We passed by the dungeon of Greentree as we approached the city, and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck raise up. The boundary of the dungeon was a sudden and imposing wall of wood. The dark greens and purples of the treeline loomed towards the road; there was a palpable feeling of menace to the place. Birdsong, hoots, and roars echoed out from the forest. Several adventuring groups were stationed outside, and they all seemed on high alert. Defensive structures dotted the landscape around the…-

“Alright Balin, give me your hand.” “Ugh, how aren’t ya tired yet Pete?” “Easy, my vitality is seventeen.” “That’s disgustin’, how?” “I’ll tell you later. Focus on climbing.” I pulled and yanked Balin up on the boulder with me. I turned around to look at our goal. Only another hundred meters or so to go. We’d found a section of road that had gone around a large… hill was the correct word, but mountain felt more appropriate now. We’d figured that a climb over the…

“Balin, can we take a break here?” I moved to the edge of the road and leaned against the rock wall. The terrain was actually incredibly craggy, with canyons, ridges, and weird crevasses. It felt kind of like walking on an enormous grey-brown glacier. The only reason we weren’t horribly lost was the well-maintained road down to the main highway. It was a pretty gruelling hike, with the occasional sheer cliff to either side, though it did make for fantastic views. We were currently on one such…

“I’ve got all our stuff packed up Pete.” “Are you sure? I don’t want to leave anythin’ important behind.” “Because we have sooo much stuff.” “Hey, speak for yourself!” “I’ve got everythin’ you own packed into a tiny little sack.” “Touché. What about you?” “I’ll need ta go an’ get it from city hall later. I got some tools and things.” “Alright, I’m just about done too, we just need to wait for Bran.” “That’s the weird bucket ye’ve been…

“Scuse me Opal?” Wreck opened the door a crack and peaked inside the Doctor’s cabin. She had left Pete and Bran behind at the door for a few reasons, not the least of which was that the two of them were a bit stressful. The room was dark and smelled of medicine and sweat. Opal had a fairly well-furnished room considering the locale. Her floor was a rich red carpet, with designs that were somewhat out of date, but still chic. Her walls were covered in tapestries that showed the dwarven body,…

On the side of a cliff there stood a white stone gazebo. Mist fell from a great waterfall that stretched beneath it, vanishing into the clouds below. A black mountain rose up behind it, seeming to touch the sky. A circular marble table sat in the centre of the gazebo, and a group of cloaked figures sat around it in ornate wooden chairs. “It’s unacceptable!” A stately feminine voice bellowed. There was a crack as a fist pounded the table. The mountain trembled at the impact and for a brief moment the…

“You don’t understand! He’s lyin’ to you all!” Guilt. “He’s been insultin’ everythin’ about bein’ a dwarf since the accident!” More Guilt. “He’s gonna destroy generations of beer makin’!” Extra Guilt. “I just did what I had to!” I looked up at that, feeling a pang of anger rather than guilt. How dare he! He’d swindled me and messed with my head, and it was what he HAD to do?! “Be silent, Tim. We aren’t here to listen to your justifications. We are here to…

“You alright, Balin?” “Aye Pete. I’m glad you aren’t dead.” “So am I.” “ “Rude.” Wreck opined. “Gold is Gold!” The three of us retorted. “I admit none of us had ‘crazy Pete’s experiment summons monsters’ as part o’ the bet. I still won a good chunk off ya livin’.” Sam said as he put the leather back into his pocket. “They don’t really call me ‘Crazy Pete’ do they?” I asked, as my eyebrows furrowed. An impressive sight when you have eyebrows as bushy…

It turns out that Diamond is a fairly powerful mage. I say that because I had a front row seat watching her wipe out the entirety of the swarm by herself. The guards kind of helped, mostly by acting as meat shields while she rained down various forms of fiery destruction. Balin had stayed behind to rest and recuperate, but my regeneration had me back at full health. Honestly, it was pretty amazing, and I was man enough to admit that Barck had given me something nice there. My first experience with real…
