Judah fires at the newcomer, inflicting light damage. Lorant's strikes against the newly awakened troll follow this. The first one misses, but the other connects, and the troll goes limp again. The trollhound in the pit bays and scrambles at the sides of the pit but is unable to escape. The other trollhound, however, bursts from around the corner, charging at Dylan! It misses, but the other troll also steps up behind it and swings at Dylan (Reach 10). This attack also misses. Troll 1, now free of the pit, concentrates on Lorant. The dhampir is hit three times and goes down!

Riori tries her starknife again, but this time the blade goes wide. Chumtooth hurls his harpoon, striking #2 square in the chest. The weapon does not stick, but it has done its work. Gargoyle 2 plunges to the ground dead. With a growl, Faengrim turns his attentions on the remaining gargoyle. It turns to flee.

Rogar's bolt strikes home, but the gargoyle plucks the bolt from its forehead and glares at the dwarf. Dantes casts mirror image and instantly, four dwarves stand in a group, each mimicking the actions of the others. Faengrim cuts deeply into the body of Gargoyle 5, causing it to plummet from the sky and hit the ground, dead. Without pausing, he moves to the next nearest opponent, number 2. Gargoyle 6 targets Rogar in retaliation for the dwarf's attack on its person, but the arrows fail to get past the dwarf's defenses.

The two remaining goblins' morale breaks completely, and they turn to flee, offering no resistance. As they go, another giant troll moves to block the doorway by which they fled. Troll 2 awakens and begins flailing at anyone nearby, though it remains firmly entrapped.

I'm going to be on short notice until Monday. I have a con this weekend (CONTRAflow in New Orleans) and I'm prepping for it now. So if I am holding things up, please go ahead and bot me, and I'll be back in action next week, though I will try to check in as often as possible. If you are in the area or attending, I'm running three Savage Worlds scenarios: a science-fiction romp titled Moon at the Edge of Oblivion, a weird west session called Night of the Grizz, and a sneak peek at the upcoming Deadlands: Dark Ages called Sins of the Father.

As Riori lays a healing hand on Dantes' shoulder, Chumtooth hurls his harpoon at Gargoyle 2, hitting twice in rapid succession. The gargoyle shrieks in response and fires twice at the captain! Both arrows hit, sinking deep into the cannibal's flesh!

Rogar aims for #6, but fumbles the shot, and the bolt goes far afield. Dantes blasts #2 with another barrage of magic missiles. Faengrim guts his target and, seeing it fall, moves to the next nearest target (#5), striking a telling blow against it as well. Gargoyle #5 drops its bow in favor of attacking its new foe hand-to-hand, as gargoyle #6 takes aim at Dantes. Faengrim is hit twice with a claw and a gore attack, for 10 points of damage, while Dantes is hit with an arrow for 9 points.

Gate bites the second troll nearly in half, then bursts from the ground and grabs the first troll, dragging it to ground as well. Judah looses a crossbow bolt that strikes a goblin between the eyes, killing it instantly. Lorant stabs at Troll 1 twice as Gate carries it by.

Chumtooth hurls his harpoon into the form of gargoyle 4! It falls from the sky and hits the ground with a hard thud. The harpoon returns to his hand, and he hurls again, aiming for gargoyle 2 this time. Again, the spear hits home, but the gargoyle does not fall. Riori hurls her starknife again, aiming for the same target and connecting twice! The wounded gargoyle aims at Riori and fires two shots, but both miss.

Rogar catches gargoyle 2 in the chest, but the creature ignores the toxins that coat the bolt. Gargoyle 5, however, is still succumbing to the effects of its troubles. Dantes slams another with a volley of magic missiles, but the gargoyle somehow stays aloft, despite looking very haggard. Faengrim launches a renewed round of attacks against his foe, leaving it battered and looking very much like it is ready to drop! Gargoyle 4 shoots at Dantes in retaliation for being hit by the magic missiles. One arrow finds its mark, inflicting 10 points of damage! Gargoyle 5 continues to flutter about helplessly. Gargoyle 6 fires at Rogar again, and misses twice more. Gargoyle 3 fights for its very existence against Faengrim. The first mate is clawed twice for a total of 11 points.

Riori calls upon divine power to heal her companions (everyone gets 15 hit points back). Chumtooth hurls his harpoon again, striking #4 twice in rapid succession. The gargoyle growls an unintelligible reply. Gargoyle #2 launches two arrows at the pirate captain, but only the first shot hits.

Troll 1 finally climbs free of the pit and stands up (invoking attacks of opportunity from everyone, if desired). Troll 2 continues to be munched by the Gate, and the trollhound cowers within the pit.

