Rhanée StrongArm, High Priestess of Bahamut and the Brown Witch of Klarr, asks a group of heroes to accompany her on a mission to liberate the woods in the North-Eastern corner of the Vesve Forest from the oppression of orcs, ogres, trolls, and the like. Answering this call are Namunhi (elven fighter/cleric), Nikolai (jedi), Alyssana (elven thief), Vanity (cleric), Sabuto (kensai), Red Wolf (ranger-turned-wolf), and Freke (fighter?) as well as Rhanée herself, Zauloman (her copper dragon), and Tabitha (Rhanée's apprentice). The witch first transports the party from Klarr to Amberwood where they equip themselves. Then, using her magic mirror, Rhanée brings the party to the their destination.
The party appears in the middle of a snowy wilderness. Red Wolf sniffs around for scents: orcs, orgres, trolls, regular wolves, demon, undead (faint), bugbear, a human, and a creature he doesn’t recognize. They follow the trail of the human. Freke joins in tracking. The scent leads into a bush. Red Wolf disappears into the bush. An (unseen) friendly druid talks to him and gives him directions to where the orcs and ogres are. He is the sole survivor of a party of 15 people. He says the creatures are working with a demon.
They have an encampment in the valley: a giant with pet giant weasels, ogres, orcs. There is a sacrifice pit where the demon does his “work.” They follow the druid’s directions to the encampment. After 40 minutes, they encounter four ogres hunting in the woods.
Red Wolf runs into the brush to flank. Freke, Sabuto, Vanity and Zauloman rush them. Rhanée also moves forward to initiate a psionic action. The ogres start chucking spears at the party. Sabuto almost single-handedly kills them all, with a little assistance from the others.
On the ogres, they find: 120 gp
As they are searching the ogres, Red Wolf senses a pair of giant weasels trying to flank the party. He sounds the alarm, alerting everyone. Red Wolf also senses multiple orcs coming in. They form a fighting circle, just as a wall of arrows flies at them. Tabitha goes down, and Freke crumples into a ball. Red Wolf runs off to one of the weasels, and most of the party follows. Rhanée and Zauloman rush the orcs to keep them off Freke. Freke gets hit with arrow fire while down, and he roars like a great cat.
Red Wolf engages one of the weasels. Sabuto charges back to get Freke. Meanwhile, the other weasel attacks Freke. Namunhi and Alyssana make their ways along the edge of the clearing toward the orcs and Rhanée. Sabuto stuns the weasel on Freke. Meanwhile, Freke has transformed into a weretiger, enraged and out of control. Freke attacks the weasel.
Zauloman flies around to line up the orcish archers and spits a stream of acid at them. It kills nine orcs and stuns four (out of 24). An ogre also shows up, and Rhanée mind thrusts it. Sabuto leaves Freke’s battle and runs to join Rhanée, who is not doing well. Some of the orcs switch to melee weapons and run to engage Rhanée, Sabuto, and Zauloman. Namuhni and Alyssana provide covering arrow fire, as Sabuto kills two incoming orcs.
Freke rips his weasel to shreds. Rhanée turns invisible.
The situation gets bleaker, as 30 more orcs arrive. Sabuto activates his samurai fear ability, and 17 orcs run away screaming. Red Wolf kills his weasel. Freke charges the orcs coming in on Sabuto. Rhanée casts sleep on Sabuto’s orcs, freeing him to help Zauloman.
Namuhni and Alyssana get swarmed by orcs. Sabuto kills the ogre with a ki strike. Rhanée sleeps all of Alyssana’s orcs.
Three more orcs recover from the samurai fear and start heading back. With them come 24 more orcs. Rhanée invokes a gold dragon's fiery breathe at the incoming orcs, incinerating all but one of them, including the slept ones. The heroes finally clear out the remaining orcs. More get unfeared and return, only to run away again when they see the carnage the party has wrought.
The party takes time to heal up and search the bodies.
Ogre treasure:
Battleaxe
Earthenware jug
9 gems
Gold lapis and turquoise necklace
Eeps: 529 each
Rhanée wants to continue, but finally agrees that given the state of the party, it might be best to retreat back to Amberwood, heal up, and try again. She suggests going back and bringing the druid with them. After a short hike, the witch disappears and a minute later steps through a doorway in the air. Using her magical mirror, she brings the party back to safety.
BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO CONTINUE THIS GAME!!!
