    Party Roster:
    Halacar, 5th level halfling fighter, 56 hp, played by Joel
    Standish, 5th level half-orc fighter, 55 hp, played by Katherine
    Brigling, 6th level halfling thief, 36 hp, played by Katherine

    Harry, 3rd level half-elf cleric, 18 hp, played by Chris Allen
    Zero, 3rd level human fighter, 14 hp, played by Kyle
    Jim, 3rd level human mage, 12 hp, played by Sean
    And the Pickup Party of Dread, the Larry Consortium, springs back into action�
    Joining the traditional four members were some one time friends Jim, Zero, and Duran, along with new invitees James, Flechette, and Harry (short for something I can’t quite recall). James is a powerful paladin wielding the scimitar. Flechette is a durable and dangerous halfling bow specialist who uses the short composite bow. Heri is our friendly neighborhood cleric.
    We tromped back into the cave with the hydra and dead gnome in it (among other things). Exploring additional passages we came upon a large “warehouse” room. It was immensely large, and we simply followed one of the walls to another archway. As we were about to pass the archway, Halacar felt something land on his head.
    He put his hand on his helmet, and he felt goo. And his hand was stuck.
    Then his helmet started rising in the air. He was being reeled toward the ceiling!

  • The Seventh Telvar Open Summary: The Mountain of Thunder

    21 July 2001 / 8 December 2191 B.Y.
    “Boom!”
    When an artifact is threatened with annihilation, it is said that even the Fates may intervene.
    Introduction:
    In 2191, deep in the Adventuring Reserve (which lies deep within the Imperial Realm), sits the Mountain of Thunder. It gets its name from the peak, which is a massive volcano that spews acid and gas every thirty seconds, on cue, boiling violently up into the sky. The Mountain is worshipped by troglodytes as a sign of their demonic gods, and they frequently throw sacrifices (and occasionally honored fallen comrades) into the depths from a platform in the interior. They have a huge Temple complex and city surrounding the Mountain.
