"Hey! you lied to me, that wasn't long OR boring."
Heh. I'll try harder next time!
"Go forth and destroy!"
I surely will.
Anyways,...
DIARY OF A POWER MAD ENCHANTER
--------------------------------------------
written by, Karyle.
Entry #1: My minions, and I charged into the Church of St. Cuthbert, and after the silly priest there threw a few taunts at us, we promptly tortured and kill the fool. Our next mission is to head to Hommlett, and destroy the church there as well for some profit.
Entry #2: After arriving in this dainty little village, I realized rather quickly, that the folks here are beyond pathetic. They allow drunks to play in the streets and accost travelers for gold to play adventurer. No to mention the invisible chidlren the 'proud parents' speak off... The only place in town remotely worthwhile is the inn run by a smart innkeeper who gave us free room and baord for as long as we wnat it simply because we called out a lying scum who tried to cheat Thorrak out of his money. The shops for the most part are crap. They don't even bother selling the good stuff.
Entry #3: It's been a few days, and these pathetic people have been harassing us to do the silliest things for them like getting them hitch or helping them join the the town 'army'. Bah. I told them to piss off. I did help the Rufus and Burn with a spy problem, and ratted out the spy's bosses as well... The traders didn't appreciate that. I say screw them. Out of boredom, the crazy Psycholara convinced me to kill some spiders for the town woodcutter. What a waste of our time.
Entry #4: Everyone was whsipering about the moathouse being taken over by bandits. These bandits sound like my type of people so I decide to visit them. That was a mistake. First off, we got ambushed by some over sized frogs who tried to swallow the Psycho One. We managed to cut the frog in half before it finsihed its meal.
Just before the building itself, a rather large group of bandits jumped out of the bushes trying to slaugter us. I would have rather spoken to them, but they'd have none of it. I yawned, cast a few sleep spells while Thorrak led the troops in squashing them. Pitiful fools attacking us with their pitiful equipment. Sadly, it was getting late, so it was time to head back to town and rest.
Entry #5: That night, one of the inn patrons spoke to me about Emery Meadows and the lost treasures that can be found. I decided a different approach should be had so we sent off to investigate the place. Arriving there conviently at night, it didn't take long for a small army of skeletons attacked us. Did I ever tell you how much I hate the undead? Well, I do, and that damn priest of mine thought it would be funny to dominate them as extra targets. I'd never tell him this, but I commend him on his wisdom.
Scouting ahead, Harshii hurried back and informed me of what she described as a large ugly creature, and its pet bear. From the rather good description, I made the determination that it must be a hill gaint. The foolhardy dwarf wanted to rush in; but I manged to get the point across that would spell the end of us. I told him we'd return once I felt we were capable of meeting such a beats. It took every ounce of willpower on his part to obey there. I commend Thorrak for that.
Entry #6: After a brief break, it was time to head back out to the moathouse. Inside, rats were scurrying about but they were no threat to use. Various other vicious animals like a giant snake were though; but ti didn't take for us to smash them to bits.
Inside a room, another group of bandits accosted us with orders from someone carrying a great axe much like my dwarf was. He was apparantly their leader. Between my sleep spells, the small skeleton army Klanthith had rounded up in the Meadow, and the attacks of Thorrak our group made quick work of them. The bandits were pitiful, and got what they deserve. I noticed some nearby stairs going down, and we all headed there.
Entry #7: Near some cells it looked like there were some zombies were eating some recently dead humans. Feeling it was better we get the jump on them before they saw us, we attacked. For some odd reason the battle was tougher than I thought it was going to be. Most of the skeletons were destroyed, and both our main tankers - the dwarf and cleric - were badly injured. Harshii unlocked some nearby doors, and we sent our skeletons in. Inside was an ogre, and we were in no shape to fight it so I told everyone to head back up stairs. Unfortunately, we couldn't as it seemed something magical was stopping us from doing so. We had no choice but to enter combat with the ogre so battle plans were drawn up. Spells were cast, and potions were drank.
What happened next was anything but good. It was utter chaos, and the ogre seemed like it would take unsurmountable damage. Psycholara, and Mansou went down rather quick. Thorrak was giving the beats some good thwaks while I was doing the only thing I could do and patch up the peons now bleeding on the floor. That's when disaster really stuck as the ogre felled the dwarf. His attention then turned to me, and I know I was in deep trouble. With no useful spells remaining, my mind raced with ideas. I had no choice but try to defend myself by putting all my effort into protecting myself. By this time, the ogre was on shaky legs. I had to hope Harshii's arrows could do the trick. I managed to last a few rounds, before the big oaf got a lucky hit through my defenses, and I landed in a pool of my own blood. As I fell, however, I saw the ogre basically squash Thorrak with its club and begin to move towards the halfling. I guess Thorrak would ahve been better off dying against the giant. That's the last thing I saw for a long while...
Entry #8: When I awoke, I was at the inn. Harshii informed me that she managed to get the beats with an arrow through the eye just before it reached her. The halfing, however, was quiet on hwo she managed to get all our unconcious or in the case of Thorrak our dead bodies back to the inn. I was too weak to push her for an answer at this time. She mentioned a large set of stairs behind where we fought the ogre. We would go there after we reprepared ourselves.
After finishing recovering, the four us bought more supplies and buried the unfortunate dwarf's remains. I was worried now that we had no front line warrior. There was no need, however, as luckily enough fate had brough another dwarf to the inn that day. His name was Mondarr Heavystone, and he overed his services in exchange for a share of the gold and gems. I agreed promptly. Now, it is time to head back and thoroughly investigate the moathouse. I wonder exactly what the ogre was guarding those stairs for... and, for hmm..
To. Be. Continued...
NEW CHARACTER ALERT
----------------------------
Mondarr Heavystone - LE Dwarf Male Fighter of Moradin
-----------------------
Mondarr is an Axe for Hire. He sells out to the highest bidder as long as there is promise of killing. Despite his vicious tendencies, he remains loyal to the dwarven race and will never fight another dwarf except in self defense even if it means breaking a deal with someone who has otherwise purchased his services.
CAMPAIGN SYNOPSIS #1: So far, it's been ok. All my characters are nearing level 3 except for the new warrior who just joined with 0xp. Fighting frogs is still fun even after all this time, and having a small skeleton army is cool though it's down to one boltless skele. Heh. Homlette is still a crap town with almost uniformly boring and awful quests. The Boathouse was cool until the garbage with the ogre. i knew we weren't ready to fight him so I tried to run... but, had forgotten that you cna't escape battles in TOEE. HAHA.. We were forced to fight... And, of course, as predicted, it didn't go so well... Got really lucky to survive, but unlucky that he decided to cleave Thorrak after knocking the leader Karyle down. Fighting defensively did give him a boost to ac which kept the battle going and Harshii time to kill the ogre. The halfling is the hero! LOL The game seems to crash when i try to exit no matter what. Talk about lame.
'Til next time!!!
