Part 5: Wanderings
Split - Monastery of Mystery to Interlude
22. Monastery of Mystery
February-March 1989
Background and summary: the Party decides to head south for
some reason, and along the way they notice an old ruined monastery
not far from the road. On investigation, it proves to be under
some sort of curse; the Party are able to sort this out relatively
easily, along with a few more local difficulties, and continue their
travels.

Track down the thief (a Leprechaun)
and recover gear. |
| Jan 14 |
Party learns disappearances connected
to some sort of stronghold they've found in the forest; they
advise the locals of this and leave, as the stronghold is beyond
their capabilities to deal with. (or, at least that's their
story) |

Continuing party(to Geratha's Stronghold 1): Carcinda, Nazardene,
Shelanier, Cymbal, Nathan, Britta
23. Geratha's Stronghold
1 March-May 1989
Background and summary: the Hobgoblin invaders are firmly entrenched
in the Endridge area. However, a stronghold on a high mountain
spur not far from town has so far managed to resist the invasion.
The Endridge resistance leaders contact the Party and ask them to
go and determine how this stronghold is holding out, and whether
it could be converted into a base for the resistance against the
Hobgoblins. Things go wrong from the start, as the Party learns
the hard way it has to fight or avoid both the Hobgoblin patrols
and the stronghold occupants. Then, the Party gets utterly thrashed
once inside the stronghold; a few survivors teleport far to the
north, and spend months getting back, while the Endridge locals
just consider them a lost cause.
Starting members(from Monastery of Mystery):
Carcinda(NtC-5), Nazardene(F-4), Shelanier(MU-3/T-3), Cymbal(NrC-4),
Nathan(R-2/MU-1), Britta(F-3)
| Jan 29 487 |
While Nazardene and Carcinda train,
rest of Party contacted by local resistance movement and asked
to investigate a nearby castle that is somehow holding out against
the Hobgoblins. |
| Feb 1 |
Willis Wordsworth(T-2) joins. |
| Feb 3 |
Leave Endridge. |
| Feb 4 |
A patrol of 3 Hobgoblins, 5 Orcs, and
12 Goblins stumbles into Party's camp about 2 a.m. and has a
field day. Nathan killed, everyone else in the Party
ends up at -3 h.p. or worse except Willis at +2; Party uses
up a lot of combat and curative resources (potions, herbs, etc.)
just to survive, and have no tents left. |
| One Hobgoblin captured and charmed,
thus Zith(F-2) joins. |
| Camp moved to a better spot. |
| Nathan raised in the field by
Cymbal, using a stick given to Nathan by Valanyr for this purpose. |
| Feb 5 |
With nearly everyone incurable, for
some reason the Party keeps going. |
| Feb 6 |
Fileane(F-1/T-4) joins. |
| A lone Gnoll is captured and charmed. |
| Feb 7 |
A patrol of 8 Hobgoblins causes problems
but Party (with help from captives) wins. Zith puts on the uniform
of the patrol captain. |
| Feb 9 |
Weather warms up dramatically (from
about -2 Feb 8 to +21 today); Shelanier killed by an
avalanche. |
| Long argument about where to camp while
digging Shelanier's body out. |
| Feb 10 |
Overnight, Party's hilltop camp is
visited by an odd individual, who turns out to be a Gold Dragon
in Elven form; she blesses the Party, cures some of them up,
and leaves. |
| Another Hobgoblin patrol causes problems
in the morning, but Party prevails. (Willis to T-3) |
| At one point during this combat, Willis
notices a Hobgoblin archer up a tree; he climbs a nearby tree
and swings on a rope, Tarzan-style, to knock the archer off
his perch. To Willis' horror, the Hobgoblin (who was wearing
a Ring of Levitation) floats off the branch, calmly turns around,
and shoots him: Willis killed. |
| Back to hilltop camp; Fileane kills
the charmed Gnoll for some reason, sparking an argument. |
| Feb 11 |
Reach the stronghold at last; find
it held by Monks who attack first and ask questions never, and
several minor battles later the Party have established a small
beachhead at the castle entrance. |
| Nathan goes off exploring by himself
and gets jumped by 4 Monks; he kills 2 somehow, and the others
flee. |
| Carcinda manages to charm one of the
Monks but most of what he says makes no sense at all. |
| Party continues cautiously advancing;
find a small safe room and make camp. |
| Feb 12 |
A staircase up is held by a small band
of Monks; Party has just defeated these and is advancing up
stairs when a huge head appears at the top and - after cackling
briefly - spews a devastating rain of acid down on the Party:
Nathan, Britta, Fileane, and Zith killed. |
| Survivors engage the head, attached