Every time I get the urge to reduce my footprint (as, like you, I have a LOT of digital material as well), I come across someone who says, "look at my amazing RPG collection" and I think, "mine rivals that, but if I reduce it..." I mean, do I really need a complete set of 1E, 2E, 3E, 3.5E, 4E, and 5E books?
Rogar's shot catches #5 right between the wings. The damage is minimal, but the effects of the poison are not. The gargoyle pauses in its flight and attacks, hovering and trying to clear its eyes. Dantes targets #4 with a blast from his wand of magic missiles, and it grins wickedly as flecks of stony flesh fly off. Faengrim slashes twice at gargoyle #3, hitting once and inflicting considerable damage. Gargoyles 4, 6, and 3 respond to the attacks against them in kind. Dantes is hit twice by the arrows for 22 points of damage. Number 6 misses Rogar, while number 3 drops its bow and engages Faengrim with tooth, claw, and horn, but proves unable to get past the warrior's defenses.

I've been packratting since 1983. Some of my stuff dates back to 1974 (my "white box" edition). During the 2nd edition, I collected everything, and during the heady days of the d20 boom, I was a freelance reviewer and received a lot of review copies for free. And that's just the D&D/d20 stuff. Add in my Savage Worlds collection, things I have kickstartered, my other RPGS, and having just about every module TSR ever produced, and you run short of shelf space very quickly. Though, to be fair, my GURPS books take up quite a bit of room, as well.
Riori and Chumtooth both launch their attacks, Riori taking to the skies and Chumtooth hurling his returning harpoon at the gargoyle that targeted his firstmate, impaling the creature. It immediately turns to stone and plummets to the ground, breaking into many pieces. Gargoyle 2 seems to take offense to this and targets Chumtooth with its bow, but both shots go wide.

Dylan and his spiritual girlfriend both attack the troll that is partially buried. The angered troll swipes at Dylan twice and snaps at the phantom. Both prove too fast for the beleaguered troll.

Rogar hurls a bomb, catching three of the gargoyles in the resultant explosion; two are blinded. He then seeks cover, but there is none to be found. Dantes steps up and casts fly on Faengrim, who attempts to deomralize them, which leaves the gargoyles shaken (-2 on attacks, saves, and skill/attribute checks) for 3 rounds. The two blinded cargoyles remain on their perches, but the rest take flight, shooting arrows at Dantes, Rogar, and Faengrim.

Moving to the next room (the one to the northwest). Two doors enter this vaulted chamber, one to the north and another to the southwest. Frescoes of cyclopes are etched in the polished walls to the southeast where a natural stone tunnel leads deeper into the mountain. Proceeding north, you pass into an open-air rotunda capped by a small dome that overlooks the valley and ruined streets here, connecting to a short rectangular hall where exits lead north, south, and east. A collection of clay tablets, each marked with strange runes, lies neatly stacked in the northeast corner of the hall. Dantes takes a cursory look at the tablets, which are written in the pictographic language of the cyclopes. They seem to be reports of some sort, but he estimates that it would take several hours to go through them in their entirety. An investigation of the room to the north reveals nothing of interest, so you backtrack to the rotunda and proceed up the staircase to the north. The staircase goes up 25 feet to a terrace, which offers a commanding view of the ruined streets and buildings below. Several statues gaze outward from its wall. To the northeast and southeast, a giant cavern opens into the mountainside where two tunnels lie choked with rubble. The statues depict ugly humanoids with bows aimed outward into the valley. Suddenly, they begin to move! One of them targets Faengrim with its bow, loosing two arrows in rapid succession at the mate! Its aim is particularly sharp (Deadly Aim), but the first mate is quicker and avoids both arrows!

Lorant's sword manages to slice the troll on the backswing, but then Gate bursts from the ground and wraps itself around the giant! Judah's toss with the alchemist's fire causes it to burst harmlessly against the side of the tower. The troll is now buried up to its thighs. The troll in the pit begins to claw its way to the surface, but it can't find purchase on the walls of the pit.

Both trolls ignore Dylan's roar, but the goblins scatter, and the trollhound cowers in the pit. The second troll moves forward to engage Lorant, somehow managing to keep its balance over the edge of the pit. It swings a clawed arm at the inquisitor, managing to scratch him for 11 points of damage!

"I will leave the weapon and return from where I came. The one-eyes will know nothing of this. I will not attack again. I will also leave you with this: Beware the one-eye leader. He is not to be trusted." With that, the trapper leaves the weapon behind and, if permitted, squeezes through the rubble and disappears. The weapon is a size Large dagger +2 that can be wielded as a shortsword.
Another barrage of attacks goes off. Chumtooth again hurls his harpoon, and this time, he strikes deeply into the creature's flesh! Riori unleashes another searing light, eliciting a shriek of pain from the thing, and Dantes adds another round of magic missiles to the fray. Rogar puts a poisoned bolt into it and Faengrim tries tooth and claw against the thing, but is unable to penetrate its hide. Though still alive, the thing is wounded. It begins to undulate towards a wall of rubble on the north wall with enough space that it might be able to squeeze past. AoO for Faengrim if he wants it.
