Well, stick around -- Jenny and I are in the same boat. We're on a gaming hiatus right now, but I'm sure we'll be back sometime soon.

Yea I talked with David a bit. So I understand. On a good note I will be bringing Anasta to shadowknights. It's funny how after all these years I still feel attached to a character who died on the day they where to turn lvl 2.
There are so many loose ends I need to tie up too. Ack it makes my brain hurt.

Haha - wait until Tyris=Flare shows up on shadow knights. She was a 9th level fighter / 6th level Jedi-psionist when she went on the Halls of the Dead adventure. As you may have heard, everyone that survived that adventure had their life taken from them (for daring to offend the place that belongs to the gods of the dead), and they traveled around as the living walking dead, skeletal yet with growing hair.
Next, on the island of Abydos, on the way to the plane of Abydos the party met a 40 foot tall King-Kong wannabe called Chaos that among his many 'violence' abilities (his fists did literally handfuls of d10s) he urinated upon Tetsuko for 5d10 of damage. However, impressive as he was, he only lasted a short time against Kate, Jessica, Tetsuko, and bringing up the rear, Tyris=Flare struck last and dealt a death blow to the 280+ hp creature. The essence of the god of violence then flowed into her.
Fearing for their own lives and their mission (her sanity didn't take the change well), the party threw her into the ocean to delay her while they ran through the portal to the plane of Abydos. Goddess Chaos Tyr crept out of the ocean and tried to get into the portal, but was quickly reminded that skeletons in banded mail cannot swim, even if they knew how. And so the adventure moved on without her.
In the remaining time however, she's found that the powers of chaos and the powers of an immortal living undead creature have magnified each other and she has all the abilities of your garden-variety death knight. She desires to leave the island and take up the fight against the forces of Iuz, however, without life, she has no psi points to travel dimensionally out of there. She remains trapped on a south-pacific island, full of humans that worship her...

No worries I'll just have katiya summon you up. She may freak out on seeing you but at least you would be free again.

That'd be great. 20 die fireballs are so much fun at parties. Do mind the 10' fear aura though, and if you don't mind she'll be keeping her hood drawn up over her leering skeletal face.

Fear generally effects lowbies so I would be ok. Plus if we went adventuring I would have to conjure up less food.

I believe Moorak (the guy who telekinetically tossed her ass into the ocean) has come back to the island a couple of times to check up on Queen Chaos Tyr. Each time he's left saying something like, "oh, don't worry, we've got things well in hand and are looking for a cure...gotta go..." And since she's not living anymore, even if Andar wanted to, he wouldn't be able to find her...

Hey if he shows up the second time, I demand some roleplay.
Actually, I just ordered the book 'Primal Rage: The Avatars by Vornholt, John' that was the book written directly from the video game who David used to make the monsters. I plan to read up on Chaos and see what exactly she should be doing and how she should be behaving. It apparently describes the individual human avatars that embodied each beast on Urth (Earth).
The Wiki article actually makes Chaos to out to be the decay god rather than violence...some other interesting things include that both Sauron and Talon are (were) Virtuous Beasts unlike Chaos (Decay) and Diablo (evil).
Anyway, Goddess Chaos Tyr demands to speak with Moorak!!!

Sounds like a major quest is in order to get her fixed up. So I have a plan...
First we would need some academic ground work done to get all the information we need. On topics pertaining to her undead state, her new godly state and her original heratige. Also info on the where and why fronts would help. I'm sure at the guild I have minions and a assisrtant or two. They can do all the Grad student leg work.
Secondly we would probaly need some items or ingrediants to fix her up. Maybe we have to brew, bake, rivet or lash together some stuff to get the "blank blank of Tyris Flare blanking". For that we use all the little people who come asking us for stuff. Lowbies always come to the guild looking for potions or to try survivor. We hook them with tales of the shiney stuff they will get or the nice 20% off no sales tax on item whatever. Then say to get that deal or directions to that lair of shiney objects you must go and bring me the "blank" that I need.
Then when we have all the items and paid all the minions ( or buried the bodies) we put together the stuff or do that one last part "That you must be this tall to enter" and then go use the thing on her. After that it's Miller time

It's not too hard - the party's pennance for the affront of violating the halls of the dead was their lives. Most of the other characters have since appeased their own gods of the dead (Hades, etc) however, stuck on the island Erishkregal (Babalonian goddess of Death) has not been impressed with her progress at becoming a god herself. I suspect that a mere trip to any nearby Bablonian priest of either Erishkregal, Erishkregal's hubby (who's name I can't remmber) or even possibly Ishtar could get some idea of how to appease them. I kind of like the idea of Tyris=Flare being undead, haunting around in some desolate place until it came time to be a hero and save the world. Then she'd make some kind of sacrifice to Erishkregal and power up like Thundercats' Mum Ra and become Tyris=Flare the ever-living, have all her powers and abilities and just generally kick ass. The Chaos thing does kind of throw a money wrench in this whole affair, since they feed off of each other. However, I suspect (hope) the shadow knights game does transform her back into something at least slightly more playable.  |

Yea being made unplayable is worse than death. Death as we know is not a permanant state.

Hey Elf, just to warn you, but even the original Dragon article I got the Primal Gods from was flawed. The author got his info wrong, which is from a bad original it seems. One of the actual video game designers read about it and posted the "correct" meanings of the Primal Gods, which is what I use, including the "mysterious" eighth one.

Right - this book was supposedly written to expound upon what the video game designers originally did - they hired the writer to do it. Anyway, it should be interesting, but if Chaos = 'Violence' at this point, that actually really fits Tyr. She is form of the chosen destructor, Gozer the Gozarian would get along great.
