Many names we have Eru iluvatar, shepherds of the houm, Treants, Ents. We protect the forests from the orcs who come with their axes and fire. The Ent says getting angrier.

A kender you say...can't say I've heard of them. We must think on this for a time


Before you start thinking too much, could you tell us how to get to Boordor?

Scarab Sages

"And what of the Fabled Workshop of the Schwarzfey? I sighted a most tantalizing sign on the other side of the mountains some days ago proclaiming it to be nearby...yet I have yet to find it. To find it would be a privileged pilgrimage of few parallels to one of my craft."

Sovereign Court

AMH: MMMMMMMM.....Boordor......Why where do you think you are

TAK: Don't...Know...of...any...Workshop, Must think on this as well


Are you saying we are already in Boodor?

Sovereign Court

Treegoatee stops talking to the rest of the Ents and looks at you Alissa.Looks like they lowered the standards at ranger school...of course you are in Boordor

Treegoatee goes back and huddles with the rest of the Ents seemingly oblivious to your presence once again


Wait a minute. Boordor was still a week's travel when we took a side trip into that cave in the mountain. How did we end up here so quickly.

And how did you know I was a ranger? I never even said my name.

Taking the long hallway under the mountain you get your first look at the ancient kingdom of Boordor. Tales had described the land as a barren waste, but what you see is quite different....

Alissa: The hallway was long...but not that long

Treegoatee takes another break from his group and explains Ents...know..much He goes back to his group and begins the conversation from the beginning on the first subject they were talking about

Well, I know we're supposed to go to Boordor, but don't expect me to remember why. I think we have to throw a hobbit into a volcano.

Scarab Sages

"I believe it has to do with that ring we found...that, last I recall, you were wearing."


Oh this old thing? I hope we're looking for more like it. I want one for each finger.

Just because it was said in box text, doesn't mean the character knows about it.

Methinks Ents know more than they are willing to say.


Maybe if I take out my axe and torch they will answer our questions quicker?

He puts down his pack takes out his axe and begins to fumble with his flint and steel.


*sighs. Deeply*

Sovereign Court

Alissa: Sorry for the confusion, That was what you saw

Nasty: There are a herd...I guess that's the term of Ents deep in conversation in a circle off to the side seemingly unaware of your presence. Ahead of you the way clears...

Jenny: You try and try...but orc is orc


Don't sneak up on me like that!


Well, we have to fight them, right? I mean, you can get a lot of XP from a treant. And I prepared flame strike today.


Don't be so hasty. I know Bashy likes to dent heads, but aren't some of his favorite weapons made of wood?

Scarab Sages

"Agreed, I do not think it would be wise - we will need whatever allies and safe havens we can get now that we are in BOORDOR."


If we kill the Treants wont their bodies make really good clubs?


That's what I'm saying. Fashion their turgid corpses into proper tools of Bashy.


They can hear you, you know.


Once upon a time, there was a band of adventurers who WERE... NOT... ORCS.

Ah well, probably too late now anyway.

I make ready to cast a fly spell.


RRRAAAWWWRRRR???

Sovereign Court

Meanwhile as our group of brave heroes decide whether or not to attack the Ents.

The Ents continue their conversation...Oblivious of the group...and a clear path in front of you


Trap looks for anything interesting to look at and or stick into his pocket....

Perception
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

"Sorry sir but you are too slow and boring for me to pay attention to."

Sovereign Court

TD: Well theres some coconuts


*Heads down the obvious Path of Doom.*

Sovereign Court

Alissa: Nah, it's not a path of doom...As you leave the Ents to continue their loooooong discussion, you come upon a clearing and before you is what must be a 50' high wall built of huge stone blocks, the wall stretches for what must be two miles!. Evenly spaced along the wall are 28 square towers; each 100' to a side and 70' tall.In the center of the wall is a pair of massive wooden gates. Each gate has double doors that are 40' wide, 40' tall and 5' thick.


I walk through the gate.


Trap has drank from several coconuts and upon peeling them discovered a wonderous fiber that han be lit on fire and allows a spark to be carried around, he also find that the inside coconut might be slingable from his hoopak......

Hopped up on coconut water Trap runs around looking at everything....

He also finds that the smoldering of the emeber bursts into flames when he moves, fast, flaps it around or blows on it.....


I fly up on my fly spell before the carnage begins.


Nasty follows closely next to AM HEALER his stench wilting vegetation as they go.

"So I get first dibs on eating the first thing we see okay?"

Sovereign Court

AMH/Nasty: As you approach the imposing wall, you notice that it is manned by scantily clad dark skinned men. As you approach closer you see that in front of the wall is a 30' wide pit filled with with tar. The only accesible point is a 10' wide bridge that spans the pit and leads to the great gates.

A voice rings out from up high. What you...bizness here in Tanaroa

TD: Always a good idea to stay hydrated in these tropical climes.

Jenny: What could possbly happen...


What if it is a possible ally?


"We have travelled long through Jungle and I hunger."

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (13) - 3 = 10

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Sovereign Court

Ok...You come in

and with that the great gate begins creaking open revealing a huge village. The buildings are crude but sturdy as some are made of straw and others of stone. In the center of the village is a flat-topped hill that has been artificially leveled. In the center of the hill is a 10' tall truncated pyramid that is made of earth and faced with stone slabs. Set atop the pyramid is a huge alarm gong.

Some guards approach you Welcome to Tanaroa, we have food


Sweet. Is everybody here a stripper?

Nasty, you only get one serving, the same as the rest of us.


Trap suddenly breaks into song about how hungry Nasty is so that the people know what to expect.....Maybe I should have taken a level in bard???

Sung in my best Elvis.... Bonus points if you know the song and the movie, I stole this from!
Perform 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

"Nasty eat like teeth are out of style
Nasty eat like teeth are out of style
Nasty eating all the while
Eat Nasty eat all the night and the day
Eat Nasty eat all the night and the day

Nasty is an eating boy
He never get enough from fish and poi
He eat everything he don't care what
He even eat the shell from the coconut

Eat Nasty eat all the night and the day
Eat Nasty eat all the night and the day

Hey, Nasty little faster
Nasty little slower

Nasty eat like teeth are out of style
Nasty eat like teeth are out of style
When you say that stranger smile
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh .....

He even eat the shell from the coconut!!!"

For emphasis Trap shows his coconuts have no shells on them......

Sovereign Court

TD: I am stumped and my google fu is weak. It's a real b&@~~ getting older


The movie was Blue Hawaii the song was on the B side of the album "Ito Eats"...


Ok now that everyone has had a chance to watch his/her favorite Elvis movie....we can move on...

Sovereign Court

You all are free to explore the settlement, pick up supplies, seek out rumors, cause mayhem etc..

General Note: You are in Boordor, it is a Biiiiiiiigggg place with many areas to explore.


Gather Information: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17


"Yes where can I get a map of Boordor?"

Scarab Sages

"Would you kindly tell us how to get to Open Sesame Street?"


Why, are you looking for the puppet government?

Sovereign Court

Alissa: I assume you are seeking out information on the location of the tomb? If so Then you will get a wide variety of responses.

"The Tomb, why that's just a myth"
"Many have come to seek the tomb, none have returned"
"The last group here set of for Mt. Khanate the dormant volcano"

TD: A map of Boordor, why just visit the Elks lodge over on the east side

TAK: Sesame St...Hmmm sounds like you need a baker in the southern part of the settlement


"Gentlefolk, what do you know of a kingdom of oozefolk?" (I am assuming that not everyone here is an oozefolk, if so replace by:
"How did I end up in other lands and who were my parents?")