to a huge Black Dragon, in conversation while Carcinda quietly
plots; she then grabs the others and teleports (via her Helm)
to Valanyr's just as the Dragon breathes again. |
Surviving members: Carcinda(NtC-5), Cymbal(NrC-5), Nazardene(F-4)
New members: Willis, Fileane, Zith
Retirees: none
Casualties: Shelanier, Willis, Fileane, Zith, Britta, (Nathan [twice]
- raised once, then revived later)
Continuing party(to Journey on the "Cymbal's Delight"):
Carcinda, Cymbal, Nazardene
24. Journey on the "Cymbal's
Delight" June-August 1989
Background and summary: after nearly being annihilated at the
stronghold, the few survivors round up a bunch of new companions,
and head back south intent on vengeance. Thinking it faster to
sail than to walk, the Party buys a boat and sails down the
coast; this trip becomes an adventure in itself, however, as pirates
and other assorted maritime hazards make things interesting.
Starting members(from Geratha's Stronghold
1): Carcinda(NtC-5), Cymbal(NrC-5), Nazardene(F-4)
| Feb 14 487 |
Party teleports to Wurgen; Carcinda
and Nazardene travel around while Cymbal trains. |
| Feb 28 |
Everyone regroups in Wurgen, and Party
advertises for new recruits. |
| Feb 29 |
Asha Asbjornsdottir(R-3), Amberyle(I-3/T-1),
and Wolanin(F-3) join; Party buys a small ship. |
| Mar 2 |
Ship sails but for some reason Nazardene
and Wolanin are not on it; returns a few days later. |
| Mar 5 |
Gunther Karlsefnison(MU-1/A-3) joins,
telling the Party he's a simple Thief. |
| Mar 6 |
Ship sails again but this time leaves
Gunther and Carcinda behind; returns next day. |
| Mar 7 |
Jamie le Chats de Soleil(F-3)
and Baldor son of Ben of Ballydoon(R-2/T-2) join, via
Carcinda's recruitment. |
| Mar 8 |
Ship sails yet again and this time
has everyone on board, plus a couple of hired sailors. |
| Mar 12 |
In attempting to outrun pirates (they
think) in very strong winds, too much sail is put up and ship
loses its mast. |
| 3-way ship-to-ship combat follows,
as there are two competing bands of pirates out here; pirates
fight each other, leaving Party's disabled ship as the winners'
prize. |
| Winning pirates come alongside to board,
but Party defeats them and captures their ship. |
| Yet another pirate ship appears; Party
don't have enough sailing skill to mount a credible defense,
so somehow Wolanin is polymorphed into a seagull and sent over
to pursuing craft to discourage it (how?); whatever he does
goes wrong, and he is shot down as he tries to flee: Wolanin
killed. |
| Party's new ship is not in much better
shape than the old one: "mainmast burnt and weakened...topsail
gone...holed in stern...taking on water, bailers holding". |
| Mar 13 |
A snowstorm throws off all pursuit,
but gets Party completely lost. |
| Mar 14 |
Find an island and tie up at the dock
in a small village. |
| Once ashore, Gunther goes off on his
own and manages to get mugged; Amberyle bails him out, and they
take a captive: Helena Rogansdottir(F-4) joins. |
| Talking to Helena reveals this whole
island is owned and run by pirates. |
| Baldor leaves for now, preferring
to find his own way to the mainland and walk to Endridge from
there. (he also wants to train in Thief; the Party think him
an ordinary Ranger) |
| Mar 15 |
Resupply in village, and leave after
dark. |
| Mar 16 |
Anchor in a small cove nearby, spend
day plugging leaks in ship. |
| Mar 19 |
Arrive Ballydoon harbour. |
| Mar 20 |
"Long discussion" about what
to do with Helena; eventually decide to let her go, so Helena
retires, but Carcinda leaves warnings all over town about
her and (as it turns out) makes her life miserable for years. |
| Mar 21 |
Amberyle looks into a crystal ball
she has found and blows her mind out; recovers later, somehow. |

Continuing party(to Geratha's Stronghold 2): Carcinda, Cymbal,
Nazardene, Asha, Amberyle, Gunther, Jamie, Baldor
29. Geratha's Stronghold
2 August-October 1989
Background and summary: having been thoroughly thrashed on
their first visit, the Party now knows they are up against a Black
Dragon, among other things, and armed with a raft of new recruits
they go back to the stronghold and try again. After some
misadventures with a teleporter, they get it together enough to
slay Geratha, the Dragon, and find an odd black sphere in
its treasure. This is the Black Orb of Terelan, but the Party have
no idea of its significance, and - thinking it an ordinary (if
dark) crystal ball - they sell it, and thus cause powerful people
elsewhere something of a headache. Also, Carcinda manages
to get left behind in the stronghold somewhere when everyone else
leaves.
