[Leif]:

Leif is busy creating six continual light pebbles. The rest of the party does some things which are so dull I can't bring myself to recall them here.

[Leif]:

The party has returned from the forest with the Istusian clerics and are preparing to delve into the dungeon. They go down to level eight of the dungeon.

Leif prepares by casting a stoneskin on himself, followed quickly by protection from fire. Kay casts a prayer and Leif prepares a find traps. They are met by 6 cockatrices and 2 pyrolisks. Leif uses a flame blade in the battle, but casts invisibility on himself as well. For some reason Leif decides a fireball will help matters at some point, and casts it.

Phaedrus chops the Pyrolisk twice for 23 damage. Garz and Phaedrus both develop paranoia. magic missile -Leif

hold person -Kay

ray of enfeeblement -Bill

Massive party vs. Garz and Phaedrus melee ends with the two hogtied and held. They go to the clerics of Istus to get heal spells done on the two Paranoids. Zuphaitz will take one day to find the books on Cockatrices for Shzzt.

Nothing of interest.

Zuphaitz finds the books. The party goes down to the 8th level, but find a secret door along the way. Leif stays behind to study spells. 6 HD swarm of rats. 36 hp (rats) 10 pts dam each round Garz kills 7 rats. Slime kills 3 rats. There are 26 rats left 7 pts dam each round. Phaedrus kills 8 rats. Kay kills 1 rat. Shzzt kills 7 rats. Bill MMs 3 rats. Slime kills 2 rats. Garz kills 7 rats.

That's a lot of Rats, so they are all dead! The secret door has no obvious ways to open from the inside, so Quartz stone shapes a hole in the wall to open the secret door. They go back upstairs and rest. Although it was not recorded at the time, I believe Friedar was eaten down to the bones in mere minutes.

The next day, the party goes back downstairs. The party meets massive amounts of Rats, Giant Rats, Really Large Rats, and ROUSes. They are trapped by unseen Wererats into spreading themselves out and getting caught in a fireball breathed by the Reptile Rat, queen of this level. Phaedrus is the only one caught in the large blast area where he cannot dodge. He is massively burned. Kay goes to find Phaedrus. Garz escapes with his dead henchmen under his arms. (I think this now refers to Waiggy and Schweigy) Then the rest of the party escapes. Phaedrus loses no equipment from his encounter with the fireball.

Garz approaches the temple of Ulaa, the clerics rejoice (lots of cash forthcoming). Meanwhile, Leif asks about teaching classes for budding MUs. Trucran and Ybenso have 10 about-to-be-first level students who need four weeks of instruction. They stand to make 10,000N, and so offer Leif 1,000N for the four weeks. He refuses, so they offer 2,000N. Classes start on the 22nd

of Goodmonth.

Garz changes his name to Garkeim to match his new skin color. Altogether about 3" of rain. "Mike" hides in shadows in the Memory Moss and Hodge gets into a fight. Phaedrus Helps Hodge. The two Halflings follow the party. The party prepares to leave for the City of Greyhawk, and Hodge and "Mike" join them. The party arrives unmolested at the Stronghold of Franklin Gorz and

stays for the night. Party discusses each other and gets to know Hodge and "Mike". Phaedrus pays for Hodge and "Mike". Quartz casts know alignment on Hodge, "Mike", Garz and Shzzt.

Leif stays at the castle. That night he goes to a large puddle and casts a reflecting pool (clerics of Ehlonna cannot normally get this spell, but Leif prayed for it and has been given this spell by Beory).

Leif starts casting his reflecting pool at about 1am, and finishes around 3am. He studies the first room of Level 8. He also casts a detect magic through the pool. Only the web glows.

Leif then goes down to the third level and studies spells and strategies until he falls asleep. Awakens at 1pm and begins again. Studies spells until 7pm, and then goes downstairs to the 8th level.

