No worries DA.

I just checked and I was wrong.

There was a magical belt that Xaris traded, but this other one came from the Sharran werewolf.

I also discovered that the belt offers a +1 bonus to Xaris' strength. It's listed on p.43 of the game thread.

It was a while ago so I don't really remember. But didn't Xaris trade the belt with the critter at the bottom of that dungeon? (the one in which we rescued the small boy and in which Artanis went 'boom'... )

Kaelyn answered that a few days ago.

Oh and before I forget, there was a great one from an English comedian, Spike Milligan, who died a few years ago and had transcribed on his headstone:

'I told you I was ill.'

Subject: Epitaphs


Just wondering if anyone has any epitaphs they'd like to share for characters long departed.

I came across an amusing one, although it wasn't my own:

'Here lies Grymlock

If you can read this,
I didn't kill you.'

Yes it is a good time for you to jump back in. I don't want to spoil the posts that you'll be reading too much, but we're fighting within the walls of the Keep against an army.

...And that's not even an exaggeration.

Were it not for the appearance for the Lolthite drow, I would have had Aelistae try to cut a way through to you.

It does make sense to try and prevent the group (including Atharam and his company) from being split up into small pockets of resistance. If that did happen it'd be easy for us to be picked off one at a time.

Topic: Copywrite Police?
Subject: ...


If we're to police the fact that people might hold material that infringes copyright why stop at mp3 players?

There was a time when it was common practice to record songs that appeared on the radio using old cassettes, should we retroactively penalize that activity?

Or better yet, let's slap a fine on someone humming a tune as they make their way to work or school! :-/

Oh and Bri, you make a fair enough point. But just bear in mind that Bronwyn has not seen and nor can she see any drow about.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: the Unsung Heroes Q/A
Subject: Aelistae's actions


Just moving this here, as otherwise the 'out of character' part of my post is huge and bloated.

Aelistae's actions: she is going to use the scroll of alter self she found earlier (quite a bit earlier) to transform herself into an avariel or winged elf. Or rather an avariel-drow hybrid, since she’s not changing her appearance except to give herself wings. She’s also going to take to the wing this round, so that she’s above the hovering drow. In the subsequent round she’s going to charge the Lolthite drow. Rawr!

As far as I can tell, Aelistae will lose her drow racial abilities while transformed, but will gain +4 to racial bonus to Spot, +4 to Jump, a flying speed of 50’ with average maneuverability. She also (I think) gains a dive attack, which means she’ll do double damage with a piercing weapon when she’s charging while flying. Conveniently her elven courtblade is a piercing or slashing weapon.

Yes all drow know one another, don't you know.

But I couldn't agree more. It's going to be one tough fight ahead, so keeping the friendly fire incidents to a minimum would be helpful.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: A small matter of faith...


All around Aelistae lay the corpses of orcs and goblins cut down by her blade, and the weapons of her companions. They had fallen together in an ugly clump of tangled limbs, spilled organs and dark, viscous blood. But Aelistae’s eyes were focused elsewhere – at the figure that hovered above the keep.

Her fine, graceful features, ebony hair, and shock of long white hair left no doubt what she was.

“Dheraow!” Aelistae cried in a strangled gasp, her voice sounding suddenly distant to her own ears, as if coming from a long distance away.

She blinked silently in the cold cell, but the tears wouldn’t stop. Shafts of burning silvery light spilled through a narrow window and illuminated the thin wooden walls in which she lay. But it, and the pain it caused her eyes, was not the reason for her tears. It was the music that rode on the back of each silvery shaft.

A dozen or more voices rose and fell together in a haunting melody, fitting so seamlessly together it was impossible to tell where one began and the other ended. She knew of what they sang, knew of the heresy that lay each of their words. But although she tried to close her heart to them, the tears wouldn’t stop.

“Climb out of the darkness to join with the light.
Turn your face to the sky, your elven birthright.
Dance with the wind, bring your song into the air,
Behold the forest’s home, with the moon ever so fair.
Lend your strength to the needy; battle evil with steel.
Join in the hunt; to no other gods kneel.
Purge the monster within and without,
The heart becomes free, and holds no doubt.
Trust in your sisters; lend your voice to their song.
By joining the circle, the weak are made strong.”

“Beautiful,” she admitted quietly to the dark, after the song had come to a close.

“Yes it is,” the darkness answered. “Your voice could join them if you wished.”

“No,” she mouthed, partly to that voice and partly to quell the troubling desires that rose within her chest.

“Why? What do you have to fear?”


“Nothing,” Aelistae answered, with renewed conviction. And the sound of her own voice gave her strength.

“Bow mortals to Bolikar, Blessed by the One Eye, and next to Ascend to the realm of Gods!” the drow female cackled from far above her, even as her eyes met Aelistae’s. A flicker of recognition swam across the woman’s face and her lips curled into a sneer. “Dos vel'uss kla'ath l'ssindossa quar'valsharess d'lil kivvil darthiir zhal tlu biu or'shanse ulu l'uss seke Ilhar!” she spat at her fellow drow.*

But any fear Aelistae had felt had long passed. She would not be cowed so easily.

“Nau!” she cried defiantly. “Udos phuul'naut wun l'ssussun'eb har'olen d'lil Har'oloth ghil. Gaer ph' nau byr Orbb Dosib Elg'caressen ulu dormagyn dos. Drill Eilistraee zhah rilvel'klar pholor nindol drathiril isto – wun ussta xukuth, wun ussta quortek, lu'mrigg ussta da're. Udos zhal kyorl vel'dos Quar'valsharess zhah garethil!”*

In an instant her sword was in her sheath and her fingers held the tattered edges of a scroll. An instant later she stood as she had before - except for the long, elegant, feathery wings that emerged from her back.



OOC: *"You who serve the whore goddess of the surfacebound traitors shall be an offering to the one true Mother!" (this is what she says to Aelistae according to Kaelyn’s PM).

*Aelistae’s response is: “No! We’re not in the lightless caverns of the Underdark here. There are no other Spider Kissing Bitches to save you. But Eilistraee is everywhere on this moonlit night – in my heart, in my soul, and guiding my arm. We shall see whose Goddess is stronger!”

A more detailed description of her actions is in the Q/A.