Starting members(from Journey on the "Cymbal's
Delight"): Carcinda(NtC-5), Cymbal(NrC-5), Nazardene(F-4),
Asha(R-3),
Amberyle(I-3/T-1), Gunther(MU-1/A-3), Jamie(F-3),
Baldor(R-3/T-3)
| Mar 23 487 |
One of the hired sailors decides to
stick around: Niba Hareleigh(F-2) joins. |
| Apr 4 |
After a long overland journey, Party
arrives at Endridge to the great surprise of the locals, who
had written them off for dead weeks ago. |
| Somewhere around now, a spell failure
costs Cymbal about 20% of her weight; to reflect this, she changes
her name to Cybal. |
| Learn of a major uprising against the
Hobgoblins in a nearby Elvish forest. |
| Apr 5 |
Baldor rejoins, having travelled
by stagecoach and thus enjoyed a much easier trip. |
| Nathan resurrected by Cybal
with her stick. |
| Apr 8 |
Arrive at stronghold, notice much more
activity than last time. |
| Apr 9 |
Scouting reveals the castle is now
held by Gnolls, but they seem to be only going through the motions. |
| Attempt to sneak in after sunset by
having Baldor climb the wall and throw down a rope; he blows
it, and the crash he makes on landing alerts all the Gnolls.
Baldor killed. "Gnolls 1, Party 0" |
| Gnolls all swarm to the side where
Baldor fell, so Party walks around the castle and goes in the
front door. |
| Party evens the score by killing one
(1) Gnoll sentry. |
| Apr 10 |
Discover some sort of mage's laboratory
and explore; a teleporter here sends various people all over
the place, most notably Nazardene who ends up many miles away;
he spends all day getting back. |
| Nathan and Carcinda end up in a meadow;
Kajsa, a hawk belonging to Asha, then goes through: Nathan shoots
it. |
| Apr 11 |
Carcinda makes it back to Party during
night, as does Nathan, but Nathan goes exploring, gets teleported
again and winds up on Geratha's back! Nathan killed,
but his yells alert the Party and they come running. |
| Geratha defeated, but Nazardene
killed. |
| While exploring Geratha's lair, Carcinda
and Asha somehow come in contact with someone called Nasri. |
| Carcinda, feeling sorry for this Nasri,
teleports to wherever he is and joins him - and gets stuck there. |
| Apr 13 |
Back to Endridge; Amberyle's Thief
class finally exposed. |
| Apr 14 |
Nazardene fails resurrection. |
| Apr 15 |
Nazardene buried with his possessions,
southeast of Endridge; Cybal throws Death Prayer on the
corpse, starting a long argument with Jamie. |
| Apr 18 |
Gunther and Niba realize they're chasing
the same woman (Amberyle), and argue. |
Surviving members: Carcinda(NtC-5), Cybal(NrC-5), Asha(R-3),
Amberyle(I-4/T-2), Gunther(MU-1/A-4), Jamie(F-3), Niba(F-3)
New members: Niba; Nathan(from Geratha's
Stronghold 1)
Retirees: none
Casualties: Baldor, Nazardene, Nathan(revived later)
Continuing party(to Nasri's House): Carcinda, Cybal, Asha,
Amberyle, Gunther, Jamie, Niba
30. Nasri's House November
1989
Background and summary: realizing after a couple of weeks
that Carcinda still hasn't shown up, the Party decide to go back
to the stronghold yet again and find her. They end up getting
teleported to the house of someone called Nasri, but as soon as
they find Carcinda (and get in an argument with Nasri) they're
teleported yet again, to yet another adventure.
