Kzarchak's page

Once the drow, Kzarchak, leaves the Barn, the doors quickly shut behind him. Bofus, on immediately trying to follow him, you realize that the door is already locked. Perhaps Thordak will have a chance to prove that he can hit the inside of a barn when he is locked within it.

Bofus, because there is no mechanical lock on this door, you may not attempt to unlock it. You believe that the drow has laid a wooden plank across the double doors to brace them shut.

Common is the language which we speak unless otherwise stated. The elf's common is clearly not as a strong as his other languages. As for the disarming, I am not aware of a way to disarm an opponent using a crossbow. If someone finds something, let me know, but it may be a mute point.

"Now listen pointy-ears! Oi'm gonna count te three, an' if you're still holdin' those silly wiggly knives o' yours, an' trespassin' in moi barn, yer gonna get a bolt where ye don't want it! Thordak says, sighting down the length of his crossbow."

...One!

"Drizmak!!!" the drow swears. "Enough of this, we will not fight today, Thor-dakk. I will leave you in your barn, but I have no doubt that we meet again!"

The dark elf, without turning his back to the dwarf, backs up and quickly departs the barn, exiting through the front door.

"Oi am called Thordak, an' as Oi was here first, ye'll be puttin' away yer' blades now!...If ye don't like it, get out!" Thordak says louder, his eyes smoldering. "Unless o' course ye want a bolt between those pointy little ears o' yours..."

"Thor-Dakk, I am Kzarchak and I have no fear of your pitiful threats! I am drow and I come from the Darklands! One tiny cut from one of my bolts and you be in the black fire of your mind!"

"Ha! I forget the bluster surface dwarves show when they are frightened! Truth be told, I bet you have trouble hitting the inside of a barn when trapped inside with all the doors shut! We be in barn. Let us find out! Do you fear the deep dark of night, Thorr-Dakk?!! "

Egdom's Barn

Bofus, finding a door on the second floor (at -B8 and -B9) opens it a crack and peers outside. The rain is pouring down and there is thunder outside. You do not perceive any others around, so you climb down the north face of the barn.

"Let the fire die? Who are you that comes up from tha underdark when everyone's sleepin'? An' with drawn blades no less! Now Oi'll tell ye one more time, if ye don't want any trouble, ye'll be puttin' those away now..."

"Tell me your name first, Dwarf, and I will consider telling you mine, but do not ask me to put my blade away while I am in company of surface dwellers! I am aware of your kind and your treachery! If you do not want . . . trouble, I suggest you put way your weapon!"

Below is the battlemat. There is an open room with a loft about 15 feet above the ground. The left barn shows the loft (wooden floor), the right barn shows the stables and the ground level (dirt). Please note the ladder on E8.

Egdom's Barn

"An' you're not very good at openin' doors, elf! Ye'll be droppin' those blades now... "

Without light, this being is difficult to see. He is a dark shadow against the wall. As Thordak speaks to him, there is a silent pause during which he does not appear to be dropping his weapons at all. After a tense moment the silence is broken by his edgy voice.

"The Dark Elf is quiet. Humans make door that is not quiet! Now, easy dwarf! Let the fire die if you do not want pain! I escape from rain here. Now who are you that stay with beasts when the burning light is in hiding?"

A silhouette of an elf as black as the night stands along the wall with two weapons drawn, a razor toothed scimitar and a smaller razortoothed dagger. He stands motionless for a long moment before replying. A cold icy voice breaks the silence. "You have good vision for a surface dweller, dwarf!"
