Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Claudius smiles and laughs softly at the young magic-user's words. With a nod of his head, he stands tall and exclaims, "I remember now! Watch closely!" The old looks at the standing stone and utters a a sharp phrase, "G'nar Tua Kratult Aka!" In an instant, there is a blinding flash, the sharp crack...

Claudius smiles at Otis's questions about bats, ogres, and barrow wights...but takes keen interest in Bizenghast's boldness. Turning to her, he bows gracefully and says, "My captors wished for me to remain here within this fort. I've always been guarded by at least one of them at all times. When you...

Otis - Fighter Otis seems surprised when the creature speaks and he's able to understand him. He nods and says "Hello, Mister Claudius. I'm Otis. Otis of Guyre." He allows the others to continue any conversations with this fella. He'll keep a watchful eye out just in case of any treachery, but for ...

Susanna, terribly confused, looks to her right and left to take her cue from the others. She'll lower the crossbow, but keep it loaded and ready. When he speaks, does the growling stop? Yes, you hear no growling when Claudius speaks. On the contrary, his voice is pleasant to the ear with a musical ...

The growling does indeed sound familiar. You remember it from your last visit to the ring fort. The path to the east is narrow, about five feet in width. The path rises climbing to a central point in the fort. You can see a circular opening surrounded by more ancient ruins of stone masonry...dwellin...

Fungo followed by the others makes his way around to the western side of the ring fort. About halfway, Fungo notices a narrow alleyway sloping upward to the east, the main path continues southward.

A distinct growling can be heard from somewhere east, echoing through the alleyway.

Actions?

All of the pottery and furniture has the patina of age...hundreds of years or more. The pathway reaches its peak where the alleyway connects it. Fungo continues to the north. He sees more dwellings, many of which are collapsed. Eventually Fungo finds himself at the north end of the ring fort. A pair...

Fungo moves up the path to the right. He takes a peek in a doorway every now and then and finds not a bit of treasure or food! There are copious amounts of clay pottery and rough wooden furniture and an occasional rat that scuries away. As Fungo reaches the midpoint of the path, he once again sees a...

Fungo the hobbit scampers off into the ring fort. He is confronted by an immediate decision. Left or right? He remembers that the last time he was in the ring fort, he was at the other end of the fort. The right path climbs uphill and he thinks that the right path leads to the area he met the barrow...

Moonglimmer is in the entrance of the fort, but she will only see the hobgoblin as it comes around a bend on the left side to engage Susanna. Otus is keeping watch at the edge of the encampment. He hears the commotion but cannot see it yet. Susanna swings hard at the hobgoblin knocking it off its fe...
