The rest of my weekend

So, I put the brief review of the horrid Blade movie first, so it'd be at the bottom. Cause I didn't want ya to have to read about that ass before reading the good bits of the weekend.

First, we'll start at Friday. Some sweet ass D&D. Brucilus got promoted to Sky Captain and was awarded a Red Badge of Courage for valor and taking injury in combat. As such, he's privvy to advanced healing and won't be out of comission as long.

Upon the return of the original air wings attached to the army we're with, they challenged the heros to some Texas Hold 'Em. Tren and Ollie played for our team, versus Tani Brasstags the leader, and Bomph, a one-eyed 1/2 orc cleric of Kord on the other side. Bomph, played by Nick went out purty quick, partly due to playing pretty shitty. Sorry Nick, but it's true. Ollie got a pretty good lead, but Tani managed to whittle a good pile away, and in the end went all in and won with a full house (three aces, two 8s).

Then, since it was so early, we decided to hop into Nick's adventure. Tren, Ollie and the newly recruited G-leaf had to fly overnight to rescue a couple of spies. Along the way, a young copper dragon bugged the piss out of us, but G-leaf's insanity sent the plucky chap off after a black dragon. C Dragon might have been a little pissed to learn it was an illusion, but G-leaf didn't know that.

Upon arriving at our destination, we were set upon by a couple of mounted wyverns. A quick sting to Ollie's mount sent him to the ground with a nearly dead hippogriff. Tren landed to support him and the two of those went berserker arrow on the bastard, eventually taking it down. In the meantime, G-leaf went flying after the other wyvern, which had located our endangered spies. A flurry of flaming sling bullets, a couple of decent diving hippogriff attacks, some MAJOR distraction by a couple summoned giant eagles, and one slash from Tren's mount near the end netted another dead wyvern, but not before it managed to kill one of the spies, and almost lay out the other. (I personally think the other was toast, but Nick kept him alive to keep the adventure going....like a good DM should).

Tren takes the poisoned spy back to camp, while Ollie and G-leaf heal Ollie's mount, intent on returning the next day. However, a huge fucking storm erupts across the continent and it takes us 4 days to get back. Once there, we discover the storm is a massive spell summoned by the bad guys to ground our air force and disrupt some of our magic, and somehow, they managed to break our encoded telepathic communications, laying bare the plans of our armies and allies...

So, we set forth to remedy that. On the way, we got jumped by some Yuan-ti, but General G-leaf's army laid some smacketh down...only to discover that they Yuan-ti were really just illusioned orcs or something, cause we fucked em up fast. And then the DM was tired.

So, last night, we were gonna catch Blade, then hit Ground Zero, a local goth club for some hardcore B&N rocking. But, Blade sucked my will to do anything, and Wendy hated people when she got home. So, more Texas Hold 'Em. I won again, with a straight, this time, I think...or maybe another full house.... *shrug*

Anyway, it was a good weekend, and if you read this Monty, sorry...it's my fault we didn't make it to Ground Zero.

Today I wrapped it up with football at Phil's, ending the night with the new MK....Deception I think. Bad Ass game.
