Nicolai’s Temple Tale

The mage cut lengths of Siswa robe to gag and bind the unconsious guardsmen. He hunted around for the leader and hoped it wasn’t the one with the crossbow bolt in his chest. He searched each body for any mark or badge of authority occasionally asking Saeth to give her opinion. Saeth seemed indifferent as [...]

Dropping The Last Two

As the elves crumpled to the floor the mage’s eyes widened, well it paid to ignore some of the rumours that the elves wove about themselves. It occured to him that he might rouse one of the unconscous elves and try a friendship enchantment on him. Surely he would aid them against the Rahib and [...]

The Siswa Attack

Miklos’s immediate reaction to the charging Siswa was to summon his sleep incantation.  He whispered the words of making and enchanting and as softly as a breeze he blew the dwoemer into the minds of the charging foe.
Maruc sprang to his feet and hoisted his shield up and said, “Who has the healing draughts? We [...]

Return of the Siswa

Maruc realised the Feldard would swiftly require more healing and sommoned Halav to bless the dwarf once again with renew’d vigour. “Nicolai, in your opinion can we afford to spend another half-night resting ourselves or not?”
Feldard kept his grumbles to himself at the familiar feel of the prayer. Mentally he noted, ‘I should consider [...]

Golem Theory

Saeth looked across at the spellcaster, a sardonic laugh in her good eye. “So, what makes the two of them worth fighting, and the two of us not?” Her gaze flicked to the creature standing on the other side of the altar. “And what can we do to stop it, as needbe? You think it’s [...]

Retreat From The Temple

Maruc guessed at what was causing the problem, the magic weapons. “Run to the west door and bar it Nicolai! It can detect magic somehow. It’s after the sword. I must save Feldard if I can.”
“Maruc, that sounds like a plan! Exit via the south door, and I’ll meet up with you later!” Nicolai quickly [...]

Feldard Falls

Well, if she couldn’t hurt it directly, she supposed she’d have to do whatever she could to help the Dwarf. Ducking low to avoid the newcomer Nicolai’s sword and its swings–HER sword, darn it!–she charged into the back of the creature’s kneecaps, grabbing its legs and trying to knock it from its feet.
The dwarf’s attacks [...]

The Mystery Of The Multi-Armed Menace

Pulling his flail from his shield hand, Maruc leaped forward to meet the creature and perhaps to draw some of its attention from the beleagured dwarf.
The cleric’s flail bounced harmlessly off the giant, multi-armed skeleton. Though he did his best to interject himself into the fray, the thing did not seem to be interested in [...]

Big Bones

“The incantation? Don’t think I heard one.” Saeth spun as the new creature revealed itself. “I think Feldard may need a hand!”
Gripping it in two hands, Saeth raised her scimitar and slowly stepped forward, circling to get behind the gigantic skeleton as it approached the Dwarf.
Defiled indeed! thought the cleric. “Perhaps this the guardian we [...]

The Protector of the Temple

The foiled dwarf let out a bellow as the Rahib disappeared before he could even raise his crossbow. “Twice cursed son of troll-whore! Where’d he go?”
Maruc swiftly scanned the room beyond for foes, seeing none he drew alongside Feldard. “I care not for my own safely however if you persist on placing Mistress Saeth and [...]
