Day
10
Another
fine clear day in the Realm! Bats are prowling, but they have all
been exterminated. The characters take advantage of the circumstances
to discover and loot treasure sites. The Elf and Black Knight arrive
at the top of Mountain, just ahead of the other treasure hunters,
the Druid and Berserker, who make camp once more on the slopes.
The Black Knight is able to discover the Vault and pass the location
on to the Elf before the day is over. The Elf pulls the Lost Keys
out of his pocket and gives them to the Black Knight who opens the
Vault, but can't pull any treasures out.
Over
near the Altar, Inigo Balboa, the SHQ, wanders over to bargain with
the Patrol HQ for some item that he has. Despite PHQ's best offer,
it turns out that Balboa is just window shopping. At the end of
the turn, PHQ is joined by a visitor with Food&Ale who wants
to be taken to the Guard house. The Captain returns to the Altar,
but finds nothing, while the Wizard takes a treasure, learns a spell,
and is joined by a visitor who wants to lead a revolt of the oppressed
forest people against the Realm's military. The Witch, transmorphized
to a Tremendous Flying Dragon by the Toadstool Circle's Black magic,
Reads Runes to learn the Altar's Type II spell, but is struck with
Wither and Ill Health curses as she leafs through the runes.
The
Amazon pulls a Great Treasure out of the Pool. Unfortunately it
is the Cloven Hoof, which activates, spreading Black magic all around
and adds 1 to all the die rolls in the clearing. Nevertheless, the
White Knight still manages to pull one more treasure out of the
Pool, finding the Mouldy Skeleton which materializes the legendary
armor treasures -- and curses the White Knight with Ashes. Meanwhile,
the Witch King rests, enchants some more color magic, and walks
over to have a conversation with his ex-absorbee, the Tremendous
Giant.
In
combat, the Witch King activates "Absorb Essence" and,
as a Tremendous Dragon, undercuts and kills the Tremendous Giant
-- his head just outreaching the Giant's club. Inigo Balboa, the
SHQ, battles and unhorses the Patrol before combat ends after two
rounds without any kills or fatigue.
BIRDSONG
The
Witch's Absorb Essence spell is activated by the Black magic at
the Toadstool Circle. The Witch will spend the day in the form of
the Tremendous Flying Dragon.
