Text of the page (random words):
is drunken state he fancied that there might be more treasure that he couldn t reach in the holes he sat up then stood up and began to push on the side of the box that he was currently making his base of operations after struggling for awhile he shouted to the others i do believe that i belch am in quite a pickle then corrin renewed his efforts to move the box the sober group of the entrance to the room realized what had happened and began to reel corrin out of the room which of course didn t work in his drunken state corrin had become stronger than any humanoid there and latched onto the box which was in fact bolted to the floor gorgath and heian pulled on the rope attached to corrin s waist and eventually pulled him out of the room mindartis incapacitated from laughing simply moved to the next door heian lacking a light source had reached around to grab the torch on the wall in the room and was promptly trapped under the pile of sand that dropped from the ceiling on top of him gorgath pulled him out of the sand and the search continued the second door was open cautiously and when no immediate danger presented itself they moved inside the room itself was decorated as if it had been a throne room at one time there were pillows of blue green and pruple satin with silver lace and trim thrown around the room and directly in the middle sat a giant golden throne corrin still drunk decided that above all else he wanted to sit on the throne and began tottering over to it a large stupid grin on his face gorgath sensing the danger held corrin until he stopped moving and stood still heian and mindartis began to search the room after they could find nothing gorgath let go of corrin and went to investigate corrin resumed his trek to the throne snuck up to it and climbed on top of the seat smiling corrin felt the seat give way and looked up at the door just above the door frame a small panel slid open and a jet of flame burst forth from it charring the alcohol soaked halfling who immediatly sobered up as corrin fell off of the seat he could be heard saying what smells like beer braised beef posted by mike at 6 05 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday january 24 2012 is that ale corrin resumed the lead at a slightly slower pace gorgath after the accident was far more cautious then before and used his eyes far more then he had been mindartis came in third and heian brought up the rear using his sunstone to light his part of the small passageway before long the heroes came to an open room three doors loomed ahead of them taunting them with visions of treasure and adventure behind each one before long a system was worked out and our heroes went about going through the doors starting with the one on the left as gorgath kicked down the door a treasure chest came into view and corrin rushed boldly into the room when he got to the center of the room the stone sank two inches under his feet and a door slid open over the door and began to pour sand down to obscure the entrance corrin lifted his foot and ran back to the door as the pressure plate was released the compartment slid to a close and corrin escaped the room but of course sand was not going to stop the travelers and a rope was tied to corrin s waist as he dashed towards the chest sand began to fall stop and fall again however upon reaching the chest which was checked extensively for traps the sand stopped it s descent corrin opened the chest very cautiously and pulled himself over the side of the chest and fell with a thump inside the contents seemed to be meager ten gold pieces and two casks of a strange fizzy liquid after lifting the second flagon somewhat jerkily from the bottom of the chest and into his backpack two holes in the chest were revealed to him i seem to have found some holes in the bottom of this chest he reached down into the first he grabbed onto a rock lifted it and found a pristine diamond i call the diamond mindartis shouted from the other room corrin then reached into the second hold and found a map of the caves they were in then corrin turned his attentions to the flagons he saw an opportunity to sample this fine liquid but checked to make sure it was safe first he began by wafting any stench towards himself and upon passing that test the liquid was swirled to check for contamination corrin took every precaution before finally saying i believe friends that i have found some grade a wizards brew and as soon as the last words left his lips he downed one of the entire flagons in three gulps and became exceedingly drunk posted by mike at 3 14 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday january 23 2012 the cave of death after a quick resting period heian rejoined the trio and made it apparent that nothing was wrong or sick throughout the cave there was nothing too hard to handle a few traps a few zombies nothing too especially bad further into the cave however the party came across an unsavory pitfall that allowed for some stories to be told that they might call embarrassing the order went as such corrin walked in the front as all brave halflings do the next was heian then mindartis and finally gorgath corrin marched proudly ahead and allowed the rest of the group to follow until they came to a quick turn in the cave where the first three stopped at a steep gravel hill gorgath being the dumb oaf that he is barreled ahead and tripped over all of them being small as all halflings are landed flat and was knocked unconscious mindartis and heian rolled down quickly after gorgath but corrin as i stated earlier was unconscious the three bruised and bloodied heroes at the bottom of the gravel tried for hours to wake corrin until finally gorgath called to him there s ale here corrin lept to his feet immediately let out a bark of excitement and backed up to the back wall of the cave then ran forward jumped and slid down the gravel slope sliding as smoothly as the dwarf stone riders across the underground sea of nishtikav close to the bottom corrin attempted a flip but landed flat on his face he stood brushed himself off and looked around the dimly lit room i see no ale posted by mike at 7 14 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday january 21 2012 now back to the good part after pleasantries were exchanged the four heroes began their journey back to the main camp on the northern shore the buildings that mindartis and heian had erected had been washed away by the rain storm so the group trekked back to the cave mumbling the entire way there camp was created once again and the group slept a long tired sleep morning came without hesitation and our heroes rose to greet the morn noting pleasantly that the rain had stopped discussion came about rapidly and discussion turned quickly into argument argument turned to fight and fight brought about the fuming silence that lasted for a few hours after that a unanimous decision to explore the mountain was reached and the group set off to begin climbing roughly two hundred feet up the side of the mountain they found themselves at the mouth of a cave as the party waltzed into the mouth of the cave groaning came from the back of the cave and the heroes found themselves face to face with numerous undead 2 zombies and 2 gravehounds dashed at the unsuspecting heroes missing here and there but scoring fatal blows very quickly