Dungeons and Dragons and Drinking

Every Tuesday that we can, a few of us gather 'round a nice, cozy internets and play Dungeons and Dragons.
And drink heavily.
Iain is our DM (Dungeon Master as opposed to District Manager), and he has come up with a magnificent campaign for our characters to explore and destroy.
(Side note: Explore and Destroy is the best Warcraft guild name ever)
I want to sum up the story of the campaign so far, but it's been months since act 1 finished and my character was crowbarred into the story half way through. I shall email my good friend Alex and see if he can't blog it.
But at any rate, here's a summary of characters:

Fenrak Fjörgynn (Alex)
Dwarf Fighter.
Son of an accountant, equipped with his reading glasses and massive shield, Fenrak is a proven unstoppable force. Fenrak is the most level headed one of the group. Many wild and crazy ideas come from our collective madness, but Fen always knows what's really the best course of action. and it usually has something to do with his hammer and faces.

Ethuli'en Smith (Thom)
Half-Elf Paladin.
I'm gonna do a separate post about Ethuli'en since he's my character. Also, he's way too awesome for a summary. Although that's really true for all of the characters. Except Jack.

Crispin Grant (Michael)
Human Wizard
Alcoholism and magic are seldom a good idea to practice together, but Crispin deftly pulls it off every time most of the time. Recently exchanged his Magic Missile spell for something else due to the fact it hit party members instead of the intended target without fail. With a murdered wife and a plethora of emotional baggage, Crispin is definitely the most complex character.

Orbrinus (Derek)
Drow (Dark Elf) Rogue
Blade monster. We've seen him do 76 damage in a single (sort of) attack. Which is ridiculous because a hefty hit from Fenrak the Tank or Ethuli'en the Glass Cannon does an impressive 30-40 damage. Mostly quiet except for his punchlines. No one knows timing like Orb.

Larien (Courtney)
Elf Priest
The only female member of the party. Also our healer. Pulled our sorry wounded asses out of more than a few scrapes. Sarcasm is her primary offensive method.

Jack Nickles (Jacob)
Ex-Human, Shadar Hunter
Likes coffee and douchbaggery. Constantly undermines the group for the sole sake of attention. "Chaotic Neutral" apparently means he can do whatever the fuck he wants and it's considered funny. It's not.

I'm going to try and do a summary blog every Tuesday after the game. we'll see how long that lasts. Although i suppose i have to post the story summaries first to get the readers (yeah right) up to speed.

  1. So, when are we going to see more D&D posts? I like to hear everyone's take on 'the state o' things'. As a psuedo-DM, feedback is always wonderful ;)
