[QUOTE="pogre, post: 6748698, member: 6588"] Intrepid Adventures of Legend or Hobo Murderers on the Loose (a pogre storyhour) [B]Episode 27[/B] [I]Enemy of my Enemy is my Enemy[/I] Helja perked up and called out to the others, “There is an old road or foundation under here.” “Maybe this is related to the old temple mentioned in the shaman’s scrolls,” Osbourne volunteered. “Only one way to find out. Let’s make a road trip,” Brodek remarked. ***** As the adventurers struggled through the lower jungle, following the old road, a large flock of bat-winged creatures with large proboscis descended toward the group. “Stirges!” Helja cried out. Erik murmured an invocation and an aura of radiant light rose up around the group. The stirges crashed into the holy light and fell to the ground. “Holy flyswatter!” Osbourne exclaimed. Erik merely smiled and gathered his pack to continue the travels. ***** Following the road through a few miles of jungle the adventurers spied a large volcano looming up ahead of them. As the group came closer to the volcano they spied a large temple entrance built into the slope. After a short discussion the adventurers decided to fall back on standard procedure - charge! Charging up the old road they were confronted by a massive fire elemental. A huge voice rose up from behind the flaming elemental, “What sacrifice did you bring to the temple!” The group unleashed hell on the elemental and it’s life energy was quickly extinguished. A great Efreeti dressed in black robes appeared in the temple. “Why have you slain my servant?” “Your next flame monkey,” Brodek retorted. The fight was brutal and short and the Efreeti fell just as his pet had. Cabo explored the inner shrine and weathered the extreme heat to see a man strapped to a pole on an island in a lake of lava. Cabo returned to the group and reported what he had found. “There is no way to get to him,” Cabo remarked. “Was it the Captain?” Osbourne asked. “No idea,” Cabo admitted. “He was too far away to see.” “Well, let’s allow him to keep cooking while we look around,” Helja offered. “We cannot get to him right now anyway.” “Fair enough,” Brodek stated. “Back to the road.” ***** The road led to the other end of the island and a fire giant lair. The group quickly killed the giant and looted its lair. They found evidence that the giant was a rival and of the Efreeti and was seeking a way to overthrow him. “Do you suppose the giant was immune to harm from heat and fire?” Osbourne asked. “Undoubtedly,” Erik replied. “I guess we should have parleyed,” Osbourne mused. “Well, I guess the captain’s dead,” Brodek quipped. The group headed back to the ship. ***** “The captain’s dead?” the mate asked. “Burned to a crisp,” Cabo replied. “How do you know?” “We saw him die in a lake of lava,” Sabo explained. “Oh dear gods!” “Yeah, it was just terrible,” Cabo dead-panned. “Well, let’s get this boat rolling.” [/QUOTE]
