Lately BlAde and I have been playing a 20th level Dungeon, Using a couple of Homebrewed classes. The party consists of Droown, the Human Water Mage, and Vanessa, the Elf Air Mage, and any obscure NPC allies we find.
I'll give you a little background knowledge for you: Droown is a complete master of Water, and as such he fights best under or near water. I actually built the character as a Captain, with his own boat and everything. He devoted more than 300,000 gp into his ship. Has a crew of about 150 (including self and Cohort), due to the Leadership feat, all armed with Masterworks.
Test Session: I'm on land. Alone. Why? My 300,00+ gp Boat sunk. Yeah.
The dice hated me. I could never roll high on Spot checks (not a class skill, but Listen is) and Failed Epicly like 4 times (we play roll of a 1 is a humorous and humiliating failure-in this case failing to notice the ground, and thus falling) My guy looked like a moron b/c I was failing DC 12 Spot Checks with a +8 Wisdom Mod. As, such, at one point the Entire Battlefeild was moved to somewhere else, and I didn't even notice. On the other hand I would Epicly Succeed every Listen Check put in front of me, due to maxing out the skill. Total Listen bonus: +31 Total Spot Bonus: +8
Actually, I think we had an entire combat session underwater...I was fighting an animated Trident, in an enclosed tank. Enclosed. Can't use my 110ft Base Swim speed. Or the fact that I can make DC 56 Swim checks WITHOUT EVEN ROLLING THE DICE. Or my favorite Ability, Drown Touch.
However, I did have some really Epic moments. Killed a Balor, but rolled a one on the reflex save so took 200 Damage instead of 100. I only have 200 Health total. And I was wounded. Instant Death. Luckily, I had a nifty Ring that made it so I couldn't die...
Later I killed a 20th level Sorcerer with one Spell (Geyser, a homebrewed equivilant of lightning bolt), Because he cursed and broke my Family-heirloom +5 Wounding, Corrosive, Cold, Shocking Pearlsteel spear. I coup de graced him for an hour solid. He came back as a lich the next round and PWKed me. I was at full health so he cast Wall of Fire and Cone of Cold First. For some ridiculous reason I didn't notice the fact that I had been light on fire, and then frozen to less than half my hit points. But, whatever.

The Hero Chronicles: Ianril
The rain falls. It washes away the blood of the fallen.
They are coming. Hordes of them. Too many to kill. To many to survive...
Here I stand. Alone. All have fallen. All is lost.
And yet we resist. Sword meets Shield. Axe meets skull...
I have failed. My King. My land. My Family. All shall die. Just as many died today...
There are to many of them. We cannot win. But we must...WE MUST NOT FAIL
None survived. None...
They are falling back! Victory is near...So close...
We have failed. I have failed...
How was everyone's Christmas?
So yeah. I'm not going to write a bloody essay about Christmas day (unlike a certain Caitlin I know). I'm going to take a moment to describe all the loot I jacked from a short, fat man in a red suit. Actually, no I'm not. You get to guess. No, never mind. No guessing. I'll just tell you.
Hmmm....I did recieve some mildly Epic Stuff: The most Epic watch Mankind has ever produced, a copy of The Counte of Monte Cristo, Tales of Beedle the Bard, A new set of Dice, a camera, a new sweater, choclotate, some cash, and a Wii. Now you all (with the exception of Faidor and Co.) know of my devotion to the Xbox 360. After getting and playing a Wii, my opinion is the same. 360 pwns the heck out of Nintendo. Now, I'm not saying the Wii is bad (after all, why would I complain about a videogame consule my parents actually let me play?) I'm just pointing out that the 360 is better. I just got back from the store where I purcahsed my first Wii game: Lego Batman. I know. You were expecting something more, oh I don't know...gunsy-killsy, Epicsy? Yeah. So was I. I just had to pick a family game. BUT, on the upside I only had to pay for half. Anywho, hpw did everyone else do? Any good loot?
