Orhan 2 Day 45 TE 6053

We keep playing with the fool door. D. works on it a bit more. D. finally manages to get it without dying.

We find 700 arrows, 100 spears, 20 long bows, 40 maces, 65 daggers, 48 longswords, 25 battleaxes, 10 morning stars, 40 lances, 15 warhammers.

In the back are two chests. Both have essense on them. Imre decides they are magically locked. D. looks for traps. Haeraan works on the traps. He decides to open on of the chests. Inside he finds a long sword(+N). Unwrapping it we also find:

A quiver with arrows (5 of slaying humans, 5 of slaying elves), maingauche (Bladeturn I once/day), and a box. Inside the box is a little metal shield about 8 inches in diameter (Shield 3/day). All essense.

Then the chest explodes. Boom!! Haeraan gets singed.

Haeraan then moves on to the next chest. D. gets poisoned during it, but it's not so bad.

We find: A ornate broadsword (+10) with many encrusted jewels (Aura 1/day), a flail (Flail of Fire and Ice: +1 Cold and +1 Heat crit of one level lower).

Then the chest explodes. Boom!! Haeraan gets singed. Oathar gathers up around 40 daggers in a box.

We now go to the armor room, do all the door playing stuff and head inside.

We find: 100 leather coats, 125 leather breast plates, 50 plate breastplate, 75 leather helms, 30 plate helms, 100 target shields, 50 full shields

Three chests. Haeraan does the magic Haeraan dance.

We find: One full set of AT 20 platemail, channeling and essense. Imre examines it and determines that it is the armor of a god! He hesitates to put it on and attune it. When he does, he discovers it casts: Invisibility I 1/day; Lesser Demonic Gate 1/week; Force Analysis III 1/week; Force Information III 1/week.

We find: One full shield, essense and mentalism. Deflections I and Jolts I

We find: One pair of helms, +10 DB on one, +5 DB negates head crits 20% of the time.

Having had a full day of pillaging, we head out of the city, but first we put the plate mail back behind as many of its traps as we can.

A we leave, we are approached by a pair of ghosts. They drain away a lot of our Con. Imre chases one away. The fighters smash the other one.

We continue fleeing. We get out. We kill some wild boars in the night.

We decide to move right to the inner city this time. Why fool around with the outside stuff. The inner city is protected by a lightning field. After a lot of experimentation, we decide to just go through and take the lightning bolts. We make it inside and find more doors with poisoned needles. We head towards the inner courtyard. We prop open the inner doorway.

We check out the first building we come to. There is a symbol of a multi-colored cloud etched above the doorway. Haeraan detects enemies and gets some skeletons, some ghost wolves. D. detects traps and is sure that death awaits any who disturb this door. Imre decides to undoor the door. It resists. Then it doesn't. We head in. Oathar wakes a dragon. The dragon is sitting on a pile of 36,000 gold pieces, filled with weapons, gems, laen, mithral sculptures and other niceties. Haeraan mentions that it's a cave drake. Probably not fully grown, but it's not a baby. Cave drakes have acid breath weapons. D. flees while it's uncurling. "No one has dared disturb my slumber for ages!" "We're very sorry." One stonewall later, we flee.

We try another building. It has a starburst above it. Haeraan checks it out, since D. isn't going near any more doors. Det. enemies yields nothing. We knock. No one answers. D. finally gets up enough courage to pick the lock. It opens at her command. Haeraan sneaks in and discovers a living room. D. lays down some looting. Nothing helpful here. We check the left door. It's a study. Oathar checks the book case. They are mostly insect eaten. True Perceptions a Seer list to 20th level. There are a pile of writings prediciting doom for this city.

Checking the other door, Haeraan finds the bedroom. D. discovers a cloak. We also find a raked sand stone garden sort of deal. Imre identifies it as a divination room. Oathar and Imre leave to the central pillar.Oather looks around while Imre divines the future. Imre sees an old man. He's sitting on a pendulum which goes back and forth. It slows as another man walks up and watches him. The pendulum starts swinging only on the dark side now. The other man and the pendulum man start fighting. The standing man punches the pendulum guy. So now the pendulum guy is swinging all wacky like, but the standing guy is unconscious.
