Stone Soules Summary IX: Finding Something Useful to Do

This was all very strange, but then Ludo tried to communicate with the creature. It said its name was Thurmond and that it was the familiar of a wizard we had recently been eaten by a ‘blue lizard as big as a bridge,’ the Behir. It liked Ludo because he was “little.”

Beginning 12 July 2174 with healing after the Owl Bear attack.
Despite some minor incidents with wild animals on the way back, we arrived
at Middle safely and planned our next move. It was agreed that we should
find out if there any monsters plaguing the nearby elven village, Sert. If
this proved unsuccessful, we would journey to the Wild Wood Inn for some
more adventure possibilities. If these proved unfruitful, we would move on
and decide when the time arrived where we would go. The splinter party
consisted of myself, Theo, Faranyn and his squire, Pap, Cassana, Ludo, Eli,
Claude, his bodyguard, Jerem the archer, and Xavier. Faranyn and Pap
brought along their warhorses, Lochinvar and Thymine.
Cassana and Dari journeyed to the elven village to seek out information.
Most of the elven villages’ problems were to the south and west near the
‘Dark Wood,’ inhabited by weird ‘demons’ and other minions of evil. There

Stone Soules 2

(that is, taxes:
we did taxes without identifying the items. The LP took the magic arrows
as a lot as their choice and our second choice got a magic scimitar; we
also got a potion but they got a magic long sword and a token and potion
Note that previously we traded our +3 SMALL shield to the LP for +1 Long
sword for Ceydric and +1 Chain for Cassana)
Little People 0
Faranyn 1
(the Scimitar turned out to be a +2 Intelligent Scimitar that strikes fear
into the hearts of your enemies, written in Archaeic, this Neutral Good
sword’s name is Baneful)
Bugbears 0
Stone Soules 5 or so
Owl Bear 0
Stone Soules 1
(over 500 HP and 11 wounds later….)

Seapoint Lightning Adventure #2: Sam’n Friends vs. the Evil Halflings of Hafney Hill

And the always pertinent message:
Most assuredly you WILL hang separately if you don’t stay together. However, lawful personalities are not very common among some adventuring groups….

Well, folks. Volume II in the continuing Lendore saga of Sam’n Friends adventuring group has suddenly and unexpectedly turned into the final volume. No matter what happens (okay maybe it wasn’t THAT unexpectedly!) the group will never have the same name or composition again. That mostly comes from the fact that Sam and most of the party is dead.
One major lesson:
The haunted and creepy nature can be a boon for people intending to play off it.
And the always pertinent message:
Most assuredly you WILL hang separately if you don’t stay together. However, lawful personalities are not very common among some adventuring groups….
Rest in Peace:
Ketone, Captain, killed by halfling archers
Sam, woodsman/Cleric of Phaulkon, killed by halfling archers
Sparrowhawk, obsessively stealthy and paranoid woodsman, killed by halfling archers
Blood, Cleric of Kord, killed ultimately by a halfling Commanded to jump to its death
Andrew, mage, killed by a falling rock
Dolgan, dwarven fighter, killed by an ant-lion-like beetle/thing
Loredo, woodsman, killed by halfling archers, dropped off stairs
one more fellow who’s name eludes me at the moment (??)
Captured:
Larry, halfling, by the halfling archers
Escaped:
Hecht, last of the Dept. Store halflings, into the wilderness of Lendore…
…alone…
