OSE night

 Made it through first big adv.  Secomd run of second adv. 

Magic lady, little ole lady, was a doppelganger.  Other fighter who never melees was near her and went to zero. Doppel stunned by true npc ole lady mage.  Eveybody tried stabilizing fighter2, bad rolls, so near dead.  Finally last npc saved him.  We killed freely doppel.  

Dragon (not dragon) near pool. Dangerous stuff. 

Felt more fun than this description sounds. 

Food order health

 Food order

Fiber first

Then protein

Then carbs

Supposed to help good gut bacteria. Might be true. But what’s up w Japan diet and low fiber. Then again, they have more stomach cancers (even if less all other cancer).

Next time - G3 module D&D

 Drow. Drow. 

Eclavdra. 

And Eclavdra’s enemy?

Drow drow = ambush and run? Or a dozen sleeping arrows and capture? 

• Drow tell fire giants “take the sword fools!” They know the sword hates giants  

If capture- Exlavdra might say “you are powerful but foolish for being captured. It seems you would risk all for treasure… perhaps you are not so alien to me. We can make a deal. Release you, but I keep this sword that hates giants… it may ne of use to me. This bow of light and sword of light are hateful and stupid things in our dark world. We drow would not use them, for the enemy would spot us easily (and hurt eyes). … …. …………… … but for me you must spy on my enemy. The Spider Queen lovers haunt my footsteps. Eliminate them and you have won your freedom.

G3 Results So Far (Nearing End) - troll rooms, Tsunami spell, Green Slimes

 So the kid uncovered much of the lowest level in G3, Hall of the Firegiant King. The latest things include:

• Avoiding red dragon lair till last (he figured out there was a real dragon in there sleeping). 
• Fought 30+ trolls, maybe 40 trolls so far. There were 2 drow hiding amongst them in the ceiling on lizards, but the crazy high level Tsunami spell from the Druid took one of them out along with a lot of trolls. 
• Fought 4 more drow hiding in another room. One was a fighter-mage who cast some problematic spells. Another used darkness to cause trouble. A few trolls were there too and surrounded the party, but then tey were all in darkness when that happened. A Party spell to the right of the darkness (Hunger of Hadar?) fizzled. Warlock got put to sleep from sleep bolt from drow. Lightning bolt hit 3 of the party, and a troll lol. That woke up the Warlock b/c couldnt have avoided the lightning bolt. 
• He started taking out the trolls and then the drow... one drow fell from the ceiling vs. the air elemental I think, but used levitate to survive the fall.
• The air elemental wildshaped druid chased the drow on thelizards and easily caught up after a couple of rounds. 
• The wizard drow used inviz to get away. 
• Super ultra deadly green slimes attacked him after a drow tried to trick them into going into that bottom right narrow hallway with a pool at the end. The green-blue things worded to seem as if they were minerals in the walls and ceiling. I was worried he might lose a character and need to use a wish spell but here is what happened:
• Sent the druid wildshaped into an air elemental down the hall super duper fast... the green slimes couldn't fall on him, as the elemental was so fast and more like wind than a creature. BUT when he stuck his arm in the pool to get the gems, that green slime attacked his arm. It was "burning like crazy, despite the air elemental form usually not feeling much pain"... I rolled a secret roll on a d6 to see how many rounds before he'd be destroyed/turned into a green slime... then he thought to try turning into a fire elemental and burning it off. PERFECT! That worked great, now to get outta there. Unfortunately the rest of the party had run into try to help, and on the way out they had an unlucky roll and a green slime fell on the fighter's arm. Luckily he burned it off with the fire elemental, and they got out with no more issues. Left the treasure in the pool, it wasn't that great anyhow. Realized the drow was trying to lure him here.
• Piercers- on Sunday we played for 20 minutes. Piercers. They are weird… what do they do once they hit you. Are they stuck on you and a mouth tries to eat you? Probably. The kid was still a fire elemental so they hot him then fell off… can’t eat fire! So then they super slowly crawl back up the cave wall over hours(?). 

Deathstalker 2025 looks fun

 Good practical effects.  And Slash was the exec producer. And director drew from Heretic and Diablo games.

G3 Dragon speech

 In low rumbling he begins “who now has awakened me from my long slumber? What is this, puny mortals?” Says amusingly. He whispers something old in Draconic, lights flood from his eyes… harmless… then closes one eye. 

Calmly still “Let us speak. Ones so bold must have an interesting story. Why are you here among the foolish giants and stinking trolls?” 

(Waits for some story)

In THUNDEROUS TONES “Now you may witness I, xxxxnamexxxx, in my full glory!” As he rises up on his hind legs and stretches his wings. 

Be you impressed? Of course you are. .. any who behold the Might and Magesty of my kind are AWED and COWED. 

Lo, I see one kind among you with dragon blood! I have heard of many over the centuries but never has one such come to pay homage. Do you acknowledge my right to a dream-filled slumber, or are the others with you convinced they might rob me of my long held treasure? Even these greedy giants do not dare lay a finger on ONE SINGLE COIN!!! (He roars!). NAY! (More calmly), nay… they might be stupid but not so foolish.
