DCM: Arwen, Parts 5-8

Venturing into the Library(and a bag of beans)

Characters:
Arwen, my fighter/mage
Galen, Allen's paladin
Tak, previously Matthew's thief now henchman of Arwen
Clifton, D.M.

After a while, Galen and Arwen decide to venture into the next level of the ruins. Two weeks had passed, Galen had gotten a two-handed +5 Holy Avenger, and I had recieved information about a book of brewing a restorative potion. Fortunately, the book was rumored to be just where we were headed. We traveled there and found a vast library. While looking around at the books I got attacked by several golems standing on the tops of the bookshelves. We finally destroyed them (after me being knocked out once), and rested for several days. After we felt better we sorted through the books we finally left. I brought a few with me and Galen brought some with him. I stuck the books at home and rented a wagon. I took the wagon there and got 160 more books for myself. I went back to find Galen had gone off and killed me a hill giant for the potion of restorative brewing (to make it I will need a unicorn's horn, trolls blood, an eye of a giant crocodile, and a giants bones). I was delighted and got the bones I required. We were on our way to go adventuring on the rest of that level(with Tak he had just gotten out of jail) (there had been a door leading out of the library), and all of a sudden, there were a band of thieves from the guild after Tak. We beat the crap out of them and got a bunch of stuff. Incuding a bag of beans. We threw a bunch of them and all sorts of magical things happened. I got a dollhouse, too. In this dollhouse I could enter it even though it was really small. I went in and was greeted by pne of the invisible servants who serve the master of the dollhouse. I went ahead and took my stuff home and spent a few weeks remaking my spellbook(it had been destroyed by the effects of a bean).

Quests for the Restorative Potion

Characters:
Arwen, my frickin' awesome mage/fighter chick
Galen, Allen's paladin
Hakkan, Adam's cleric
Clifton, D.M.

Okay, I went to consult a sage(It took 12,000 gp!!!) to find out where I could find a unicorn's horn for that had been on the list of things needed to make the brew. He told me that there was a renegade warlord named Ock to the south who had one. We ventured south to find him. After some time, we found some tracks of an extremely large foot. We followed the tracks untill we finally saw it in the distance. It appeared to be a large humanoid on top of a metal encased, tusked beast. I was about to fireball it when he distracted me by shooting a handgunn(no misspelling) at the ground next to me. Then he ran. We finally caught up to him after about 3 days. We battled him and eventually killed him. Apparently, the beast is Galen's "mount", and I got the unicorn's horn.

Gotta get Galen back!

Characters:
Arwen, miss spell-sword the awesome
Galen, Allen's paladin
Hakkan, Adam's cleric
Clifton, D.M.

After Galen dropped us off at the town, he went off to pollish his armor. After several days we realized he had been gone a bit too long. We( Hakkan, Tak, and I )ventured out following the tracks and found bandits had stolen some of Galen's stuff. We slew them and took the stuff into the swamp the tracks led to. We encountered some lizard men who said that he was staying in their villiage( the witch doctor of this town had given Galen a map to his holy avenger in exchange for an eye ). So we went there to see him and return his belongings. When we got to him he was happy to get his stuff back, but he wanted to slay this monster that had been killing lizard men from the villiage. So we went and got to the cave. When we arrived we found a lake that we had to cross first. Once across we climbed the cliff walls. After we got over them, we went throught the caves and came upon another lake. there were step-looking things in the water, and I threw a rock at one. It sank. Then the giant crocodile attacked. We fought it off and I took its two eyeballs( one for the potion, another for a backup ). We went across the body to get to the other side and came upon a vast cave with a large lizard-thing with wings( dragon ) was perched upon a mass of treasure. We attacked it, and it flew up and then attacked us. Suddenly, Tak shot the lizard through the eye into the brain with the hangunn( 2 or 3 natural 20's in a row! ) and killed it. We grabbed some treasure and went back to the villiage, but they said they wanted us gone so we left without a word of what we had done. We got back home and went to Pete's to see if he had gotten troll's blood by now. He, being Pete, had, so I bought some and mixed the potion for stat restoration. After a week I had my stats back and was better than ever. Galen pulled out a Deck of many things. Tak, Galen, and I each drew some and I got some XP, Galen got a 4th level fighter henchman, and Tak got 18 Charisma, a keep, and lots of XP. It's easy to say Tak sucked the luck out of the rest of us for that night, and he's only an NPC! After that, Hakkan bade Galen and me goodbye.

Rusty and the Skull of Chargg

Characters:
Arwen, my elven mage chicky
Galen, Allen's paladin
Rusty Senisas, Adam's one-eyed half-elven fighter/cleric(also known as Ol' Rusty Eye)
Don't Forget This, Kyle's human fighter
Clifton, D.M.

We started this adventure meeting up with Rusty and DONT FORGET THIS who came to visit our home because it is all of the adventurer's guild our town has. We decided that the more the merrier so brought them with us to the library and we unbarred the big double doors and out jumped a Greater Yugoloth. So we were getting whooped till Rusty cast moment on himself and shot an row right square in the middle of its head, killing it. Beyond it was a room with a pedestal with a skull on it and stairs beyond it. The skull was human in appearance and had two horns coming out the top. I later identified it to find it was an anti-demon magical item, that when willed to do so, will cast the spell fireball 3 times a day. The fireball ignored all imunities of fire! Naturally, since I was the best suited to it, being a mage and all, I got it.
