What Went Wrong???

Oh the humanity.

Kyra and Merisiel sit beside the dying embers of their campfire and lament the loss of their second companion. After watching Seoni take a blast of lightning to the face from that damned blue dragon and being forced to bury the charred remains, they now talk in whispers over what happened to Valeros.

Was he drunk? Was he cursed? Were the very gods themselves against him?

Not one single success in any check made exploring the Death Zones. So many 1's and 2's on the die.

And they are suddenly left with a sinking feeling inside. Are they even going to be able to find and defeat the villainous runelord or was everything for naught?

(Even though two of my four characters have died in the last two scenarios this is the most fun I have had playing a game since getting Talisman 2nd edition for my birthday when I was 11.)

Sometimes the Dice Gods turn to us and laugh.

Calistria and her enjoyment of Chaos influences them. They watch us roll our 12s and 17s and the occasional 20s. But then they turn on us and enjoy the looks on our faces when a d12 rolls a 1.

5 dice with a total of 11 when you needed at least a 20.

Why, oh why did they do that to us?!?

And you can hear Calistria's little giggle as you discard all your hand (as the damage cannot be prevented) and your draw comes up short ... death.

Great little story. Thanks for sharing. My condolences to Kyra and Merisiel.
