SUMMARY:
Game
Date: 01-12-15
Cast:
Sparruu, Frothgar, Argus, Azmooth
Our
heroes stink! The foulness of nobberlochs is all over them. Standing
in the small ice house with Aggi Migloden this fact quickly becomes
overwhelming. They make their way toward Bjarn's to clean up and
change clothes when sounds are heard to the north. Azmooth stealthily
speeds into the darkness to investigate. Sparruu returns to Aggi and
the children to watch over them.
As
Argus and Frothgar stand in the night snow two arrows thump into the
barbarian's back, bringing him to his knees! The arrows came from the
south. The two take refuge behind the nearest house and soon the
voice of Luud the hunter rings in the night.
"Gimme
that sword, boy. It belongs to me. Drop it and walk away. Nobody has
to die."
Argus,
himself on the edge of death, disagrees. Somebody has to die.
Meanwhile
Sparruu has discovered something in his pocket. The cleric's
instincts light up. It is a gift from Miana Musina! She is not happy
about being shut out by the dark goddess K'lixtra. A magic ring.
Putting it on, he uses one of the ring's powers and calls up the
illusion of a great red dragon to harrow Luud and his cronies.
Taking
full advantage of this ruse Argus and Frothgar rush the hunter, who
promptly drops to the ground and begs for his life. But to no avail.
Argus ends the conflict with Haveroc, the sword Luud came to steal.
To
the north Azmooth has discovered the sounds are that of Fjarlneski
Itti and Uul Ulu, her sorcerous companion. They are traveling with
the local hunter Falki, hunting orcs and giants.
The
two groups join forces.
And
Frimm, god of the north, speaks directly to Frothgar...filling the
cleric with healing magic and power. Frothgar's touch restores his
companions to health and vigor!
Soon
they are joined by the spirits of dead dwarves...another gift from
the gods! There stands Brickwallow Stormshot, Tankfellow Stormshot,
Bruiser Barrackbomb, Boomer Earthcleaver, Zapper Earthcleaver, Shank
Earthcleaver, Urfnozzle Doorbreaker, Nabby Doorbreaker, and even
Silverchain.
Brickwallow,
default leader of the dead dwarves, offers his axe on this dreadful
night.
The
gang of heroes, following the obvious trail left by marauding
monsters, traverses the ice lake. But it is not to the island at its
center that they go, but rather past it. On the far shore...where
waits a gang of drokks to harass them.
Battle
ensues and the dwarven spirits take lead, allowing the heroes to
continue the journey into the darkness.
