A Han Solo Moment

1 March 2007-

We geared up and entered the secret door, into what appeared a classic dungeon crawl. Ahead we saw a corridor, torches in brackets, and a "T" intesection- basic stuff, we all agreed. Then our lead scout- run by a player with over 20 years of gaming experience- fell into a pit. Oops!

After recovering his composure, our scout redeemed himself by finding a secret door which led us into a tunnel leading deeper underground. As we advanced, we heard noises, and lit up the hall to discover a group of reptile men advancing single file up the narrow tunnel. With our magical illumination, they proved vulnerable to eBill's bow (skill 24!), eMichael's spells, and Craig's spiffy new magic sword, and three were dead in as many seconds. A fourth reptile man dodged through a side-door, and the others ran back the way they had come. Craig and eMicheal, both impulsive and overconfident, charged through the door after the fleeing reptile man, only to discover that he had fled into a room of zombified (yet another piece of questionable gamer grammar- e.g. "necrocide") sacrificial victims. Our heroes immediately had a "Han Solo moment," and came running back into the tunnel yelling for a retreat. The rest of us hastily retreated to the entry hall, where we made a more credible stand against our smelly foes.

Next week, we go back inside and try, try again.
