I made the off-hand decision that he would have some lesser elementals tooling around the place.<br /><br />And then, when the PCs kicked down the door, I found myself saying, "... sheets of malevolent flame dancing around hearts of molten magma." When the elementals died, they left behind smoldering, blackened pyrites. If they were struck with cold-based spells, their magma hearts had a percentile chance of exploding from the sudden contraction (killing the elementals but peppering the room with shrapnel).<br /><br />So that was a little bit of found coolness that your post inspired me to share.Justin Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227895898395353754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-37495869451334557132010-05-04T21:47:23.107+01:002010-05-04T21:47:23.107+01:00*cackles* Welcome to the fold ;3*cackles* Welcome to the fold ;3taicharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213053468697534564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-21344314606977963412010-05-04T18:23:53.154+01:002010-05-04T18:23:53.154+01:00Bad ass!Bad ass!Ragnorakkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812860633134547618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-41879747272219373212010-05-04T12:49:34.207+01:002010-05-04T12:49:34.207+01:00*Copy*

However, I can say it looks like fantastic work and almost exactly the approach I was going to take (you fiend!). <br /><br />I really think elementals deserve to be accorded the same kind of obsessive imaginitive attention to detail accorded to demons. Neutral extraplanar entities are interesting too and should not be bland by default.<br /><br />Thank you.Tom Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893168729760333884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-389702963588062352010-05-04T03:27:37.275+01:002010-05-04T03:27:37.275+01:00Excellent.

Thanks! And made me think of this: Martin Amis, writing about some people who'd narrowly escaped engine failure on an airplane:<br /><br />"They were getting nearer to their own thing, the ground, the earth. Not scored and seared by another thing, the fire, not covered and swallowed by another thing, the water, not plucked apart by another thing, the air."Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-63052101720114254502010-05-03T21:17:23.915+01:002010-05-03T21:17:23.915+01:00Awesome.Awesome.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.com
