A Day in the Life of a Very Different adventurer.

Ok so there were three adventurer's in the small farming village of Derth...

"Wait a second THREE adventurers, have you been messing around with the new party code"

Nope, in fact its not even me controleing these guys

"Don't tell me your going to make personalitys for the shopkeepers"

Well i will be but thats beside the point. As you can probabbly tell by my profile I'm not nearly good enough to start a proper DitL and this isent one.

"Well what the -beep- is this then"

Roleplaying.

"Wait; what"

I'm trying to run a table-top RPG based of of the game.

"Ok..."

Well if i could finally get stearted. There were three adventurer's in the small farming village of Derth one was a Marshwiggle, one a dragon of indeterminate scale and one was a perfectly normal human (who could shoot lasers out of her eyes).

"Thats takeing the -beep-"

I will admit this is the group where i lumped everyone whos charicter proposals were jokes. Oh also the dragon has a 5 point penalty in Obsession(shiney) and Desire(hat), just be thankfull that the "paladin like dood with a HUGE sword and shiny armour, chaotic neutral i think, and can do magic" decided not to turn up.

As with any group of adventurers the first thing they decided to do was to try and buy half the town for the handful of loose change they had, but as Bretnar (the weapon shop owner) told them, those shiney little disks are no good here, we wan't gold.

"Wait a sec, how do they have foregin currency"

They were on a stelth mission to a wizards mansion, and decided to break down the door they had a key to.

"Wait so they allready have experiance and stuff"

Yes but then again they smashed down a door they had the key to on a stealth mission.

"Point."

Thank-you, fictional reader.
After realiseing there money was worthless, they decided to go to the largest building in town, which as anyone who's played ToME before v.4 will tell you is the mayors residence.
As the party arived in Mayor Frederick's house, they realised something was wrong, there seemed to have been a town defence meeting recently, and it haden't been cleared up.
As it turned out the old wizards tower of Kor-pul had had it's first inhabitents for over 200 years, and they were undead legions.

"What where did all this come from"

Well telling a RP group "Welcome to ToME, Quest added hit 'j' to see it" dosen't quite work (well unless there the kind that thinks that if you cant solo a group of 4-6 Wyrms you need a few more stat points and a few more 10 point feers of spesific non-terestial objects, and winges if any of them are even mentioned in game) so I had to do something, I've worked out the plot up to the Staff so far but you'll have to wait for that.

The dragon [Scaeles] quickly decide to go there, as well as noticeing that the mayor had a nice hat, and scared him somewhat. At this point the mayor decided to try to send them on there way sooner rather than later and so gave them the warning that when the town watch went for a scout, that the trolls left there mire and trapped them inside for the slaughter. He oferd them a place to sleep and also told them he whould try to help them with Kor-pul if they could wipe out the troll that the undead had controle over (2 of 3 party members passing a pursuade attempt- I had to give them something).

They then went in quick sucssion to the rune weapon and armour shops asking for free stuff to help defend the village, [has any DM EVER been that nice?] but all they got was the promise of a discount on armour should they find out about oknars [armoursmiths] brother who went off to the trollmires to try to save the village after the watch had been ambushed [I want'ed to build in the existing lore if at all posible].

The village had a cartographers in it, exactly as in FuryBand (which you should ALL have played), and when asking him for a map of the continent, (um no) not only was i surprised they had realised (or looked at my notes) that they had gone a long way but I realised i dident want them wandering around for weeks, so I gave them a 15x15 map centered on Derth.

After resting for the night and eating there second to last days worth of food, they decided to have a look at kor-pul or "lets go to the broken tower thing".

ok thats three squares away so d10 three times tell me if you get a 10, 7, 10 ok so something in the second killometer, d100 to see what it is.
  • rolls*
  • long pause*
  • gulps*

double zero.
Ok, you see a trapdoor and crys for help comeing from within.

Ok that was this weeks session (well half of it but were on break next week and I wan't to try to keep this regular) so come back soon for more tale of Scales, Lasermage! (the exclamation mark is an essential part of the name) and grimflood, in next weeks episode in which the party will find a stone.

Any comments whould be appricited and for those of you who are interested we are running a modifyed version of the wildside system with completly redone item generation and pre"generated" levels, although escorts and random quests will still be random. Also Darkgod if you do reed this and object I will steer the campain off of your game as quickly as possible.
