The link above is a pretty nice site > you get frequent emails about newly released special edition bourbons, whiskey, scotch, etc. Some are really pricy, but others are quite affordable. Gives you a chance to see what's coming out and might be in your area, and if not, you can order it.

[KingOfCowards]

Hmmm...All three current expeditions are led by 1st level elves. Conspiracy theorists are on high alarm.

[OGRE MAGE]

May the rest turn out better than the first!

[Keehnelf]

Congratulations to the Dwarf-Tomb Team! 2 dead, 2 critically injured, 2 injured and one healthy and whole

At least one of the conscious ones is a cleric, which makes the current predicament a LOT less dangerous than it would be otherwise...

[Mister-Kent]

Holy Veles, that was scary!

[Zhym]

Ghouls: Give us your elf. We want to eat him
Us: No. Get your own elf.
[Ghouls being to tear into everyone, dropping bodies left and right. Hazarding fire and dismemberment, so intent are they on their meal. Eventually the elf is dragged down and eaten, his life extinguished.]
Ghouls: Munch, crunch, num, num...A perfect last meal, we can finally be at rest.
Buryl: You could have just asked nicely. I would have given you the elf if you would have told us you would be committing suicide afterwards.

I laughed.

[Keehnelf]

Me too

[OGRE MAGE]

Me three.

[hedgeknight]

Freakin' incredible!! Loved every bone-crunching, face-munching second of it!! The dice gods were against, and even our own gods, but we somehow manages to pull our own...fat out of the fire

I swear it's a meritocracy--it's just that elves are naturally better.

[Zhym]

They must taste better.

[Marullus]

Harold cringes as his companions continue to poke at a metaphorical hornet's nest.

...I think you meant literal, not metaphorical.

[Zhym]

Harold would be happy if it were only a literal hornet's nest.

ETA: Well, what do you know. That'll teach me to read the expedition thread first.

[sulldawga]

Me three.

Me fo... wait a second.

West Marches Threat Assessment (as reported by the all-seeing ghost of Thisby Queller)

Threat Level Alpha
(Petrifying?) Dragon
Goblin Army (Armies?)
Black Smoke aka "Njord Svarld"

Threat Level Beta
Mangore
Tree-Witch
Seesil

Pretty preliminary, I confess. Mangore did drop a little in my estimation after the last appearance, but for all I know Seesil is THE DARK LORD. I'm sure there's lots of other terrible stuff out there, and we won't know it 'til it kills us...

[Zhym]

The petrifying dragon didn't burn the remnants of a dwarf clan out of their home or lead to Lars's death. Mangore is still threat #1 as far as I'm concerned.

[Mister-Kent]

Oh pish posh, Zhym. Manny's not bad. You just haven't tried his Kool-Aid

[Zhym]

Yeah, he's just a big friendly puppy, that one.

[Mister-Kent]

I'm actually really curious now about visiting that arboreal-enchantress, and even Seesil (but not without a Level 10 party that can smite him into oblivion if he tries that freaky magic-roofie spell again!)

[Keehnelf]

I hope it's not a spoiler to indicate that the black wolf's intelligence makes him a more formidable threat than his probable actual power level.

And that, in my opinion, makes him more dangerous than the goblins in the short term because it's a little unpredictable. Of course, one can make the same argument about Seesil the Only-Once-Appearing in spades.