gorgath had been pinned to the ground at one point however the matter of killing these creatures got on very quickly and then all was quiet heian was almost fatally ill and went back to the cave to rest and cure his wounds for the rest of the group a quick trail marker was placed and the trio continued on posted by mike at 10 05 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday january 20 2012 the ambassador s strip in the human land of tamnikot there is a place referred to only as the strip a meeting place for all races even the eladrin make the journey from the fey to have a say in the ways of the world the ambassador s strip was founded in 2000 b c when a pact between the dwarves and elves was forged after a great war that lasted more than a millennium there are four main buildings in the strip each a grandiose gothic castle that ties into the culture of the race entrenched within it s halls almost every race has it s own building save halflings as they content themselves with making merry in the ambassador s tavern in the center of the circular set up although the tavern has a main entrance that is decorated with elaborate carvings and runes there are many side entrances that lead to the front door of each beautiful building the tavern encompasses roughly 14000 square feet to accommodate all of the visitors to the land the second and third floors contain rooms if one is a halfling he or she may take any room they please however all other races are welcome to rent rooms the hall of those born to dragons is open to of course the dragonborn which welcome the feel of the roughly hewn walls of the fire heated cliff like castle dragonborn may come and go as they please but are obliged to stay at length in the unfamiliar territory of the human lands many dragonborn have entered these halls and learned the skills necessary to survive the journey back to their islands mainly breath weapons that were not available to learn back in tkaashni counter clockwise from the first hall is the hall of dwarves ancient machinery can be heard from outside the castle and seen quite clearly on the inside bronze iron and steel cogs clank slowly around in an unrelenting circle symbolizing the longevity of their race ancient dwarven carvings are set in the stone face to the entrance of the dwarven hall dwarves are never seen entering the hall for the first time as an adamantine portal to their main city thriknitik is set on the lowest floor elves make the next hall their home preferring the gothic style of the human halls with a few twists to make it homey overgrown vines of ivy cling to the sides of the castle pulling themselves up slowly as the years drag by flowers and trees spring forth from the rock the hall was built upon giving life to the strip upon entering the elven hall a sword mage will greet any non elven visitors to the mages college of the strip finest college in all of tinikara alchemy enchantments and all other types of magic are studied here free for all elves but at a minimal fee for all other races eladrin were recently added to the strip and plans have not gone into effect yet in the place of an eladrin castle there stands a flora covered portal to the fey the human city of martath radiates outward from the walls of the sacred streets of the ambassador s strip although there is no castle situated within the strip one was placed just outside the main gate to the city of martath martath was founded some two thousand two hundred years after the strip formed when humans began to flock to the area as refugees from the recent outbreaks of a civil war as more people settled down more families set up ties with the other races and now four hundred years later claims the title of tinikara s largest city human s make their lives here comfortable and are amicable to the numerous half elf clans that pop up around the city posted by mike at 8 49 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday january 15 2012 torukk the land of halflings torukk is an island nation that covers only about fifteen thousand square miles it s main exports are ale and spices ranging from ginger to cumin most famous halflings originated in torukk including corrin alemaster dendra forgemistress and faralda winemaiden halflings take pride in their professions and take to using their job title as their last names forsaking their original names for something more appropriate being small folk halflings are rarely violent but will strike back for wrongdoings done to them the civil war of torukk is one such example of their hostile sides along the edges of the island small human colonies fishing villages that rely on raiding nearby islands for more food than fish nations nearby include the human nation of tamnikot the forested isle of threnshek where the elves reside and tkaashni land of the dragonborn posted by mike at 9 56 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday january 14 2012 the story of corrin aledrinker greetings my name is corrin aledrinker what no no that would be corrin alemaster my uncle yes i m his nephew yes no well then back to my story not so long ago i admitted to myself that no matter how long i apprenticed with my uncle i d never be chosen over his eldest son to take over the brewery noting my increasing moodiness my uncle pulled me aside one day boy yes uncle i know you ve been irritable lately and i think i may know why i want to tell you a little story about myself yes sir when i was about your age i found myself in the same position you re in today i d learned all i could about brewing during my apprenticeship but was never going to become head brewmaster there i wasted three years moping about the brewery feeling sorry for myself and was starting to get into trouble when i was suddenly to my surprise dismissed stunned i walked out of the brewery and eleven hours later found myself two towns away farther than i d been in since starting my apprenticeship i was standing in front of a tavern so i went inside for a meal and a bed i quickly devoured a plate of pumpkin and duck and sated ordered an ale i tasted the ale and was astonished the flavor was unlike any ale i d had before they had three different barrels and i sampled from each early the next day i hiked as quickly as possible back home to the brewery i confronted my master only to have him smile kindly at me and say i taught you the importance of the water the barley and the hops surely you realized that different towns would have difference sources for these ingredients and thus would produce different ales i should have released you three years ago so you could learn this for yourself now go take what you learned from me and tour the lands of our people find your ale and set up a brewery of your own my uncle stopped talking and looked at me corrin yes sir what are you thinking well uncle i think i ve got to pack it sounds like there s a whole world of ale for me to discover and that is exactly what i ve tried to do i spent a year visiting all the taverns in torukk then another year touring the towns of the coast sampling ales in every place when i reached vantres i thought my journey was over for i d reached the northernmost point of the lands i soon realized however that i d caught the travel bug and acquired a taste for strange brew i had heard that merchant clippers carried ale both as ballast and as daily r...
