A late start, but I agree a good one. NExt session should go much further since all characters are now worked out and I'll start setting up Open RPG about half an hour before.
Plus my son will no longer host our SKYPE so he'll quit disconnecting us when he shuts down his computer.

"Hammer or nail" sums it up pretty good.
I'll have to remember "Its a rule we're so cool!" when you guys meet up with Madam Eva, the Gypsy Queen.

She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell
Cause you were blinded by her light
She could crack your brain
With magic pain
And turn a paler shade of white
(Well) I was on the free
Just me and me
And just about to sail
When I heard the voice
Said you got a choice
The hammer or the nail
You'll be ridin'
You'll be ridin' on the gypsy
Well I rolled the bones
To see who'd own
My mind and what's within
And it's a given rule
That we're all fools
And need to have a little sin
So I'm ridin'
I've been ridin' on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen
She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell
Cause you were blinded by the light
So she cracked my brain
With magic pain
And turned my left around to right, right
So I'm ridin'
Yes I'm ridin'
I'm still ridin' on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen

SIGN OF THE GYPSY QUEEN
Lightning smokes on the hillrise
Brought the man with the warning light
Shouting loud ";you had better fly";
While the darkness can help you hide
Trouble's comin' without control
No one's stayin' that's got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Get my saddle and tie it on
Western wind who is fast and strong
Jump on back, he's good and long
We'll resist till we reach the dawn
Running seems like the best offense
Staying just don't make any sense
No one could ever stop it now
Show the cards of the gypsy town
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Shadows movin' without a sound
>From the hold of the sleepless town
Evil seems to be everywhere
Heed the spirit that brought despair
Trouble's comin' without control
No one's stayin' that's got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go

Treebore, would it be beneficial for us to post our character sheets here or perhaps have a separate thread?
Thanks.

Wulf and Slimy,
I had forgotten how much DIO rocks. Plus it got me to listening to Deep Purple and Rainbow too.

You need to specify what kind of protection the wand gives. Right now I am assuming it is Protection from Evil.

Level title from 1E as Tree mentions. I use them to add a little flavor to C&C. There's some discussion about adding them to the CKG.

I've posted my new house rules to the original "player begging on bended knee" thread. This includes my "Runemark" class for you Rigon.
Please review and let me know of any in game rulings I ever did that I may want to add to this document.
Plus let me know anything that is unclear or you have concerns of being too powerful, etc...
Thanks.

Don't forget some potions of restoration, or a scarab of protection like Rigon has
Call me crazy, I just have this feeling we may need stuff like that

Question for any and all:
If a cleric casts the reverse of restoration ~ life drain, does this work against undead?
Thanks.

I would think that casting a negetive energy spell like life drain would help the undead instead of hurting it.

Nope. Restoration itself would be the antithesis of undead.

The problem is getting your target to hold still for an hour.

Yeah, good point. The cleric would have to knock him out, and at that point a thief or fighter would only have to cut his throat. No need for time-wasting spells like that one.
Although, there's probably some circumstances where this spell could be useful.
Now to ask a related question regarding restoration. A scroll or potion of restoration would work immediately, correct?
