Here’s how this will work. You may fight up to three rounds (stop whenever you like). Describe your battle. Add flourishes, etc. If you take a “Wound” three times, you will need Surgery (or die). Take one or two Wounds, you are fine (no mechanical disadvantage). After combat is over, as long as you ...

You back into the mine entrance. The wood elves are still frozen. Grymthor and his men fight alongside you, but they are clearly outclassed. Here’s how this will work. There are twelve ‘gold golems.’ You may each fight up to three rounds (stop whenever you like; you may hide instead of attack). Desc...

While some are distracted examining the frozen figures, the locked chest, etc., and some stay as guards, a few of you venture forward down the rear tunnel. It indeed ascends. After a time, the noise you heard earlier gets louder, and you realize it’s the sound of battle. Shortly after, you come acro...

The forest girl’s eyes go wide when she sees the coin. She watches the ritual performed by 'Abaddon the elf', and when he approaches her, she flinches and swings her bow around. “Stay back. Was it you? Did you make the coins? If so, why try and remove their curse now? Was that a trick?” She pauses, ...

When Abaddon disperses the illusion, the propped-up hostages suddenly appear for what they are: mannequins made of sticks and straw. Nothing more. When his next spell freezes the bandits as well, several things happen: As you investigate the coin, Lhaewan does not return form the woods, and Galadhor...

The elevator descends nearly 200 feet into the dark. At the bottom you light your torches to see a large underground tunnel going both ways, with some rusty rail track on the ground, though no carts are present. Cirrus (and anyone else who wishes to go with her) scouts ahead, reporting back that the...

[I apologize for taking a few liberties here to move the plot along, but I think this will synergize everyone’s ideas. Time to continue the adventure!] Bregolon covers the dead body with a cloak. Lhaewan agrees to wait in the woods. His orb lights up: “I have a spare Orb.” He pulls one out from a p...

"Um, right," says Grymthor, "Alinar, you'll do." "I thought I recognized you," says Bregolon. "you're our ambassador with Haven, or the other way around..." He stares at Alinar almost in awe. Grymthor clears his throat. "Someone with more brains than me n...

Bregolon looks at Kaylan, confused. “I serve Master Lhaewan of my own free will.” Lhawean’s orb glows. “I am as perplexed as you are, master dwarf. As for Ruino-“ He stops, then sits down on a rock to rest. “Forgive me. Talking is taxing. I was saying, as for Ruin-” “As for Ruinor appearing," G...

Grymthor turns to Kaylan. “From witness accounts, in the market the bandits put knives to people’s throats and demanded money, which several townsfolk gave them, though they did not release their hostages. Why change their demands now? …The watchmen were with me to see the bandits and this elf- Adem...

To Kaylan Meteora says: "We know of no abductions. We only know of what's important. That we have already told you -or offered. It is not our fault if you are too oafish to listen."

You follow. The trees clear and the entrance to a mine looms ahead. “About an hour ago, not long after the market attack, we heard screams coming from this direction,” says Grymthor. A few watchmen and two richly dressed elves surround something on the ground a dozen paces from the entrance. Bregolo...

"Ah, the stone. A solid choice, sir." As Nellie studies each item, Ondyaw looks impressed. "You have a keen mind, but then again you are a dwarf. Indeed, the herbs and potions need not be returned if used within 3 days. Bylaw 13, subparagraph 34. And yes," he chuckles, "9 ti...
