Our company must have a REAL open door policy, because there are VERY few of us originals left.Celwyn and I are the last two standing. We now have two paladins, Garfield (?) and Bucky, of all things. Buck was sent to check on Goldie. Imagine his surprise to find out she was a Dragon. Hee hee. Joe joined us simply because SOMEONE had to keep an eye on that wandering wonder blunder. Then there is Achmed the mage. He is still relatively new, but hey, I did pray for a mage. Praise Brandobaris.On the way in, that annoying mindflayer payed us a visit. Unfortunatley, from one of us he gets a lead into one of the newbies. He gives our position away. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Then I get beaned by a ruby falcon while taking my watch in the tree. The next day, I find what looks like cat leavings in my sealed pack. (Player's note: an unseen force was moving in my bag, and another player finds it, and shuts it in with my stuff.) The next night I find poison ivy in my covers. Sheesh, what gives? Besides  the annoyances, we make it to NoName with no incidents.Showing just how (ahem) sophisticated this burg is, they were having the Annual Monthly fights. Very few rules involved here, simply last man standing (and I use that term LOOSELY).Garfield, the dwarven paladin, steps up to fight. He trades axe blows with his opponent from behind the curtain. It looks to me like  a very close thing. I try to pass him a cure before he gets himself killed. Suddenly, a lot of crossbow bolts are aimed at me. I decide to simply sit back and pray, a LOT.Bucky, seeing Garfield win, decides to try his luck with the box. Oh joy, it's a minotaur. He whines that he didn't have a choice. Ha! Bucky the wonder blunder didn't even wait for the announcer to finish. Sheesh. Before he steps out there, I arm him with the magic sword from the hoard. Luckily, Celwyn had gotten in his bet before the odds dropped against him. Following his lead, the rest of the party take bets, too.Bucky, by prayers and good fortune, drops the minotaur. It is just a momentary respite, though. As the minotaur charges, the ground drops out from under them.Literally.We do get a rope around Bucky, and Achmed has some fly spells and levitates handy. By winching him out we get everyone up and away, and back to Hartford.Celwyn chuckling madly all the way back over the amount of money he made on those two fights. </blockquote>
