He even had his clothes laid out for tonight.</p><p>Nepzillian: Oh my God.</p><p>Ulfgard: [indistinct] …which colours look more ominous on a Dungeon Master. Yeah. I’ll tell you what, I have to give him this. He does go to the Nth degree.</p><p>Longbeard: Yes.</p><p>Longbeard: Well, I’m gonna be-- I’m gonna be scouring eBay for the next couple of weeks to get a Marvel Superheroes set.</p><p>Ulfgard: Is there any other games you’ve ran?</p><p>Roland: Try Champ-- hey, if you like, if you really like superhero games…</p><p>Ulfgard: Well, the good thing about Marvel Superheroes was, it’s simple.</p><p>Roland: So’s Champions.</p><p>Longbeard: It’s very simple, very quick.</p><p>Ulfgard: Yeah.</p><p>Roland: Yeah, that’s true.</p><p>Longbeard: I’ve run, let’s see, I’ve run Marvel, I’ve run…</p><p>Roland: DC?</p><p>Ulfgard: DC’s harder.</p><p>Roland: Yeah, DC’s harder.

You can actually do seven things in one turn.</p><p>Nepzillian: I can bring my foils and stuff there.</p><p>Ulfgard: I’ve got a couple myself.</p><p>Roland: Um, do you want to do that before I do Vampire?</p><p>Ulfgard: No, ‘cause I have to read the rules.</p><p>Roland: The rules are kind of funky, but--</p><p>Ulfgard: Still.

Really?</p><p>DM: She’s lost an eye and a lot of teeth and flesh and she’s bleeding profusely and she’s wicked as hell, but it’s your great grandmother.</p><p>Nepzillian: Great grandmother? Wait a minute now.

I just forgot all about that.</p><p>Longbeard: She is headless now, also.</p><p>Ulfgard: Cool.</p><p>Nepzillian: But I don’t think mine really…</p><p>Ulfgard: What’s the head doing? Who cut it off?</p><p>Longbeard: Nep knocked it off with his mace.</p><p>Ulfgard: Bad!</p><p>Roland: Again, I’m going to say, is it over?</p><p>DM: The goat’s munching on it.</p><p>Roland: I’m going to say, I’m going to say, is it over?</p><p>Longbeard: He probably is!</p><p>Ulfgard: Then all of a sudden, the goat gets up and goes, arrgh!</p><p>Roland: Is it over?</p><p>Ulfgard: I think it’s over.</p><p>Nepzillian: Roland, feed your goat.</p><p>Roland: I’ll go out in the hallway now.

Go check the head.</p><p>Roland: Is that the old woman from downstairs?</p><p>Nepzillian: Was that the old woman from downstairs?</p><p>Ulfgard: Yeah, I guess so. Who knows? Probably.</p><p>Roland: You guys live here! Is this the woman from downstairs?</p><p>Ulfgard: I think it is, isn’t it? Who knows? We haven’t seen her forever. Who knows? It could be.</p><p>Nepzillian: Apparently we don’t know. We don’t know.</p><p>Ulfgard: We’re going to have to see. I mean, it’s a--</p><p>Roland: Turn her face over.

