Berserker Bill suddenly stiffens and without moving his gaze from straight ahead, shouts, “You’re each a deputy: don’t be a dope, watch out for the soap!” *droooooool* He then relaxes and resumes "finding traps".

Berserker Bill bursts to life suddenly. He gives a strangled scream of agony and then wipes at his tearing eyes. "Richard, NOOOO! Our wisest companion! Disintegrated! The very flesh rendered from hi--GGAAAAK!" His body goes stiff and his tongue juts out further than anyone present would...

Berserker Bill, having been stunned for several minutes/hours/days/months by all the vomit the elf produced (like a mouse throwing up three full chicken legs, one after another) suddenly looks up from the mess, his arm still raised with a cup of tea in the hand, pinky still in the air. "YEAH!"...

Moving as non-threateningly as he can, Pollock takes Romanna by the shoulder and steps up in front of her, gently pushing her so that she is against the wall of the lighthouse. He then tries to imitate the hand motion of the "frogmen" and says, "Salutations! I appologize for any undue fright...

"I hear you woman! Always with the bloody bleating." Pollock puts a hand to his head and steadies himself. "I'm sorry, Romanna. You're right. There are many things wrong here. I shouldn't let them get me tense. I think something--" He left his sentence unfinished as he realized how...

The Captain, obviously unaccustomed to dealing with horses (except in a nice hollandaise sauce), looked confused but then nodded. "If you want. We'll be heading back that way, anyway." A shame we didn't know then what we were to find out later about the Captain and his men, but I don't want...

"Ah, yes. I do very much enjoy his Ode to Time." Enjoying the man's enthusiasm, Pollock finds himself caught up in it and actually nodding and following to the dryer when Romanna snaps them both out of it. Pollock slides his hands behind his back and stands aside. Once the component is...

The Orc Captain gave Dongle a respectful but unfriendly look, but said "Our orders weren't to explore it, just to bury it. The master sent in a squad a couple weeks ago, a few of which came back out as walking corpses. Other than that, I don't know. You're supposed to be the professional...

At Romanna's idea of stopping by Zachariel's, Pollock thanks her, understanding that she's in such a hurry to find her brother. When she sings her song, he will smile vaguely and tell her afterward how beautiful it was. After a moment he'll ask if she made it up on the spot or if it was...

The not unwelcoming committee Dongle's entrance stunned them. They all turned to look at him then most of the froze. A few let their jaws drop. A few others let their brows furrow and their eyes tic. The leader seemed most appalled of all, snapped out of it by one of Scouts pointing at us...

Outside, Pollock and Romanna head quickly for the lighthouse. At the edge of town, Pollock explains, "The bar-maid didn't seem to take offense at my mention of Gamael. I'm guessing from that fact that we can trust her to be telling us the truth and that she is probably not tied up in this. I...

The second entrance and the squad of orcs I nodded. "Quite so." I pulled my reins and kneed the horse into line behind Dongle's horse. We cut a wide arc out to the east and back, coming at last to where our heads were high enough that we could see over the next rise. There, a couple hundred...

Pollock took Romanna's hand lightly to stop her, and gave a friendly look to Molly. "That's odd," he said, "I'd heard that lighthouse was deserted. Has this Jopin been the keeper there for long?" Assuming she has nothing of interest to say in response to this, Pollock will add, "I see, I see...

Trouble? The rolling hills made for limited vision, and it was only after perhaps a quarter mile of riding that we crested a hill to find a pair of orcs wearing muddy, light armor running over the crest of the next hill. Before we could react, they were out of view again, perhaps a hundred...

I hadn't considered that we were being watched. I looked about nervously."Probably." After a pause, while Dongle examined the main stones again, I added, "it is conceivable, however, that Maurak'Gunar has bought the keep from the duke, but because of the length of time since it was occupied...

"Why, yes, actually. My good friend here seems to have misplaced her brother." He nods at Romanna. "He came in last night with a small group. They would have been outlanders, perhaps you recall them." Pollock takes some gold pieces from his pocket and absent-mindedly fingers them on the...

The sealed entrance reveals its past Dongle remembered that he had his Darkvision lenses in place and rotated them over to the lenses that helped him search, whatever he gazed upon being clearly magnified. Clearly, there had been at least a dozen creatures working here. Examining the...

The ground was saturated from the weeks of drizzling rain, and the horses hooves sucked and smacked the whole way to the southern (closest) entrance. The ground in the region contained large boulders, many of which jutted out, occasionally towering twenty or even thirty feet in the air, moss...

But are we trapped with them, or are they trapped with us? . . . It's difficult to talk smack to you, you know? "My dear, I will find your component. But first, let us find what leads we can in our search for your brother and his compatriots." He then stopped, ripped a bit of cloth off his...

Pollock forced himself to smile and said, "Normally I'm insulted when a pretty girl includes any part of my person in the category of 'vile things', but in this case I believe you are justified." He held his hand out, letting her do as she would with it. "There was a small box," he indicated...
