Adventure 12/11/99

[MonksDeath@aol.com]

For those who care,
    I am Nathan, and this is the results of my first solo gm.

The adventurers were called together by an old man seeking assistance.  When 
they met with him he asked them to serve as a distraction to a groups of orcs 
that were serving guard to a terodrako that the old man had vowed to kill 
before he died.

The party said that they would do it for 200 sp and looting rights, the man 
agreed and the party set off to the ship that he had waiting for them. On the 
third night out the party had a slight skirmish with the terodrako and the 
party came out the winner  due to the fact that he was paralyzed and dark 
pained twice in the same round. 

Gregoire would let no one near the drako because it was his fault and he 
wanted to fight the drako fairly.  When the sun rose the drako took off and 
the ship set sail once more.  They reached the island by miday that day.

The party took off in search of the orcs and Gregoire followed until they got 
close enough to the mountain that held the drako's cavern and then he took 
off to do his business.

The party was soon after ambushed by the orcs who dropped a net down on half 
of the party.  Unfortunately for the orcs, three of the four trapped easily 
broke free. A jet spell from the neptunite S'Lar kept the orcan mage and a 
fighter trapped down while the others squared off against the other 6 orcs 
and the chief. 

The lizard S'k was killed early in the fight by a crit that punctured his 
liver and delivered enough damage to finish him off.  The rest of the battle 
went in favor of the party and they quickly dispatched the remaining orcs.

The party then proceeded up the mountain to see what was happening between 
Gregoire and the drako.  The two Raites  beam ported up the mountain and so 
got to see some of the battle.  Retreating to the end of the cave they waited 
until the end of the battle to go back in.  They saw that the drako lay dead 
and Gregoire was cleanly chopped in half, length wise.((This was due to a 
scythe spell on an amulet the drako had that was released upon his death))  
One of the Raites recovered Gregoire's hammer to return to the people on the 
ship.  The two quickly proceeded away out of the cave because a necklace that 
Gregoire was threatening to explode.  They two met up with the rest of the 
party who were then joined by some female warriors from the ship.  The hammer 
was handed over and everyone returned to the ship.

The hammer was set on a small raft of kindling and the party watched as it 
was set out to see and set afire by a lighted arrow.  The party was thanked 
by an unnamed man and the ship returned back to Rougtero.

The party had lots of fun and put up with the bumblings of a rookie gm quite 
well.  I awarded the party 2600 exp a piece.

One of the party asked if there was anywhere to purchase magic items.  He was 
directed to Crazy Hassan's Weird Trinkets Emporium.  Crazy Hassan is a new 
merchant in the area who specializes in selling "magical" charms.  Nothing he 
has sold yet has really been magical but his acting is so good that he can 
convince people that they are, most of the time at least.  Hassan is guarded 
from upset customers by, Abu,  a VERY large human that weilds a great sword 
sized scimitar. Hassan's shop is open during regular business hours and all 
are welcome.

And that is all that happened.  I was pleased with my first solo and the 
group had a good time.  
One more thing, I need to be added to the list.  I'm not actually on the list 
yet just submitting to the list.  So, whoever is in charge, will you please 
add MonksDeath@aol.com to the gmlist. Thanks.