I’m going to take that sack. I’m going to put all of the medicine in it.</p><p>DM: Ok.</p><p>Roland: And I want to put that tripod in…</p><p>Ulfgard: Search the room again.</p><p>Roland: And then I’m going to get my goat.</p><p>DM: What room?</p><p>Ulfgard: Search this room again. [points to the map]</p><p>Nepzillian: What’s over here? [points to the map]</p><p>DM: Ok.</p><p>Nepzillian: We know something’s over here because there’s lines.</p><p>DM: There’s just a wall.</p><p>Ulfgard: [rolls die] 22.</p><p>DM: You’re pretty sure there’s nothing else.</p><p>Ulfgard: Ok, let’s go to the next room.</p><p>Roland: Is the goat-- there is no next room until we get down here, dude.</p><p>DM: There’s no doors.</p><p>Ulfgard: There’s no doors?</p><p>Roland: There’s a door here. [points to the map]</p><p>Nepzillian: Aw, there’s a door-- I didn’t know there’s a door. Cool.</p><p>DM: No, there’s not a door there.</p><p>Roland: Oh, there’s not a door there? Hey…</p><p>Nepzillian: Can we put one there?</p><p>Longbeard: There’s no doors on that wall at all.</p><p>DM: Your goat’s still there.</p><p>Roland: Ok.</p><p>Ulfgard: So what else is down this hallway? Are there any doors on the other side of the room?</p><p>DM: No.</p><p>Ulfgard: Nothing?</p><p>Roland: Let’s go downstairs and see if it was the old woman. If it was, then we’re safe to check the rest of the house. </p><p>Ulfgard: Fine. Yep.</p><p>Roland: If it wasn’t, then we say we’re here to see the doctor. [indistinct]</p><p>Ulfgard: Right. That’s a June bug.</p><p>Roland: [sings] June bug sitting on a lily pad looking through-- in the sky. Lily slipped, June bug fell. He got water in his eye. Ain’t gonna--</p><p>DM: Ok, so what are you doing now? Tell me again.</p><p>Ulfgard: Ok. We go downstairs. Go to the rest of the house.</p><p>Roland: Should we take the body?</p><p>Ulfgard: No.</p><p>Roland: ‘Cause I ain’t carrying it. It’s nasty.</p><p>Longbeard: Let’s put it in the bathtub.</p><p>Nepzillian: I grab my hammer.</p><p>DM: Ok.</p><p>Nepzillian: By Pelor, I’m gonna kill this guy when I find him.</p><p>Roland: Why?</p><p>Nepzillian: Well, ‘cause I’m going to.</p><p>Ulfgard: Anything else equipment-wise in the room that would be, like, any kind of, like, um--</p><p>Roland: Hey, what’d you find? Let me see.</p><p>Ulfgard: …you know, alchemical equipment, anything like that?</p><p>DM: Pen, ink.</p><p>Ulfgard: Magical seeing glass, anything like that?</p><p>DM: No. </p><p>Nepzillian: I don’t know. Oh wow, I’ve got the Eye of Ar-tec, too. Cool. I didn’t know that. I’m sorry.</p><p>Ulfgard: Right. Let’s go downstairs.</p><p>DM: Ok. Line up in marching order.</p><p>Ulfgard: Let’s go. Put Roland in front.</p><p>Roland: Right now I’ve got to go get my goat.</p><p>Nepzillian: Keep him safe.</p><p>Longbeard: When we get to the bottom…</p><p>DM: Ok, what are you doing?</p><p>Longbeard: Is this door closed or open? [points to the map]</p><p>DM: Open. </p><p>Roland: We closed all doors.</p><p>Ulfgard: Open.</p><p>DM: It’s open.</p><p>Longbeard: Well, it’s open.</p><p>Ulfgard: She came through.</p><p>Longbeard: We closed it.</p><p>Ulfgard: She opened it.</p><p>Longbeard: Somebody came through that door.</p><p>Ulfgard: Let’s go into the sitting room.</p><p>Roland: She let the goat pass. She had a purpose. From what I know of undead, which is very little--</p><p>Ulfgard: There’s somebody out there.</p><p>Roland: They would eat anything alive. Either the goat’s undead also…</p><p>Ulfgard: Shut up.</p><p>Roland: …or she had a purpose. So he’s renting, he’s renting--</p><p>Longbeard: It’s not a porpoise, it’s a goat.</p><p>Roland: So he’s renting off a dead woman.</p><p>Ulfgard: Pretty much. He’s more or less created her to guard the place. Go in. Keep going.</p><p>Roland: There is no--</p><p>Longbeard: There is a door over here. [points to the map]</p><p>Roland: There was? Oh yeah, yeah.</p><p>Nepzillian: There is? </p><p>Ulfgard: Uh-huh.</p><p>Longbeard: On the lower level.