Dungeon Master (GM): Ok, so do we continue onwards to Conyberry???   Myriandor: Sure   Buddy D.: sure i need som hp   Buddy D.: 3 of us are pretty beat up its ok   Myriandor: Conyberry?   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok, as you approach the village you see it is a small one built on top of old ruins, in similar fashion to Phandalin, you know this village is settled by farmers and visiting miners whom come here to rest while prospecting. Up ahead you see what looks to be an inn with a horse stable to the east of it, as you pass by two homes   Myriandor: Head for the Inn   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Buddy D.: inn   Myriandor: We're here to chew gum and kick ass and I'm all out of gum hehe Myriandor will be a bit more diplomatic   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so you arrive at the inn and see a couple fellows behind the bar and a few farmer and miner types lounging around inside. He he, a Duke Nukem reference!   Myriandor: He must have got it from Roddy Piper in the movie They Live hehe   Dungeon Master (GM): the place is called the Conyberry Hall   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "i will talk to the barkeep"   BarKeep: says, "Hello there folks what can we do for you today?"   Myriandor: Myriandor turns to Paco "You give it a go,"   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "we would be of need of a couple rooms"   BarKeep: says, "We can offer you a couple for 2 silvers a night."   Paco Bedo: says, “ we’ll take them.”   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "can we get some cheap food..... "   BarKeep: says, "Very Well then. Would you all like some refreshments?"   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "yes please"   BarKeep: says, "Yes", and hands you a menu... just make up what you want to eat   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "eggs and ham"   Dungeon Master (GM): a miner fellow sitting at the bar asks, "Where are you folks from and heading to from here?"   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "I'll take some stew and whiskey, leave the bottle, heard you have a problem with Orcs bothering the miners.""   BarKeep: says, "Alright", and pours you some whiskey. Says, "Oh yes indeed, they come up from the south of here, from the direction of the old Wyvern Keep, we think, it's that mountain you see south of here from the village." Says, "rumors of trolls, as well."   A farmer fellow sitting at a nearby table adds, "Good thing we have old Agatha, helping us protect the town."   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Orcs and Trolls, bad mix, we came here to try to fix that problem for you, so, tell us anything you can about them.""   Dungeon Master (GM): that is the mountain known as wyvern tor that you saw to the south   Buddy D.: wow   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Maybe we should talk to Agatha as well"   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "i agree"   Miner: says, "Well there is not really much more I know about them. They simply either pester Conyberry looking to loot supplies or livestock or lay in wait anywhere along the Triboar trail to ambush anyone.”   Farmer: says, "Yea and there are about 140 of us that take turns watching over the town." , "When it gets really rough Agatha comes to help us out."   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "What can you tell us about Agatha? We need to meet her sometime"   BarKeep: says, "Agatha is really the towns nickname for a female elven banshee, …yes banshee… named Auglathla." "She lives up in a magical grove north of the village."   Dungeon Master (GM): Do any of you speak elven, btw?   Myriandor: I'm sure Paco does   Dungeon Master (GM): ok Darmin does, and he notes to you all that Auglathla is elven for Winter Breeze   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "I do"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok you note the same about the elven name.   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "quietly to Paco "I'm not sure these folk know what a Banshee is, but we need to find out more, in the morning"   BarKeep: says, "Back in 1356, we had this drow fellow visit the town named D'rizzt Do'Urden. He stole a mask possessed by Agatha, once and actually returned it to her."   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "i agree"   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Spits on the floor "Overrated Drow""   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "ha ha"  
Miner: says, "Agatha is not your typical banshee, she can be nice, if you are good to her."   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Thats good, We'll go see her in the morning.""   Farmer: says, "About those orcs, their tribe emblem on their shields and some shirts, is a cluster of many arrows."   Myriandor: OOC Any chance we may know the symbol?   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "i will crush the the orcs see them driven before us and hear the lamintations of their women"   Dungeon Master (GM): [no as the info is new to you all]   Farmer: says, "If you venture to Wyvern Tor, you might also want to watch out for wyverns, of course, though none have been known to be spotted for many years."   Myriandor: [ Tor is German for door or gate may mean something]   Dungeon Master (GM): Cool the DM didn't even know that!   Buddy D.: yes   Dungeon Master (GM): by the way buddy roll me a 1d6   Myriandor: [ Meaning is a bit fuzzy in soccer its a goal it also has to used to close the door so but I do recall that from back in the 70s haha   Buddy D.: rolling d6( 3 ) = 3   Dungeon Master (GM): as you mention that about 'Tor' the barkeep says, "Our little town jokes that it is named for Rabbit shit", "Also some say it refers to Conifer berries."   