[QUOTE="(contact), post: 1116, member: 41"] [b]The adventure synopsis to date:[/b] In previous sessions, our heroes [Taran (ftr 4, rgr 2, sor 1), Thelbar (wiz 7, clr 1), Kyreel (clr 7, pal 1), and Indianichus (rog 4, wiz 4)] left Greyhawk looking for answers about their past, a mystery none of them can seem to remember. After chasing after a magical staff and fighting their way through Khundrukar, the band heard rumors of a group of dwarves led by a King Alvodar. As the heroes recognized this name, they determined to travel to Ratik and investigate the Great Delve, where King Alvodar was seen. Along the way, the party stumbled through a portal leading to the plane of Elemental Air, where they were conscripted as freebooters in a war of Ethos, pitting Chaos versus Law. Indy, in particular, embraced the lifestyle of a 'jaunty pirate'. After several adventures on the pirate vessel [i]Marrow Down[/i], they were able to arrange for magical transport back to Greyhawk They returned from their pirate adventures on the Plane of Elemental Air, only to find that Ratik (Eastern Greyhawk) had been infested with Ishlokians, as xenophobic a group of magic-hating imperialists as you could ever hope to meet. So the party killed them. Indy's toad familiar Vognu proved himself a one-amphibian-wrecking-crew, and 'the Slimy Assassin' doled out the pain with his 5 ft. movement rate and [i]shocking grasp[/i]. (Oh yeah, he's bad.) Brrrap. Flop. Brrrap. Flop. BZZZZZZZZT! But despite their best intentions, the heroes didn't kill the Ishlokian psion leader, who was (as it turned out) the ambassador to Ratik from Knurl a powerful nearby neighbor. The party was arrested (save for Indy) and things looked bleak. Indy is not one to easily concede defeat, however, and he hired a swift-talking gnomish barrister and simultaneously began a one-elf crusade (you say 'muckraking', I say 'liberation struggle') to "win the hearts and minds" of the Ratik people. Where is Patty Hearst when you need her? Unfortunately, our delusional elven rogue has fully cast off the romantic ideal of the pirate, and donned the romantic ideal of the hard working revolutionary. He has also drawn the tragic conclusion that he and the baroness, while locked in dispute over adventurer's rights and freedom for the Ratik Five, have fallen in love. That he came to this realization only after noticing that the Lady Evaliegh is astonishingly beautiful should surprise no one. Whether it is a sign that the Ishlokians are not well loved, or that our heroes have tumbled into deeper politics than they can know, a 'mysterious friend' freed them from jail, and provided them with a map of the area containing the location of an 'outsider's camp'. All outsiders seem to have been affected by a memory charm. Our heroes hope that at this camp they might get some answers. [/QUOTE]
