Okay... tonight was a heartbreaker.

Our party inside consisted of 4 brave elves. Three of us are roleplaying Wild Elves of Noble Linage and also sharing kinship of brotherhood. We went down a long well like tunel via narrow stone steps and through a secret door in the wall we came to some long tight hallways.

These hallways provided us with undead to defeat on our last weekend there, restarting this weekend where we left off, healer out of heals. We opened a few doors finding gnolls and evil humans in great number. We defeated these but a bug bear ran off and alerted even more! Okay to make the story short we kicked the shit out of the hordes bad men and gnolls at great cost. Thinking it safe to loot the bug bear reared its ugly head and threw its mace! Killing the youngest brother of the elvish royal family tragically! We slew the bugbear and fled the scene after listening and hearing a mob behind us.

Arriving very hurt and very emotionally wounded back to the evil town of Nulb, we broke apart our gatherings from the depths and were bashed in upon suddenly by the town mercenary league, who wanted our share!

Outnumbered and wounded we gave 300g to them and tried to leave, but we were told to drop our weapons and be taken prisoner. A very close and bloody battle ensued, leaving this bunch of mercaneros very dead and our surviving party of three still amazingly alive and on the run back to Hamlet.

I sense a lot of revenge in the future of the three surviving elves.

And then there were two...

Depends on if the slain elf was one of the brothers.

Yes the youngest of the Royal House of Ralpar. As oldest brother (IC) I feel responsible and even more dour.

The evil town of Nulb will be on the Revenga!!! list for a moment. My chars first vendetta!

Do it!  Do the whole effing village!  *evil grin*

Thats the way the Dink laughs... your quote was awesome!

This last weekend was a real population hike for the graveyard. Okay here goes...

Game began with one of our estranged party members, a wild elf we dubbed "Thrice-Removed"... a very meek and sneaky Ralpar cousin, trying to join back up with the main group believed to still be inside of the temple. (If you read my last news you will know we were not inside and can see what happened there)
Entering the temple alone it didnt take long for 10 Giant Rats to eat him. Death... Plop...

So as the main party in Hamlet licked their wounds, without a healer(who got sick IRL and did NOT SHOW!), two new recruits made their way into the social circle of the living Brothers Ralpar. Ruros and Ganth. The royal siblings of the House Ralpar, met and recruited Gnome fighter Ziggypopp and Elf wizard Skinner(his real name I do not remember). Both new heroes were eager to go inside the temple.

On stipulation of no heals we entered and dropped down the well to the bottom floor after a small discussion of no-priest = no turns lead us away from our usual hidden door to the a chain or corridors we traveled last week.

The bottom floor revealed nothing but a crystal dagger on a raised platform and some steps leading in all direction. After the evil ghost wraith was awoken, the gnome screamed in terror realizing that his swift grab of the crystal dagger had been responsible for this dilema! In a shriek of panic the oldest Ralpar brother said "We have no Magic Weapons!" as he already was booking up the rope to the main level of the temple.

In short the Brothers Ralpar climbed out in hurried flight, but to their horror the two new recruits fell in the horrible darkness below never making it out of the depths of the Temple of Elemental Evil.

(Roleplayer Shawn died first to rats then he made the gnome who picked up the crystal dagger... tough call thief)

And the Temple's Legend Grows

Man there were some evil runes on the front door, when people read them they grew very terrified and bothered by the place. I got a cloak and walked with it stretched out before me like a map, and attempted to cover it up.... only to end up taking a spell save and failing anyways lol...

thought I was getting one over on the Temple for a second

Like Snapple, this is good stuff!  Keep it up, please.
