[DnD] Of Kobolds and Castles - D&D Learning Adventure I

2 Dice Rolls Maybe this time?

Truckbus emerges from the waterfall, shocking the living daylights of the kobolds hanging out in the cave - and is it any wonder? He looks like a wet, dangerous dwarf. He smells like a wet, dangerous dwarf. And he snarls like a- well, the kobolds probably got the idea.


Charge to AG25
Melee basic attack on Minion AH25.


Despite Truckbus's sudden appearance before him, the kobold blocks wildly and manages to deflect his attack. For his trouble, Truckbus gets a nice bruise on his forearm. Undeterred, the dwarf turns to another kobold and winds up for an even stronger attack.


Shift to AH26
Earth Spikes Minion AI26


This, too, misses. The waterfall pounded on Truckbus's head a bit too much, perhaps.




Nature's Wrath to mark AH26 and AI26

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

1 Die Roll Strength of Stone

As Truckbus attempts to go for the gold, a voice echoes in his head.

"Now, Truck, I thought I told you. You cannot hear the voice of the earth when you are blinded with greed. You would risk that silence for mere gold?

The dwarf stops in his tracks. It had to be his imagination. He glances at his sword. The old man is long dead. There's no way--

His thoughts are rudely interrupted by a spear in his behind. Truck yelps as he realizes that in his hurry to get to the gold, he has allowed Daituk and himself to be surrounded by kobolds.


Shift to AG23

Marked.


I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Truckbus makes another attempt to split a minion in two, but ends up swinging his sword uselessly instead.

"I really need an axe. A good old dwarven-made axe."
Mark all adjacent with Nature's Wrath.


I was speaking idiomatically.

Finding himself surrounded over and over again was starting to get tiresome. Truckbus deflects a blow, spins around and handily scalps the kobold standing behind him.

The newly separated cranial section falls into the water. In time, the nutrient-rich blood and brain matter from the hapless kobold will carry out of the waterfall, where it will nourish strings of green, slimy algae growing in the less turbulent parts of the stream. Fish will dart in and around the algae, and as they do, the algae will lend them succor. These small fish in turn get eaten by bigger fish, and the bigger fish? By other fish, maybe. By birds and beasts of various kinds. An occasional bear. Certainly, various tribes of subhumans and humans - a troll looking for his next meal. Human fishermen seeking sustenance for their own.

Terry the fisherman is one such fellow. As he opens his fish trap, a contraption that is essentially a wicker basket with a one-way door, he smiles. A good catch for the previous night. Enough for himself, his wife Alhana and his little girl Olive. Enough for him to sell at the market for some extra coin. He needs grain and fresh straw. And maybe a toy for his little Olive. She will be so delighted, and that will do his heart some good. There have been whispers. Even with only seven summers on her, Olive is already bigger and more muscular than other girls her age and thus needs more to eat. Her peers had already started teasing her - "You big fat troll! You Olive Ogre, Olive Ogre, Ogre Olive har har har." But Terry would not let his daughter wilt under the teasing. "Now, you listen to me, Olive... those other kids? They're just jealous because you're so big and strong. You're human because your mother and I are both human, okay? So there's no way you're an ogre."

Alhana watches from a window as Terry brings back the catch, a dreamy smile on her face as she thinks about that night, seven years ago. Oh, but that ogre was so handsome, and his cock was soooooo big.