Starting members(from Geratha's Stronghold
2): Carcinda(NtC-5), Cybal(NrC-5), Asha(R-3), Amberyle(I-4/T-2),
Gunther(MU-1/A-4), Jamie(F-3), Niba(F-3)
| Apr 20 487 |
Some Thieves in town try to rob Asha
and Gunther and are soon made to regret it. |
| Apr 21 |
Party gathers just outside town and
are immediately attacked by a group of (rather incompetent)
Assassins |
| Apr 22 |
A band of Hobbits, including Mimosa
Clerics, visit Party on their way to try and track down the
Orb found by the Party on their last visit; they never ask Party
about it, thus don't learn it was already found and sold, and
waste weeks looking for it in the stronghold. |
| Reach stronghold in evening (but no
sign of the Hobbits), and make camp close to where Carcinda
vanished. |
| Apr 23 |
Through teleporter to "Nasri-land";
here find one of the Hobbits from earlier. |
| Nasri's pets - Owlbears and Hill Giants
- attack and manage to thrash Amberyle and Niba, but don't last
long. |
| Apr 24 |
Party realize they're in fact still
some distance from their goal, and start trundling. |
| Apr 26 |
Arrive at Nasri's house; find Carcinda,
who has spent the last few weeks in a passionate fling with
Nasri. |
| Apr 27 |
Party tries to leave, but Carcinda
refuses (she's charmed to Nasri), so Party agitates Nasri until
he snaps and attacks. Carcinda breaks charm, and everyone escapes. |
| Before long, they realize they have
no way of returning home other than via Nasri; they return to
his house and - after a short battle - negotiations begin. |
| During this battle, a small part of
Nathan, being carried by Cybal for later resurrection,
turned itself into a full-blown and very much alive Bugbear;
some spellcraft soon turned him back to normal, thus Nathan
resurrected in one of the most bizarre ways possible! |
| A deal is struck: Party must go and
retrieve a sword for Nasri from one of his neighbours; once
done, he will teleport them home. |
| The sword is recovered in record time,
as the neighbour (Irdig) was all too happy to see it go. |
| Apr 28 |
Nasri teleports the Party "home",
but in fact sends most of them to a rather dangerous place in
one last fit of pique. |
| Carcinda does get sent back to the
stronghold; Carcinda retires. |
| Through this adventure, Gunther managed
to amass more treasure than the rest of the Party put together! |
Surviving members: Carcinda(NtC-5), Cybal(NrC-5), Asha(R-3),
Amberyle(I-4/T-2), Gunther(MU-1/A-4), Jamie(F-4),
Niba(F-3), Nathan(R-2/MU-1)
New members: Nathan(from Geratha's Stronghold
2)
Retirees: Carcinda
Casualties: none
Continuing party(to The Tower): Cybal,
Asha, Amberyle, Gunther, Jamie, Niba, Nathan
So where does Carcinda go?
On returning to Geratha's stronghold, she is immediately captured
by the Hobbits, and released. She spends weeks roaming the countryside,
eventually winding up with the Elvish resistance by early June.
From here, she teleports to the northern front, and gets captured
by the Norse. On Jun 10 she meets Penthesileah, and updates
her on the progress of Cybal and company; after this, she becomes
a battlefield Cleric in Penthesileah's army. This lasts all of
13 days, at which time she tries to teleport somewhere and winds
up in the tropics. Having had enough of this world and its unreliable
magic, on Jun 24 she teleports to Ilarshei to find her old friend
Sonny, and does not return.
And who is this Nasri person, anyway?
