beansideAs usual after D&D, I slept like a log. I woke up at 7, and laid there til 7:45 before dragging myself out of bed, and wow, I fucking hurt today.
I think it's from taking Dad to the doctor. It went much more smoothly than I worried, but still involved lifting the wheelchair in and out of the car and pushing him in said wheelchair. Today, my shoulders, back and left knee are screaming. It should make the Amish Market interesting. We decided on the wheelchair because the doctor only has a folding chair in her tiny exam room, and there was no way in hell he'd be able to get up from that. I scraped a few walls with the wheelchair, but overall, it went well. There was no one else in the office, which was nice. And now we get virtual visits for the next six months before we have to go back. I do have to take him for bloodwork next Friday, but that isn't as stressful now that we've had one successful trip.
Once i got home and had taken his pills up to the pharmacy so my sister could pick them up on her way home, we continued our streak of watching shitty movies. Yesterday, it was a Uwe Boll "classic." In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale wants to be Lord of the Rings so very badly. It's lifted shots directly from the Two Towers, and the evil "Krug" are Orc and Uruk Hai rip offs. Somehow, he got practically every C list actor to be in it. Leading our merry band is Jason Statham being Jason Statham. Next up is Ron Perlman, who is in a much better movie. Then, we have Ray Liotta, who is enjoying the scenery very much. Rounding it out are John Rhys Davies (because apparently, we needed a LotR actor), Leelee Sobieski, Matthew Lillard and Burt Reynolds. All pretty talented actors, doing their best to make this movie far better than it has any right to be. Special props to Matthew Lillard who is also chewing scenery like a motherfucker. We're about halfway through, and I'm not sure why we're not three quarters of the way through with how the plot is going. I'm really not sure what's left for our heroes to do.
All in all, it was a good lead up for D&D night. Our intrepid heroes faced the evil wizard Avarice, going directly for combat, because fuck diplomacy. Avarice had some spells that the party was Not Ready For and a staff of frost. Fireball was cast! Our sorcerer went down (unconscious, not dead)! The barbarian got ragey and came in and bisected the wizard before she could cast something really nasty! Armed with a whole lot of loot and hurting, the murder muppets cleared out the last of the cultists. They looted the place of anything vaguely valuable, and headed back to town, leaving the townsfolk to deal with the pile of corpses that littered the place, before heading to the town inn to stay the night. We broke there, to level up the characters, who are now 4th level!
Today, MotW!
