Adventures in Dagger Falls

Game 2: 01/03/07

05/09/72 Midday

Near eastern edge of anarach. In a mountain pass.

We discuss whether we should ride on westward, or turn and follow the human... We decide continuing further.

Later in the afternoon, we crest the peak of the pass.

Several miles off to the right side, we see a shimmer, that perhaps is a pond or something else. Streaching out to the horizon in front of us, is the desert.

We decide to head to the pond, around 5pm. Near circular, 40-50' across. Number of places along the shore, are places to tie up animals, like long hitching posts.

Autumn takes care of the horses while everyone searches around. She notices that the water is extremely cold, despite it being a warm day.

Eziel casts detect magic after looking around for tracks.

After taking off my armor, I climb a large stone pillar, to get a good view of the surroundings. Looking down, towards the desert, I can see the road stretches down... There is a campsite by the desert. I also notice that there is a trail south of the road, south-southeast of the pond, which leads off into the hills.

There seems to be a rusty iron piton pounded into a crack, showing that someone else has been up here before.

Takes several hours for Valyn to head out and return.

We camp for the night, planning on exploring the trail in the mornings...

I cast some curing on Relyan and Amathest

05/10/72 Morning

Autumn cames to call this pond Dragon Spring...

After several hours, we come to a switchback (Huge) There is also a split in the trail. (Horses go South, hard path to north>)

Up ahead 150yards away. I see several humanoid things looking down at us... looks like there is a ledge.

After a bit of watching, an Ogre steps out and watches us.

We head down, find the "stables" find 6 horses... the horses are shod and tack is covered by tarps.

Eziel casts 'Detect secret doors'

We hear the orcs/ogres marching down - So we decide to run off their horses, heading out with our horses...

I count perhaps a dozen orcs, and one ogre.

We get out of sight, and they don't follow.

We discuss what to do... many options are Mentioned- Including climbing, sneaking,

We keep riding, and a single orc is following.

Autumn and I approach, and she starts shouting to him to talk to him.

He asks for the soldiers, and Autumn mentions looking for soldiers from the south. He asks who we are searching for... Autumn mentions the Emerald Flame... orc says no. Autumn mentions 4 descrions (serethin is the 4th)... The orc says they may have someone like that...

Orc ask, 'What will you give to the red-tooth Tribe'?

Autumn says the horses... orc says "and?"

autumn says... "Don't know if you know what a sargent is, but lets start at 100g"

Orc says no and turns arounds (I cast detect evil), Autumn bluffs, he turns around...

Will Save: Something about him doesn't seem... Right.

He steps back, and I detect evil.

He says, "Why don't you think about it, and come back tomorrow."

We ride back... discuss, I mention that he is evil... and something was wrong.
