Boss Monsters

Tonight was my D+D game, where the party cleansed the village, located (but didn't yet retrieve) the knowledge Oghma had asked for, and acquired the dragon's tooth they needed to get (Abbey, May and Conner) home. They're almost there.

I think everyone had fun tonight. The swoop in battle I thought went particularly well, as it went badly enough not to be trivial without actually failing. The fight against the stone golems was pretty scary -- I'd expected them to figure out the amulets pretty much instantly and never fight that fight, so as a punishment it was a little harder than I usually set against them. Which ended up making it just about right as a 'boss fight' combined with stopping the elemental.

When I got home, I was spooked beyond all reason by a strange light from my bedroom, which turned out to be the Blue Screen of Death. My old 98 machine has had a few too many things installed and uninstalled, and sometimes forgets how to shut down properly, and sometimes I don't notice. I don't know why it was such a creepy thing to come home to, though.

Ahhhh!

I've been given homework! A huge 800-page monster book that, according to the ex-CEO of our company, as quoted on the cover, is required reading for all employees.

I wonder if there'll be a test.
