D & D 1

So we kicked off Dani's D&D campaign today. We were a little short on people only three players for Dani. I felt bad for her because it really sucks when people say they are interested but don't show. Also I was afraid that we'd get beat down. However things started off pretty quick. We had me (aka Vor), Isaac (aka Koa), and Sean (aka Damien). Shifter, Pally-whacker extreme and a Cleric of Corellan Larethian. Isaac's knowledge of D&D is amazing as his character is extremely well twinked so the fact we were half the original party size wasn't a problem. In fact we're darn lucky (except Dani whose job is harder!) that Isaac knows his way around so well!

Anywho we started out with a quasi-intro to other teams and the organizers of this little event. The event btw is an interplanar tournament. The intro was nice I got to see many of our opponents and therefore can impersonate them. I love large groups of creatures, new forms for wild shape. We get ourselves situated in our own homebase pocket dimension. Then take off to our first event which is a mission on the material plane. The basic set up is that a ghost dragon (w00t new form!) who wants revenge on his silver dragon brother who murdered him. Without much dilly dally we manage to locate and arrive at the dragon's cave but Damien and Vor prolly didn't quite do a ton.

The next event was on Gehenna and was a bit more interesting. My corollax lasted approx 1 round before being charred. Ended up sending my grimlakin far away for safety. In the meantime as we got surrounded by two pyroclastic dragons I atempted to use the form of a diamond golemn for combat but was a little dissapointed as his really nice 60/+3 DR wasn't good enough against wyrm level dragons! So eventually did my bemusing trick of imitating my enemies (Dani didn't see this coming). It worked ok. I'm a lot harder to kill because I'm immune to element based attacks but due to my limit of being only able to go up to Huge size at the moment I could not do much damage! Koa again proved to be badass but Damien got some nice touches in with his holy longsword (nothing like dinking for holy damage regardless what DR soaks up otherwise). Also got a new 1 HD Animal Companion to replace Russ Feingold (yea my corollax was named after Democratic senators from Wisconsin and now it seems my 1 HD creature will traditionally retain the fine name of Russ and hopefully the new incarnation a pyro salamander thingy will last slightly longer!)

An interesting start, Dani's gonna have her work cut out for her. I'm highly interested in the MM3 now just for more creatures to emulate but also need to examine current MMs! Want to try to do stuff other then mirror Dani's opponents. Well next game will be in 2 weeks!
