Yes folks, having survived the hill giants, ogres and destrachan, today we face the main orc army as it descends on Deadsnows.
I figure Tyr saved his lowly cleric last time round, so 2 levels of paladin have been added.
I don't intend to kill my character, but the DM might have other ideas. I'll let you know how things go.

Heh, I would think one of the Nine could decimate their group. All of them would be overkill.

Use the terrain to your benefit!

A ghost haunt Alustriel? A level 13 ghost... lol! Oh no! If your DM (although, saying that is difficult) pulls that one, I would cry foul. No way is a Chosen of Mystra going to be taken over by some silly ghost! Alustriel is too powerful, and Mystra won't allow it.

Granted, this guy seems to break the game more ways then I've seen in years. I would suggest your group sit him down and reign him in, or you're not going to enjoy the game for long. This feels like Monty Haul with no "Zonks." [:P]

BTW, the guy playing the paladin is deliberately roleplaying him that way. It's pretty funny. Instead of charging into battle he stands back, all alone saying "Hold the line" lol. Yesterday when the baddies came swarming through he ran off to protect the children, too funny. The DM didn't bat an eyelid. I'm going to see how long he takes to work the Paladin out.

Back to the main topic, Couldn't you have just told the DM that you were at peace and had no interest to return to the land of the living? I thought the deceased had to be willing to return, for it to work?

And are you saying after all your hard work that supposedly, bought Tyr himself down to return you to the land of the living, that Try was a miser and only used a simple Raise Dead on you? Remind me never to worship his cheap ass! [)]

keep waiting for your group to face the Terrasque. That should be within the next couple of those sessions, no?

Tyr himself will probably step it to help you! Maybe even Mystra?

Or better yet that chaos god (the one who stepped on Tasslehoff, I forget his name) he can certainly make an appearance.

Or maybe Ao will go crazy and it'll be your character's job to put him down like the dog that he is! [:o)]

The Chaos god's name was... drumroll!... Chaos! [)]

Don't get me going on Dragonlance. That is another campaign I'm in, with another of our group being the DM. We're about L11 average in that campaign, and yes we have met Malysteryx (sp). Well she disdainfully flew over our group, but one of the party (not my Druid) is destined to do a Mina and bring her down in this DMs version of the War of Souls.
Yeah, we have magic in this kidnapped Krynn, and yeah, the undead are leaving us alone, for the time being. So those of you who know the campaign setting and the era will know that there is a big fudge factor here too.
That aside ELs are more realistic, even though we have had to beat the snot out of loads of dragonspawn (don't ask how).
Magic items do seem to 'fall from the sky'. It is the highest magic level campaign I have ever played in. Sort of fun having epic level gear at low levels.
The DM has a great storyline going and lots of action, so we're not sweating the plot variations. All good fun, which is the main thing.

In the end it gets down to one statement, "What can you do, he's a mate."

i've said it many times, as have many people in my group. Not about our DM specifically, but about a player who did the most inane and foolish things you can imagine in a game. His characters were pure disruption, but hey, he meant well, and that counts for a lot. Everyone has sat through a game they didn't enjoy from time to time because friendship is involved. At the end of the day, the friend is more important anyway.

You're absolutely right, Sidd. Friendship is more important than a game. If I gave the impression that I value the game more than friendship, that's not what I meant.
However, what is wrong with just saying to this guy, in a polite, constructive way, that maybe he shouldn't be DMing? That's all I'm saying.
In the end glauron, it's your life, it's your decision, so be it. I'm not trying to tell you what you should do, I'm just trying to understand why your group puts up with it, that's all. If you believe that telling him this will endanger the friendship then I fully understand why you don't want to do it. Is that the case?

Anyway, next Monday, it's my turn to pilot. At the end of the session I'll ask for feedback.
Maybe next time he DMs he will do the same.
Cheers
