*Ktan sits in the Cutlass talking to another patron while nursing his ale*
You be surprised where we been. I found beetle warren in mountains.
Show Brak. Is many kinds of beetle.
Fire, Bomb, Stinky, and Stag … Stag tough. Take many hit before die.
Wander warren and find fungus. All over.
Glowy fungus, hard fungus can shoot with sling.
Even fungus that scream.
*the patron next to Ktan seems to be completely unaware that Ktan is speaking to him*
Then follow warren. Cross wobble rocks. Squeeze through tight spaces.
Come to sign. Simple sign. Say DANGER.
Tell Brak. Brak squeeze through anyway.
Know what find? Find Death.
Is WORLD ENDING BEETLES!!
*the man next to Ktan nearly jumps in fright from the vehemence of the dwarf*
Them bring down mountain on Brak and Ktan and crush to near pulp. Would die 'cept for Wyrmtongue Rescue Team.
Griff pull me out of rubble. Him strong like Brak. Orc like Brak.
Brak get find by Teddik. Teddik small. Can fit in tight spaces. Squeeze in and find Brak in rubble.
Not go past DANGER sign 'gain.
*he shakes his head to emphasize his unwillingness to face the World Ending Beetles again*
*Ktan slams the remains of his ale and stands abruptly*
Time find Brak and travel 'gain. Find new place. Find new 'venture! |

Ktan finishes sweeping out the main hall in Bregodim's Halls.
Having spent so much time here of late he decided to spiffy up the place a bit. Given a chance he drops Dancing Lights in the main hall and by the former residences.
A touch of sadness catches him every time he passes through that section. For those that lost their lives and the family he never knew and then for his adopted family. The plains will never be the same again.
But he cheers up as he nears the forge area. His new family is growing. With the four clansmen in the Purple Fire Clan he has three new brothers.
First there was Brak, solid and true friend. Will go through hell and back for ya. Stand before the gathered might of the elves in order to save his fallen friend.
Then came Omi, an elf, who'd have thought, but he's a solid sort. Perhaps a bit too competent to stand among the clan but gets thumped right along with the rest. His over confidence keeps him from straying to far from the clan ethic.
Finally, Omi's twin, Emi, yet another elf, joins up. At first Brak thought he was alcohol induced twin but he's just another elf. They all look the same to the dwarf as well. He's good for running fast. The woolly mammoths up near the Sea of Ice chased him in circles for hours just so the rest of the clan could sneak by.
As he begins to sweep up the scrapings near the weapon anvil Ktan considers the life the Halls must have enjoyed in its day. His recollection from his childhood is vague at best. But the work being accomplished here in the forge must have been wondrous; truly a sight to see with the brethren running about.
Now it's just his new brethren running about and some occasional wanderers who like to dig for themselves. He doesn't begrudge them the use. It's good to have the Halls used for their intended purpose.
He finishes the anvil area and decides to empty out the recyclers and refill them with fresh coals from the main furnace, the heart of Bregodim as he thinks of it. Swiftfoot showed him how to run and held him safe in the grasses of the plains as he grew up but Bregodim might house him and his brothers now.
He wanders through the main hall again to consider the door to the right that leads to the dead end. If he spent a few hours a day digging here he might be able to carve a home for his new family. Brak would help, of that he was absolutely sure. Besides, you never know where you'll find a new vein. |

For two days, Brak and Ktan worked on the gate. Hacking at it. Bashing it. Bending at the bars. All the while fighting off Zombies attacks which seemed endless.
Then the glorious moment arrived. The bars gave. A little at first. Then more. Finally, Ktan was able to wriggle through the space and pull the chain.
"Was toughie," comments Brak.
"Aye, chum," the exhausted dwarf says simply.
Free at last and confident they can properly escape again the two prepare to assault the Mummy Throne room below. Since nothing could be found on this floor of Albert's wife they figured she was down stairs or they had re-killed her as one of the mindless hordes that had assaulted them.
But they had to be thorough. They had a job to do.
So with much preparation and prodigious spell casting. They geared up for war. Then went guerrilla style on them. Ktan used two Invisibility scrolls to conceal them.
They wasted no time. They rushed the throne dais. The obvious leader was the target.
Brak hammered away at him. His double-axe was casting flames everywhere from the Flame Weapon spell upon it.
Knocked the Mummy Lord to his knees and finally lopping the head from the body the half-orc screamed in triumph and turned to the two viziers in attendance.
Ktan was having troubles. He swung. *ktank* No effect on the mummy in front of him. "Did I cast Magic Weapon earlier?" he asked himself. *ktank, ktank* "Nope. Must have skipped it." He steps back a bit and casts it quickly. Not even bothering to stow his shield.
His blade begins to bite into the bandage wrapped bones. Smiling to himself he renews his attacks.
Within no time at all the two have managed to clear the room. The two of them search the room for Albert's wife. Still no sign. Anger wells up at the gravedigger for sending them on a wild goose chase and TRAP.
They boil up out of the crypt, destroying the zombies as they come to them. Busting out the door of the crypt itself in their anger with their enhanced strength.
Up the hill toward Midor and to the moat surrounding the city. There he is. Albert.
In his anger, he's grown callus and tells the man his wife is gone, "Life's a BITCH and then you die ... and then come back." His cackle echoes off the walls of Midor as he runs up the hill away from him.
The end of a memorable weekend. |
