A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

Michael finds that a hot tea and simple sandwich of cold chicken on yesterday's bread with some fine cheese and a mixture of honey and mustard is the best the galley can do with Grumbar and his best people out cutting up mastadon. Willum soon has a tune going. The ship, while cool is not unbareable. Only the men actually out on the ice are really feeling the cold. Grond and Chandar both look a little worse for the fight, but pleased with the complement. They soon assemble a small band of Marines and Nicolas joins in as well.

OOC: How many men will you be taking? Who will you put in charge? It is likely you'll be able to see the ship most of the time you are ashore.

MIchael will sort out the party taking Grond, NIcholas, guiessppie and 5 marnies. He will leave Lt. Imparriall and Mangrum back at the ship with to supervise the repairs and Chandar to supervise the ships defenses. Michael will still have them light the braziers if for no other reason the the comofrting effect and prescene of fire......then he will set out.."I assume the area was searched after the combat for items...especially that blasted lance?"

Chandar reports that other than the saddle on the mastodon they found no gear, treasure or trace of the Ice King or his snowmen. The Entombed also sank into the ice in death, leaving only the corpses of the cats and the Mastodon behind. The braziers are lit and the little band of Michael, Grond, Giuseppe and the five marines set off.

OOC: Light sources? Your order of march? And your destination--will you search the whole island or make directly for the strange light?

After a short distance, when you reach the slope it becomes clear that the melting ice is dangerously slick.

OOC: Balance checks for all please. Just roll d20's for the marines and I'll figure out their bonus.

Michael and Giuseppe both take a tumble on the ice, while only their pride is hurt it becomes clear that they are going to have to move very slowly. In a situation where rapid movements are required, such as combat, it could be very difficult to stay on your feet.

The party will carefully make their way to the light source..."If we are engaged, use distance weapons to keep them at bay while we move carefully to a protected position." Michael informs the party

 

[Scotley]

Moving cautiously, you make your way across the ice. A couple of times you hear movement, either Smilodon's or their prey, but neither comes near your lights. Finally, you crest the hill and look down into a grotto where you see a most unexpected sight...

OOC: Sorry, have to finish tomorrow.
