Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

In an Against the Darkmaster game in which I play, I had to give up playing heroically, with little concern about my PC’s death — because playing as a “suicide” (as the other players termed it) simply necessitated that they had to keep saving me. Ah, well.

Yes, all the Heroes in Shankshill are long dead, alive only in the tunes of the hiding Bards...

Votin doesnt' think he does. His best communication so far has been the razor edge of his mighty axe.
He knows beastmen took his sister. He assumes beastmen killed his parents.

The stream is 30 yards from Votin. The only beastmen between are the circle of protectors.

"Gundrabu, Tillak! It's here! Hide!"  Kondor hisses at the other two, before diving into the trees at the top of the hill, hiding in them and having his sword ready to fight for his life.

This was the reason he had come to this hilltop, knowing whatever it was would be there soon, needing a place to hide.

The beastman at his feet is badly wounded but still lives.

Votin again attempts to decapitate the beastman but his skill or the spirit's favor say otherwise.

Initiative [1d6]=3
Attack
[1d20+1]=5+1=6
Damage
[1d8+2]=5+2=7

[ooc: on the next go around Votin will grab the severed arm hold it high in the air , scream loudly and run as fast as he can towards the stream? and hopefully confuse his guest? host.]

The beastman almost looks as if it is sorry the young barbarian missed. But he does try to slither away.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor watches from his hiding place. Has the creature come towards him, or will it head towards the beastmen?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Gundrabu, now dressed in his gear, will look with curiosity at his apparently insensate cousin.

“Tillak?” Gundrabu snaps his fingers under the other esquimaux’s beard. “How fare thee?”

Out of the canopy of trees below Kondor sees a 40 ft. long serpentine dragon with 12 legs and large crocodilian head emerge! Its thick scales are blue-green.
