I've been really slacking on posting campaign updates. I hope to do so in depth at some point, but just to catch you up to speed: the party finally finished the Showdown in the Upper Temple of Orcus, explored the dungeon a bit more, and, yes, decided to go down the infamous well (they are still exploring down there).
Back when we first started the Showdown, Rob took a view videos. I figured I might as well share them. They aren't the most action packed, and dear lord, do I sound like a tool, but, hey, what the hell? The party had just entered the temple via a magical secret backdoor. Dave's Roxxxor the Chaotic Awesome half-orge barbarian was still alive and had taken the platform above the lava. You can hear his theme music in the background. For those of you playing along at home, he bit it in the next session, being pushed into said lava.
The videos start with the party wizard, played by Sam, fireballing some priests of Orcus and their thug guards. I'm rolling their saves, saying "ash" for those that were incinerated. I think Sam is the one simulating the screams of the burning priests. Oh, and you can hear me bemoaning the players working the neutral alignment loophole to the bone (i.e., they avoid a lot of penalties in Rappan Athuk because they aren't goodly aligned). Yeah, hot D&D action at its finest. Suffice it to say, D&D is much more fun to play than watch.
Oh, I tend to swear a lot when I DM, so be warned.
