Quest 01 - Scene 03 - A Fishy Tale

As our heroes occupy themselves finding whatever they can get their hands on in this prison cell. The water surfaces breaks and from out of the depth comes a creature that is half fish, half man. It has the head of a fish and the body of a pygmy man. It is the dreaded Water Baby.

The heroes noticed not only is the Water Baby completely naked. It also seems like it is holding a real dangerous weapon a fish bone. Silvius eyes sparkles as he saw it; wanting to add it to his hoarding collection.

Silvius: 'I wish to grab the fish bone',

.

GM: 'Are you sure about this?'

.

Silvius: 'Yes!" [Rolls 1 out of 20]

.
Silvius tries to grab for the weapon and succeeded in grabbing it by the blades. He jerks his hand back and swears angrily at the Water Baby.
.

Tony: 'Ha ha ha ha. What a mook!'

.

'Let me show you how it is done!',  says Tony pushing Silvius aside, Tony rushes towards the creature and gives it a great big kick causing the creature to fly and slam against the wall.

Fox was too afraid of the thing and cowered near the stove area. But, Catelyn and Dream went up to it and began stomping on the poor critter till it stopped moving. Catelyn begins searching the naked body of the Water Baby and managed to find herself a Staff of Curing [3 feet length] which seemed to have protruded out of the Water Baby's [1 foot] ass.

GM: 'I'm not sure what the hell happened? But the dice don't lie!'

.

Dream: 'It's my turn. I want to gouge the eyes out of the water baby, mash it into a paste, cook it, slather it on a piece of toasted bread, and eat it!'

.

Catelyn: 'Why the hell would you do that?'

.

Dream: 'It might taste good." [rolls dice]

.
Dream with the slop in her hand, opens her mouth and begins to eat it slowly. She keeps chewing the food in her mouth while giving the impression she likes it. She then swallows it, closes her eyes, and wishes never to take another bite of that thing ever again.

While everyone was trying to keep themselves from spewing from the spectacle that they beheld. Silvius is seen reaching over and grabbing the fish-bone sword. Another trinket to add to his collection.

Quest 01 - Scene 02 - The Cereal Criminals

Waking up from what seemed like hours, our Heroes find themselves falling down a long shaft leading to someplace dark. The first thing they notice is that they are without clothes or items of any sort. Thankfully, they still are wearing their undergarments to hide their shame. They continue to fall until they drop into a mound of dry soft hay.

Getting up from the hay, our trio discover themselves in a fairly lit prison cell.

The prison is fairly big for three people. It has mounds of hay in the corners of the room, running water, a stone stove in the middle of the room, and a huge wooden door that seems to be your only way out of this place.




Silvius, the first to recover from the fall, noticed that he was being stared by two unsavoury fellas in the darkness. He thinks naughty things as he imagines them staring at his slender Elven form. Getting used to the darkness he sees both of them by the prison door [B]. Before he can speak, one of them gained the courage to speak first. The one speaking to him is a very slender human. He appears to be real hairy and sporting an unkempt beard.






'Hello. My name is Fox Flakes. But, people call me by my middle name Ted,' said the hairy man.
By this time Catelyn and Dream have recovered and have introduced themselves to the hairy man. The heroes look towards the fat fellow who introduced himself.

'Blimey! I am Tony Guhr. I am famous around these parts as you can see I am the founder and leader of the notorious "Eye Gang." We steal from the rich and poor and give to ourselves.', said Tony bragging.

'Doesn't that make you a bandit?' asked Dream.

'Of course not! That makes me a super bandit, But, seeing how you are impressed with me, I'm sure we can get along. Perhaps we can be more. Heh heh heh,' chuckled Tony.

The trio began asking Tony and Fox various questions and they learned various things from them about the prison they seem to find themselves in.

- Fox 'Ted' Flakes' is a fidgety man for good reason. He was one of three adventurers that was dropped into the prison, and he had the misfortune to watch his party get killed when they tried to escape. Fear brought him back to the prison where he's remained ever since.

- Tony "The Eye" Guhr has been in the prison for over five years and feels that it is better for him to stay there in order to further his legend throughout the land. He has full confidence on his partner, named "Pops," to continue to lead the gang without him.

- More then a hundred adventurers have passed through this prison. They usually escape at night and always leave Fox behind.

- The warden is a goblin named Pigsfeet who used to be a former wizard. He looks to be inept in anything that seems to be running the prison.

- The guard is a scary brute named Mung who does not need any weapons to make a point.

- There is a running spring [A] in the prison that serves as the toilet, as well as the only place to drink and wash. The holes that the water passes through is too small for anyone to get through.

Bored with talking to the men, Silvius starts looking around the various haystacks [C] and the prison corners [E] where he found the following items: a stone, a stick, a dirty rattle, a broken bowl, and a spoon ... all which seemed too precious for Silvius to let go.


This is where Dream Catcher and Caitlyn Irving realize that Silvius is a damn hoarder.

