Re: 1879: The Expendables - McFly's Journal
With the party back in full force, we attempted to open the next sarcophagus. I failed to convince my party that I could build a suitable lid-lifting system and they impulsively went with the troll lifting it by hand. This did not end well. The lady mummy that inevitably resided in the sarcophagus a...

Re: 1879: The Expendables - McFly's Journal
The most capable melee fighter among us, a troll with military experience, decided to take a personal day while the rest of us checked the boxes and sarcophagi in this room. This could have been quite beneficial. Ancient ruins often contain valuable treasures that could be sold for useful materials....

Re: 1879: The Expendables
As we approached the next doorway full of unknown dangers, we encountered a new problem. Some discourteous animal had decided to die right next to the door on the opposite side, blocking our passage. While we could get it slightly ajar, enough for three of us to squeeze through, our resident troll w...

1879: The Expendables - McFly's Journal
In the interest of not getting bitten or clawed to death, my newest project would be a shield. Not a shield like my deployable Honeycomb, but a physical shield I could strap to my forearm. Since the photographically-inclined hunter had set aside a number of crocodile skins for such a thing, I began ...

Re: 1879: The Expendables
It's even more amusing if you imagine McFly's Irish accent while reading his journal. At least, it's more amusing to WRITE it if I imagine the accent.

Dr. Ferris McFly's Journal
One of these days I should really learn the names of my fellow party members. Up to this point, I have been referring to them as “god enthusiast,” “machete troll,” “naked spell lady” and “photograph hunter.” Scratch that, their real names could not be better than those descriptions. Still wondering ...

Re: 1879: The Expendables
Well, his backstory is that he got run out of Ireland when one of his experiments went sideways. But I've committed myself to infusing his story with as many '80s references as possible. It was the first thing that came to mind when I originally saw Weird Scientist as a character class and I'm prett...

1879: The Expendables - McFly's Journal
We finally arrived in a rural town, presumably free of crocodiles. I set about getting more information on other creatures that might try to eat me. The locals told me of large cats, venomous snakes and some strange upright lizards. I feel like I should have been crafting more armor and less earthen...

1879: The Expendables
I'll just leave my weird scientist's up-to-date journal here. I know this is kind of an info dump, but I just realized we had this convenient forum. Yippee! Dr. Ferris McFly’s Fantastic Beasts and How to Avoid Them I received a letter from a Rupert Hastings asking me to dinner. Probably trying to ge...
