[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8557526, member: 508"] Today's "Dreams of Erthe" session dealt with a group of orcs called "The Lost" who ride up out of the desert to raid the neighboring towns. The PCs helped fight off a giant banded lizard that had attacked the wagon of an elf wizard, then helped the elf unload the weapons he had in the wagon into a line on the ground. They were then charged with holding off the raiding orcs while the elf wizard performed the ritual that would turn the line of weapons into a living [I]blade barrier [/I]spell that would slay the orcs. (This was particularly important to the wizard, as raiding orcs had been responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter years before.) Unfortunately, the orcs got within throwing distance of their javelins as the wizard was finishing up the ritual, and as a result the living [I]blade barrier[/I] spell was given the instructions of "Slay all the living" - the wizard was slain before he could finish the ritual with "orcs." As a result, the PC ended up fighting off the orcs while also staying out of range of the living spell; the two orc rangers (and their desert horses) found out the hard way just how dangerous the elf's vengeance was. After killing off the other orcs (four fighters, four barbarians, and an adept), they then had to take care of the living spell lest it continue its rampage on whatever innocents got in its way. And after that, they finally made it to the village where the next dreamer was trapped, a simpleton whose sleeping form was being taken advantage of by the innkeeper he had been working for (and who had been charging the townsfolk drinking in his bar a silver piece each to urinate on him in the stables where he'd been dragged). The PCs rescued him from his dream, took (nonlethal, although the fighter/wizard had to be talked out of killing him) revenge on the innkeeper, and set the formerly trapped dreamer up with a kindly elderly woman in town who agreed to look after him. Naturally, I gave the adventure the title "Raiders of the Lost Orcs." Johnathan [/QUOTE]
