Red or White Wine When Dining on Elf?

19 Jan 06-

Well, it ended up being a little of both. We sent in eMike, our Pixie mage, to scout out the hole, thinking that his small size and stealth would allow him to recon the area unnoticed, but even stealth-hounds blow it once in awhile. He survived the discovery of an orc-fortified tunnel, and made it back out to describe it to us.

With our usual tactical aplomb, we decided to rush the barrier, with our air-mage creating a pocket vortex that protected us from enemy fire. When we got to the barrier, we found another tunnel, which led down to the actual lair part of the lair. Here we got into a fight with a bunch of orcs and their mindbreaker, a seriously freaky combination of giant spider and brainy-looking thing (sort of like an intellect devourer from AD&D with long, spidery legs).

Once they started to lose, the mindbreaker beat feet (all of them) and escaped, using a combination of invisibilty and illusion to evade us. We did find some surviving elves, in a charnel house environment where they had been serving as food for the mindbreaker. The surviving orcs didn't, in the end, and we came out as heroes and elf-friends. They even taught us the secret handshake!