</p><p>Nepzillian: Is this the first floor?</p><p>DM: First floor.</p><p>Nepzillian: First floor.</p><p>Roland: [indistinct] I’ll open it.</p><p>DM: Ok.</p><p>Roland: Is there-- wait, wait, stop.</p><p>DM: It’s actually open.</p><p>Roland: Whoa.</p><p>Nepzillian: It probably was her that came upstairs.</p><p>Roland: Oh yeah, ok.</p><p>Ulfgard: What’s in this room? [points to the map]</p><p>DM: This is sort of a foyer and a living room combined.</p><p>Ulfgard: Ok.</p><p>DM: There’s another fireplace down here in this corner [points to the map], and there’s just various things. Overstuffed chairs and things like that.</p><p>Ulfgard: Search the room.</p><p>DM: Roll.</p><p>Ulfgard: [rolls die] 20. 23.</p><p>DM: You’re pretty sure that this is a normal room.</p><p>Nepzillian: For dead people.</p><p>DM: However, the stench of death pervades everything. There’s a lot of dust over everything. Eating utensils have not been used. Plates have not been used.</p><p>Ulfgard: Ok. Go to the next room.</p><p>DM: Ok.</p><p>Roland: Hold on.</p><p>Longbeard: 20’s not good enough. He’s got to search too.</p><p>Roland: No. We have concluded beyond a shadow of a doubt this is an evil man, correct?</p><p>Ulfgard: Pretty much.</p><p>Roland: So can I have that painting?</p><p>Ulfgard: Take the painting!</p><p>Roland: I’m going to go upstairs and get the painting.</p><p>DM: Ok.</p><p>Nepzillian: Do you remember who that was?</p><p>Roland: That one chick.</p><p>Nepzillian: That’s about all you can remember, huh?</p><p>Roland: Yep. We never did find out her name.</p><p>DM: The next room is some sort of kitchen or dining room. There’s a table, some chairs, mostly overturned. A lot of rotting food, a few bottles of water that’s stale.</p><p>Roland: Is any of the food not rotting?</p><p>DM: No.</p><p>Roland: Ok.</p><p>DM: Make sure you write down the portrait.</p><p>Roland: I did.</p><p>Ulfgard: Ok. Go through the next door.</p><p>DM: Ok. The next one is a hallway, and there’s a door to the remaining two rooms on this level.</p><p>Ulfgard: Go in the first one.</p><p>DM: Ok, the first one’s a bedroom. Looks pretty much like a normal bedroom. Everything in here is unused, pristine.</p><p>Roland: Dusty?</p><p>DM: Dusty. The bed’s made. There’s a window that looks out.</p><p>Roland: Look in the drawers and stuff.</p><p>DM: There’s clothing.</p><p>Roland: Clothing as in female’s, I assume?</p><p>DM: Yep.</p><p>Roland: Older, I mean, older style.</p><p>DM: Yep.</p><p>Ulfgard: Petticoats.</p><p>Nepzillian: Anything going upstairs yet from here?</p><p>DM: No.</p><p>Ulfgard: Those are the only stairs in the place.</p><p>Roland: Go to the next-- I’ll check the--</p><p>Longbeard: Is he back with the painting?</p><p>DM: Indoor lavatory. </p><p>Roland: Ooh, indoor outhouse.</p><p>Longbeard: Indoor plumbing.</p><p>DM: It’s very crude by modern standards, but pretty posh for this town.</p><p>Roland: Used?</p><p>DM: Again, hasn’t been used in a long time.</p><p>Roland: Look for some candles.</p><p>DM: There’s some magic candles.</p><p>Roland: Heck with all that. Alright. Ok, let’s get out of here. Let’s go somewhere safe.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: Blue"><em>TO BE CONTINUED</em></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

Roland: Should we take the body? Ulfgard: No. Roland: ‘Cause I ain’t carrying it. It’s nasty. Longbeard: Let’s put it in the bathtub. Nepzillian: I grab my hammer. DM: Ok. Nepzillian: By Pelor, I’m gonna kill this guy when I find him. Roland: Why? Nepzillian: Well, ‘cause I’m going to. Ulfgard: Anything else equipment-wise in the room that would be, like, any kind of, like, um-- Roland: Hey, what’d you find? Let me see. Ulfgard: …you know, alchemical equipment, anything like that? DM: Pen, ink. Ulfgard: Magical seeing glass, anything like that? DM: No. Nepzillian: I don’t know. Oh wow, I’ve got the Eye of Ar-tec, too. Cool. I didn’t know that. I’m sorry. Ulfgard: Right. Let’s go downstairs. DM: Ok. Line up