Dungeons&Dragons

The party decided that the only way they were going to get anymore information about where Norax’s sister’s whereabouts, was by going back to Frodo’s forest.  Here they encountered an entire trope of goblins.  These goblins were not like any they had fought before.  For most of the battle our party was on the losing side, as one goblin was able to bloody anyone with no more than a single blow.  With the use of some special attacks, Lena was finally able to bring him down.  With the heavy hitter down and out, the last remaining goblin was captured and interrogated. He proved himself very useful and full of information.  Norax was able to learn that his sister was not kidnapped, but given away to the Hob Goblin leader as some sort of payment for saving the fathers life. It was now almost midnight so Karkat, Lena, and Galen decided that they would sneak back home to sleep, and tomorrow they would rise early and help Norax track down his sister.  Norax and the captured goblin Gobby would spend the night in the forest.  Gobby tied to a tree, and Norax in Trance as to rest, and watch him at the same time.

The party had to do some quick thinking with their rope and an dagger in order to reach the cave with out injuring themselves.  When they arrived in the cave, they received a very cold welcome from the four goblins residing inside. Lina and Karkat made minced meat out of the first two right away, meanwhile Norax fell into a trap and required the assistance of Galen to get out again.  The presence of traps really made the party uneasy and they second guessed every step they took untill Norax was about to kill a third goblin and the for teens had the final goblin cornered on the crow’s nest.  In a fit of rage over his sisters disappearance Norax let out a crippling Cascade of Light, left this head goblin hanging on by a thread.  Of course Karkat being the rash, bold teenage boy that he is finished off this final goblin before finding out where Norax’s sister was being held.  Fortunately the party was able to recover a map from this head goblin.  Unfortunately it was too dirty and would take lots of care to clean.  So at the moment Shena’s whereabouts were still unknown.

On the way to the Dark Cave, Lina, Galen, and Karkat were stopped dead in their tracks by two gray wolves.  From the get go the wolves had the upper hand.  Fortunately a stranger was there to help them defeat these hungry predators, that stranger was Norax.  He fought valiantly along side Lina, Galen, and Karkat, gaining their trust by healing them when they needed it most.  When the battle was over Norax revealed that he was trying to defeat the goblins as well.  He had traveled far, from the city of Gondor in search of his sister who was captured four nights ago by a goblin.  Norax promised to help the local teenagers clear the Dark Cave of the goblins, and in return Lina, Galen, and Karkat vowed to help Norax find out where his sister had been taken and help him rescue her.

Lina, Galen, and Karkat decided that it would be in their best interests to first check out Frodo’s Forest.  There they encountered three goblins.  Two of which were slain one by Lina, and the other by Galen.  The third narrowly escaped with his life after being fooled by Lina into divulging where the goblin head quarters was located.  He was able to retreat farther into the forest while Lina, Galen, and Karkat contemplated what to do next. 

Time Stamp: 10:15pm

You are a bunch of rough and tumble teenagers looking to prove yourselves.  You live in the small town of Eldor, over the past two weeks there have been more and more Goblin attacks.  The town’s people have become worried and your families are considering leaving if an end does not come soon.  You have decided to take matters into your own hands and have met in the clearing to decide how to handle the the problem.  It is 10pm, and you must be back in bed or dead by 6am for fear of the wrath of your parents, and the local incompetent militia are enforcing a strict curfew from 9pm-6am.  You each carry 1 torch, flint, pint if water in a sheep skin, dagger, 15 feet of rope and of course a back pack.  What do you?

What stared out as a humble game of Dungeons and Dragons played on a 4 months calendar because it was the only thing we could really draw on, and because we had nothing to do one Saturday, has turned into an epic adventure.
