Zappo the Wondrous is an NPC from my current campaign, a 3rd level Magic-User the party recently rescued from the depths of Stonehell Dungeon. He has an interesting background and a slightly unusual spell selection, so I thought I would share him with you as the conclusion of my April A-Z Blog Post Challenge.

I've been waiting for your Z post. Hey, I'm on night shift, trying to half sleep in the day, the family are away, what else would I be doing. The dishes, crap.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Stickfoot, is it a type of pudding, like Sticky Date Pudding only made of halfling feet?
Congratulations on the AtoZ completion.
Spawn, are you going to post something soon?
Carter, we did it! Congratulations! I have an award for you!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Mr. Priest, I do plan to get back into the fray on Sunday with a post that touches on two things about clerics, 1) that I hate the default image of cleric as Christian monks or crusaders, and 2) how a spell like Holy Chant might actually work to inspire people that are fighting. I've partly been laying off so Carter could do the A-Z Challenge, but I've also been crushed in the jaws of a dissertation these days.
