Page 180 posted:You run down the stairs four at a time. You reach another landing before you hear the tramp of feet coming up from below. Thinking quickly, you hide behind an arras. Rolling...7. Lucky! Subtract 1 from Luck Page 140 posted:You can hear the clank of armour as a group of guards rushes past the arras, heading up the stairs. You continue down until you reach the double doors at the bottom. A guard remains on duty before them. She shouts a warning and runs forward to attack you. You must fight her. Rolling: (7+3)<(12+11): Temple Guard loses 2 Stamina. (7+12)>(12+6): Skroddy loses 2 Stamina. (7+10)=(12+5): drat, that's what you get for not killing the old man! (7+6)<(12+9): Temple Guard loses 2 Stamina. (7+7)<(12+7): Temple Guard loses 2 Stamina. Testing our Luck for the last strike because this is round five - (3+4)<10, Temple Guard loses 2 Stamina and dies with the regret of becoming a Sword Maiden rather than a Shield Maiden. Skroddy is at 15 Stamina.  : Ugh. I don't think I'm quite the man for this job. Maybe I'll get reincarnated as a ninja the next time around!Page 113 posted:You step over the fallen guard and, pushing open the double doors, enter the Inner Sanctum of the temple. A tall raven-haired woman, Hawkana, the High Priestess, is praying at the altar, upon which lies the Talisman of Death. Beyond the altar is a large marble statue of the Goddess wearing chainmail, her expression arrogant and cruelly beautiful. Hawkana rises and turns. She resembles the statue and is wearing a long dress of black chainmail. Page 222 posted:'How dare you desecrate the temple. How dare you interrupt me when I'm speaking with the Goddess!' she says softly, white with rage. 'I dedicate your soul to the Goddess.' She drives her fist into the air and chops it downwards. A pillar of flame descends from the vaulted roof. Hawkana unleashes her most insidious attack - the Contagious Yawn. Rolling...5 Page 132 posted:You are engulfed in flame. The pain is terrible and you can hardly see. Lose 6 Stamina points. For what little comfort it may offer, the other option still has us losing 3 Stamina. Skroddy is down to 9 Stamina. Page 59 posted:After that display of power, you hurriedly use your Scroll of Agonizing Doom. Hawkana draws her sword and advances on you, snarling with tigerish ferocity. But the spell works and a crackling electric blue aura surrounds her. She throws back her head and howls with agony. She is very badly hurt and staggers, but then exerts her will and recovers. You must fight the High Priestess. Hawkana is usually Skill 12, Stamina 14. The Vapors are a dud (more on their purchase in the post-book) and burning time consuming them loses us 2 Stamina, and the Amulet (unidentified upon acquisition) is an Amulet of Strength against Evil which modifies our skill by +2 for the fight. : That amulet belongs in a museum! ...on Earth!Rolling... (12+10)>(12+6): Skroddy loses 2 Stamina. (12+6)<(12+11): Hawkana loses 2 Stamina. (12+4)<(12+8): Hawkana loses 2 Stamina. (12+9)>(12+5): Skroddy loses 2 Stamina. (12+8)>(12+6) Skroddy loses 2 Stamina. (12+8)<(12+9) Hawkana loses 2 Stamina, is dismayed to learn that her death rattle is not as contagious as her yawn. Skroddy down to 3/17 Stamina. : Ugh, that was the worst one and a half liner I've ever spit out. AND I CAN'T STOP YAWNING!Page 44 posted:Hawkana collapses to the floor, lifeless. You walk to the altar and take the Talisman of Death. It is cold and heavy. At last you have regained it. Gain 1 Luck point. You look back at Hawkana and your scalp crawls. Her wounds are healing. Even as you watch she tries to raise herself from the pool of blood in which she lies. : I guess my particular thief associates aren't exactly the type of thief who'd coming swinging in on a chandelier to whisk me out of this mess, are they? I gotta be pickier next time.Character Sheet posted:Skroddy the Former Potionist Ratatozsk fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Mar 18, 2015 |

