Topic: Escape From Castle Rautenberg
Subject: “Amarikanische Schwein"



“Great, German with a Texas accent!”,Doc mumbled as he dropped the medic kit and reached inside his combat jacket for his 45’s.

"Amerikaner? Wie haben sie ...? AMERIKANERS! !!! AMERIKANERS! !!!"

Without a moments hesitation Romo brought up the .45 and double tapped two rounds into the guards face.......

As the shots rang out one of the guards turned and started to run back across the bridge. Corbin saw him and pulled his rifle up to site on the fleeing guard.

Through the windshield Jack saw the middle guard eye McGuiness and started to lift his G41. “Not on my watch,” Doc roared. The convertible top was down which allowed Doc to rise to his feet. As he stood Doc shouted “Lady get on the floor.”

In one smooth motion Doc rose from his place cradling the dead officer. With a practiced grace he pulling both 45’s. Extending his arms out in front of him, he leveled his aim on the guard eying Corbin and pulled three shots from each 45 in alternating secession.

I don't play the cards either but this just might enough to make me go read up on so I can defend myself.

I'd say if Ody gets tapped then the tapper takes a -2 hit of Old Froth-n-Slosh. There has to be some kind of PUN-ishment.

Sounds like it's time for another edition of Myth Breakers!

And if you don't, well it's time to release the Pun-dit.

Time to Draw upon other forms of humor or Ody's puns, which ever come first, lol.

Subject: Just some thoughts.....


Well just my thought, Corbin wouldn't put his gun in the trunk and I'll bet the Captain would have put a rifle on the floor.

The hand guns were for show.

Doc is stuck in the middle of the back seat so both Corbin and the Captain have to move for him to get out.

So MOVE IT!!!!!

Subject: Bluff, bluff the ...Oh Rats.....


I haven't seen Ye Olde for a while, are we going to NPC him for this action?

Movie screen idea:

Sarg needs to drop the guy with the machine gun.

Brutal can try to drop one of the others with the shotgun.

Captain can bail trying to pop the other with his pistol.

Corbin would not go anywhere without his sniper rifle so maybe he rolls out and tries to drop the escaping guard.

Doc can give the lady one of the German pistols he has to defend herself and he can roll out drawing his 45'sto backup the Captain.

So any other ideas?

Topic: Escape From Castle Rautenberg
Subject: Flashback……


“Amarikanische Schwein"…..that’s going to help me real good, Doc thought. Sarg didn’t have bring their attention on him, but if worked as a distraction then Jack would play the part of the captive, but this didn’t feel like it was going well. Doc knew it was just part of rouse to have Corbin and the hold their Lugers on him but brought back the memory of the last time a Luger was drawn on him……

The 504th PIR was dropped in the vicinity of Gela in Italy, with heavy losses from both the German and Allied (friendly fire) antiaircraft fire. Despite the heavy losses the division was moved up to the front by motor and reinforced by the 39th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division.

Jack had setup a makeshift aid station in a small shack, there were 12 to 15 G.I’s laid out on the floor with serious wounds. These guys were waiting for evac and some may not make to the hospital. Doc had been earning his new title all morning, the men looked to him, the fear and pain on their faces torn at Jack. Corporal Stewart was left to tend these men because he too was wounded. It wasn’t life threatening but it was painful.

Jack had cheated death when a German fighter drawn a sure bead on him as he was parachuting in. He had seen the tracer zip pass him as the fighter started to open fire him. Then the plane exploded, it had been hit by anti aircraft fire, but one of the last bullets fired grazed his side. The searing pain caused him to land hard. He was able to bandage himself, so to despite the pain in his side and legs he start the job he trained to do. He had hid the wound and pushed himself to keep up. When the orders had come to move up with the 39th they discovered his wound and told him that because he too was injured he had to stay to care for the men waiting for the evac. He could rejoin the unit after that, he should also be better healed and rested. So they waited.

