Journey to Thorbardin - Waiting

[malkav565]

So it was that Adam followed the battles of the Companions (as they came to be called) to Thorbardin.

Crowley was unexpectedly good to his word, and the Rangers engraved an exquisite Spider all along Adam's back using copper infuse ink. It is said the process was extremely painful and the Rangers enjoyed retribution for their earlier defeat in the Bazaar.

Adam waited with Askgar until word of the Blue Crystal staff reached their ears. Then Adam said a hearty goodbye to his new friend and set off to rejoin the group.

Of course, the rest of the story is better known as the War of the Lance...

Great stuff ! A few things..

- the blue crystal staff isn't intact anymore, it was destroyed in the battle against the black dragon Onyx in the swamps of Xak Tsaroth ..

- the mountain dwarves are the most reknown metal workers throughout the land - so it makes sense that only they would be able to get past the thickness of Adam's scales (in game terms damage resistance and high AC) to be able to do the copper tattoo engraving

- I'm going to say Askgar took Adam into Thorbardin through a secret passage other than the one Adam saw his friends going through in the visions that Majere-as-a-copper-spider gave Adam.. the visions included WHEN his friends would be showing up as well as where so Adam would basically be sitting there waiting for them at the hidden gate to Thorbardin - Adam will make his appearance in the FG game session this coming Tues night where he'll be first reunited with the PC's, but to give you a heads up - rather than jumping into the RP right away in that FG game session wait for me to introduce him first (wait for a cue from me basically )

- should I award XP and RP now or later ?

Got it. Has he already gotten the tattoo or not yet? I will have to rebuild my character in FG anyway, so it's gonna take me forever.

(yep he definitely already starts the FG game session with the tattoo .. Adam gets 50 XP and 100 RP for a long - and I mean that in a good way obviously he put a lot of work into this - thread that was a thoroughly enjoyable read for me )