Page 31 posted:The doors are still magically sealed shut. You cannot force them open. You turn to see that Hawkana has risen to her feet and taken up her sword again. Her eyes are filled with malice. 'You cannot kill me. This time I will carve out your spleen.' She is slower than before but you must fight her again. The above picture is from a possible earlier encounter with Hawkana, included here because. Rolling: (9+3)<(12+10): Hawkana loses 2 Stamina (9+5)<(12+10): Hawkana loses 2 Stamina (9+8)<(12+8): Hawkana loses 2 Stamina, lets out a thundering death yawn and dies spleenless. : AND STAY DOWN!!Page 54 posted:You notice that a ring on Hawkana's finger is glowing with a green light as her wounds close up. Quickly you take it off before she comes fully back to life. You place it on your own finger. It is a Ring of Regeneration; regain 6 Stamina points.

That ring? Imbued with the evil will of Fell-Kyrinla, tightens until it severs our finger, and docs us 1 Skill and 2 Stamina. So let's exit its field of effect.Page 16 posted:The doors open easily. It seems the magic has faded now that Hawkana is truly dead. The thieves have been spying on you through the keyhole. Scarface says, The door was locked and we couldn't get in.' He leads the way back up to the skylight. If you still have Hawkana's ring, you feel it grow cold and see that it has tarnished to a dull grey metal. Its magic only works within the Inner Sanctum. Rolling...1,3<12 Page 163 posted:You land safely next to the thieves. Scarface looks surprised to see you. 'Bloodheart?' he inquires. 'Failed, you treacherous dogs,' you reply, brandishing your sword. Jemmy the Rat turns tail and flees across the roof-tops. Lord Min looks at Scarface and shrugs. 'I'm not fighting the killer of Hawkana,' he says. They swing under the eaves and climb like spiders to an open window. Not wishing to attempt this climb, you make your way back to the safe house across the roof-tops, and climb down to the street, where you stop to regain your breath before leaving the city. : Well, that could have gone worse. Now what?Page 235 posted:As you catch your breath three shadows appear on the road before you. Looking up, you see Tyutchev and Cassandra, with a hideous squid-like creature hovering in the air between them. One of the squid's tentacles is curled loosely around Cassandra's waist. 'We meet again,' says Tyutchev. 'Young Lord Min tells me you have been successful. Congratulations, you have done us a favour. Now you'll be glad, your peril is over. We are taking the Talisman.' : You really couldn't be bothered to summon a taller grunt?Character Sheet posted:Skroddy the Former Potionist

Stamina now at 6/17. Page 265 posted:Tyutchev's bastard sword, almost as long as you, hums through the air as he parries your first attack with the agility of a cat. The black cloak he wears makes it difficult for you to tell exactly where he is. Cassandra and Thaum, looking confident, stand back to watch. You fight Tyutchev. : At least you bastards have the good graces to take turns.Rolling...

Tyutchev becomes invisible. As you start back in surprise, Cassandra is upon you, her sword darting at you. Tyutchev reappears behind you, raising his sword to strike and Thaum is gesturing again. You feel threatened from all sides and you are hard pressed to defend yourself. : Seriously?

We've had one vote to consume our healing sap, and I think I'll throw in a provision on top of that unless there are objections.Page 248 posted:You are swept up in the talons of a great white eagle. : Oh c'mon Mom. You're dropping me off here?!?Page 258 posted:Store Street is an extension of Moorgate. Dinner we have indeed had. To refresh your memory of the advice offered at that time - "'You can leave the city by the postern gate in the cemetery. If you get into serious trouble you may be able to call on the All-Mother for aid. To do so cry, "All-Mother, nature herself, preserve me."' Not sure why this particular phrase didn't make its way into the last page, but whatever, we got to fly through the sky and that doesn't suck. Page 261 posted:You stop a passing student who directs you to the cemetery. You run down Pallbearer's Row, anxious to escape from the city. As you approach the cemetery, an ox-cart, returning from the market, loses a wheel and overturns, almost blocking the road. You run for the gap between it and the cemetery wall, but it is blocked by a man with a shaven head. : The urge to hunt down a loofa to see if I can scrub that...thing...off his forehead is startlingly strong.Character Sheet posted:Skroddy the Former Potionist
