“So…what’d you do to the army?”
“Dropped the ceiling on top of them, to keep them from fleeing. Then dropped the floor from under them, so they rode it—as the filling in a floor-ceiling pie—down into Long Tapestry Hall.”

“Which has crimson carpeting, so it’ll hide a lot of the blood.”
“Indeed. Much of being a courtier is seeing to the little details. Now let’s get going. Eventually some other invaders will come to investigate all the noise.”

“Eventually? Are they all incompetent?”
“Not all. Most, but the shining few consort with prudence more closely and often than I do. Possibly as a survival tactic.”
“Ah. Floor and ceiling already fallen, so can’t shatter THEM.”

“You’d better never run out of magic, Wolf.”
“Your regal grasp of the blindingly obvious will see us all safe to our graves, Elvar.”

tell us more about Sune adventuring clerics. Something about hierarchy and so on. I started to play as aasimar sune cleric and found lack of information disturbing. Thanks!
1)
The Realms sourcebook FAITHS AND PANTHEONS (particularly p66) details what Sune’s clergy must and should do, to combat vandalism and create, protect, and promote art and the creation of new things of beauty.

2)
On a personal level, this usually manifests as a Sunite adventuring cleric acquiring beautiful icons, statuettes, jewelry, and other portable works of beautiful art, and gifting them to Sunite shrines and temples, and to folk…

“Insulting outrages are the best kind, Elvar. They’re giving you the very best.”
“They are?”
“Yes. Now, if you could just select the BEST place for us to sleep…”
“You’re manipulating me!”

“At the risk of sounding repetitious: courtier, remember?”
“Yes, but I’m TIRED of you. Bring me new courtiers!”
“Right after we defeat the invaders and restore the kingdom, Your Majesty.”
“So I must wait?”

“I fear so.”
“Well, three days? Four? You don’t KNOW?”
“The gods hide things from us all, Sire.”
“Well, get me new gods, then! And leap to it! Don’t stand there gawping at me! Bah, it won’t DO, I tell you!”

any interesting #realmslore about darts, shurikens, any throwable types of weapons? I dont see much about them.
1)
Throwing knives (carried in concealment, but handy-sheathed up wrists and down boots and backs of necks, mounted on chokers) are very much a thing in the Realms, but TSR de-emphasized them in print to avoid real-life…

…tragedies (kid gamers getting hurt). Shuriken (in the Realms, “stars of death” [originally “deathstars,” but since Lucas later but so famously used the term, we can’t call them that any longer] are weapons in Semphar and…

Hi Ed... I have a question only you can answer-are Red Wizards of Thay still creating and maintaining their enclaves after their civil war? If yes what they are selling now-fresh health potions from your friendly necromancer doesn't sound right
1)
No new Thayan enclaves have been created for some time, and many have been abandoned by Thayan traders (usually, being valuable urban real estate, they get converted into housing, with Thayan caretakers…
#Realmslore

…collecting the rents, and maintaining some lodgings and modest cargo warehousing and stables facilities for visiting Thayan traders).
Thay remains a bulk exporter of glass vessels (mainly bottles), perfumes, cooking oils, …

Right now we are on hiatus to let another DM run his game, but my game set in Forgotten Realms is turning out to be a favorite of our group. Right now I am having several Chosen of Mystra having the party go
...out and craft powerful magic items. The whole point of this campaign is to craft legendary magic items that haven't been seen on the Sword Coast in ages. Each player is crafting a different item tailored to that character. I am having them gather items of extraordinary...
...natures that when combined create the magic items. Each chosen of Mystra hands them a list that updates as they collect each item and once they have all the items, it tells them where to go to craft the item. So far, I have used the primordial forge in Gauntlgrim...

“Day is almost done,” Wolf observes, “so we’ll either spend the night in this passage, hoping nothing prowls it and no enemy soldiers patrol it, or find somewhere else. Elvar, how about the withdrawing room, on the far side…

…of yon door?”
“Was that the one with the purple tapestries?”
“It WAS, yes. It may look different now.”
“Doesn’t matter. Too small, too drafty, too COMMON.”

Palonder looks at Chant, then murmurs in her ear, “Has he lost his wits? Or is it temper tantrum time?”
“Oh, no, he’s MUCH noisier when he does those things. Right now, he’s merely being a king. They’re notoriously picky.”
