The game tonight involved dealing with a couple of native tribes of the Isle remarkably well. An agreement was made with one tribe that their enemy tribe would be eliminated. The group did engage them, but the fight did not progress well! However, this tribe allowed for negotiation allowing the group to survive even though a continued battle looked unfortunate.
So, we start next week moving past the native tribes and reaching the base of the volcano looking up at its dormant peak. Smoke still exudes from its crater, but it has not erupted in many, many years. The group looks up pondering how to reach the top, enter and then recover the supposed HUGE RUBY that lies within!
DM Speaks:
Yes, tough decisions have to be made but in the end the gem is rumored to be at the bottom of this volcano! That means climbing up the mountain and then down inside. Of course, if you recover the gem or not at the base this has to be done all over again.
Is there something guarding this fist sized gem? Possibly but I'd bet you think there is!
Viceak speaks- Me rather go inside the mountain than up the mountain! I be goin to use me ring to get me to the top. Me dinna like climbing mountains!
I am glad to see, we made it past the village. And now we stand at the foot of this monstrous mountain that we need to climb. Is there another way of getting into the volcano. This climb can be extremely dangerous, with no room for a bad skill check. I think taking off your armor , for this. Just might save your life , in another way, then battle. If you take off your armor, perhaps we can bury it somewhere, so that no one runs off with it. Just a thought.
Taladel speaks:
I am in somewhat of a quandary on this mission. I feel much climbing and moving will be key here...and my armor has me weighed down and making doing such very difficult.
If I take it off, it not only could be discovered and taken by natives (or worse)....but it leaves me at a great disadvantage in battling whatever is that volcano and guarding this gem we covet...I appreciate all advice and assistance!
