How's the new hotel? (And looks like another great time, as usual!)

Fantastic hotel. The social just wrapped up (it was in a 12th floor conference room -- nice!). Both DMs were slain but no PCs died despite the expected TPK at the end. The battle between the dread vampire-lich Alucard (Chainsaw), evil infiltrator of the party, and the rest of the party over my PC in a battle of competing Charm Person spells was epic. The fact that one of my three magic items randomly rolled was a sword with six wishes might've been a factor...

"The scenario is designed for a massive group of 20+ players at various levels of inebriation."

Yeah, that just about covers it.

I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of certain parties from that adventure!

Color me jealous! Thanks for posting the pictures! (Grodog has some on facebook too; not sure whether they're linked upthread.)

Somebody buy Steve a drink for me! I'll pay you back! (I owe him a drink for a bonus he sent along with The Castle that Fell From the Sky a couple months ago.)

First to find it - you have a valuable map now! I can't remember, did you scrawl any helpful notes on the walls there? :)

Also, don't forget, austinjimm's PC found the tower's roof!

Ran away, but lived to fight another day! I'll offer Foolsgrave 4-5 times at Gary Con too, so you can resume your exploration then if the timing works out.

...and austinjimm's PC remains on the tower's roof! At least he has that old, old man for company and a Spoon of Tastiness that can sustain them indefinitely (though never quite sate their hunger!). :twisted:

I'll check in later. Stuck on the roof of Chainsaw's dungeon, I won't be going anywhere soon. There's plenty of time for a nap first.

Thanks for a great Social. Had lots of fun and certainly hoping my PC can come back next year with the Sword of Mitra!

Best game of the convention for me (though, I had a really great time playing in grodog's Castle Greyhawk and particularly talking with him and Alex Johnson for at least an hour afterward).

Alucard will die next time!
