Warhammer Quest: Starting Out

[Oversoul]

Dorgath thinks it is a wand of summoning. What it might summon, he does not know. Since it is topped with a skull, it probably does not summon live dwarf slavegirls. But maybe it does...

 

[turgy22]

Kelgar is noticeably absent. I'd like to find a way to heal myself.

"Gee, Dorgath, that incense of healing sure smells good. Mind if I take a puff?"

 

[Oversoul]

Hm, Melkor hasn't been on much lately (he hasn't posted anywhere on the boards for most of this month). He's probably busy. Since everyone else except Carrow has already entered the pit, I see no reason for Kelgar not to at least tag along with the group while his controller is otherwise occupied. We've certainly had to do that in the D&D game...

But Kelgar's roll to heal anything with his Ring of Jade fails this turn anyway.

 

[Spiderman]

Dwarven wenches are always good. Especially if they bring a constant supply of Bugman's Brew.

"Sure Throg, help yourself. Anyone else want to look at this thing and get a better idea of what it is? If not, I'll tuck it away as I'm sure some Wizard somewhere will buy it for a good price.

Where to next? You want to climb up to the east and try the door to the north to catch whatever's in there unawares, seeing as how they expect someone to come from their west? Or just bypass it and try this door to our west?"

 

[turgy22]

"We did what we came to do. I say we try to get out of here the way we came. Of course, we can't forget this thing..."

Throg will cut off the Minotaur's head.

 

[Spiderman]

"Wait, are we sure that this is the monster?" Dorgath looks at the minotaur's feet, to see if they're cloven or not.

 

[turgy22]

"So we find and kill a minotaur that tells us he'll feast on our viscera and you think perhaps he hasn't been eating villagers? Dwarf logic..."

 

[Spiderman]

"If you remember the elder's briefing, he said he wasn't sure it was a minotaur. A villager said he thought it might have been, but the footprint outside was that of a human, not a cloven hoof."

 

[Oversoul]

The minotaur's feet are human-shaped (and very big). Throg opens the incense jar and the entire pit is filled with potent healing vapors. This incense was powerful stuff. The party's Wounds are fully restored.

-Dorgath obtained an unknown skull wand.
-Throg obtained a Hellfire Sword.
-Throg obtained the Minotaur Head.

 

[Mooseman]

Well let's drag that head out of here and get our reward...... or do we continue skulking about in this underground cess pit?

 

[Spiderman]

"All right, let's go then."

 

[Oversoul]

Which way?

 

[turgy22]

I say back the way we came. Where's that rope?

 

[Mooseman]

If I can, I'll boost someone up.

 

[Spiderman]

"Don't tell me we forgot to tie the rope to something before we all jumped down here... or was it just me and Throg?"

 

[turgy22]

Technically, neither Kelgar nor Carrow entered the pit. We should be able to throw one of them the rope and they can either pull us up or tie it to something so we can climb out.

 

[Spiderman]

So whoever has the rope either throw it up or throw it down so we can get out.

 

[Oversoul]

The power phase is 3 for this turn.

Dorgath throws one end of the rope up to Carrow and Kelgar. Both Dorgath and Throg easily scale the wall with the aid of the rope. The journey back out is uneventful. You return to the village and present to the elders the minotaur head. They immediately give you all of their gold, which amounts to 200 for each Warrior.

 

[turgy22]

Score.

 

[Spiderman]

Dorgath asks the elder, "Is there anyone in the village who might be able to identify this?" and holds up the skull wand.
