I see there is no OOC section for IC stories so I'll post it here.

OOC

The day started as usual for Kurkan with an early rise because of the burning sun as always in that enormous desert. A day filled with killing of mad humonz in the desert for jewelry and gold coins and collecting massive amounts of salt. When he returned to the keep after a successful raid and was selling his loot to Kwa he was approached by a reptilian creature that had little respect for a mighty hobgoblin. After exchanging insults Kurkan heard from the little kobold that he was named Tellax and on the run from its master who was a big mean wizard according to his former slave. Now Kurkan had nothing against keeping slaves but seeing this kobold swinging a huge trident speaking with a grudge against its master and seeing the iron will of the kobold made Kurkan understand the kobold had a fighting spirit.

So Kurkan decided for himself he could use the skill of a sneaky kobold. Kurkan bought boots and a shield for the kobold. Tellax told he would like an armor so Kurkan started a quarrel with Kwa about the poor quality of gear he sold. Kwa whom already was offended by Kurkan’s giving away gear to the kobold and they almost started a fight. While arguing with Kwa ,Kurkan saw that the kobold had more interest in Kwa’s filled purse instead of running away. Being distracted by the kobold’s greedy eyes Kurkan lost intrest in a heavy debate and maybe Kwa noticed it too and both calmed down. Kwa later told them there was an opportunity for them to obtain armor in a cave west from the humonz village after Kurkan told him it could be profitable to sell armors.

So both Kurkan and Tellax went out into the desert and traveled to the humonz settlement.
Tellax almost died once for being to greedy while exploring garbage heaps in the desert. The first cave they explored near the oasis was scorpion infested and not the one they were looking for. So again they went further west and killing the ant wildlife till they spotted a bunch of gnolls behind a stone wall in the desert in front of a cave. Seeing them Kurkan attacked the first gnoll he was closest too. Tellax used his sling and threw everything he had. While attacking another gnoll wizard unleashed its divine powers onto Kurkan stunning him and was saved by Tellax who was distracting the gnolls and yelling to them and calling them cowards. When Kurkan was freed they flanked the gnolls later on and launched a full attack and were succesfull killing all them gnolls. When they entered the cave they were ambushed by goblins. Not impressed by the assault force of the goblins they both pushed on to see a new wave of goblin riders and worgs. These goblins and worgs had no friendly feelings for the hobgoblin nor did Kurkan had any for them. A goblin tribe with help from orcs, they deserve to die. At one moment they were overwhelmed by orcs and goblins. Kurkan surrounded by orcs while Tellax drove them mad with hit and run tactics. One time Tellax got pursued by mad orcs who had enough of the pesky kobold and gave Kurkan some leeway. Less enemies for Kurkan so he killed his enemies real quick and ran after the chasing orcs whom where after Tellax. Picking them one by one while the fast kobold outran the orcs.

