[QUOTE="Selm, post: 62147, member: 1592"] [b]Episode 1[/b] Episode ONE - The Start of the Story (All good ToEE stories must start at the Inn of the Welcome Wench) Planting 14, 591CY Alahija, daughter of the viscount of Verbobonc was travelling from Verbobonc to Hommlet with her escort, the young knight Killashalandilis and the wolf nomad cleric of Kord Ezekiel. They encountered two travellers setting camp on their last night before arriving at Hommlet. The two were a man and a woman, clearly nobles by their clothes or rich merchants but without anything to sell ... after some discussion they learned that they all intended to go to Hommlet and decided to camp and finish the road together. It was hard for Alahija to hide her title as Killasha (landilis but it's long really ;) ) was always adding "Your Lordship" when she was addressing her. Finally they learned who each other was. The two strangers were from Chendl (as Ezekiel and Killasha). The man was named Lywen Selinker and the woman declared herself has his bodyguard and was named Diane Derwyn. The night went well ... they arrived at Hommlet on the 15th of Planting. As the day is almost done, they decide to go to the Inn and to see Rufus tomorrow. So they enter the Inn of the Welcome Wench. As Vesta and her mother are helping at the fortress for a special diner, they are "welcome" by the barmaid Maridosen. She's quite rude but very professional and they are soon around a table with hot soup in their bowls and Celene wine in their cups. The inn is not overcrowded but there is a lot of people, townfolks but also travellers, merchants and adventurers. They speak a little with Maridosen and learn of a gnome staying at the inn and having been attacked by gnolls some days ago. They also spot a man in black (the MIB as he was quickly called) wering black armor alone at a table in the back of the room. And wo said that bad people wear always black ? They learn that the man has quite a sinister reputation of drunker and bar fighter ... Soon after, a strong man wearing arms and armor enters the Inn. He is warmly welcome by Ostler, the inkeeper in the kitchen tonight because his wife and daughter are not here. After he sits at the table of the town guards. They quicly learn that he's named Elmo and is the town militia captain. Killasha goes to speak with the gnome, worried by the gnoll rumor; and Ezekiel with Elmo, as it's always good to speak with the military chief :) Ezekiel also goes to the bar asking Maridosen about the black fellow at the back of the Inn. It turns out that Elmo was aware of their expected arrival and agreed when Ezekiel says him that they will see Rufus tomorrow. Maridosen knows few about the black armored guy, he doesn't speak a lot, pays his bills and drink too much, he has already been in prison for drunk fight one or two times if she remembers well ... The gnome, named Gandigoot - yes Gandigoot, not Gundigoot as the name of the innkeeper (Ostler is named Gundigoot as his wife and daughter) imagine the pain :D - decides to go to the newcomers table to warn them of the gnoll danger. During this time, a young man, quite common by appearance, was earing their conversation. He was a monk seeking wisdom in travels and was quite concerned by the poor gnomes attacked by dangerous beasties such as gnolls. He asks to join the table, and the party is complete. Gandigoot convince them to go hunting gnolls tomorrow, but after their meeting with Hommlet leader, Rufus. During this time, Killasha is looking intensly in one direction ... the Man in Black, and finally get what she deserved, he's coming right on them ... As the other are still speaking of gnolls, two heavy gauntlets hurt the table. MiB "Why are you looking at me like that ?" Killasha "Well, you're wearing black color ... and ... it's black ... and black is bad, no ?" you deserve a detect evil thinks Killasha and she starts to concentrate MiB "Stop that magic" he's advancing towards Killasha who jump up from her stool. As Killasha is not stopping, a gauntled fist struck her in the face, but she's a strong and determined fellow and she keeps her concentration. To her surprise, black is not always bad as the man in front of her isn't wearing those bad auras she learned to see. Reassured, she sits back on her stool ... Around the table people look another way and all is back to normal, everyone was thinking that the young knight will duel her black nemesis but she keeps her temper ... another day ... Finally Gandigoot is asking the man about his name and profession. His name is Xaod and he says that he's "chasing evil around the world" ... Hearing that by the word, Gandigoot asks him to join them on their gnoll hunt. Rendez-vous is taken for tomorrow early afternoom! Soon after everyone goes to sleep after a long busy day. Hommlet seems to be a peaceful town but dangers are seemingly waiting just outside. The first game session was over, and they were all living well ... the Inn of the Wecome Wench is not so dangerous, besides MIBs ... but a Temple campaign could not be played only in the Inn ... ... soon ... ----------------------------------------------------------- Episode TWO - Another Day in a Quiet Little Town - Part 1 (DM: You're approaching the moathouse. Players: Hey we're searching an old fortress, what do you want with a "moathouse" ? DM: Oh god, ok, I'll stop English ... 8) ) [/QUOTE]
