The Amazing Adventures of Gimble Nimblehands: The Korthos Saga - Sacrifices part 2 Party: Gimble - Leader, superior intellect, total package of skill and modesty, there’s no ‘I” in team but there is one in “Gimble”… Thrella - Not as nice as her brother but boy can she fight! Sylander - Dead brave! Or maybe dead, brave? Ulag the Silent - A hero of few words but stout heart and strong arm Sihil - Newcomer, honourable and brave! In the quiet docks of Gimbletown*, a small party of desperate heroes gather to once again attempt to rescue some captured prisoners. Making some final adjustments to his new helm, the majestic, heroic, and modest hero Gimble surveyed his newest team. Sullen Thrella looked as unimpressed as always as she fussed over her lizard, Mash. The sickly looking Sylander remained untouched by the coastal weather with a winter tan to shame Thrella! Stoic Ulag looked eager to return to the sahuagin hunt. The newcomer Sihil stood silently, almost as if awed to be in Gimble ’s presence (or possibly just preparing their weapons… who can tell?). As they travelled the now familiar route, Gimble ’s directions kept Sylander on course, going past the mysterious steam pipe until they reached the cove where things went so poorly on their last visit (despite Gimble ’s heroics). Heeding the wise words of Gimble , the team stuck together as they entered the water and prepared to advance through the tunnel before danger struck! Looming out of the depths, a giant Octopus burst forth and grabbed Sihil and then Ulag . As I Gimble softened it up, Thrella managed to swim forward on Mash and slay the beast. Beaten and bloodied, the group returned to shore to recover. Gimble pointed out the rotting corpse of the bear they had slain last time and much fun was had as he recounted the story of how he had saved the party last time. In the morning, with their wounds recovered, the team finally entered the tunnels. As their eyes grew accustomed to the dark, they realised they were surrounded by sahuagin and sharks. Charging forward, Sihil carved a bloody path through them, his skill with a blade impressing even the mighty Gimble ! Ulag and Thrella combined to create a pink mist in the water as they struck down all before them. Sensing their breath giving way, several of the party rushed forward looking for escape options as Gimble investigated the bodies. Finding some useful looking trinkets, our hero looked up to realise everyone had disappeared up a tunnel. Waving cheerily as Sylander signalled to him, Gimble followed on. Spotting an exit, Gimble emerged to a scene of chaos… Thrella was covered in blood and Sylander was crouched over her seemingly tending to her wounds, meanwhile, Mash was stood attempting to protect their master ( Gimble was impressed by the steed’s bravery and loyalty), and Ulag and Sihil stood side by side with the kind of teamwork that usually takes years to perfect. All around, sahuagin filth roiled. A seemingly unending mass of blades and tridents attacking the party from all sides. Gimble burst out of the tunnel with all guns blazing. His arrival was enough to turn the tide. Thrella struggled back to her feet and smote down an attacker as Sylander healing kept the party on their feet until Sihil managed to slay the leader. As quiet descended on the place, Gimble was able to find several prisoners. While they had gained entrance, they couldn’t leave these prisoners alone and so the team escorted these poor souls back to their loved ones in Gimbletown* *Previously known as Korthos
