  Enter The Dungeon
Okay, I'm back. Lots of stuff to take care of, from email, Table Talk, and here.

Dave FoO: you rolled hp for your level already, check your post of June 14 (or maybe 16). "Better mace" is a Fighter thing and you ain't a Fighter. Clerics in 1E aren't supposed to be all badass in melee. You gotta find a better mace or a potion or some gauntlets or something. Castle Greyhelm has a lot of treasure so you guys should be okay if you don't die. As for your WI point, you've got to do a quest for your god or find a magic book. Freeing the Valkyrie would be nice. Restoring the Church of Odin would be nice. Don't forget Odin's the god who helps those who help thyself, so if you have any ideas, just try 'em out.

Brogg: okay, you send the +2 Ring to the Druid Smallwood to get Cinder reincarnated. Cinder by the way, it was just awful. He was going to buy some lemonade at the store when this griffon swooped down and bit his head right off. The body kind of twitched and fell over. Grettin and Shettin can't do much because they left Grito, they're on the paradise fairy island. Greetles comes back and tells you that the Druid ain't your biggest fan, because you kicked his ass and shut down his blog, but he needs the work, took the ring, and Cinder should be back good as new any day now. Alter Self II? Did I give you guys that spell? Cause it's not in the books. Anyway, it's sort of in between Alter Self and Polymorph Self if that helps. You can turn into humanoids or humanoid monsters, like a bugbear, ogre, Frankenstein, etc. Or Greetles, another Brogg, Cinder, anyone really.

Schmektor, you're not 2nd level, you're 3rd level. Says so on your char sheet, ya? You've got 6500 xp and need 8000 total (1500 more) to get 4th level. Should be doable. Okay, tightening up the armor is pretty cheap, just like 10 gp. For 80 gp, you can turn it into full on plate, AC:3.

Other posts: okay, stuff bought. Sounds great.

By the way, Mike the Zombie shows up and gives you guys the chainsaw. It's a +1 Broadsword that can rev up to +1d12 dmg each attack, something like 5 charges left. If you want, you can sell it for 1600 gp.

...

Okay, yup Castle Greyhelm is right on the lake. The lake feeds into the castle moat. Although the KoA disguise idea is comedy gold, as is a big ass magnet, swimming is probably the most feasible. You can even get a little boat and row out near the castle. Using some ropes, swimming skills, and stuff like that, you all can make your way around to the front, where the entrance to the castle oddly stands wide open. Two destroyed Knights lie smoldering in the front gate. You sneak into magical Castle Greyhelm before any more Knights see you.

There's a porticullis mechanism right inside to close the gate if you want. Other than that, you're standing in a once-magnificent courtyard. Three impressive buildings rise up here- Greyhelm Keep, the Grey Tower, and the Chapel of Isaac of the Jug, patron god of the Greyhelm family. You try the door to the Keep and find it strangely locked. A large golden padlock holds the iron doors shut.

Tower, Chapel, or go back and explore the ruined city? The Tower is rumored to once have been the dwelling of a mighty magic-user while a horrible presence can be felt coming from the Chapel.

...

Meanwhile, back on the ranch:

Cinder comes back. Except, being reincarnated, he's not exactly Cinder. No, don't worry, it's not a fucked-up "Monkey's Paw" kind of thing. But Gregolas is at first really confused.

"Ralph? Ralph! I heard you died man, welcome back! Gimme love bro!"

Cinder, now in the body of the half-bugbear Ralph, sadly shakes his head no. "Shorry Gregolash," he lisps. "Let me exshplain."

Apparently the only fresh body Druid Smallwood could get was the recently deceased body of Ralph, who succumbed to prostate cancer after a long, courageous struggle. Cinder, nee Ralph, looks like an average dude, just with a freakishly large hairy bugbear head. His head's beachball size, with eyes the size of saucers, so CHA penalties but +1 to Spot checks.

Cinder's a little depressed about the recent (ha) inactivity, loss of life, loss of stuff thing, so he has a seat on the couch. "Mind if I play Xshboxh?"

"Uh, well. You know, I'm kind of playing it right now dude. But Ra... I mean, uh, Cinder, here you can play my DS. It's got this game, you're this Irish beaver or something, you'll figure it out." Gregolas gets back to Metroid Six while Cinder starts to play Beaver O'Malley: Perfect Construction Saga. After a few minutes, Greg's cellphone rings. "Hello? Oh right, shit I forgot. Cinder, it's for you, it's Beaver O'Malley."

Cinder sighs after getting a nice message. "I wonder what the guysh are up to?"
