New Adventure: 4E
So after vanquishing Kahrel and his minions the group made it back to town, dirty, smelly sore and bloody.
A great party was held the night of their return with many speeches by Lord Padraig and other local dignitaries. ALthough Darkface was shunned by the locals due to his race.
While resupplying Bairwin offered the group a job collecting a box from The Seven Pillared Hall in Thunderspire Mountain east of Winterhaven. They searched the town for two days for any sign of the sage but he was no where to be found. So the group set out after purchasing 3 horses. On the King's Road they encountered a tragic scene. A trio of humans slaughtered at the hands of a group of Kobolds. They found the sole remaining member of the traveling party cowering inside the wagon. He claimed the group of Kobolds slaughtered his companions and stole a box containing a Green Dragon hide. The adventures left their horses and walked into the woods to discover a trail leading up to an abandoned hall. Making their way down a set of stairs they found a room containing a 10ft deep trench 4 feet deep with a glowing green sludge. They made quick work of the Kobold sentries, although one .
They made their way to the next room which was empty except for two suits of armor set up in a couple of alcoves, and 4 vandalized coffins. Mathers cleverly found a dart trap when he stepped onto a trigger plate near one of the coffins. A dart shot from the visor of the closest suit of armor and hit Mathers in the back of the neck.
Next they examined a small shrine to the Dragon god Tiamut and took the 60gp offering the Kobolds had left behind.
The next room was much more interesting. Four more coffins two on either side of another sludge filled trench. 10 ft wall at the end of the room with a short railing. The adventures discovered a Kobold game called Skull Smash when they ventured into the room and a large sludge covered rock on a rope swung down and smashed into Panril. With deadly accuracy Cliff and Karl sniped the Kobolds and Panril tossed a moltov cocktail up onto the ledge finishing off a couple Kobolds. Another Kobold opened up a set of wooden double doors and let loose a pair of Drakes. The group made quick work of the Drakes and are now planning to move deeper into Kobold Keep.
"During the 2004 Olympics, we spent some time applying the D&D rules to various events. Among our findings:
Based on height and weight, U.S. gymnast Carly Patterson would be a tall female elf, and her Russian rival Svetlana Khorkina would be a slim female half-elf. The Hamm twins are as tall and as heavy as the average male half-elf. The wrestler Rulon Gardner is in the 69th percentile for half-orc height and weight.
And sprinter Maurice Green and soccer star Mia Hamm are very close to the D&D height and weight averages for humans.
The best Olympic archers are 7th-level rangers, based on their accuracy against a Fine, stationary target 230 feet away and some reasonable assumptions about feat choices.
Weightlifter Shane Hamman? Str 23, based on his snatch weight.
A 6th-level monk with a +5 movement speed feat can hit a world record for the marathon, which is 27,687 5-foot squares long." --From wizards.com By Jesse Decker and David Noonan
