[QUOTE="Richards, post: 9241669, member: 508"] We played through two short adventures in today's "Dreams of Erthe" campaign. In the first one, "Welcome to the Jungle," the PCs: [LIST] [*]Arrived on the continent of Talonia, were warned to be wary of predators, and were given directions to the Fleetfoot tribe of halflings' encampment [*]Were surprised to see said encampment was a cave network dug into the side of a cliffside, but with a square, stone building jutting out from the cliff, which had seven heavy wooden doors along its three exposed sides (the spellsword's arcane mentor Andrea had cast [I]wall of stone [/I]spells to create the building as her pre-payment for a guide, a halfling ranger named Beetle Darkcloud) to the Forbidden Lands [*]Were met by the Fleetfoot Tribe and were told Beetle had returned and they'd let him take them there (they're seeking Andrea's body for return to her home for burial) if they'd slay Cunning-Devil, a fiercely intelligent tyrannosaur ("swordtooth titan") who had been eating their fastieth dinosaur mounts [*]Were set upon by a pack of five velociraptors ("clawfeet") while headed to the fastieths' watering hole and killed them, mostly by the elf sorcerer's [I]chain lightning [/I]spell [*]Found the watering hole and 12 fastieths drinking from the river, overseen by two male halfling rangers mounted on fastieth mounts, when Cunning-Devil rose up out of a nearby lake and made his way towards the panicked flock, grabbing up the rearmost in his teeth and chewing him up (I used a Godzilla "mini" for Cunning-Devil) [*]Fought off Cunning-Devil (who turned out to be a fiendish tyrannosaur with 36 HD and 413 hp!), eventually slaying him but not until after the elf sorcerer had been bitten and almost swallowed (escaping by drinking his last [I]gaseous form [/I]potion), whittling him down by the elf's [I]chain lightning[/I] spell, the half-orc cleric/paladin's [I]smite evil/[/I]shield bash attack while riding an air elemental warhorse, the dwarf cleric's summoned greater earth elemental, the human spellsword's draining him with a [I]ray of exhaustion[/I] spell, and the bard/rogue's sneak attack/crit with his magic rapier, stabbing him in the head while under the effects of an [I]air walk [/I]spell (he made the killing blow) [/LIST] The PCs were then offered a feast of celebration that night, where they were served meat from Cunning-Devil's flank (which they ate, but only after the cleric/paladin cast a [i]purify food and water[/i] spell upon it). In the second adventure, "Looking for Some Boneheads," the PCs: [LIST] [*]Went off with Beetle to start their months-long trek to the Forbidden Lands (which the halflings believe to be a land of ghosts, where those who enter are never seen again), but 3 hours down the road was a band of lizardfolk ranchers who raised pachycephalosauruses ("boneheads"), dinosaurs of a suitable size as mounts for the PCs [*]Were attacked by a hunting party of six deinonychi while traveling through tall grasses, but they were all slain by the elf sorcerer's [I]prismatic spray [/I]spell which slew 4, petrified one, and sent the sixth to a random plane (after blinding him to make things even worse for him) [*]Stored the four slain deinonychi and the petrified statue in their extradimensional lamp as barter for the lizardfolk (they, like the Fleetfoot halflings, don't use money) [*]Made it to the lizardfolk arroyo, only to find they had no "spare" boneheads, just the six the barbarians among the tribe used as mounts [*]Talked to Thassp, the lizardfolk barbarian leader, through Beetle, who spoke a pidgin version of the Draconic language (although the elf sorcerer understood everything through his permanent [I]tongues[/I] spell effect); Thassp had never before seen a "pale elf" (as the dark-skinned drow are rampant through the continent), "wide one" (dwarf), or "round ears" (the three humans), and asked Beetle if he knew what they tasted like [*]Were told to be ready to run for it by Beetle after Thassp said he'd take the wide one and one round-ear and the others could go free, much to Beetle's consternation (Thassp had never treated guests like that before) and the other lizardfolks' confusion (why were they attacking these visitors?) [*]Had the dwarf cleric seal off their dead-end arroyo canyon with a [I]wall of stone[/I] spell [*]Fought off the lizardfolk, slaying about half of them and hurting Thassp to the point he revealed himself as a newly-bitten lycanthrope - a were-pteranodon [*]Killed Thassp before he could summon other pteranodons and the were-quetzelcoatlus who had recently bitten him [*]Accepted the surrender of the other lizardfolk, who gave the PCs the six boneheads in payment for having had their leader attack them (they were all unaware of his lycanthropic status) [*]Each named their new bonehead mount and rode off out of the arroyo and back on the road to the Forbidden Lands [/LIST] We ran through both adventures in a little over four hours.
