Through the eyes of Urza Van Burace
To start out my,
"merry"
adventure I posted some more notices for some newbies to adventuring.
Someone
has to train them in. I found Marq Marquette, Dalamar De Lahoia,
Poké Dido, Mo Sim, and Chaberwani Zaberwaki (Char). Pretty
pathetic
I thought, but it must be done.
We picked up food
and
horses. The party decided to go to Lanning's Trials. As we headed out I
found myself and the party teleported to the dungeons door. Queer I
thought,
but I led the guys inside. I told the party to be quiet because
of
the piercers and we ventured to the chasm at the end of the tunnel.
Obviously
we used rope and slid down. 50 feet deep.
We arrived in a
room
that had three doors. Two wooden and a steel door covered in yellow
cloth
saying "Do not enter". I tried to open the door and was unsuccessful
again
and again.
I went to one of
the
wooden doors. Happened to be South. I walked in and dropped 10 feet to
the floor. The others were helped down.
The next door was
10
feet above us. So they boosted me up and I lifted them up to me. After
everyone was in I opened the next door revealing a room covered in
holes.
(Spikes duh) Dalamar tried his flying broom in the hallway for a while
to get used to it and flew into the room. He got hit by one spike like
I told him he would.
We traveled back to
the
starting room and went threw the other wooden door. It led to a long
hallway
ending in a stairway. Mo Sim fell down the stairs and toppled a few
others
over too.
The next door led
to
a fork with a sign saying beware the games. We went into the south door
and found nothing.
The north door had
20
randomly placed holes in the walls. I covered my body with my shield,
my
shield got punctured but nothing serious. I made it to the next door,
tried
to open it but it was superiorly locked.
I had a good idea.
Have
everyone in the room and close the door. It worked. A voice asked a
question.
He asked for a 5 letter palindrome. I said level and a key appearing in
my hand.
I went through the
door
and found myself in a hallway. We found 3 doors and decided to go
through
the middle door.
There were webs
everywhere.
And spiders to go with them. Large spiders. Not good. They poisoned
Marq
and a wizard arrived along with a little halfling. (Lanning) The wizard
was not happy at all with my leadership. So he did a hold spell on the
party. He unwilled Lanning first and told him a plan.
Lanning ran off.
The
wizard unwilled me and asked me about Marq. I said what I could and he
found me unworthy. Wizards, hmph. I was given a second chance. Everyone
was unheld and we were teleported to a forest with Lanning holding a
leash
to two displacer beasts. I killed them quickly, but my party was
severely
hurt in the battle. I bandaged my companions and healed them to the
best
of my ability.
The wizard appeared
and
told me I passed the tests. The first test being to kill the displacer
beasts, the second was to heal my comrades with the wizards help.
The wizard demanded
to
have all of my dragon scales and my dragon shield. I gave them up
unhappily.
He recompensated me for all the money I lost paying for gear for the
party.
We were teleported
back
to Givemea and that ends my adventure for the day.
This concludes
my merry
adventure.
