View Full Version : I'm Your New Dungeon Master

Yep. I've decided to drop this facade of posting stuff, which seems to just make people mad at each other, and I'm going to type posts like I'm running a role-playing game now.
And so we begin:
You are walking along a dirt road that leads through a dense forest. It's late afternoon, getting near dusk. You should be in town within the next two hours, however.
There's nary a cloud in the sky, and you see some squirrels hopping around, looking for food. Some birds chirp a little in the trees. And despite the hour growing towards nightfall, it's unseasonably warm outside.
Minutes later, you are ambushed by orcish raiders! There's six of them, wearing leather armor and brandishing different sorts of swords and axes. They demand you pay them the toll of 25 gold per person.
Quick! What do you do?!?

The dungeon master gets bitched at relentlessly and finally gives into letting you reroll your character. However, you must make your rolls out in the open and you only get to toss away one "bad" stat, since he's using the "Roll 3d6 seven times, drop the lowest result, place to taste" method.

Consider yourself a level 1 character equipped well enough for your stature and can go out adventuring without too much fear. Also keep in mind that, if this thread has ANY success, you'll have a large group to back you up.

Although your -1 charisma applies to the general populace, it does give you a +2 comeliness factor with young female NPCs, since "chicks dig scars." +3 if you come up with an awesome background story as to why you have a scar (but it must be a story that impresses NPC chicks).

Since your companion has seen fit to shove you at the nearest orc and you were already going to attack, you have initiative. Roll to hit.

You cast Magic Missile at the darkness. Since you impressed the DM by knowing about the "Head of Vecna" routine, you hit a hidden orc that was brandishing a crossbow. He clutches at his gut as he falls out of the tree and takes extra damage. He falls unconscious.

Whoo hoo!!! My elf mage shouts out "Take that, orcs!" and makes rude gestures to the orcs. Then he positions himself so Dread's character is between him and the orcs. Might as well give him a chance to get more scars so he can be even more of a babe magnet!

Unfortunately, your companion is refusing to share the Cheetohs. If you took any thieving abilities, you could try and filch some while she's busy rerolling her character.
Until then, you gaze in wonder at Jeffrey's character's awesome display of butt-kicking.

The orcs take great offense at your rude gestures and make way to attack you. However, since you saw fit to shove Dreadstar's character in front of you, who saw fit to shove Winslow in front of him, the orcs are attacking Winslow, giving the two of you an opportunity to do something else.

You engage in combat with an orc with a mace. A few minutes later you have dispatched the goon, taking only a slight bruising here and there. You are now helping out Winslow, and there are only five orcs left that you can see.

The stupid orc stands stunned watching you act like a drunk. You take him completely by surprise and drag him to the ground. He hits his head hard on a rock, leaving him prone on the ground and short a few coppers. You now have a free action against him.

Dreadstar has managed to slip off into the shadows, and the Hobbit runs squealing behind you. You may want to knock an arrow pretty quickly.

You take a step back and fire, scoring a direct hit in the lead orc's eye. He falls back onto the orc directly behind him, knocking him to the ground. The other two manage to not trip over the bodies.

Gary Gygax said that female dwarves have beards, too, so it's difficult for non-dwarves to tell them apart. Shortly after Gygax wrote this in Dragon magazine, they published a series of adventures (A1-A4, the Slavelord series) that included nine pre-generated characters (from the original tournament version of this series). These characters were shown in all of the artwork in the A-series, and the female dwarf, Elwita, was consistently drawn with a beard.

And I believe Gygax got it from Tolken because I believe that's mentioned in one of the LOTR books...I suppose Tolken could have gotten that from some earlier folklore about Dwarves though.

