Stuff and D&D and stuff
Yesterday I had a pretty good day at work. I stayed until like 10pm -- I had to put together some files for a release. I ended up using up my Subway card points for a free foot-long sub for dinner, since I'm not sure how often I'll end up at Subway anymore. Arr.
Stopped by Sunset for one game of DDR. Wossname older woman I forget, she's got to be at least 40 (since I know she has a college-age son) but is blonde and built well so she looks like a teenager from the back, was there playing DDR too. I played like one game and my brain was just shot -- I did, and AA'ed, Higher Oni, BIMP, and White Lovers, with misses in every song. Yuck. Got Leading Cyber as an extra stage on random, and gave up 2/3 of the way through. I suck.
Sinlaeshel and I started a quest to go around the ocean and pick up all our stray money from random islands. We covered Sapphire last night with Dorien and Hatchetback and Nauta, and covered half of Coral tonight just the two of us. I'm back up to Ultimate in everything but Spades. Grrr.
Oh, and tonight I also had D&D. It was mostly a levelling/shopping session. We continued where we left off in the drow temple, and Cory snuck up and found the top of the spider thingy. We decided to go look in the spider head chamber, but triggered a magic trap. A big-ass demon spider appeared and smacked me for like 40 HP in one shot... and fortunately I beat its initiative after that and Dimension Doored us down to where Josh was with Mike's dead body, and we all teleported out. We got to level from 11 to 13 (since we hadn't come out of the dungeon for a bazillion sessions), which is exciting. I get 6th level spells now (since I'm 6 Wizard, 1 Fighter, 6 Eldritch Knight). It wasn't hard to pick out my two 6th level spells... I looked at the Evocation list and went "CHAIN LIGHTNING DUUUUDE" and then Disintegrate is an obvious second. Oooooh. As for my 5th level, I'm looking at Permanence and Wall of Force (to go with Teleport and Cone of Cold). Hey Carl, did you notice that in 3.5 they actually made a specific 5th-level wizard spell called "Baleful Polymorph"? I would have taken that and started turning opposing wizards into turtles, but I figured it really isn't this character's style.
Anyway, we all had like 15k to spend after cashing in our loot. I couldn't come up with anything to get except a Lesser Rod of Metamagic/Maximize for 14k. That'll be sweet though. I'll be able to cast maximized fireballs/lightningbolts three times a day without wasting extra spell slots. No rolling 10d6, just going "blammo! 60 points of damage to all of you! suckers!"
I should write about baseball one of these days but I've been too preoccupied. Whee.

Our party sorceror has one of these. It's pretty disturbing, really--last night he took out an efreeti by himself just by casting area cold spells.
Get a Ring of Protection +4?

Ahh, yes, now I remember the other reason why I wanted people in the party to know Limited Wish.
Unless I win the argument that Break Enchantment should have a chance to undo Feeblemind, then we might be okay with that. :)

I really like being an evoker with Greater Spell Penetration, but still, ugh, I'd give anything for a ring of Counterspells with Feeblemind stored in it.
(You'd really be proud of this character, Mike. This is the character Janthina would have been in Greyhawk if she'd gone down the wizard route to being an arcane archer.)
