D&D Act Three Scene II - The Quiet Country

sKeith

Ekbard puts #1's backpack back on him. He waves goodbye and heads back the way he came.

Tigger

Goodie has 8,000 on him before the treasure and 4K from his split so he gives 10,000 to the village to start a fund to attract new villagers back.


Now we go kill you’re nightmare

Fourier

The people rename the village Goodiebrook in honour of its most famous citizen and quickly begin trying to attract new blood.

OOC: sKeith and Tigger I can run you lads tonight.

Goodie now Level 9 Halfling Master and Level 8 Ranger

Level 8 Ranger gives access to druid spells, see AEC. You can also make six attacks over two rounds, split between the rounds as you want.

Level 9 Halfling master grants access to the following spells:
1. Cure Light Wounds
2. Hold Animal
3. Obscure
4. Remove Fear
5. Resist Fire
6. Sleep
7. Snake Charm
8. Speak with Animals
9. Water Walking

Water Walking
Level: 2
Range: 0 (Master or creature touched)
Duration: 1 round per level of caster

Effect: Enables one being to walk upon the surface of any liquid or thin ice. This spell enables a Master, or another
creature deliberately touched during the spellcasting, to walk upon the surface of any liquid, and other semi-solid surfaces
such as mud and ice. The spell actually supports the being on a cushion of force just above the liquid so that the being
will not actually come into contact with the substance. The spell has no effect upon gases and does not guard against
the effects of severe heat or cold. The Master will feel how much time he or she has left before the spell expires. Unless
the Master tells a non-Master empowered by this spell to walk upon liquids how much time is left, the magic will end
without warning. Rough and agitated liquids can be walked, run, or slid across without fear of submergence.

Tigger

So we head for the chaotic magic place

Getting through the Blight mountains is easy enough and the shire even easier. They need to stop at nightfall, but the night passes without trouble.

By early morning the next day, they arrive at the old oak tree with the cult lair's entrance dug into the hill beside it. The flowers in front of the door are slightly rotted.

Ok we back up to 70 feet away and spread out
Explosive arrow to the door

sKeith

Ekbard tastes the flowers, not eat, taste.

Ook Obviously I don’t shoot till he’s finished being wierd

Fourier

Ekbard tastes the flowers. Just very rotted, but nothing more.

The arrow blows open the door revealing an old clerical style office, now in ruins from the explosion. A door at the back of the office leads north into the lair.

sKeith

Ekbard casts detect evil.

Fourier

Ekbard detects at least twenty evil presences in the room to the North.

sKeith

Ekbard say, " I detect plenty of bad guys inside, a legion of them"

sKeith

Ekbard sends his undead in first. Then waits.

Fourier

The undead enters, but there are no sounds of a struggle.

sKeith

Ekbard follows in

Fourier

Ekbard enters a large circular lecture theatre with a crowd of ghosts arguing the finer points of the Bumblebear faith. They seem not to notice him.

sKeith

Ekbard addresses the ghosts, "hello chaps, how are you today? what can you tell be about this abomination you created?"

I stay outside and keep sketch

ooc: keep the other halflings entertained.

"Obviously the honey mine is not literally infinite otherwise the average value of each drop of honey would approach zero"

"Unlikely, remember Kluxty's argument of preserved value, he argues, in volume three that..."

They continue as if Ekbard didn't exist.

Five doors lead out of the room. One West, One North, Two East and the way they came in to the South.

sKeith

Ekbard makes a count of the ghosts he can see.

sKeith

He then heads to the east and asks #1 to open the first door they come accross.

Fourier

The door leads to pretty cold corridor with a transparent floor. Beneath the floor they can see gems. This West-East corridor continues for about 20' before intersecting one running North-South.

sKeith

Ekbard does not go further that way, he goes to the next east door and asks #1 to again open it.

Fourier

OOC: Save against spell.

Fourier

When the door is opened a normal enough looking corridor is present. However something seems off to Ekbard, the corridor is not lit realistically. He breaks the illusion. In truth the place is a long lab littered with monster corpses, long dead.

There are no other doors out of the lab aside from this entry one.

sKeith

Ekbard ignores all the corpses, against his better judgement, and head towards the north door, he again gets #1 to open the door.

Tigger

I scry ekky

It just seems to be a cloak room for robes similar to the ones the ghosts are wearing.

sKeith

Ekbard grabs a robe and puts it on.

Fourier

One of the ghosts turns.

"Ah young blood at last. Tell us what is your take on the honey mine. Is it in another plane, this one or 'within us'. Infinite in depth or finite?"

sKeith

Ekbard addresses the ghosts once more. "hello chaps, how are you today? what can you tell be about this abomination you created?"

"The Dragvil, I assume? Killed all of us. A blessing in disguise, for now we may debate the faith without need of sleep or food. Follow that door west, you'll eventually find it."

OOC: Asked on rolz, what are you trying to achieve here just so I understand?

sKeith

Ekbard go to the door to the west and again asks the undead soldier that he refers to as #1 to open the door.

Fourier

Goodie maintains a permanent watch on Ekbard from outside.

Fourier

#1 opens the door leading to a corridor which extends only a few feet before making a sharp left.

sKeith

Ekbard send his whole undead army into the door and says march on until you find a clearing, then wait. He then goes back to look for his two retainers, the halflings.

Fourier

The halflings are at the lair entrance.

"You want us boss?"

sKeith

Ekbard says, "you want adventuring, come, dont be holding back wih him, join me in the adventure!"
Ekbard marches back to the west door and enters it.

Fourier

The halflings run along and stand with Ekbard just past the west door, but before the turn to the left.

sKeith

Ekbard advances around the bend

Fourier

The corridor past the turn intersects another running perpendicular (East-West) before continuing South itself to a sharp right turn.

Tigger

Goodie follows as his scrying didn’t work

sKeith

At the intersection, Ekbard takes the west corridor.
