The Magic Mushroom is open for business. This is a great way to get some (or all) of your shopping done pre-game. Thanks for the idea Clay.

A HUGE thanks to Clay (without your truck the hill would have killed us all!!), Jon and Jim for helping me move. You guys didn't have to but you did and it was much appreciated!

Possessed Weaponry
Roughly two hundred years ago the Arch-Mage Tresmetheous produced several dozen weapons possessed predominately with various demons and devils though a few contained elementals. As one might guess Tresmetheous specialized in summoning and binding beings to his control. As these types of stories often go, it was one such summoning that was his undoing. No one knows if he had made some mistake in the containment circle or perhaps it was a slip in the summoning itself that attracted something of great power. All that remains of Tresmetheous' huge castle are crumbling, scorched walls and a debris field that stretches a quarter mile.
The possessed weapons come in many different varieties but all are marked with deeply cut red glowing runes. Powers of the weapons also vary based on the type of entity trapped within. These entities are bound to the weapons for 99 years. When the 99 years are up they are released and have free will. Once the blade is empty it reverts to a +1 weapon. In its empty state it can again be the vessel of an extra planar being if it makes the killing blow against such a being. When this happens the being is prevented from returning to its plane, its essence sucked into the weapon if it fails a save vs. RSW at a -6. The sword mimics the conduit by which the beings essence would return to its native plane and is therefore not subject to a magic resistance roll. At this time the weapon will exhibit new magical powers drawn from the being within.
Several of these weapons survive to this day in the possession of various adventures or well guarded treasure troves. It is rumored that Ke' Leorn of Ascutholl holds such a weapon and there is a certain devil counting the days until its inevitable release. Its hatred boils like molten lava pouring into a subterranean ocean, compounded by each year of its imprisonment.

Game On 2/4
We will continue our delve in the Bone Maw this Monday at 6:00 p.m. Be there if you dare... Please post a reply if your coming (or not).
..."in other news Yagrax's tome claimed another victim today. An unsuspecting paladin of Kiaranasalee touched the cursed book only to be blasted from existence. ....On the home front the armies of Jubilex marched on the Palace of the Damned only to be repulsed by thirteen legions of Bone Devils led by Dispator himself"... Exert from the NNN (Nessus News Network) broadcast...
Prelude to The Bone Maw (for those who were absent)
You awaken dazed, your head pounding and your breath shallow. You hear the muffled sounds of under common from somewhere out in the darkness. You struggle as you find yourself bound with a leather hood covering your head. Your hot breath mingles with the strong smell of leather. Your struggles gain you another whack on the head and you slip from consciousness again.
Your eyes burn from the torchlight that illuminates a vast chamber as you are jerked from oblivion again. Riches beyond belief are piled about what looks like an ancient thrown room or worship chamber. Eighty foot tall columns support a vaulted ceiling carved with a honeycomb of triangular openings. Curled amidst the gold and jewels is a huge black dragon. It is impossibly slender almost as if it were a great black winged snake. You are still bound at the hands and feet and you are being held on your knees by two incredibly strong bugbears. A gong is sounded somewhere to your left that rouses the serpent. As it raises its head two large flaps spread out on either side of its head as if it were some cross between a king cobra and a black dragon. A forked tong flicks at the air and in a raspy voice it says, “LiosLiath you have practiced your trade in my city for too long without giving me my due. You will join the guild of the serpent and you will give me ten percent of all of your earnings while in Ascutholl. You will do this or you will die. I will have your answer now.” “Good. You have shown remarkably good judgment and in return you will be allowed to live. However, I require a service. You will go to the Bone Maw and return with treasure totaling no less than ten thousand gold. This will be my compensation for your previous insults. You should know better than to work in a town without paying the guild. You are lucky that I am in a gracious mood today.” “You may go.”

Why Sign up?
Why should you sign up for the game? The best answer is FOOD. When everyone signs up that is coming we know how much food to prepare. Currently we just make a ton and hope people show up to eat it. This has been working lately due to the good turnout of people.
Another reason is that from time to time I like to write in various party members into the adventure. Yet another reason is for adventure planning purposes.
Please take the time to post up a, yes i'm coming or a no I can't make it.

Happy New Year!
I am certainly paying for all of the fun I had last night. The last half of the evening is a blur. I don't think I will be drinking again for a few months...
I hope everyone made it home ok.
