Brave adventures!

Hello again, world-wide-friends. Vrill here to provide a belated update as to the status of my new adventures.

But first off, what the deuce is going on over at Descent Into Depths? (Check the link at the right 'A sad little story...' to pay a visit. Be warned, though, the site is an EYESORE. The background is pink for the love of all that's holy. Pink! Not exactly the most heroic color. Then again, what goes on over there is a far cry from 'heroic'. I hope to remedy that situation in my own travels and conquests though. I suppose it helps, being a high level magic-user with access to lots of resources, spells, potions, ad infinitum, as opposed to living on a farm run by a kobold slave (my ex-assistant, by odd circumstance) and a hippie DRUG ABUSER.

Kids, JUST SAY NO.

HELL NO.)

Anyway, there are a couple of new guys who've signed up to play their farcical game! Unbelieveable! Listen, newbs, if you're reading this: you really don't know what you're in for. Quit now while you still have a soul. Actually I mean that 100% LITERALLY. Didn't you read the posts? You're hanging out with a bunch of SOULLESS DEMON WORSHIPPERS. Isn't that exactly the sort of thing that the mothers of the world were concerned about with this whole 'Dungeons and Dragons' game in the first place? Now it's come true. Think of your families. Think of your children. The measely xp you're going to earn slaughtering innocents, it's not worth it.

This will end in jail time, sirs. It's happened before. Your new 'friends'? It's true, I have the papers, they've spent time in JAIL for crime and murder.

Well, I've said my peace. But I have more important things to worry about then... wait a minute, they're rebuilding the temple to Zelba? With that awful illusionist? Fantastic. Just what we need, another crappy dungeon. Good going.

Anyway, I've been having some exciting, high-level adventures of my own. Many of my comrades didn't make it, succumbing to traps or powerful adversaries, but by my own cunning, efficient utilization of resources, and dare I say, some good rolling, I've succeeded at infiltrating the ruined city of Greyhelm! Knights of Armek plague the streets, but I've managed to make it to Castle Greyhelm itself. My suspicions have proved to be true... there are people trapped inside! A magical barrier blocks the entrance, and so I now labor to get it down so that I might venture inside, free the good, LAW-ABIDING citizens, and destroy the Knights. At last. Of course it would come down to this... it always does. My most ingenious plans and contraptions of no use, finally... it comes down to rolling dice in a massive, epic, big-boss end fight.

Bring it on, I say.

Bring it on.

I just can't believe it

They killed Apprentice Steve.

.

(That's a moment of silence, in the Internet.)

I really just can't understand. And Marivhon, too, isn't he supposed to be a monk or something? I.e., LAWFUL? As in, obeying LAWS? Just completely, absolutely unbelieveable. It's not like he was a big threat, or screwed them over or something.

You know what it is? I do. It's impotence. That's right. They were down in Hello for so long that Marivhon felt impotent. Unable to go on adventures, kill kobolds and owlbears, screw up important plans, that kind of thing. So he gets back, and takes his impotent rage out on the only guy he can. A Potion Guild Apprentice.

Well, sorry Steve, wherever you are. Hope you're not down in Hello. At least Marivhon made it mercifully short. I remember when they killed me. Took forever, because frickin' Cinder of all people had to make the call about something. So right, don't feel so bad. I mean, we've all been dead now, it's all good.

Sigh. As a mentor, though, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Anyway, readers, things are, shall we say, very interesting, down in Greyhelm. What a tough nut to crack! There are lots of Knights here, so we're being very careful. Now I know, though, that Marivhon and pals will stop at NOTHING to kill me, so I have to be doubly careful. Heh heh, don't worry my friends in cyberspace, this ol' magic user still has a couple tricks up his sleeve!

'Til next time, I remain...