At least two of these men Jack carried from the action as shells burst across the field. A young Lieutenant had nearly lost him arm, Jack had sewn him up but it was all he could to control the bleeding, if he didn't get to a surgeon soon, well Jack would keep him comfortable. Jake listened to the pleas of the men to help them as the pain would return when morphine started to wear off. He changes bandages and he helped write letters home,some to families he knew would never see the sender again.

As evening started to close in Jack heard sounds from behind the small build. As he turned to go investigate a German officer step through the back door of one room build. Seeing the wounded and Jack he drew his pistol and open fire on Jack. Doc turned and was hit in his arm and thigh. A bullet grazed his back as he spun. He was knocked to the floor.

Jack reached for his 45 as he fell and was able to clear it from its holster before he hit the floor. The German turned to take aim on the unarmed men in the room. But before he could pull the trigger Jack opened up on him placing two rounds in the officer chest. The officer was nearly lifted off his feet as the slugs roared through him; he was dead before he hit the floor. A movement by the back door caught Jack’s attention, another German soldier had appeared; he was twisting the handle on a “Potato Masher”. Doc swung his 45 toward the door ripping off another three rounds, the first caught the soldier in the face and the back of his head explode as the bullet exited. The grenade dropped from his hands and fell outside the door. With a quick shove Jack forced himself over the G.I. nearest to him as the explosion blow debris into the room. They were all lucky that the shrapnel stayed outside. After checking the men Jack attempted to bandage himself.

Jack was evaced to the field hospital along the men that were left in his care. Jack accepted the Purple Heart with Oak leaf Cluster in stride because it came with the job, but he still didn’t feel that protecting his charges was enough to the earn a Silver Star, that he just sent home to his sister to keep for him…....


Sarg’s movements brought Doc back to the action. Holding the medic’s bag so the Red Cross was in clear view Jack waited for the guards to react.

Topic: The Trilogy War
Subject: Choices.....


The spiders seeing over half their number killed within seconds changed direction to escape. Within micro seconds they disappeared into the darkness of the ceilings shadows hopefully not to be seen again..... Ulthok relaxed, as he scanned the party below him, he saw that they were nearly as covered with spider goo as he was. At least that might keep him from having to suffer their remarks about just deserts.

For a moment the party yet stood ready in case of a return by the spiders but seeing no sign of the last of them for 5 minutes they once more relaxed. With the smoke from the fire nothing but harmless wisps and the spider threat gone they could now go about the business of healing, rest and strategy.

The Elven Enchantress had made her way back to the relative safety of the party. Ulthok scampered down from the wall. With his head hung and shoulder slumped the Halfling made his way to her side. “Oh dear one, I fear I’ve lead you into folly. You have shown me your support and I have repaid you with pain and danger.” Turning his head toward Maggot, “You also followed and I regret it proved a risky decision.” Putting on his best and most sincere face, “I wish our endeavor had proven more successful, but we have learned some valuable information. There is danger in the ceiling and the jungle itself is alive. Perhaps we will find a better way to the Temple.”

Topic: Trilogy War Q/A
Subject: A book of Spells......


The Spell Book is built of the spells listed on the character sheet. I put it together so I'd know what they do and how to cast them. It was easier to put them in one place then to keep going back to the PH. It's now an enhanced character sheet, with spell descriptions, item and potion descriptions.

So if Ulthok finds any more then I'll add those then.

I've played mostly clerics so I have the 3 Priests Spell
Compendiums but not the Wizard's spells. That must be why I could find the Scroll or Potion. I have most of the Specialty Handbooks too (Bard, Barbarian, ect.)

Yikes 30 HP, that spider guts must have been more than just gooy.

BTW there are a couple of Ulthok's items I didn't find.
What is the Scroll of Tattoo and Potion of Master Thievery?

Kyle, if you need a spell description, because you don't have your disc, I'd be glad to PM it to you. I have the 2.0 PH, DMG and Monster Manual in .pdf and /or .doc form so I can copy and paste them for you.

