CO Diary: The life and art of Beguiling

[Black Knight]

Session 26: Questions answered and Oh shit, its us!!! has been added.

Lots of plot info and one tough battle.

I have to say that the look on Carthus' face when he realized each image of himself - including his mirror images - was stepping out of the Mirror was priceless.

[Hallack]

Session 27: Greater Golems and a Drow no more has been added

[Hallack]

Session 28: Sun Elves, Steelwings, and the Conclave on the Move has been added.  We will be playing again tonight so I will get to another update hopefully in another day or so as well.

Hope you enjoy.

[Ian Frost]

We (or at least I) certainly are(am) enjoying this

[Hallack]

Session 29: Of Paranoia, or Lessons Relearned added.

Turns out that as I have continued the diary I have ended up adding more and more of the plot/story elements then I had originally intended.  Once again, hope you all enjoy. 

I'd even welcome any thoughts, ideas, tactics for the game. 

I even welcome you to help me cheerfully and politely jeer at my DM.  

No jeering at our bad judgments though

Cheers.

[Hallack]

Session 30: Of New Blood and New Places has been added. 

If things go well we may be getting to play tomorrow night so another addition could be possible within a few days.

[Hallack]

Session 31: Of Old Acquaintances and New Masters has been added. 

We played Session 32 last night so will try to get it up soon as well.  No promises though

[Hallack]

Session 32:  Of Plots, Planning, and Epic Foes has been added.

Come read our tale of woe and cringe with me as you learn what we face 

[Phaenix]

Keep these coming, Hallack! It's an entertaining read, and sounds like a challenging and fun campaign.

Okay, I'll try and get updated character information up.  Yes, Carthus is another player who was playing Abrupt Jaunt Conjuration specialist that I convinced to go Swiftblade.  After a few levels of lost casting he is eating it up as I knew he would.  He is now (after last night) Conjurer 6/Swiftblade 10 I believe.  Tabby is now 16th level Rogue though I tried to convince her to take a level of Swordsage last night hehe.  She just got a new feat (along with previously taken feats) so that her sneak dice are now d12's, 10 of them I think.

In the last several sessions I was 13-14th level.  Beguiler 13/ Shadow Adapt 1.

We played again last night where we finished up that big fight killing the two duergar, two more CR 23 Mindflayers, and their Illithid king.  There was soooo much freaking luck and timely awesomeness (and luck) from Carthus in that fight or we would have been toast almost from the start of the night.  But more on that later when I get to the diary.

Thanks for the comments, questions, and feedback.  Helps keep me motivated to continue writing. 

Don't forget, it's okay to comment about how horribly mean my DM is so that he can read it here. 

[Hallack]

Session 33: Hail to the King or Hey, I'll take that Anchor has finally been added.  We've wrapped up the big fight with the Mind Flayers and are now looking to get ourselves outta town.

[Hallack]

Just went and edited a few spelling errors and added a blip about the Illithid King failing his Will save vs Freezing Glance due to an Unluck effect Carthus had running.

[Hallack]

Session 34:  Of Unfolding Plots and Seven Stat Points Lost has been added.  It was one of the more enjoyable sessions for me.

Still planning on updating the Character sheets and even considering creating multiple versions reflecting various levels of progression.  Maybe something like levels 1,5,15, etc...

Anyways hope you enjoy.

[dna1]

that would be awesome. but 1 and 5 pretty much the same... just do like a 1, 10, and then what ever you end at version. thatd be cool 



enjoyed reading them, keepm comin 

[Hallack]

Just updated the first post Character Section.

Added Stat progression based upon level and events
Added Notes on Race and Template changes and Sessions occured
Added/Modified Gear List for around 8th and 16th levels
Added note on when some Key Gear was lost (Amulet of An'Aren)
Added Skills & Tricks section to give basic break down of skills as advanced.

Is that enough info or there any particulars desired?

Nah, I'll just tell you to start reading from the frakin beginning and catch up

My style of posting changed a good bit from the beginning and I'm adding a lot more of the plot related stuff.  Starting out you got some but I tried to focus more simply upon events as related to the Beguiler class.

Where/what is the Mask Signature feat?

EDIT: Nevermind!  Found it a page back... 

[Hallack]

Thanks rypta,  I went back and added a description of Mask Signature to the Feats section in the Original Post.