Leif meets Tela Vision who gives the MU a KERNEL OF TRUTH to give to

General Public. His snakes fight the Pyrolisks, and then Leif casts a prayer spell. He then uses a flame blade to cut through the WEB OF INTRIGUE and sees the VEIL OF SECRECY. The pyrolisks now see Leif because of his attacks on the web, and Leif runs to the curtain and enters the

lair of General Public. The large, green-skinned humanoid looks up at Leif and prepares to level the unfortunate mage with a cone of cold. Leif says, "Wait! I've brought you the KERNEL OF TRUTH!" The Ogre Mage does not seem to pay attention, and continues to prepare to freeze Leif solid. Suddenly, however, the Ogre stops and asks, "The kernel of what?" "Jolanbreg" the command word PLAY for the kernel of truth. "Flelmushambel" the command word to turn off the kernel of truth Leif gives the kernel of truth to General Public, who learned all about the deception and flies off to "chat" with the Colonel. He will take 15 minutes to talk to the colonel and return, and there better not be anyone in his living room when he gets back!

Leif arrives at the third level around 8:30, exhausted. He falls asleep.

Allan meets the party in the form of a female human. Garz grabs the reins of her horse and tries to stop her just because she refused to acknowledge him, but she travels on by. She has business elsewhere (with Leif). The party goes into Greyhawk City. They book rooms for the month at the Wizard's Hat. Garz visits Silver Garter and meets Gwesch. Bill meets an ugly girl, who doesn't like him. Slime picks up two girls. Phaedrus goes to stop Garz and has to wait. Kay waits for him with Shzzt. Garz takes out the girl - she can't handle him. Frewser the red-head is next. Lasts two hours then Columbia is next. Lasts for 4 hours before the "Coke" wears off and he passes out. Kay drinks with Shzzt until she passes out. Shzzt goes to find Phaedrus and sits with him all night. RPxp!!!

4:30 am, Leif awakens and memorizes spells. At 6 pm, Allan arrives at Castle Greyhawk (again). He goes immediately to the entrance to the dungeon, and goes down the stairs. He enters the third level and goes directly to the room where Leif is working on his spells. He bangs on the door. Leif says, "who is it?" Allan does not answer. stoneskin

"'Come in,' I said"

Flies over to the door and undoes the latch and zips upwards. The girl looks up at Leif, and Leif realizes another(?) Revenant is after him. He leads her out of the dungeon and then out of the castle. MMs do no harm to the woman. Leads her out into the prairie evening and then returns to

the castle to find that everything is closed. Buys two bottles of Ulek Elixer from the Memory Moss and goes back to where Allan is. Drops Elixer on Allan for 9 pts. dmg. 31hp down to 22.

Leif changes into a bird and flies to the City of Greyhawk. Early morning everyone gets up. Phaedrus falls asleep, Garz is kicked out. Ogress awakens Phaedrus, and he chases Garkeim down, sword drawn, gets within one inch of his face and says, "Kay says you're not supposed to fuck any hookers." He turns around and leaves. Kay waits for Phaedrus by the door, declining an offer by Shzzt to join him for breakfast.

Phaedrus walks in the door, sees her and walks up, sits down across from her and says, "So where were we?" Kay gets up and goes to her room. Phaedrus goes to bed.

Shzzt decides to hawk his wares in the Bazaar. Sells a scroll for 553N. Gets fortune read. "The hard path will lead to greatness"

All have lunch. Quartz casts SILENCE.

Garkeim meets Otiluke (the mage)'s butler. Garkeim tries to win at arm wrestling. Loses to Gronk.

Roll initiative DEX adj. Then roll d10 and add to STR, and then add 1 for every initiative point difference between winner and loser. Loser of this roll rolls CON but subtracts the difference from the CON save. If they make it, it goes to the next round. Next round is straight roll d10 plus STR, but the advantage is calculated in.

Garkeim meets Rary in the bar. Quartz is drunk!

Leif arrives in City of Greyhawk and stays in the Brass Dragon Inn. Places spell book beneath himself, changes into a Black Bear, and sleeps until 9 am. Studies some specific spells. Allan travels along the road towards the City through the night, forgetting his horse back at the Castle. Leif memorizes spells until 5:30 and then backtracks to find Allan. Find him halfway between the lodge and the City. 49% chance of starting a prairie fire.

Leif walks back to the City of Greyhawk.

Party awakens for breakfast. They check out the Ruins. Kay casts a hold person on Garz. Too many of the party members don't want to go across the bridge with the fear upon it, so the party returns to Greyhawk City proper.

Party goes to check out the arena. On the way they stop at the High Market.
