Day Two

Gunther ditched his tabard. He no longer stinks as much.

We went through the west door back at the beginning. We walked down a short hallway; and entered a room with a small stone chest. Ahara and Earen checked it for traps. It was not locked, so we opened it.

Many darts shot from the chest. Ahara jumped out of the way. Earen jumped out of the way. Dane took a dart to the face.

Inside the chest was a leather handbag, two pearls and a bag of 100 gold coins. Tindome checked the headband for magic. It was indeed magical. It radiated an aura of abjuration, which is protective magic (+1 to will saves).

We left the room and went to the east door in the first room. There was a sarcophagus like statue. It’s head came to life, grew wings and attacked us.

(At this point, my voice recorder batteries died. I’m doing the rest from memory. -Ed.)

Ahara stabbed the creature with her rapier and it promptly died.

We left the dungeon and walked to a nearby city, Dane’s hometown. There, we sold our loot, made some cash and proceeded directly to a tavern for some drinks.

Day One

There was a massive storm terrorizing the wilderness somewhere in the Forgotten Realms.

Five individual wanderers made their ways to a rocky outcropping on a hill seeking shelter from the storm. There was a massive stone arched entryway into the hill. Everyone passed through the door to escape the storm.

We introduced ourselves to each other and then noticed that there were three doors in this room. Just then, the doors crumble with a thunder clap. A bunch of rats come running out of the center doorway and attack us.

We quickly made a plan and started the fight.Eären fired an arrow at a rat and killed it. Ahara fired an arrow at a rat and killed it. Dane moved forward a bit and shot a crossbow bolt at a rat. He missed and the bolt skittered across the floor. Tindome moved forward some and fired his crossbow. The bolt struck the rat, killing it instantly. Gunther moved up some and shot at a rat. His arrow missed.

The remaining rats moved towards us. They started biting at us, but their teeth could not penetrate our armor. Tindome suffered a small bite wound on his leg, but he was only wearing regular clothes.

Eären stabbed at a rat with her long sword and slew it. Ahara ran up to a rat and stabbed one with her rapier. It died on her blade. Dane ran to a rat and smashed it with his mace, cracking the flagstone beneath. Tindome stabbed a rat with his spear. It died with much pain. Gunther promptly slew the last rat with his bastard sword.

We went through the center door, walked down a hall and entered a room. There were several tables containing rusted iron implements of torture. There were blood stains. There was a hole in the roof through which rain was falling. The water went down a drain in the floor. There was a door on the opposite wall. As soon as we entered the room, two hobgoblins walked through that door.

Dane drew his crossbow and fumbled with it. The bolt flew off and embedded itself in the wall to his left. Tindome ran towards the hobgoblins and from a few feet away stabbed with his spear. The hobgoblin dodged out of the way. Gunther fired an arrow and missed the hobgoblin. Eären fired an arrow and it whizzed by close to Tindome, but struck the hobgoblin, killing it. Ahara fired an arrow and struck the hobgoblin, but he didn’t fall.

The remaining hobgoblin ran at Tindome and swung his sword at him. Tindome was terribly wounded and he fell to the ground, unconscious and bleeding profusely.

Dane the Cleric ran over to Tindome. He used his skills to stop the bleeding, but Tindome was still unconscious. Gunther stabbed at the hobgoblin and missed. Eären ran at the hobgoblin. She stabbed and missed. Ahara ran along the wall and stopped behind a table. She fired an arrow and missed.

The hobgoblin swung his sword at Eären, but missed. His slash was checked by his arrow wound.

Dane moved between Tindome and the hobgoblin. He raised his mace and crushed the hobgoblins’s skull with a mighty blow.

The battle was won!

Dane cured Tindome with Cure Light Wounds.

We looted the bodies and obtained two sets of studded leather armor, Dane rifled through their pockets and found 8 gold coins. We also obtained a short sword and a javelin.

Tindome took a rune covered belt. He cast a Read Magic spell on it and found that it helped him to carry more weight. He put it on.

We looked around the room and found that the iron implements were useless. Dane cleaned the blood, bone and brains from his mace in the rain falling into the room.

We went through the door into a hall. Ahara and Eären sneaked silently down a branching passage to the right. They stopped at the doorway and noticed that there was a single thread strung across it. Inside the room were a few lumps wound in silk that looked a lot like bodies.

They came back to the rest of the group and told us what was up.

We went back to the room. Ahara and Eären crept under the thread and into the room, hiding in shadows in the corners. Gunther threw the torch into the room and Dane cut the thread. A huge spider dropped from the ceiling right in front of the doorway.

Eären shot an arrow at the spider and missed. Ahara ran up to the spider and stabbed it with her rapier. Gunther squeezed past the spider into the room. He stopped behind it and stabbed it with his sword, doing some damage. Dane pounded the spider with his mace, doing critical damage to it. It perished under his mighty blow. He spat upon the corpse.

Gunther cut off a leg for a trophy. Gunther, Dane and Tindome cut open the body bags and rooted through the goo inside looking for loot. We found 75 gold pieces and a pearl. Dane took the pearl and offered it to Ahara and Eären. Ahara took it with gratitude. Dane is smooooth!

Tindome suggested that we share carrying the loot, but split the proceeds. All agreed.

Ahara and Eären left the room and went down the other hall way. They found another room. they saw the corpse of a knight laying on a table. There were gold pieces scattered around the floor.

They came back and told us about it. We all entered the room. As soon as Gunther and Eären set foot in the room, the zombie came to life and shuffled towards us.

Gunther ran at the zombie, stabbing at it, but just nicking it slightly. Eären ran around to the far side of the table and shot at the zombie, missing greatly. Ahara ran to the side of the zombie and thrust with her rapier, cutting the zombie. Dane entered the room and unveiled his holy might, wounding and scaring the (un)living piss out of the zombie. Tindome fired a crossbow bolt at the zombie, but missed.

The zombie ran towards a wall, cowering in fear.

Gunther approached the terrified zombie and stabbed it in the back with his bastard sword. Eären fired an arrow at the zombie, striking it’s back. Ahara moved towards the zombie and fired an arrow, missing. Dane ran at the zombie, shouting the name of his goddess, “Temora!” He struck with his mace and slew the zombie.

We collected 250 gold pieces from the floor. The zombie’s morningstar and javelin were rusty and worthless. Strapped to his back was a masterwork rapier, which Ahara took. Gunther claimed the zombie’s tattered tabard. He immediately began to smell worse than usual.
