[QUOTE="Skarr, post: 6398508, member: 6780317"] [b]Tales from 'Novos Ordo' Part-II[/b] The party (Orrinhatch, Traxxex and Drakon) leave Bootymahn in the tavern to rest before they headed to the Ogre Chieftain. They were stopped at the entrance of the main gate by two guards but used diplomacy to convince them enter. Inside they met the chief of the town who was presiding over a small council meeting. On seeing the newcomers he got excited and called for the guards to constrain them, but once again being diplomats worthy of balancing the song of ice and fire, they calmed him down and managed to convince him to give them services of the town's army to help them capture the supposed serial killer of the town's shops which they had themselves heisted the day before (1 success before three failures). They proceeded to visit a second tavern at the edge of the town wall, and conspired to kill the inn's keeper. Upon showing them their rooms, Orrin beckoned the keeper to a window to have a look at the scenery. He complied and duly became the fifth Morc town resident to witness a new breed of darkness, thrown from the window he screamed for help, wondering where these Jokers had come from. As the world came crashing up, he realized he had seen the look of their eyes before, eyes that were burnt with madness, and wanted to in turn see the world burn. Paralyzed on impact, the last thing he saw was the monster now crashing down on him with a knee burying into his chest and an axe slicing through his face. The screams had brought the guards to the scene but both Orrin and Trax ready for them. On the first sight of guards they screamed "murderer" while pointing at the forest. The dim witted guards (ogres) immediately chased after a "ghost" serial killer in the woods. They then report to chief of the new victim of the killer, and the guards arrive empty handed from the duck chase in the woods. They now convince the chief to lend them the entire army to capture the killer. Bootymahn (who was partying with booty and siestas in the tavern) now returned. The chieftan had a quest for them if they wanted further services of the army. He wanted a monster ( known as the Cycloptic Ball) that terrorized a mountain which was home to their allies (the Ettins) to be killed. The party rested and started the quest, going up to the cavern which was rumored to be haunted by the monster. Cautiously using scouts, they did a reconnaissance of the area, though they lost 5 units in the process. Forming a tight unit the charged into the cavern with the army and came face to face with the an Abyssal called Eye of the Beholder. Using the army as their meat shield,they rolled till they killed the beast. Casualties now increased to 15, but they had successfully finished their first quest. Happy with their victory over a level 20 monster, the army swore fealty to their new lords, after being subjected to an epic speech (natural 20). While the party rested, Orrin took the army and went upto Ettin town, which rested in a cavity in the mountains. He met the village elders and learnt that there was a flight of white dragons who haunted the peaks, and had eaten the able bodied youths of the town. On hearing this Orrin smiled like the Joker and whispered "Butcher them all!" to his generals. Only two escaped the massacre that followed- a child and his mother. Collecting all the meat in carts, he went to the peak with the army.Smelling the fresh cut meat, an Elder White dragon cam to them. Orrin offered the dragon the meat in return for favours. The dragon, amused by the tiny creature's valour, promised him eggs in return. And thus Orrin came to be known as "Lord of Bacon and Eggs". ...to be continued [/QUOTE]