Buddy D.: lol   Dungeon Master (GM): [OOC I noticed some fantasy writer has a similar name but i forget where i saw that just the other day]   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "laughs "Rabbit shit, I like that, no offense to you folks"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok when Paco downs the Whiskey he realized it was bad cheap stuff but managed to swallow it down!   Buddy D.: he swallows gross jk   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, anything more to ask the crowd?   Myriandor: Nope plan is eat rest and go in the morning   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so we can do just that and say it's the next day.   BarKeep: says, "Good morning folks, if you are going to pay Agatha a visit, she lives just north west of the village an an area of birch trees. Just follow the north path from the village will take you there."   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Morning, thanks, thats one place we are going"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so now we move to the next map   Buddy D.: yes sir   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Suggest someone that speaks Elvish go first"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, you come upon a dome of branches with a single hole for an entrance, which looks big enough for a human to crawl through.   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "i am a elf"   Dungeon Master (GM): [Kaiden isn't with the party, he was in a rush due to bloodlust and went south looking for orcs!]   Buddy D.: i am a mexicana elf jk   Dungeon Master (GM): ha ha! ok so looks like Paco crawls into the hole first   Myriandor: I'm a snowy Tiefling hehe likes cold and snow   Buddy D.: sorry my vision fails me in real life is this a tree or a frog   Dungeon Master (GM): ok you see a table, a couple of chairs, a couch and book case and a chest   Myriandor: its a group of trees branches meshed to form a roof   Buddy D.: oh ok   Myriandor: not typical for a banshee hehe   Buddy D.: exactly   Dungeon Master (GM): suddenly a ghostly visage appears at the head of the table   Myriandor: move in paco I'm right behind you   Buddy D.: weapon ready   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "We come in peace just wanna talk"   Agatha the Banshee Says: "Greetings! I have been informed by the villagers of your wishing to speak with me. What can I do for you?""   Buddy D.: lowers weapon   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "First off, who or what are you?"   Dungeon Master (GM): [Agatha looks of a visage of a long dead elven maiden, her skin withered and stretched along her hollow face and her eyes bereft of color or any spark of life.]   Myriandor: So she looks like a Banshee   Agatha the Banshee Says: "I am a sylvan elf, a sorceress by trade.""   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "i am a ranger from the south"   Agatha the Banshee Says: "I keep watch over the forest and village here."
Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "How can we assist yall to rid yous guys of the orcs"   Agatha the Banshee Says: "I am told you wish to help rid of the orcs?"   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "I'm a Tiefling from the North, names Myriandor, what can you tell us about these Orc raiders?"   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "crickets chirping"   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Thats us at the moment, Orc exterminators"   Agatha the Banshee Says: "These orcs are of the Many Arrows tribe. They appear to come from some where in Wyvern Tor, a sizable moutain with miles of rugged terrain on it's flanks and slopes. With the town of phandalin and Conyberry seeing increased trade. The orcs saw it as an opportunity to simply raid the caravans and towns.""   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Basically good at heart, we do it for the thrill and adventure" Says: "So we need to make them change their hard heads and leave the townsfolk alone"   Agatha the Banshee Says: "I do not know exactly where they reside so you will have to scout the area yourself."   Buddy D.: we are ready to scout?   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Can you tell us about anything else in the area? some of these folk mentioned Trolls"   Dungeon Master (GM): yes you can go there if you wish   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "trolls?"   Agatha the Banshee Says: "Ah yes, they do exist but have not been seen with the orc raiding parties."   Paco the Elf Ranger Says: "good lord, trolls would be tough"   Agatha the Banshee Says: "If you do find trolls, please let me know where they live.""   Myriandor the Tiefling Fighter Says: "Alright, Thanks, We'll go have a talk with the Orcs see if we can make them change their ways"   Agatha: ok that is all the information about the orcs she can give you   Myriandor: So march South to Wyvern Tor   Agatha: ok then   Buddy D.: ok   Myriandor: Guess we stop here good place to stop before we meet the Orcs   Dungeon Master (GM): yes, indeed, let's wait till 10 after if he doesn't get back we'll definitely stop here I'll just have you near the orcs, i'm not gonna have you roam aimlessly through forest to find them.   Myriandor: Cool let the Orcs find us hehe   Dungeon Master (GM): I'll say it took you roughly 4 days to find tracks that will lead to them. Yea i could to the wandering monsters but didn't want to with just the two of you here. ok, let's call it here until next week, and lets see if we can pick up some new players if the others don't respond to be my midnight tonight they are booted out!   Myriandor: Alright I will see if I can find anyone   Dungeon Master (GM): ok cool! alright then thanks for playing!
