[QUOTE="Iron Chef BBQ, post: 400569, member: 1844"] [b]condensed summary #1[/b] Wow! None of us have posted an update in over a month. Since I'm note taker, that's my bad. We've played quite a bit so here's the condensed version of several runs, which will take us up to the present. *The party ends up killing dwarf number two with an impressive use of fairy fire. *We find a map that leads us to an illusionary land made to look like an elven paradise from before the war. There are portals throughout the land that lead from one place to another (e.g., the plains to the forest, etc.) Each portal requires that you hold a particular object in your hand to pass through (e.g., a leaf to cross into the forest). Finding each portal and figuring out the trigger is a challenge. *The first portal takes us to a bridge where a troll guard poses a riddle to each of us to get across. *In the forest, the party dispatches (by that I mean kills) 40 goblins. *In the castle guards attack us, and Deke is killed. We come across Gobry, still heartsick for Cosette. A dispel magic scroll brings him to his senses and saves the party from having to hear any more poetry. He is now outraged and vows to help the party defeat Cosette. *From the castle they each step out of a window with a feather and end up on a cloud. There is a long pathway leading to another castle, all in the air. As they cross the path, a huge white creature rises up from the cloud and begins to talk to them. It¡¦s a dragon, although they don¡¦t know that because none of them have seen, or even heard of, dragons. Marja recognizes the creature, though. It¡¦s just like the monsters in her nightmares that fly at her and push her off a cliff. The evil creatures that have been haunting her sleep for 20 years. She is reduces to hysterical sobbing in it¡¦s presence as it sniffs at her closely and talks about smelling the blood in her. Borin steps up and yells at the dragon to stop scaring her. The dragon is amused. Although the dragon cannot help the party fight Cosette due to a pact, he gives Morgaine a magical staff to use against her. Morgaine is pretty excited about it even though she has to give it back. *A battle ensues, and by the end they have Cosette on her knees.
