ok Mad here you go. to bad my leaders are not as strong as my wizards. going in on a 2 leaders seem to fall a bit easy for how hard they are to get. Gold could have been better for a hard encounter. also still do not see any moral effect from the encounters. likely a good thing for this one
Reconnaisance of unusual sighting in area LN by a patrol of the 2nd Witchlord:
Wizard Ry Vor (Power-7) offered his full magical potential to the patrol's efforts
knowing no harm will come from being a lich. Wizard Darco (Power-5) offered only a portion
of his magic to the patrol's efforts as he decided to cast a guarded attack spell and
protect himself from the unknown. Wizard Grolig (Power-5) decided to stay behind in camp
and will not be a factor in assisting the patrol. A patrol consisting of Marshal I
Belinis, General I Stohand, Captain I Hellswind, Power-7 Wizard Ry Vor, Power-5 Wizard
Darco and a dozen hand-picked troops rode ahead to investigate the sighting. It had been
decided that the patrol would persevere even if difficulty was encountered, but would
withdraw if the situation grew very perilous. The path is worn smooth, reflecting frequent
usage at some time, yet now moss and other vegetation has grown up as visual proof that
this passage carries little current traffic. A secluded vault with bizarre engravings,
here they encounter a huge dwarf dressed in full armor guarding his treasure chest. With a
quickness that belies his girth and a mighty bellow the dwarf lunges into the midst of the
patrol toppling several of the soldiers. Within a few seconds 6 soldiers died at the hand
of this evil opponent. Now the patrol's leaders fought with their full abilities. The
conflict was furious. The huge dwarf proved to be a very formidable opponent. The contest
raged on, its outcome in doubt. Waving in the wind, the Standard of Valor bolstered the
Witchlord patrol with hope. Witchlord leader Marshal I Belinis was slain in battle.
Witchlord leader General I Stohand was slain in battle. A new leader, Captain Chankana has
emerged as a courageous leader of much promise. The battle raged on, furiously contested
for what seemed like hours. The next few minutes saw 2 soldiers lose their lives, but the
enemy had been weakened. When the battle took a turn for the worst, Wizard Ry Vor stepped
up and employed his magic to distract the foe long enough for the patrol to regain their
ground. Captain Hellswind demonstrated uncommon valor through out the fray. Wizard Darco
cast his magic that severely hampered the foe. Wielding a great axe more blood was let
from the side of the patrol. The next few minutes saw 7 warriors perish. hope ran high,
though, as the foe was weakened. Finally the huge dwarf had been slain. The valiant patrol
was victorius. Upon exploring the area further, the patrol finds secreted in a false
floor, a black chest which contains the fabled Crown of Anzu! The Crown of Anzu while in
your ruler's possession will increase your kingdom's influence by 2 levels. Also found are
valuable objects worth 1,000 gold.