Nasri, simply put, is an odd yet very powerful little man who
every so often likes to play games with people, much as a cat might
play with a mouse before killing it. He lives, along with some
other reclusive types, on a small demi-plane no more than a few
hundred miles across, that has links to Telenet (and other worlds)
through various permanent gates and teleport sites. Every so often,
someone comes through one of these, or - like Carcinda - looks through
at the wrong time and finds him/herself unable to resist Nasri's
charms. He is neither good nor evil in his own mind, but is highly
self-serving - not entirely unlike "Q" from Star Trek's
Next Generation series - and lives mostly for his own amusement
and entertainment. He started as a Magic-User, but has long since
progressed beyond such simple things; and though his "level"
can no longer really be quantified as such, he is certainly not
godlike. He is, however, unpredictable in the extreme.
31. The Tower December
1989-February 1990
Background and summary: instead of sending Party back to the
stronghold, Nasri puts them in a castle at the top of an immense
natural tower far to the north. Here they meet Ancalidon, whose
psyonics would ultimately be the Party's only way of getting
help; he convinces his mentor - a high-level Cleric - to come and
plane-shift them out - but not before some other bizarre
encounters.
Starting members(from Nasri's House): Cybal(NrC-5), Asha(R-3),
Amberyle(I-4/T-2), Gunther(MU-1/A-4), Jamie(F-4), Niba(F-3),
Nathan(R-2/MU-1)
| Apr 28 487 |
Expecting to arrive at the stronghold,
Party appears in some sort of castle and are jumped by 6 Orcs. |
| An out-of-place Paladin comes marching
down a hall; Ancalidon Turamarth(P-2) joins, having also
come here by mistake. |
| Niba killed in a battle with
16 Zombies. |
| Apr 29 |
Find a way outside and realize they
are atop a huge tower; the valley below looks more dangerous
than the tower, so they stay up here. |
| Nasri buried in a cairn on a ledge
on one side of the tower; Gunther now unopposed in his Amberyle
chase, and a romance develops there. |
| Back inside; a few minor combats interrupt
lots of exploring. |
| Find and rescue a Human prisoner (Lespi). |
| Walk into a room with 3 Drow in it;
these are illusions, but good enough to kill Lespi. |
| Somehow, Nathan gets teleported to
Valanyr's house; thus Nathan leaves. |
| 3 more Drow show up and get a good
jump on things as Party thinks they too are illusions; they're
not, and Party manages to capture two of them. |
| Apr 30 |
One of the captive Drow does not show
as evil, and seems decent enough, so Tamjeeka(MU-5) joins;
the other captive is killed. |
| Ancalidon contacts his mentor psyonically
and asks for help; she relays to an MU friend, and he teleports
to the Party with the mentor: Nilareth(NrC-9) joins. |
| Slight problem convincing Nilareth
Tamjeeka is for real, then Nilareth leaves and Party
continues exploring. |
| May 1 |
A Leprechaun causes some trickery for
a while, then vanishes. |
| Gunther killed by something
called a "Triquatch"; Amberyle surprisingly unconcerned. |
| May 3 |
Nilareth re-joins; by now, Party
realize Gunther was far wealthier than he should have been. |
| May 4 |
Nilareth throws "speak with dead"
on Gunther; will not raise him unless he swears fealty to her,
he refuses. |
| Everyone plane-shifted by Nilareth
to Ballydoon. |
| May 6 |
Nilareth leaves; everyone else
starts a training and treasury break. |
| May 7 |
Gunther raised in Ballydoon;
various people start travelling all over the north and east. |
Surviving members: Cybal(NrC-5), Asha(R-3), Amberyle(I-4/T-2),
Gunther(MU-2/A-4), Jamie(F-4), Nathan(R-2/MU-1),
Ancalidon(P-3), Tamjeeka(MU-5), Nilareth(NrC-9)
New members: Ancalidon, Tamjeeka, Nilareth
Retirees: Nilareth(to Search
for Charisma)
Casualties: Niba, (Gunther - raised)
Continuing party(to Forest Ruins 2): Cybal, Asha, Amberyle,
Gunther, Jamie, Nathan, Ancalidon, Tamjeeka
33. Forest Ruins 2 (a.k.a.
Bearovan's Test) March-June 1990
Background and summary: after travelling for weeks, the Party
finds a ruined castle on an island and decides to explore. Before
long, they realize this is some sort of test, set for them by Cybal's
deity Bearovan, and whatever the test is, they seem to pass
it, and Bearovan rewards most of the characters with an experience
level.
