More Ass, More Names
Today was my other D&D campaign, you know, the evil one. We met in Mudge, but everyone was laaaaaaate. I went to the O and played pinball and got food even, and it didn't set back the start time. So, we resolved the thingy from last time (where half the party was on the top of the mountain and half was on the bottom) by just having the half on the top finish their part of the adventure - it took like half an hour to do - Nasri kicked some ass - and then they came down and we all got together and headed off to the "other" location of stuff we needed to take care of. On the way we stopped in a desert city and looked through their (deserted) library. Nasri found a trapdoor leading to their "rare books" room, except it turned out that there was a big stone door trapped with an energy field that you had to make a will save or be stuck there unable to move into the room, and once in the room there were several crustacean type creatures that attacked us. Carl had a magic circle against evil up, which was really funny to me because my character is evil. Heh. So I was hiding in the magic circle and spring attacking out to attack the creatures... I think it would have been really funny if they'd come into the circle and attacked me. Anyway, we disposed of the crustacean thingies and took all the books out of this room (they were hundreds of years old but very well preserved). One of the books detected as magic. Kyle and I sat down to read it. He used his glasses of true seeing or whatever, and I used my decipher script skill. I rolled a 21 (13+8) for decipher script, and after that Django had us both make Intelligence checks. Well, I got a 21 on that also (rolled an 18+3) and Kyle got an 18. So Kyle couldn't really tell what was up with the book, but I got taken out of the room and Django told me what was up with it.

dvarin is reading this, I'm not going to tell you what he told me it does. Let's just say that it is a very cool power that the book gives me, even if it wants me to continue to keep it with me and not give it up to anyone else in the group, and that it is very similar to a minor artifact out of the DMG. Hee. Anyway, our session ended a little bit after that. I am sort of impressed with the detail Django put into this little nothing podunk city in the desert - or at his ability to make stuff up like that on the fly. I wish there would be more than 2-3 more sessions in that campaign, but oh well. Towards the end of the session this kid came in like "hey, I know those sounds... mind if I sit in and watch your game or a bit?" but everyone ignored him or was like "eh, we're at the end of our session anyway." as he left, I saw he was holding a folder so I went down the hall to say "hey, are you a bagger? I'm sorry we were rude to you. when you come to CMU next year, make sure you join Ragnarok, ok?" heh. We didn't actually have any freshmen this year and a lot of the core members are seniors, so it's going to be interesting next year.
After D&D I went around campus a little bit with Carl and eventually came home. I haven't accomplished much this evening... a little cleaning, and some cooking (I made salmon croquettes for dinner, and Eli made this weird orzo-with-celery-root salad thing. The croquettes were too dry and the celery root stuff was pretty gross.), and I guess I might scan in some pictures and stuff. I dunno. I need to clean more, but I feel so uninspired to do it.

no subject
but, if he's interested for next year, i think sending email to ragnarok@andrew might get him somewhere. i'm not sure.
