[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1351547, member: 1210"] [b]Building a Lair[/b] All right, enough with the teasing! :D Upon investigating the cavern the lake serpent lived in, our heroes found a side passage, a natural staircase that was inaccessible except via small boat or swimming, that wound up and up until it emerged on a 600 yard by 150 yard ledge most of the way up the mountain on the opposite side from the lake itself. Realizing that it would be hidden from casual view, the group of would-be pirates set out to do a thorough investigation of the area. After a few hours it was obvious that this was the place. So they set out to build a proper lair. Galliger immediately started drawing up plans for a huge chapel to Bleak, as well as a barracks for the men and a few other necessary buildings. Reluctantly he put a temple to Lyr's barbaric gods on the map as well, but she protested that the size should be equal to the temple of Bleak. Galliger sneered, but relented at Captain Malford's command. The construction would take time, over six months total. At first the party stayed around to supervise, and at a few points there were minor goblin raids; but it was nothing that the crew couldn't handle. During the building time our heroes decided to vacation in Shorult (one of the towns of Gorel) while the men finished up the work. While is Shorult, Malford joined the thieves' guild, hoping to build a relationship with someone he could fence goods that were taken from pirated vessels to; the price was a mere 10% cut of anything the group took in. Upon the command team's return to the lair, they were gratified to find eveything done. A pair of temples, barracks, a prison- there were a total of seven buildings.* Most turned out very well. Galliger immediately held a service to Bleak, and Lyr set out to capture some goblins and their kin and eat their hearts. "Bring them to me alive," she thundered at the hunting party the group dispatched, and she even experimented with eating the hearts of apes. Would they be sentient enough to serve as a proper sacrifice for the Dreadful Gods? Yes, they were. She felt her strength grow as she devoured the steaming heart freshly ripped from the ape's chest, and as hot blood trickled down her chin she grinned. That fool Galliger- he'd never know [i]real[/i] power, not as long as he limited himself to following Galador's shadow. One day, a foraging party- sent out to gather food- came back badly wounded, reporting that the goblins were acting up again, and Malford decided that they'd had enough. "I think it's time we taught them a lesson," he said, and the group assembled and took the Sea Hag out to seek out the goblin lair... *If I can find the old map of the pirates' lair, I'll try to be more specific here.
