Countdown.
Aug. 2nd, 2002 04:26 pmOk, I'm about halfway through lunch about now, then back to work until 8. After that, I go gaming.
Now, the current sitch in this D&D game. We're injured. One healer is very very dead, the other is out of spells. We're out of magic users. We just fought off an advance army while holding a small tower. The army was some...ghost-but-not-undead thing, a few elementals, a trio of giant Spiders, and Clerics than can cast lots of Flame Strikes. Add to this about 70 Gnolls and more human soldiers. The player of the Dwarf Fighter won't be there tonight, and I'll be late due to work. We're hurt bad, and the sun's setting, and my character has Lycanthropy.
And the rest of the army just showed up.
The GM thinks this is it. The End. We're dead. And, seeing the odds, and no divine intervention to help, I'm inclined to agree with him.
And part of me couldn't ba happier. Closing a book on a campaign that I don't think I ever really took to. Maybe start anew, maybe give myself some more free time, I dunno.
Maybe afte tonight, the choice will, for once, be mine.
