You think you are having a good time, but time really is the greatest obstacle in the world to happiness, not only because it makes you take pleasures successively, but also because you are never really happy until you are unconscious of the passing of time.

Pleasure is of the body; joy is of the mind and heart.

Keys From The Golden Vault live from Alakazam Comics in Irvine, CA, continues this week with the Stygian Gambit–a casino heist. This week our second-level heroes – Top Hat (Rogue), Snow in the Mountain (Fighter), Swallow the River (Rogue), Kite in the Sky (Rogue), Missing Fingers (Rogue), and Julie Newmar (Ranger) were joined by new players Grease in the Greasier, Deacon Dupree (Rogue), and Carolus Rex the Eyeless–continue the heist as the casino descends into a lack of fire in Hell!
Carolus Rex the Eyeless (Paladin played by Adam) is based on Scarecrow
Deacon Dupree (Rogue played by Rock) is based on Brother Dupree
Feather on the River (cleric played by Brain) is Killer Croc. It may have been renamed Swallow on the River.
Grease in the Greasier (Barbarian played by Oishi) is Man-Bat
Julie Newmar (ranger played by Lance) is Ra’s al Ghul
Kite in the Sky
Missing Fingers
Snow on the Mountain (fighter played by Lewis) is mentored by Two-Face,
Swallow the River (cleric played by Brian) is a follower of Zoltec, the Crocodile god of death from Chult.
Top Card (rogue played by Glenn) is Cat Women without the slapstickWeird night of D&D. I am planning to take the characters to Innistrad and the whole Magic the Gathering universe at third level — after this heist is over.
Table was crowded, but they seem to be having a good time. I am interested is speeding things up a bit.

Oh, what greater assurance is there in all the world of the mercy of god? Lost sheep, prodigal sons, broken Magdalens, penitent Peters, forgiven thieves! Such is the rosary of Divine forgiveness.

Heaven is a city on a hill, hence we cannot coast into it; we have to climb. Those who are too lazy to mount can miss its capture as well as the evil who refuse to see it.

The only difference between a sinner and a saint is found in their attitude toward their sins–the one persisting in them; the others weep bitterly.

Our personal dispositions are as windowspanes through which we see the world either as rosy or dull. The way we color the glasses we wear is the way the world seems to us.