in marching order. Ulfgard: Let’s go. Put Roland in front. Roland: Right now I’ve got to go get my goat. Nepzillian: Keep him safe. Longbeard: When we get to the bottom… DM: Ok, what are you doing? Longbeard: Is this door closed or open? [points to the map] DM: Open. Roland: We closed all doors. Ulfgard: Open. DM: It’s open. Longbeard: Well, it’s open. Ulfgard: She came through. Longbeard: We closed it. Ulfgard: She opened it. Longbeard: Somebody came through that door. Ulfgard: Let’s go into the sitting room. Roland: She let the goat pass. She had a purpose. From what I know of undead, which is very little-- Ulfgard: There’s somebody out there. Roland: They would eat anything alive. Either the goat’s undead also… Ulfgard: Shut up. Roland: …or she had a purpose. So he’s renting, he’s renting-- Longbeard: It’s not a porpoise, it’s a goat. Roland: So he’s renting off a dead woman. Ulfgard: Pretty much. He’s more or less created her to guard the place. Go in. Keep going. Roland: There is no-- Longbeard: There is a door over here. [points to the map] Roland: There was? Oh yeah, yeah. Nepzillian: There is? Ulfgard: Uh-huh. Longbeard: On the lower level. Nepzillian: Is this the first floor? DM: First floor. Nepzillian: First floor. Roland: [indistinct] I’ll open it. DM: Ok. Roland: Is there-- wait, wait, stop. DM: It’s actually open. Roland: Whoa. Nepzillian: It probably was her that came upstairs. Roland: Oh yeah, ok. Ulfgard: What’s in this room? [points to the map] DM: This is sort of a foyer and a living room combined. Ulfgard: Ok. DM: There’s another fireplace down here in this corner [points to the map], and there’s just various things. Overstuffed chairs and things like that. Ulfgard: Search the room. DM: Roll. Ulfgard: [rolls die] 20. 23. DM: You’re pretty sure that this is a normal room. Nepzillian: For dead people. DM: However, the stench of death pervades everything. There’s a lot of dust over everything. Eating utensils have not been used. Plates have not been used. Ulfgard: Ok. Go to the next room. DM: Ok. Roland: Hold on. Longbeard: 20’s not good enough. He’s got to search too. Roland: No. We have concluded beyond a shadow of a doubt this is an evil man, correct? Ulfgard: Pretty much. Roland: So can I have that painting? Ulfgard: Take the painting! Roland: I’m going to go upstairs and get the painting. DM: Ok. Nepzillian: Do you remember who that was? Roland: That one chick. Nepzillian: That’s about all you can remember, huh? Roland: Yep. We never did find out her name. DM: The next room is some sort of kitchen or dining room. There’s a table, some chairs, mostly overturned. A lot of rotting food, a few bottles of water that’s stale. Roland: Is any of the food not rotting? DM: No. Roland: Ok. DM: Make sure you write down the portrait. Roland: I did. Ulfgard: Ok. Go through the next door. DM: Ok. The next one is a hallway, and there’s a door to the remaining two rooms on this level. Ulfgard: Go in the first one. DM: Ok, the first one’s a bedroom. Looks pretty much like a normal bedroom. Everything in here is unused, pristine. Roland: Dusty? DM: Dusty. The bed’s made. There’s a window that looks out. Roland: Look in the drawers and stuff. DM: There’s clothing. Roland: Clothing as in female’s, I assume? DM: Yep. Roland: Older, I mean, older style. DM: Yep. Ulfgard: Petticoats. Nepzillian: Anything going upstairs yet from here? DM: No. Ulfgard: Those are the only stairs in the place. Roland: Go to the next-- I’ll check the-- Longbeard: Is he back with the painting? DM: Indoor lavatory. Roland: Ooh, indoor outhouse. Longbeard: Indoor plumbing. DM: It’s very crude by modern standards, but pretty posh for this town. Roland: Used? DM: Again, hasn’t been used in a long time. Roland: Look for some candles. DM: There’s some magic candles. Roland: Heck with all that. Alright. Ok, let’s get out of here. Let’s go somewhere safe. [COLOR=Blue][I]TO BE CONTINUED[/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
