We've had a great last few days. It started with my younger brother arriving Friday night after a work conference the previous few days in San Francisco. We picked up ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nezumiko and went for Japanese/sushi for dinner, then came back to our place and hung out for a while. Kiddo spent the night on the futon with a couple of our indoor cats.
Saturday was - amazingly - bright and sunny and fairly warm. He took a look at our can't-be-turned-on lawnmower, replaced the spark plug, and exhorted me to get a new container of fuel plus some fuel stabilizer. We went for a walk around the neighborhood so he could enjoy the lovely January sun and warmth, had lunch, and then went to see Sherlock Holmes with nezumiko , which was fun. I found the plot kind of silly but pretty well constructed, and really enjoyed the interplay among Holmes, Watson, and Irene. Any chemists out there who could tell me whether the science-ish explanation of How It Was All Done made sense? (I do know that Holmes must have gotten his hands on a Rod of Lightning Bolt, 'cuz ain't no way you're getting three zaps out of a standard piece of metal after only one charge!) We went back, chilled, had dinner, and I took Kiddo to the airport for his overnight flight.
Today I went to church in the morning, and then our D&D group met at our house. The session was remarkably streamlined, as we had four (count 'em, four) combat encounters, where we've normally had two at best. And boy, did we whup some goblin backside! We've recovered the bulk of the gold that the goblins had, plus a handful more, and a handful of magic items. Now we need someone short who can wear nice magicked chainmail (better than 'standard' +1 stuff), and someone who can use a nice magicked battleaxe (also nicer than +1). And we killed a lot of goblins, including getting the goblin king to surrender (after whacking on him for a while) and the goblin high priest (whom the king was willing to trick into the room, allowing us to kill him, in exchange for his and his favorites' freedom).
After the session, we went out to dinner with our GM cerebralpaladin , his wife orichalcum , and their two boys, which was also pleasant. We are now, however, entirely ready to be quiet for a while and then head to bed. Yay weekend! |
