DM Speaks:
I'd say the group is overwhelmingly worried almost to a point of petrified (not in the literal sense) with what's before you. I've always considered this group a very brave bunch of individuals but I feel this mission has scared the "boots" off of ya'! Either way it's before you and you're ready to infiltrate the castle next week. 😂
Let's not forget you're also hungry not eating due to an upset stomach and worried about the beating you're about to take! 🤣
Have you turned the Kirin into an Undead Kirin after its recent defeat? If that's the case, OH BOY! Is that even possible in such short time? Hmmm, I'd doubt that?
WHAT A GAME and thanks to all for making it great! Look forward to a full house next week as it's needed for this mission! Tonight you killed Air Elementals (medium sized), slithering trackers (medium sized) and almost a WHITE DRAGON (gargantuan sized)! WOW!
OK we will discuss when we have a full house and come to a decison. We have confidence that however this plays out, John will make sure we have a fair and very challenging and fun experience....
These battles have been the most fun for me yet as Taladel!
DM Speaks:
So, how are many ghosts created? Well, it is often because they have unfinished business and cannot rest peacefully until they've completed it. Most often you encounter ghosts that have "good" business needed to be finished such as eliminating an evil enemy. However, can an evil creature have unfinished business that it cannot rest until completed such as redeeeming itself against a certain group because its failure to protect and guard its master? Hmmmmm? 😉
Hmmmm, Kirin-o-Lich! Nah, I couldn't do that to you could I!
I'm anxious for you to approach the castle without question but I completely understand your plan and will not force you to ever rush in. It does seem the cloud giants have recognized that some of their forces have not returned to the castle but that may be to your advantage (or not)! We shall see. Maybe they'll be no encounters in the castle because you've eliminated all outside. Certainly is a possibility.
I would like to continue, just as we where. Trying to take 1 or 2 ouit, at a time. Its been working. And we almost had the dragon. We missed him, by 1 round. I know at some point we have to try and go into the castle. It is part of the end goal. But I feel, every enemey we fight outside the castle. Is one less we have to fight, in the castle. I know we have been on this campign, for a very long time. And I know this sitution can be summed up, as. shit or get off the pot. I do get it, we have been here a long time. But I sooo want Sindrax to live and complete this mission. My vote is to try and take out, small forces. Instead of going in the castle.
DM Speaks Again:
I hope you recognize much of my above post was a tease! I think you underestimate your power as a group of Sea Dogs. I don't as I see how well you fare against opponents that should be a much bigger challenge. I like to scare and dwindle your confidence on the boards because I know thats a tactic which usually works. On the battlefield I have a much tougher time as you guys are quite the group!
I was feeling confident that our plan was being executed with some success. I, among others, just wanted to play this to give us our best chance. Perhaps some were not happy with that?
