The tor

2009-02-04: The Tor presents a surprise

As the huge rats attack everyone springs to action. Everyone draw their weapons except the human who in a mighty voice eagers us on in the battle ahead, giving us of his strength in his faith in the morning lord. We quickly dispatch of the rats through canny teamwork.

We decide that we must explore these three newly opened doorways before we can settle down again. The gnome decides she will stay behind guarding our backs making sure no one will enter through the main entrance or attack us from the rear from one of the unexplored openings.

During our exploration we comes across a trapped chest, two bugbears, a undead huge warrior of some kind, a large spider and some kind of impish looking creature. The trapped chest got the better on two of us but was relieved of its treasure. The golden man and the wood elf dispatched the bugbears quite easily. Then the Lathandrian was the hero then we defeated the undead warrior by holding it a bay with his faith while the golden man bare down on it. The wood elf was the mastermind in defeating the spider first he discovered the trapping net covering the entrance to the room where the spider resided. Secondly he showed us his might with his bow killing the spider in a single shoot after it had reviled it self by webbing me to the wall. The impish thing let out a unnerving shriek when we neared its lair, making some of us hesitant. Not me though as a ran up to it ramming my dagger thought it killing it instantly.

The treasure found was plentiful, several hundred silver coins, a large mace of master work quality and a couple of magical items.

As we settled once more the Lathandrian offered to healed our wounds and we gladly accepted his offer. The wood elf skillfully prepared the rats and grilled them over the fire. They tasted quite different from what I'm used to but still eatable. I don't think I would have accepted it if it weren't from the rush the afternoon had presented.