In total, there appears to be about 6 vials of unidentified magic potions, 154 copper, 59 silver, and 23 gold pieces. Various ordinary weapons include the axe Shell picked up, three short swords, two maces and a crossbow with 25 bolts in a pouch. There's also seven very beat-up sets of leather armor that will require repair and LOTS of washing to get the orc-stink out of. Three of the orcs were wearing bucklers. Aside from ordinary gear (i.e. backpacks and waterskins) the orcs do not appear to be wearing anything else.
Dusk is starting to set in, and there's a bit of a chill in the night air starting to settle in. You may want to consider either force-marching for the next town due northwest on the road or finding a clearing in the woods to make camp.

There dwelt a knight
Who was known
As the righteous Sir Greenbaum
And many dragons
Had felt the might
Of the smite
Of the righteous Sir Greenbaum
I chanced upon him one morn
When he'd recently rescued a maiden fair
"Why, why art thou so forlorn
Sir Greenbaum, is thy heart heavy laden?"
Said he, "Forsooth
'Tis a sorry plight
That engendered my attitude bluish"
Said he, "I don't wanna be a knight
That's no job for a boy who is Jewish"
All day with the mighty sword
And the mighty steed and the mighty lance
All day with that heavy shield
And a pair of aluminum pants
All day with the slaying and slewing
And smiting and smoting like Robin Hood
Oh, wouldst I could kick the habit
And give up smoting for good
And so he said to the other knights,
"You may have my possessions and my goods
For I am moving to Shaker Heights
Where I've got some connections in dry goods"
Farewell to the dragon's paw
And the other swashbuckling games and sports
I'll work for my father in law
When I marry Miss Guinevere Schwartz"

The potions appear to be in clear containers, and you can make out that three are of the same color while the other three have different colors. It's tough to say exacly what type of magic those last three came from, but if you were to wager a guess, the three that have the same color are probably healing potions, as they bear the distinct color of healing potions you've seen elsewhere.
The next town isn't too far off. You can make it with a few hours to spare before midnight if you go without too much incident.

The potions appear to be in clear containers, and you can make out that three are of the same color while the other three have different colors. It's tough to say exacly what type of magic those last three came from, but if you were to wager a guess, the three that have the same color are probably healing potions, as they bear the distinct color of healing potions you've seen elsewhere.
The elf picks up the potions, with the probably-healing ones in one hand, the others in another hand.
Gestures with one hand. "These three are probably healing potions, but we won't know for certain until someone takes one of them." He pockets one of the healing potions, sets the others out for someone else to claim. "I recommend these be passed out among those who don't have healing abilities of their own, in interest of spreading out a valuable resource."
Gestures with other hand. "These ones, I have no idea whatsoever. We may be able to identify them if someone takes a small sample, but that's not a sure thing. Anyone up for the experiment?"

How about we see if we can find someone to identify cheaply in town first?
And I have healing abilities already so the rest of you are welcome to the potions. Particularly those with inadequate armor.

Are you sure you want to do that? I may have to make a roll on the potion miscibility chart. And which mystery potion did you take? Since I forgot to identify the colors earlier, you'll note the healing ones are light blue. The other three are a saffron yellow, a murky brown and a royal purple.

You take a swig of the light blue potion and feel pretty good. The pain goes away, and any wounds you had start fading and stop bleeding.
*hopes someone is cover the tracks as he scouts ahead*
You scout up ahead and don't run into anything dangerous. You note that there are some fresh horse tracks on the ground, along with some peanut shells. A sign on the side of the road points west to "Garcondale" - the nearest town.

Okay, many people are now standing in battle stance awaiting to see what happens with Rachael and the rock going near her head.

I turn and see a coyote trying to get at the horn. I quickly prevent him.
I reach into the backpack and pull out a little leather ball I use for juggling and show it to the nice coyote, bouncing it up and down in my hand and occasionally faking tossing it too him.
"Here, Trickie! Like the ball Trickie? Nice ball! Wanna play, Trickie? FETCH!"
...and I toss the ball over the conveiniently located cliff on the other side of the road.

The Dungeon Master gets Chex Mix dumped all over his head. He hopes that it's the sweet and salty brand, and that the floor is relatively well-kept. He then yells out to the dumper, "Have you rolled up a new character yet or what?!?"
