Grim's Story Hour: An FR Campain

[Broccli_Head]

Interesting characters....but I predict the campaign will be short-lived. Not enought adventurers to absorb damage.

Its a play by email campain too, so it is kind of slow...

You were right. Check out what happened when we played in Real Life this afternoon:

Chapter 4: They're not so tough... OUCH!

Once they had prepared themselves, Krellessa and Darvin stepped out into the hallway, blue mist swirling around the sorceress.They crouched down next to the pit, and waited with crossbows ready. Suddenly, from behind the statue, Jankers popped his head up, saw them and fired a bolt, but not before both party members had pulled their own triggers. One bolt went wide, but the other sank into Jankers' flesh. His own shot went wild, sinking into the tunnel wall. Krellessa advanced and began casting a spell, and Darvin pulled out his longspear and charged. He almost hit Jankers, but instead struck the statue's wing.

Just then, two goblins advanced up the stairway, and two more could be heard behind them. Both ran past Darvin's lance, and both were struck down by his oppertunistic thrusts. (DMs note: Combat reflexes and reach weapons are cheap) Krellessa's spell, a ray of enfeeblement, shot out at Jankers, but he dodged it. Two more goblins ran up the stairs as Jankers backed up and shot Darvin in the gut, seriously wounding him. Krellessa climbed up the statue, and from her high position, shot at the ellusive goblin. She missed.

The rest of the combat went quickly. Janker's next shot felled Darvin, and over the next few seconds, several more goblins ran up the stairs and encircled the statue Krellessa sat on. She was outnumbered, surrounded, and bleeding. She started to have thoughts of parlay, and a peaceful way out of the situation. But then she thought better of it, and began *defiling* the statue. The goblins threw their javilins up at her, and then she blacked out...

She woke up a few hours later, in a dark room. She had been... taken. She felt around until she found a torch. She lit it. Around her were all the goblins who had attacked her. They were all dead. She got up, and looked around until she saw the stairs, the same stairs the goblins had run up from. She walked up them. Finding Darvin's dead body, she kicked his head like a soccer ball, gigling like a little girl. She was clearly delerious. A crossbow bolt sunk into her head, and the last thing she saw before she died was a lanky were-rat walking calmly towards her...

THE END

-------

It was a pretty dumb campain. It only lasted a week in RL. Their just weren't enough adventurers to stay alive. And they also refused to run. Maybe next time.

BUMMER!!

But alas, rash actions get you killed. Way to not pull punches especially after the Krellessa thought she was going to be free and then got waxed by the were-rat....
