In the Mithral Mines

When last we left our intrepid adventures they had run into Moragar The Mad. The truly evil creator of the dimensional hole twixt the Key Chamber of the Great Mine of Gamil Zirakdumdûm and the King's Chamber in the Dwarven city Barazinbar. Upon the body of Moragar were papers linking him to the creation of the Great Key as well as to a the creation of another portal meant to allow direct access between the mine and some other place. This second project changed Moragar drastically. It drove him mad and caused him to do some truly terrifying things among which was the destruction of a Kensai master's mind, the release of the animals in the dwarven menageries and the summoning of a black dragon by the name of Kibil-nâla. This last he did in order to question him about the nature of the problems Moragar was incurring with keeping the dimensional portal stable. He seemed to think Kibil-nâla a) knew the answer and b) would tell it to Moragar. He also seemed to think it fortuitous that the dragon's name meant silver load in Dwarvish.

The adventurers have learned that the portal chamber is somewhere on this level and that Moragar's rooms are on the next level up. Moragar is apparently still unconscious. Dave is trapped in Moragar's body, which seems to be a great deal healthier than when Dave first became an unwilling occupant of it, and Moragar occupies Dave's. Which can not be healed without awakening Moragar.

OK, it has been suggested that I finish this story arc so that Keith can have a turn. I can do this in two weeks if everyone seriously starts in gaming when we hit the table tomorrow. If not it will take longer. There are at least three encounters between now and the final battle of this arc, not BTW the final battle of the overall story. The big bad you are not even close to ready for. If you paid attention in the last couple of paragraphs you will realize what you will be going up against. Even if we push ahead here you will need to pay attention.

  2. Why is it every characters' first dragon is always a black dragon?

    Is it alphabetical?

  3. Not true Bruce. Meepo's was white.

    The first dragon you fought in my game was black.

    Remember the first time you blew a dragon? The expression on his face?

  4. Well if you are disapointed I could make it Tiamot.

    Yes, finish this arc and on to the Pits. I intend to get back to this though as it seems to be running smoothly for the most part.

  5. We can discuss tonight but we can set up a tag-team schedule for running games. One GM runs for a few sessions, then the next, and so on. We take turns.

    I am ok if Randy wants to keep running for a while. Everyone seems to be having a good time. I do not want to disrupt the fun. I just wanted to get things prepared so that when we are ready to start we can actually start. I am not in any real hurry.