I built my own spell book for this game as part of my character sheet.

I know it's a little late but here's Magic Missiles.

Magic Missile /
Range: 60 yds. + 10 yds./level Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1-5 targets Saving Throw: None

Use of the magic missile spell creates up to five missiles of magical energy that dart forth from the wizard's fingertip and unerringly strike their target. This includes enemy creatures in a melee. The target creature must be seen or otherwise detected to be hit, however, so near-total concealment, such as that offered by arrow slits, can render the spell ineffective. Likewise, the caster must be able to identify the target. He cannot direct a magic missile to "Strike the commander of the legion," unless he can single out the commander from the rest of the soldiers. Specific parts of a creature cannot be singled out. Inanimate objects (locks, etc.) cannot be damaged by the spell, and any attempt to do so wastes the missiles to no effect. Against creatures, each missile inflicts 1d4+1 points of damage. For every two extra levels of experience, the wizard gains an additional missile--he has two at 3rd level, three at 5th level, four at 7th level, etc., up to a total of five missiles at 9th level. If the wizard has multiple missile capability, he can have them strike a single target creature or several creatures, as desired.

A swelling of satisfaction flooded through Ulthok as the realization that the fire was winking out. Standing there, his arms still outstretched, the Halfling awaited the accolade and praise that would surely now descend on him. He would bask in that wave of glory.

Then in the blink of an eye he was covered, not in praise but in wet ooze. Something had fallen from the cavern ceiling and smashed next to him. Random parts of a giant spider were scattered across the jungles edge. The bulky husk of the creature’s abdomen lay only a few feet away were it had hit the hard stony breech that lay between the cavern wall and the jungle. “Great googoly moogoly” Ulthok moaned, “will no good deed ever go unpunished?”

Wiping the mess from his face the Mage looked up to see from where the great spider had come. To his horror there descending from the ceiling were a great number of giant spiders . “Will the fun never end,” he mumbled to himself. “Look up” he shouted. “We’re being attacked, spider!!!!”

Reaching into his pack the Mage pulled out his Slippers of Spider Climbing. Quickly he slide off his boots, stuffing then in the pack and put on the slippers.

Ulthok raced to the cavern wall and scamper up about twenty feet above the landing. From there it gave him a good angle of attack against the descending spiders. He spied a cluster of five spiders, “Maybe I can get them all”,he mused. Then while clinging securely to the wall the diminutive mage once again stretched out his arm, leveling his hand on the cluster and focused on the spiders. He commanded, “Strike”.

In an instant he unleashed a barrage of five magic missiles toward the five descending spiders. As the missiles shot across the void toward the spiders, Ulthok whispered, “Oh Uncle Trapspring let my aim be true!”

Subject: Main Street Blues..........


“Miss Ernestina…………. Ernestina May”…….Asher gently but firmly nudged the sleeping maiden that had so warmly filled his evening. “Miss Ernestina, you really need to get up, I don’t mean to be rude, but there something happening out there and I need to go find out what’s it is?”

Ernestina May’s eyes fluttered open and as she focuses on Asher’s face, she smiles playfully and reached up to pull him back down to her. “Ernestina May, please I need to go and help. ” Asher pleaded.

Her eyes narrowed and she pushed Ash away. Flinging the sheet off of her, Ernestina May stood slowly, squaring her shoulders to expose her ample treats. “Well if you’d rather go play in the street, “she said. Ash had to turn his head, if he didn’t he’d never leave that room tonight. Ernestina dressed, almost as temptingly as she had done getting undressed. Ash had never noticed that women put their stockings on first and did they always have to lift their legs so high to pull them smooth? Ernestina May giggled as she heard Asher whimpered as he turned to finish pulling on his jeans.

Ash strapped his combat knife, that had been lying on the floor, above his right ankle before he slide on his boots. His could feel the pocket knife and brass knuckles that were still in his pocket.

