Hey Ralph,

So here is the outline I came up with for my next book. Let me know what you think but don’t steal my ideas. Ok, pal?

Thanks,
Ed

Our party of adventurers is crammed in a tunnel. The scent of rot, a lot of rot, hangs in the area. It seems to be coming from more than one source.

Kat sees a big pile of stuff that she does not want to touch.

In the middle of the space, they observe a circular object with gates and rails.

Brega hears wind rushing back and forth like breath… Could this be dragon’s breath?

Davian examines the circular object in more detail. The wood is worn, evidence that heavy objects have been moving around.

Davian casts light and observes the pile of bodies ... Read more »

Davian searches for secret doors but does not find any. Davian does a survival check for traps but did not find any.

Everything is covered in a thick layer of fluffy dust, there is an ancient dwarven feel to the place, it is dark.

Davian casts light on his short sword to light the way for the party to continue to explore the immediate area. Davian performs a trap check of the stairs and everything looks clear.

The party comes to an open room, it is a grand and cavernous hall. Two mining cart tracks run across the room, one track ends in a rubble pile. There is a set of finely carved double doors stand at the North end of the room. A staircase also winds upward.

Davian examines the doors for traps and finds no traps.

Kat looks down the tracks and hears something in the darkness.

The mouth of the cave in the mountains was narrow but oh so deep. We began our trek into the long dark and it was countless hours lit only by our torches, and the stale are weighed heavy on our throats. Eventually the ebon monotony was interrupted by the labor of long dead artisans who left behind the strident lines carved into the stone walls. This was dwarven handiwork without a doubt. Despite the change in our surroundings, the journey continued for what seemed like days. Suddenly we came across a huge obsidian door. Not to be discouraged, Briga cast a knock spell upon the great portal and it granted us passage. And what did we find beyond? More dark. More tunnel.

Not too much further though we came across a dim light ahead and the rumblings of what sounded like ogres. Konraad slowly peered around the corner looking into a large chamber festooned with large ugly ogres indeed. Two slept while the rest of the bulbous creatures huddled around a large fire pit, eating mutto ... Read more »

DarWynn's feline features curled into an uncomfortable sneer as the hircine monster holding her face inched the knife through her fur. Although she'd been interrogated before, this marked the first time since her mutation that anyone had forcefully shaven facial hair off as an intimidation tactic.

"How did you break in," Scryar repeatedly translated from the monsters' unintelligible language.

"You need to just answer the questions, DarWynn," he plead.

"We didn't break in!" She answered.

Scryar sighed and reluctantly translated DarWynn's eighth consecutive denial.

The monsters had shocked her with electrified irons to begin the interrogation, but could not continue without knocking her unconscious.

More monster gibberish followed as the shaving continued.

"Who is your Jack Coat leader?"

"What the hell is a Jack Coat?"

DarWynn did try to explain herself, relating the barel ... Read more »

An elegant lizard being leans toward her companion and says, “So you heard about how the group of adventurers insulted and badgered an ancient stone bear warrior into helping them, right? The bear opened a portal that was supposed to take the adventurers where they wanted to go.

The mirror portal transported them to a hallway. The hallway was filled with fog. In one direction, they heard moaning. Davian decided to go first into the fog and darkness and promptly disappears. The moaning stops. And Kat takes this opportunity to put on her armor.

A voice is heard in the fog urging the group forward. Darwynn is called forward towards the fog. She sees a light behind Davian and tells him NOT to go into the light but it turns out that the light is coming from a room and is not a tunnel of light to the afterlife.

Davian tells Darwynn that there is someone she needs to meet. Darwynn goes forward and looks into the room. She sees a mud pit and a crouching c ... Read more »