Then they both clashed into a big orc and while fighting him the rocks came down from the ceiling. Tellax warned Kurkan not stay for long here. Kurkan told Tellax to take the armor from the big dead orc and look later for a tailor to help him to adjust it to his size.
While more rocks came down they decided it was time to head back and saw the entrance blocked by a new bunch of goblins. Soaked in blood they left the cave for what it was. When outside Tellax started babbling about a bag he found the big orc had on him. Kurkan demanded the kobold to show the bag. Tellax showed him a blue flaming sword and Kurkan immediately claimed it. Yes, yes sword for you replied the kobold. Kurkan happy with his sword and forgot all about the bag. This kobold delivered him a good sword maybe I can promote him as my bodyguard and acts as arrowcatcher Kurkan thought. Telling him his new task the kobold gladly accepted it seemed to Kurkan. Having his new sword Kurkan ran back to the cave to let it tastes its first blood. No goblins to see and in one part of cave they saw some trolls coming through a corridor. While Tellax yelled at Kurkan to destroy them with fire. But when all trolls were slaughtered with his new blade the trolls stayed dead. Maybe the blue flames were enough to kill trolls forever. When that was all done they drifted through the desert and were caught in a sandstorm and hours later they bumped into a sort of tower with a dungeon below. They entered to get away from the irritating sand. The dungeon seemed deserted so they explored chamber by chamber till they were surprised by orcs. The orc warband was strong enough to get Kurkan and Tellax in trouble. With determination they both were able to slay them all. So further they went till they entered a room filled with undead and a magical beast. The skeletons were a little problem in comparison with that magical beast. The beast was able to frighten them over and over, both bleeding to death while the beast fiercely attacked and Kurkan knew his end was coming and was thinking about facing the ONE. He always negelected the ONE only when trouble arised he prayed to Maglubiyet and not Nomog-Geaya. While thinking these last thoughts he saw his blade colouring from blue to orange-red.
He felt a titnteling sensation on his skin and felt his blood flowing while his heart pounded harder and faster. It’s the ONE that comes to my aid screamed Kurkan and with bloodlust and rage he dismemebered the beast. After the battle Tellax asked him what happened and Kurkan told him that Maglubiyet aided him. Must have been the ONE. They examined the chamber seeing bookshelves and sitting chairs and cushions. A livingplace for someone who finds himself important. Searching the rooms and corridors while Tellax in front and opening doors for Kurkan and taking the first damage when a zombie or skeleton reached out. They found an entrance to a lower section and find out it was inhabited with one-eyed giants. In one small section with two doors they had a long battle. Tellax closing doors when three giants tried to open them. At one time a giant was bashing on door to come in while Kurkan with his back blocked the door and holding of another giant. Tellax and Kurkan both trapped in that small corridor between doors. Kurkan was able to defend himself very well in the beginning and at same time blocking other two giants out. Tellax attacking the giant from the back. The fire giant kept swinging his mighty huge sword. Kurkan felt he got tired he could not hold of the attack for a long time. Again in desperate need of help Kurkan shouted for the ONE and granted victory in his name. He experienced an immediate response and heared a faint voice in his head he was one of the ONE’s mighty warriors. With this new feeling of acceptance he felt a new strength and he drove his sword into the giants lungs. The other giants behind the door followed quickly the other giants fate. Tellax was excited for seeing lots of helpful potions in that room.While asking himself why giants were here Tellax gave the answer that giants were trapped here. Need to keep my eyes open for Tellax he is way more clever then he knows himself thought Kurkan to himself. Backtracking they found a new chamber filled with a red fog , while Kurkan stumbled around seeing nothing and Tellax running everywhere not hindered at all by the red fog. Suddenly he felt if someone trampled over his dead body. An icy cold feeling then he faced some cloaked undead creature. Kurkan heart was filled with fear and he panicked and slammed into a wall hearing Tellax screaming “come to door Boss”

In a second he felt one of the new potions sticking in his back, damm backpack was overfilled with bottles. He took one to aid him while the undead master was waving hands for spellcasting. Then Kurkan felt his mind clearing up and with well placed strikes the undead master fell to the floor. Tellax ran to him that he found a new door with a strange mouth attached to it. The mouth spoke about a password. Kurkan said a word and offcourse the wrong one it seemed and found himself in a magical black hole and jumped away before he got sucked into it. In another room they found zombies and when zombies were striken down they spoke words as a last cry of thanks for freeing them .
With Tellax in front again eager to open doors for treasure they came back to the one room with the bookshelves and couches. Searching the place Kurkan saw in the corner of his eye a giant black beast. When turning his face to it was gone. Asking Tellax if he seen that black beast Tellax answered he had not seen such a beast. Walking to the spot where he had seen the dragonlike beast Tellax shouted to the dragon “HEYS YOU DRAGON...... WHERE YOUS BE.... DA BOSS WANTSTA TALK” If Tellax was close to Kurkan he would have strangled him but lucky for Tellax he was out of reach. Allright Tellax SILENCE. Looking for the black beast it suddenly appeared again right in front of them. It was a mighty black dragon that spoke the words: “You called for something?”

What then followed is between the dragon and the two treasurehunters. Only this that the both of them left alive and in possession of something that was from the dragon.

Kurkan strong warrior


// To DM-taino and Tellax thanks for the good time, I was a bit rusty on the RP but it was fun to experience adventure on BAR again.
