[QUOTE="Marquis de Sade, post: 3244685, member: 25787"] [b]In search of allies[/b] [I]Tonight 4 of my players are coming over. Their goal: Destroy Skull Gorge Bridge. But last session ended with some arguments wether this was possible. It sounded something like this:[/I] [U]Active PCs[/U]: [B]Geth Helder, Human Swashbuckler/Fighter/Dervish, 3/2/1 Anor, Elven Ranger, 6th Eluard, Aasimar Cleric/Church Inquisitor, 5th/1st Arranos, Air Genasi Ranger, 5th Milton Gerosh, Human Warmage, 1st[/B] The players have just arrived at the end of the forest and can see the bridge in a distance. The mighty Dragon sits atop one of the towers. Hellhounds are breathing fire on the bridge itself and they can also see an encampment with 5 tents. My players turn silent, shaking their heads. "[I]A dragon? Hey, Im not gonna turn into Milton-cheese toast over this[/I]!" says [B]Milton Gerosh[/B] and shakes his head. "[I]Im saying we need to get back to Drellins Ferry and find a better defensive point to fight this battle. A fire breathing dragon, come on[/I]!" [B]Anor [/B] sits down from his horse and investigates the ground. His slender fingers let the soil sipper through. He looks seriously towards the distant bridge. His voice speaks firm but low. "[I]You might be burned by the dragon my friend, but yet not by flames. I fear this dragon has another breath then the fire from hell[/I]." [B]Milton [/B] looks up at the proud elf. "[I]Oh, great, so now we have special-design dragons as well! Nobody told me we were up against this sh*t! Im going home[/I]!" "[I]Perhaps Milton Gerosh should refrain from making premature judgements in a field outside of his own expertise[/I]" responded the sea-faring swashbuckler [B]Geth Helder[/B]. "[I]We have promised the people of Drellins Ferry to aid their cause, and so be it. You are going nowhere as of now says I[/I]". [B]Milton Gerosh [/B] pulls out some dried beef to comfort himself. "[I]I wish a big fish could swallow that pirate sometime soon[/I]." "[I]My bow can strike that dragon many times before his breath can hurt us[/I]" says [B]Arranos[/B]. "[I]I know my friend. And I would be there beside you letting my arrows fly towards its heart as well. But there might yet be another sollution to this[/I]" says [B]Anor[/B]. "[I]Let me guess, I, Milton Gerosh will have to sneak up to the bridge, climb in under it and blow it to pieces, huh[/I]!?" says a disturbed [B]Milton Gerosh [/B] sarcastically and lays himself exhausted to the ground. "[I]No, but do you remember the massive effigy we saw down the road? I reckognized it as the work of Forest-Giants. A race that is not evil and prefer to have silence and balance in their forest[/I]." [B]Anor [/B] looks around on his friends tired faces. It has already been a long war, and they know it will yet be long before it can be over. "[I]What are you saying[/I]?" wondered [B]Geth Helder[/B]. "[I]Im saying that perhaps we have more potential friends then we first thought[/I]." ([B]Anor[/B]) "[I]And why would a bunch of Giants help us out in a war that doesnt concern them? You said yourself they wanted to be left alone in peace and quiet[/I]?" says [B]Eluard [/B] the Cleric and clenches his holy symbol of Lathander. Almost as if squeezing out the last powers of the rays of the sun. "[I]What can be more disturbing to their peace and quiet than thousands of goblinoids burning and chopping down everything in their path[/I]!?" replies [B]Anor[/B]. Silence. [B]Anor[/B]´s friends tired brains are working slowly, slowly. Suddenly their eyes regain new power. They believe. "[I]With the help of mighty Giants, perhaps we can take out that bridge after all. I swear you my friends one thing. I, Anor Laelithar, will do everything in my power to see to it. Now, mount your rides, off we go to meet the Giants of the Forest. We have a bridge to destroy[/I]!" And so the friends rode off from the bridge with regained belief in their cause. But somewhere in the back of [B]Milton Gerosh[/B]´s mind, and perhaps someone elses to, was that lingering feeling of having been pulled into a conflict out of their hands. Were they going to die hear on these southern plains of Faerun? Atleast it would be for a good cause he tried to tell himself. But what about all the people in the valley? How can we possibly save them? Darkness fell and hid them as they rode slowly due south in look for a mighty ally. Will this be the last chance to delay the horde and the fate of the humans in the valley? Only time will tell. And they dont have plenty of it. [I]To be continued[/I].... [/QUOTE]
