Excellent.

You should think about copying this post over to the Campaign board. That seems to be where stories from everyone's games are going, while this one is talk about published adventures. But I'm not a moderator. I just come here for the awesome.

Hi All: Part 2

No member of the party could read the glyphs but the story was accompanied by pictographs, and seemed to be the story of a great king and his deeds.  Feeling the need to go deeper into the barrow mound the party tore more paneling from the walls both to build up the fire and to use as torches.  they ventured down a sloping corridor approximately thirty feet where they found a passage to both the right and left. Deciding right they found a corridor with several burial chambers. the fighter and berserker checked out the first one where they found a bier and on it a helmet, a medium shield, and a long sword in it's scabbard. About then the ranger told them that more wolves had made their way in and were almost upon them. The fighter grabbed shield and longsword while my berserker did the same from the next bier and hurried to face the wolves telling the ranger to arm himself as well. after a short battle we dispatched the wolves and marveled at our new weapons, helms and shields. They seemed to be of a higher quality then we were accustomed to though plain in appearance. After thanking the spirits of the dead warriors a braver party explored the rest of the corridor finding two more biers with similar equpiment and that the passage ended just after that. More to follow in a bit... Aaron

Hi All:  Part 4

Greed is bad, we should all have this tattooed across our foreheads.  Of course we went to the end of the corridor.  Of course we found the catch that opened the door to the high kings chamber and muscled the heavy slab open. There we found the king laid out like the others and two small chests on the chamber floor.  If our armor was that of gods, then this was the armor of the king of gods. While the berserker watched the door, the fighter forced the first chest open to find a gold goblet encrusted with jewels. While he did that the ranger picked up the helm, and ghostly warriors filled the corridor. Trembling with dread we met them just inside the doorway where they could come at us but two at a time. More to follow in a bit...  Aaron

A Note:  For years I have used a parrie system that I like. Everyone and thing gets parries, when I roll the attackers roll I ask the attacked to roll a D20 and add their defence bonus if it is 5 points or more higher then the attack roll they parrie it (Monsters just get a parrie (attack roll) and if it is 5 points higher it is deflected) Thus giving the players a small advantage over the monsters, as in this adventure they could have died many times over especially against the kings megaghost....  Aaron
