The minotaur kept a close eye on the oni, walking a short distance behind and offset. If you didn't know, you'd think the bull-head was marking a target and checking for witnesses before committing some dastardly deed. Rather, to the discerning (arcane) eye, it was one dragon watching the back of t...

Findriel holds up her hands, hoping to fire off a spell to stop Tahlia of Dis from joining the game. Unfortunately for her, Tahlia is entirely too fast. After the first fatal strike, the succubi disappear. For good measure, the Fury continues hacking until she is satisfied that reincarnation is out ...

I know that game. When room in your schedule opens enough to run this, barring a massive influx of new players, I'd like to join.

@Tribe of One did this concept ever gain any additional traction? I would like to jump in on this if there's room.

The doors are closed but any locking mechanism has long since failed. They open haltingly, with a massive shriek of grinding metal announcing to anyone around for miles that you are here.

Severely disappointing, for sure. I like my guy and how he turned out, and I was looking forward to exploring the CS as more than "ooga booga, nazi nazi." Still, I get it and wouldn't begrudge anyone a break. When the reservoir is depleted, you can't force it back. I think I might be overd...

The land is bleak. The world is stripped of life. In addition to the powerful ebbs and flows of mystic and psionic power, harsh winds sweep the land.

Not that it matters much but Blood and Banes has a silver holy symbol that you could use as a base item. Cause, you know, silver seems elfish.

It matters, most definitely. Actual functional silver is better than wanna-be silver.
