*Sweeps off a bit of dust*

So, every project is a bit forgotten at the moment, thats for sure. Thats what happens when life takes over I guess. However I suppose I have done at least a little bit of work for Imago. However over the break I do actually plan on doing a bit of work on it, and I have to since I have promised a few people to run a small dnd3.5e adventure for them, nothing serious though.

Speaking of dnd, I have recently joined up in a 4e adventure which is pretty interesting to say the least, I’ve been enjoying it – even if I do find it a tad combat heavy and light on story, however it is the beginning of the campaign and I am going to do my best to provide more if the DM doesn’t bring it to the table, ha.  I am playing a cleric named Harold Darlin, pretty interesting stuff. I have been key in some encounters to which is nice. For example:

We’re inside a dungeon on the side of a mountain attempting to rescue a Merchant and we’re nearing the end of the dungeon. We enter one room and have the door blocked behind us with a portcullis. Inside the room the magical defenses of the ruin – which are from some ancient race – activate and summon a magical scorpion. This scorpion is a 2sq monster that has a variety of attacks including a stinger that can poison for ongoing damage.

As the dungeon continues and the battle goes on, our company of five is taking quite a beating until our main tank -our Dragonborn Paladin is snatched up in the claws of the and is slowly being crushed in its grips, but to make it even worse the Paladin has been poisoned previously by the scorpion so he was doubly in trouble. This was quite the conundrum for our group because if the Paladin falls our group won’t be far behind it.

To escape the grasp of this terrible foe the Paladin had to successfully grapple his way out of the grip, which he could not – therefore he suffered ongoing damage of from both the grip and the poison which was quickly killing him off. At this point it is safe to say we were in a situation, the group was getting seriously low on healing surges, and I had used most of my heals for the encounter up already. So we had to find a way out of this situation fast or we were all doomed.

And that my friends, is where I came in! As you can see from the above character sheet I had taken a daily called Moment of Glory which to put simply, throws an opponent three squares back and forces them prone. It was literally made for this kind of situation! So, I totally force pushed the bugger into a wall, which made him drop our courageous Paladin and allowed him to heal himself up. But thats not the best part.

Due to me pushing him into a wall the entire group was able to surround him and of course that allows us to have some amazing Attack of Opportunities when he tries to move or do any action. Needless to say, after that moment the Scorpion was not much of a threat or a challenge. Soon after we emerged victorious and the ruins defense was defeated.

Wow. Well that was last week, after that we finished off by fighting off the Bugbear champion [Name] the Smashing, if you can tell I am not the greatest at names – or at least they haven’t stuck with me. Its been nice to get back into DnD after so long, the last time I played Dungeons & Dragons was a 3.5 campaign I DM’d that fell apart over two years ago. The last time I played an actual game was, well – probably close to five years ago now I guess. So needless to say, I have been enjoying getting back into roleplaying. Since you know, I really enjoy roleplaying quite a bit.

I guess I’ll stop now, I’ve been on a pizza binge and now its time for breakfast for dinner haha!
