AG: Complete Adventure #2 (hopefully) From: burgesmw@cnsvax.uwec.edu Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1993 04:12:14 +0000 Sxar, ID# 489 -- Player ID# 143 Sxar wakes from a wild dream. The door in the tunnel had been huge and ancient, with enormous roots from above and below holding it firmly closed. Someone started chopping into the roots with their axe, and the rumbling sound began. Sxar was quick enough to escape the cave in, but could not evade the massive root tentacles which caught and crushed him awake. After grabbing a bite to eat and then getting some last-minute practice in, Sxar is ready to start the day ********************************** After morning exercises, Sxar is approached by VooDoo HooDoo who gives him a bag filled with 100 gold crowns Stopping at the treasury, Sxar withdraws 430 gold crowns Visiting the merchants square, Sxar sells a Small Silver Box for 12 GC, a Gold Necklace for 23 GC, a Silver Nugget for 8 GC Visiting the merchants square, Sxar finds 40 arrows for 40 gold crowns After morning exercises, Sxar goes to the treasury and anonymously deposits 500 gold crowns into Fenrir Stonecutter's account After morning exercises, Sxar finds Oscar, ID# 505 and gives him 100 gold crowns Sxar visits the evil temple before the battles begin, donating 50 gold crowns On his way back to the guild hall, Sxar gets stuck walking behind two noblemen for a while. "If you think that's bad," says the pudgy nobleman, "I heard that one of the instructors at the Adventurers Guild is wanted for at least a dozen murders in the kingdom of Samerien" The rest of the conversation is unheard as the gentlemen turn into the Three Coins Inn Sxar receives a Potion of Healing from Oscar Stopping at the treasury, Sxar deposits 354 gold crowns Adventuring to the Dead Hills Patrol The party consists of: Pazuzeus Gravestone, Galin, Dergus Trapfinder, Sxar, Firiel, Alf, and a healer A gently warming sun greets the party as they exit through the main guild gate, and head toward the headquarters of the Varna Rangers. Walking at a comfortable pace, it is only minutes before the party reaches the somewhat plain-looking building, and makes for the door. Inside, an elderly halfling gentleman sits at an appropriately sized desk, and motions for the party to sit down on the long bench in front of him The halfling tries clearing his throat, coughs, then takes a long drink from a mug on his desk. He then sighs and smiles before saying "Good morning, brave adventurers. I'll bet my favorite pipe that you're here to register for the patrol. Well that's wonderful! I see you're all ready, but we need to get some information before you leave so we can pay you when you get back." The questions don't take long, and soon the party is directed onto a horse-drawn cart waiting outside, driven by a sour-faced draftsman. "Don't mind him. Vorbo's just a bit cranky in the morning," says the halfling before waving goodbye. "Don't forget! Vorbo will drop you off in Jalet around sundown today, and he'll drive you back again six days from now. You stay at the Stumble Inn tonight, at no charge. Fare well!" Already Vorbo has bullied his horse and cart well away from the headquarters, and the party loses sight and sound of the halfling clerk immediately. Vorbo meanwhile continues pressing through the crowds with just enough concern for others safety to avoid the attention of the city guard. By the time the party has arranged the straw, blankets, kegs, and crates to their comfort the cart has crossed the river and passed through the north gate The driver turns out to be downright surly, and does little but grunt when talked to. Within an hour the cart passes the last of the farms surrounding Antar, and the party settles in for the many hours ahead. The food and drink provided for the journey turns out to be surprisingly good. certainly not touched by the guild cooking crew. Traffic on the road is very light, and there is little to do but count the sea gulls as they patrol the coast to the west. Perhaps a half hour from sundown, the cart reaches Jalet, the small coastal city at the base of the Dead Hills. Vorbo drops the party off in front of the Stumble Inn, and moves off to finish his deliveries as the sun sinks into the sea Music, singing and a feeling of good cheer pours from the open door of the three-storied inn. Stepping into the enormous common room, the party is quickly greeted by the hostess. "You must be working for the Rangers. Please make yourself at home in our humble inn. Afraid we're somewhat busy tonight, but we've plenty of food and bedding for you. I'll have one of the serving maids see to your needs." With that the hostess hustled off, and soon the party is enjoying an excellent meal among the many people happily passing away the evening Eventually the party decides to turn in for the night, and goes to the rooms assigned them. The distant crashing of the waves puts the party to sleep in almost no time, and it is past dawn before the noise of others in the hall wakes them.

Continuing on, the party comes to a door that is slightly ajar, and enters the pillared hall beyond A hall stretches before you, with three pairs of pillars standing at attention in the middle of this roughly 25 by 50 foot room (encounter area # 16 ) A quick glance about the area reveals a big door which appears to be heavily used Galin detects a magical ward, and warns the others so that the party safely avoids the dangerous obstacle A Sack of 15 GC is found by Dergus Trapfinder After done searching, you find a total of 15 gold crowns Pazuzeus Gravestone takes 2 gold crowns Galin takes 2 gold crowns Dergus Trapfinder takes 2 gold crowns Sxar takes 3 gold crowns Firiel takes 3 gold crowns Alf takes 3 gold crowns Checking the area over, Galin acquires a Potion of Resistance Looking around, Alf discovers a Platinum Bracelet Looking around, Dergus Trapfinder finds a Bright Red Scroll Checking the area over, Alf acquires a Fancy Brass Ring Looking around, Sxar discovers a Copper Gong Looking around, Firiel acquires a Silver Nugget The party moves towards the big door The party gets ready, then continues on The party comes out onto a path, and advances down the serpentine trail, all senses alert. At one point Galin thinks he hears the muttering of distant voices from ahead, but the sound lasts only a few seconds. Eventually the party reaches a point where the trail seems to widen up ahead, and enters the clearing You've entered a clearing perhaps 50 feet long by 15 feet wide.

With stomachs growling, the party decides to find a safe spot and make camp for the night. Morning finds the party well-rested, and ready to go on The party walks down the rocky trail, wary of any danger. A distant howling comes from behind, but Firiel decides it is merely the wind. Eventually the party reaches a point where the trail seems to widen up ahead, and enters the breezy clearing You have entered a somewhat square clearing, perhaps 35 feet on a side (encounter area # 18 ) A quick glance about the area reveals a trail that seems to be used a lot The party moves towards the first trail The party gets ready, then continues on The party proceeds down the treacherous trail, ready for anything. A while later the party reaches a point where the trail seems to widen up ahead, and enters the clearing You've entered a clearing perhaps 50 feet long by 15 feet wide. Alcoves line both sides of the clearing (encounter area # 19 ) A quick glance about the area reveals a trail that seems to be used a lot The party moves towards the first trail Moving on, the party finds a path which leads to the valley entrance in the Dead Hills. Wary for an ambush, the party hikes through the pass, and makes it to Jalet in the late afternoon. Warm food and comfortable quarters await the temporary Rangers, and the party enjoys the inn and the city until Varbo pulls up to return them to Antar. The trip back is dampened a bit by a brief rainstorm, but it is only an hour or so past sunset when the party is leaving the Ranger Headquarters, walking back to the guild after just receiving 35 gold crowns in payment for the patrol duty End of Adventure Sxar gained a total of 50 EP's, 391 gold, 1 Adv.