“The back stairs might be the safest for you if there’s trouble in the street, “ Ash said over his shoulder. After dressing, Ash opened the closet door. There sat the athletic bag he’d pack that day they left the Roc to handle the trouble at the bank. With practiced hands he opened the bag and lifted out the thigh holsters.

Ernestina May watched as Ash smoothly wrapper the belt around his waist, then pulling and strapping the holsters to his muscular legs. A wistful sigh escaped her lips as she admired his firm backside when Ash bent over to tighten the holsters. She finished dressing and glided out of small room Ash given. This was small but tidy hotel and it was located not too far up the street from the town’s jail. “You be careful out there,” she whispered as she closed the door behind her.

Ash sensed Ernestina May leave but now he was focused on the real girls in his life. The shining Python 6 GLs slide into their familiar places. Next he pulled the light weight shoulder holsters from the bag. Quickly he positioned it over his shoulders and tightened them securely. The twin PK 12 Peacekeepers nestled tenderly under his arms. Extra magazines of ammo were placed on the straps of all the holsters for quick and easy access. The holsters had been custom fitted to Ash’s body and they did fit him so well.

Grabbing his long duster off the hook in the closet Asher slipping it on and pulled snugly so as to hide his guns yet allowed for quick access. He turned and headed across the room, taking his hat from the dresser. He opened the door and turned down the hall toward the front stairs.

Using the banisters to support him, he took the stairs two at a time as he rushed down the two flights to the small lobby. Ash nodded to the night clerk as he opened the front door to step out into the street. Ash didn’t notice the knowing grin on the clerk face, the clerk had heard the young lady hurrying down the back stairs and the squeak when the back door close.

It took Asher a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the dark of street as he step cautiously from the lobby. He scanned up and down the street for a sign of from where the gun shots had been fired.

Hey, hey, when push comes to shove, in either game, the healers' got your back, even Brutal's.

It hasn't come out, but Doc's up for Silver Star for action in Northern Italy. The wounds he took protecting the wounded with only his 45's has him up for one of the first to be issued. So when your back is against the wall, look for Doc with a 45 in his hand. Nobody messes with his charges but him!

Yep, yep I see the brother relationship not changing. it's just that background tension. Just movie stuff.

BTW would Asher know that Luke shot Chad in the back? They brought back the body but was that made common knowledge or is that an area I can run wild. It could lead to some interesting feelings. Why kill a guy when you can just knock him down by shooting him in leg.

I'm still stumbling a bit but I've got some ideas to try, so stay tuned. Most of you are getting use to my insecurity in my writing, you see it in my Q&A's as I'm groping for direction. But I'm inspired by all of you and I will "Blindly Go Where No One Has Gone Before", was that right?

I had a good it time writing with you in Crimson Crusaders, too bad the game is fizzling. This game is easy, Al really guides things nicely and interplay story has been fun. Ye Olde has cornered the "bad ass" market, but your character can really take any direction you want. So just jump in and see where it goes.

Just thought, you might try some back posts to flesh out your guy, get some story time or not.

Subject: Ashyson?


Ok, the first post is up. I'll try to do better to stay with the story line, but I was just trying to make Asher mine. There could have been some more but it was getting late and I started to fuzz out. I'm feeling a bit of a plot twist that never came out much before. I feel Ash has a much greater hatred toward Alliance Pilots. The relationship between him and Sam has been close to a brother thing, but I see Ash having a real issue if he ever finds out Sam was an Alliance pilot. I think this time planet-side will stir those memories of his mother and brothers being vaporized in his home. I'm seeing him being more vocal. I think Wyatt will see it and Sam is going feel it. The Kid will be sweet, but I see this being his dark side. Well that's just a feeling now, it may change, but it may not.

Now I would guess that when the spider splattered the party looks up and sees the spiders starting to drop or are they still too high to see?

I would think that the group on the shelf might be spreading a warning too.

Say, has anyone seem Eol? Ulthok really needs a sloppy face lick, yum!