I am amazed at the amount of crap that Silvius would collect out of nowhere. It makes it very hard for this artist to keep up. - Game Master

Caitlyn tried her luck at looking for something valuable. While the gods deemed it necessary to give all the garbage to Silvius, it smiled upon Caitlyn as she searched the stove [D]. To her amazement she found a Ring of Jumping, which allows it's wearer to jump higher then they naturally can.

Quest 01 - Scene 01 - The Final Test

The Heroes find themselves in what seems to be an office. They were called upon after completing their training to become members of the Adventurer's Guild. The Adventurer's Guild is a group that formed a place where Heroes all over the realm can gather and train. (Many of them arrived as orphans and cheap labour.)

The goal of the Adventure Guild is to help the realm fight evil, solve mysteries, or even just to help the local crone go shopping when needed. All this is determined by staff members who receive requests and post it up on the board for all Heroes to see.

Our current three Heroes remain silent as the headmaster of the Adventure Guild begins to speak.

'You three have been selected after going through many applications, and I see that with your training you are ready to become official members. There is only one thing left to do and it is to take a final test. This test will determine whether you will be guild members or corpses ...'

The Headmaster and leader of the Adventure Guild is a renowned hunter by the name of Thadeus Stumblepot. He is famous for his adventures and his published bestseller "Monster Journal."



Beside him is the wizard known as Demitrius Snake. Demitrius is a mage known for his abilities to defeat powerful foes with his even more powerful spells. He is also known for his ability to make others feel uncomfortable with his stange and peculiar ways.

'If you have any questions please direct them to Demitirus, he has extensive experience and knowledge of the test,' says the Headmaster.

'Is the test difficult?' ask Catelyn, the semi-vampire warrior.

'Is it difficult?' asks Demitirius as his eyes glazes over and his face contorts to what looks like a pained expression. Suddenly, with a burst of energy he rips open his robes and revealed what seemed like a tight bodysuit beneath it. Then he begins singing...

Let me tell you of a band of three
Whose fate was a tragedy
They were Demitrius, Vlad, and Lenore
You attention I do implore
As I dance so prettily

Demitirius began to dance and prance around the room. The feeling of him swaying around made you shudder, but it was the music that accompanied his dance that made you cringe.

A victory we have found

By running a wyrm aground

And so it was with luck

A treasure was found in muck

But we weren't destined to win

My arrogance was a sin

And so I lost Lenore

My poor beloved Lenore

My beautiful precious Lenore

How I miss you very much

I mourn for you til dusk

My dear Lenore

So I dance for my Lenore

With one final twirl Demitrius stops his dance of forlorn and with a wave of his hand conjured up a robe and began dressing himself.  As he kept himself busy, Thadeus looks at you with eyes of regret.

'I'm sorry for your loss how did Lenore die?' asked Dream.

'She didn't die, she married my dear friend Vlad!' Demitirius said looking ready to dance again.

Thadeus begins to discuss the terms of the test with the Heroes, when suddenly Dream and Catelyn begin to wobble, and with a big thump they fall to the ground asleep. Being an elf and immune to sleep Silvius proclaims, 'No sleep spell will work on me!'

'That is true. But I have a better method of knocking out stubborn elves,' replied Thadeus, and with a speed faster then expected punches Silvius in the face. Silvius drops to the ground and the last thing he hears before succumbing to darkness is Thadeus and Demitrius laughing.

'Motherfu....,' mumbles Silvius just before slumping to the ground.

Info 001 - The Characters

To participate in this grand adventure we have three characters created by players. Each character is unique and have a lot to offer. Will they surive their task and rise up in the ranks? Only time will tell.

First we have a blind female human cleric by the name of Dream Catcher. Her patron deity is Scrotus the god of all that is round and succulent. Driven by her madness to please her patron deity, Dream gouged both her eyes and offer them as a sacrifice and her devotion.

This selfless action has made her one of Scrotus' most loyal servant and a fanatical member of the faith. As a sign of his acceptance, Scrotus has sent one of his guardians to keep Dream safe from death and a staff which contains many magical powers; one which is the gift of sight. This staff contains more abilities that will unlock as Dream continues her adventure in spreading the word of Scrotus.


Next we have Catelyn Irving. She is a female human warrior with a bit of vampire in her. It is a mystery on the event of her semi vampirism transformation. But, it seems like she has some of the attributes of a vampire but none of the fatal flaws of it's kind.

She is unaffected by sunlight but will get sunburned easily if precautions are not met. She has also a voracious appetite for uncooked meat.

In her mind she believes to be sexy but fails terribly at it. One of her biggest problems is he racial hatred for all that is Orcish. It is not known as to why she hated their kind. But, she could care less at their existence and even less at their extinction.




Our last character is Silvius Silverwhynd. He is a gay elven rogue. His background story is still a mystery until he is ready to tell it. But, from what we know about him. He has a penchant for hoarding; even a simple pebble seems to be a treasure to him.

These are our adventurers who will brave the dangers and keep us entertained hopefully for months or at least weeks to come.
