Yeah, I was thinking about that option, as then I could point out three, and they won't remember. Maybe I'll stop doing it as time goes on, but I did leave them there, since I saw photos of it being done.

The Heroes stayed together and headed to the left from their cell and then made another left, searching for their weapons. The Wizard moved to check out the last hallway and fell into the pit trap! They all got together and the Elf dispatched the Orc who was warming himself by the fireplace. Not finding their weapons, they pressed on.

Barbara II the Barbarian decided to open the door and take on the awaiting Goblin. The group found their gear, and headed out to search for their way our of Grak's lair.

Here, we see them pressing on, Steel the Dwarf is trailing behind.

Oankh the Wizard encountered an Orc as she led the way, then Steel took point and encountered this goblin, who gave him little trouble. It's at this point, the Heroes decided it was safe to split up.

Steel and Carrie teamed up again and headed further down the hallway, encountering more goblin rage. This one hastled him quite well.

Steel slayed an Orc in this room, and started looking for treasure.

Oankh and Barbara II took on a Fimir, Goblin, and an Orc, then pressed on to the center room and quietly opened the door, revealing five orcs and a fimir, chowing down at a table.

An overhead shot as the Heroes slowly and quietly backed away. With the team split, Steel encountered a Fimir, and he fell in battle.

A bit blurry, but Barbara II circled the center room and entered through the other door, as the greenskins had hauled ass to look for the intruders who opened the door. The magic users took out the goblins, then opened the door with the stairwell, revealing Grak and his minions! They dispatched them and left only Grak.

With Orcs and a Fimir bearing down, Barbara II hotfooted it back and in a weakened state, and Carrie ran back to give her a healing potion so she could watch the rear...

Oankh used a Tempest spell to bind Grak up long enough for the remaining Heroes to escape. I love this fact, because I can use Grak later on as a reoccurring villan.

After a bit of rest, the Heroes pressed on....

The Lost Wizard (Quest 7)

The Heroes entered, and immediately encountered some wily skeletons.

In this quest, however, the Heroes learned the the perils of searching for treasure. They previously had great luck, finding gold and healing potions, but lately, they've found hazards and wandering monsters, like this mummy.

The Hereos, with their trusty mascot, Boston, pressed on.

More and more undead!

And more! (which were gave the Heroes some difficulty.)

The Heroes worked their way back and then encoutnered two Chaos Warriors. Barbara II took some damage but dropped on, while K'Steel, son of Steel, took on the other one, while Barbara II napped.

Barbara helped K'Steel out, then K'Steel and Carrie rounded the corner, finding another Chaos Warrior. They lured him down the hallway, and Carrie sliced him down.

Barbara II dropped the final Chaos Warrior.

The Heroes dispatched of the Gargoyle, thinking that things couldn't get any worse. They were beaten and bloodied. Oankh pressed on and dispatched of Wardoz, picking up the proof they needed. Just as the Heroes decided to leave, Barbara II decided to go in the other room...

More undead! But this time, the Heroes slayed them quickly, and Barbara II was able to don Borin's Armor.

The ending of this quest was bittersweet, as it was the final one of the night. Oankh and K'Steel's players have a lot of weekend complications, so I don't know when the next session will be. If anything, it might have to hold off till September, but I hope not.

Looking over the campaign so far, there's only been on player who hasn't died -- Carrie the Elf. Steel was a good dwarf, but the die rolls just hurt him so many times. Barbara just got hit at the wrong time, and Oank... Well, she fell to the Trial.

But I have dedicated players, with real-life committments.

Alas...

Till next time...
