Using the light from their various torches and magics, Marlon and Volkon lead the way.
Soon, the walls, ceiling and floor of the tunnel get narrower, rougher and more naturally formed. This just confirming what everyone was thinking…
They'd chosen the wrong path, giving the Death-worshippers and Dark-elves an uncontested path back to the dragon skull.
That, at least, won’t be an issue though. The Skull is broken and some its teeth safely reside in Bastien’s Knapsack and the magical backpack; Issack’s innards.
Sereena’s the first to object to their
direction.
“By Vecna’s guts, There's shit all over the
floor!”
Demitasse tries the placate her.
“Don’t worry, we’re all in this together.”
Sereena scowls.
“We may ‘all be in this together’ but while
you’re wearing armoured boots, I’m just wearing silk slippers… Ruined silk
slippers!”
Marlon peers back over his shoulder.
“At least it’s only on your slippers.
Imagine if you were covered head to toe in it?”
…
It’s about twenty minutes later that
Sereena’s squatting in a corner, trying to comb rancid, liquid excrement out of
her long, raven hair. Her expensive clothes and jewellery are caked in foul brown
filth.
Flicking away several fat, lazy, black
flies buzzing around her head, Sereena glares at Marlon.
“You just had to tempt fate didn’t you? You
big doofus!”
On the up side, the Party did get a ‘shower’ of
magical items from the three adventurer bodies you pulled out from the offal
and tentaclular grip of the Otyugs.
Treasure:
The Three Dead adventures.
Skeletons of dead adventurers but still
wearing their colourful finery and majorly setting off: ‘Detect magic’.
Human Barbarian:
A silver Great Axe
An adamantine Ring
A pair of incredibly soft leather Gloves
A Potion
Human Magic user:
A black Wand decorated with interwoven,
fine silver lines
A small Scarlet & Blue stone
A platinum Ring
A silver dagger
A Potion
Elven Thief:
A matt black Chain shirt
A matt black Chain shirt
An eerily glowing Short sword
20 silver Arrows
A translucent Ring
A Potion
They also had coins to a value of:
4 x Rubies worth 500gp each, 280pp, 1,232gp, 358sp and 261cp
Still more to come…
Kirk thanks for the massive effort you continue to put into this game. It really does go beyond any duty!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm feeling petulant and just want to say the chances of there being anything for Volkon are minimal at best. I think you are just creating magic for the henchies!
Work avoidance rather than massive effort.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, most magical items supplied seemed destined for ye old magic shoppe.
Loads of money but little adventuring use.
Anything any of you would particularly like?
This posts header made me laugh, due to the hidden word.

what hidden word?
ReplyDelete>> Anything any of you would particularly like?
better AC (maybe through more dex or a protection ring), more strength, more speed! And - maybe even some more charisma - who knows, maybe I'll do some negotiating!
At least one of those things listed is there...
ReplyDelete:)
Its the charisma, isn't it
