The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 2/4/09

The Good:

“We need to send two people undercover into the city to check for a message from Melech in the local pub and gather intelligence,” said Ekkerrath. “I think it should be Rudy and Alexander. Humans blend in here and Halflings are everywhere, whether you like them or not.”

“Sounds like a good plan to me,” nodded Alexander.

“Uh, Ekerrath, can I have a word?” asked Rudy. They stepped aside. “If we send Alexander, he’s going to kill everything he sees until the guards take him out. It’s a suicide mission. We’ll need someone else. Cuppies, maybe.”



“Hey Alexander!” shouted Rudy.



“Yes, Half Pint?”



“I think you would be better guarding the people here in case Kraag shows. Cuppies and I will go infiltrate town.”



“Hm. Better chance for a fight. Agreed.”





The Bad:

The entire party crept through the alleyways of the city with the Halfling leading the way. It was a moonless night, but the clumsy dragonborne and the human with the glowing hand did not help. Suddenly an alarm sounded. Crossbow bolts twanged past them I in the night. If they didn’t find the entrance to the ancient tunnels soon, they were done for.





The Ugly:

The slave leader races to the river bank and dives into the river, trying to escape the bloodthirsty adventurers. But his escape is hopeless. The dragonborne wades into the water wearing full platemail. In a heroic leap of a truly epic athletic display, Ekkerrath manages to grab hold of the slaver leader. And fastening a tight grip, begins to drown, sinking under the depths of the water due to the weight of his own dwarven armor. The two of them disappear under the water as bubbles rise to the surface.





Player Quotes:





(1) Josh: When we last left our intrepid heroes, you slew a young red dragon.
Jeff: Wait. Who had the final blow on it?
Ekerrath: You mean that one time Alexander hit it during the entire fight?
Alexander: Yes. That’s right. I hit the dragon only once and slew him in one hit. My sword is awesome.

(2) Josh: You come across cityfolk.
Adam: I will stay out and expose myself.
Everyone: Woah, woah, woah now!

(3) Josh: I get tired of Rudy killing everything.
Bob: So he’s putting us up against 20 halfling thieves for our next fight.

(4) Josh: The chitinous reptilian spiders advance against you on the bridge.
Leenia: How are our horses responding right now?
Cuppies: Who cares about horses?! I’m hit over here! We’re getting killed by spiders here!
Josh: Reptillian chitinous spiders.
Cuppies: Are you chittin’ me?!

(5) (Mike rolls for damage on a back stab. A LOT of dice are rolled.)
Joel: Did he just roll for damage or drop his dice?

(6) Josh: The humans and eladrin are obviously evil slavers. You see women and children among their slaves. You feel hostile to them.
Rudy: How much are you selling the slaves for in the city?
Head Slaver: Three gold a head.
Rudy: We’ll buy them from you for 5 gold a head.
Josh: What?
Rudy: We’re gonna buy them.
Josh: Buy them?!
Rudy: Yup.
Josh: Erm. Huh.
Rudy (whispered): Then we’re gonna kill them. Right Alex?
Alexander: Yup!

(7) Josh: You’ve arrived in the village and can speak to the one owner of the general store to reprovision any supplies.
Rudy: Hi. Shopkeep.
Shopkeep: Hello, Halfling.
Rudy: How much much for that flowbie?
Shopkeep: $19.95.
Rudy: I’ll give you four gold.

(8) Josh: You relax at the bar while Cuppies engages in conversation with the bartender.
Rudy: I’m going to swipe Cuppy’s mug and drink his beer.
Cuppies: You notice it’s kind of lumpy.
