beavis123 03-22-04, 10:05 AM	I like your concept, but was curious, why does your mummified ettin use a musket?? Was he buried with his weapon and ammo?
Magnificate 03-22-04, 01:04 PM	beavis123 - Well, it's one of FF (funny features) that I expect to be covered in your stories. Maybe he was buried with it? Or maybe some renegate necro/pyromancer gave it to him? Or mybe there was not a single javelin in his tomb? It's up to you:)
The_Yellow_Dart_Swinger 03-22-04, 07:42 PM	The real question would be why he would have a musket at all. Consider this for a moment gentlemen... A gnome, more percise, an evil gnome has been working on a weapon that could change the way war is fought. Actully just to give himself an advantage. His faithful but stupid, ettin servent and basic mid-boss was shown how to use it before our band of merry and CG robin hoods...hooded knights.... busted in and slew said gnome above. Our faithful (but stupid) ettin servent took his masters prized invention and ran for it.. and seeing as i don't remember how you become a mummy I will stop here..

beavis123 03-31-04, 02:17 PM	Does this creature also have a musket? Who carries a musket?? Is it a large or medium sized musket???
Magnificate 03-31-04, 02:51 PM	Troll does not carry a musket. Ettin carries a large musket (i'll edit my former message)
Morka 03-31-04, 10:02 PM	For the mummified ettin I don't know the exact process by which someone become a mummy, but I know it is a long and difficult process, that is not performed on the first coming stupid ettin. Weg-Zhort (that would be his name) was an Annis Hag's bodyguard: never surprised, he fought well with an axe and a hammer. Eventually, the annis hag gathered two sister green hags, and they formed a covey. A few ogres and giants joint them as guards. This covey could have been like any other one; it could have collapsed in a few months, it could have terrorized the area for years. The hags instead reduced many neighboring humanoïds tribe to slavery. Amongst those slaves, an old kobold, working on many strange inventions. Since he was too old to work physically, he was allowed to continue to work on his strange inventions, under the vigilance of Weg-Zhort. This is how the Ettin was witness of one of the most powerful non-magical weapon: the musket. Weg-Zhort was slow to understand things, but cleaver enough to see the advantage of the thing. He secretly helped the old kobold to build many muskets, and he suddenly became the leader of the covey. Under his guidance, the hags, ogres, giants, and humanoïd slaves became a large army, and they attacked the nearest dwarven city. The dwarves fought well, but not enough. The dwarven city was completely devasted. Weg-Zhort was wise enough to keep slaves, as well as craftmen in this conquest. It is a dwarven craftman who build him his large warhammer +1 shocking burst and his axe. Weg-Zhort dirrected his army against many different objectives, and was always victorious. But seeing himself aging, he searched a way to extend his reign. It is his old mistress, the Annis Hag, who suggest him the way: becoming undead. The covey searched in various tomes, and find an old process. They turned Weg-Zhort into a mummy. But the Weg-Zhort mind was greatly altered in the process. His natural curiosity, what made his success in his life, was replaced by a strong paranoïa. He wanted to protect his realm against anyone, even against his allies. He killed the Annis Hag, as well as one of the Green Hags; he killed many giants, he was unstoppable. The only way the last Green Hag found to stop him was to wall him in his cavern. She didn't wait that everyone flee, she had the remaining giants put huge rocks before the cavern entrance. After some days, the noise inside stopped. No need to say, it is how Weg-Zhort lost his once powerful empire: by his own greed. ------------- I think I only miss the cleric level. I suppose that a mummy walled in a cavern for century has only one thing to do: pray...
Magnificate 04-01-04, 02:08 PM	Quite a nice story Morka. Thanks. Now maybe someone will take the challenge of Troll Half-fey? The only thing I'm sure about him is that he wears glasses (murky-eyed flaw) ;)