Starting members(from The Tower): Cybal(NrC-5),
Asha(R-3), Amberyle(I-4/T-2), Gunther(MU-2/A-4), Jamie(F-4),
Nathan(R-2/MU-1), Ancalidon(P-3), Tamjeeka(MU-5)
| May 23 487 |
Most of Party leaves Ballydoon; gather
rest of members as they head southwest. |
| Jun 3 |
Arrive Blackhampton, after a few encounters
along the way; most notable is with 2 Hill Giants. |
| Jun 16 |
Meet Nilareth close to her home
near Monamys; she takes Tamjeeka in, so Tamjeeka retires. |
| Jun 22 |
Arrive at Rock Point; an island just
offshore holds interest. Somewhere along the way, a couple
of new characters show up: Magnolia(T-2) and Constance
(Connie) Nevildae(MU-2/T-2) join. |
| Jun 25 |
Reach island after a long weather delay,
enter castle ruins and wade through various occupants; the only
glitch comes when Magnolia loses a level to a Wraith. |
| Find a statue of the Gnome deity Segojanne,
and camp at its feet. |
| Jun 26 |
Magnolia gets her level restored overnight;
various others feel much healthier, and Cybal's morning prayers
take a fraction of the usual time - all due to the statue, or
so the Party thinks. |
| Ancalidon goes exploring by himself
and finds a teleport site; spends hours bouncing around in the
telenet before returning. |
| Rest of Party continues exploring,
and clobbering every living thing they meet, then sack out. |
| Gunther explores alone later; somehow
avoids lots of Troglodytes, but a Giant Lizard gets him: Gunther
killed. |
| Somehow, a lone adventurer is found,
and Gareth ap Malahat(F-2/MU-3) joins. |
| Jun 27 |
Overnight, a raccoon bites Cybal on
the foot; as raccoons are the totem animal of his deity, Cybal
takes this as a holy sign - but has no idea what it means. |
| A combat with 5 Troglodytes leaves
Party in surprisingly bad shape; other than Asha and Nathan,
Party's net h.p. add to +7. |
| After much trouble, Party gains entry
to a room containing various entities: a Vampire, several Gargoyles,
and a living statue that is in fact a manifestation of Bearovan. |
| Statue gives rewards (a level!) to
various characters for making it this far; characters then leave. |
| Jun 28 |
Continue exploring island looking for
Gunther; clobber some local wildlife. |
| Jun 29 |
Somehow, a Demon is summoned. Ancalidon
killed; his corpse is immediately taken over by the Demon
and then slain again, and Cybal is able to banish the Demon. |
| Gareth sleeps with Asha. |
| Jun 30 |
Leave island, heading for Nilareth's
home. |
| Jul 5 |
Arrive Nilareth's; forced to wait for
her to return; Connie retires at this point, but hangs
around for awhile. |
Surviving members: Cybal(NrC-6), Asha(R-5), Amberyle(I-4/T-3),

Caverns); Connie
Casualties: Gunther, (Ancalidon - raised later)
Continuing party(to Interlude): Cybal, Asha, Amberyle, Jamie,
Nathan, Magnolia, Gareth
34. Interlude June-July
1990
Background and summary: while waiting for others to finish
training etc., Cybal, Jamie, Magnolia, and Amberyle go off and
find some bandits the hard way. Realizing these bandits are part
of a much larger group, they round up the rest of the Party
- along with some new recruits - and take the bandits out in short
order. Then, a much longer round of training and treasury
follows.
Starting members(from Forest Ruins 2):
Cybal(NrC-6), Asha(R-5), Amberyle(I-4/T-3), Jamie(F-4), Nathan(R-3/MU-2),
Magnolia(T-2), Gareth(F-2/MU-3)
| Jul 9 487 |
Cybal, Jamie, Amberyle, and Magnolia
grow tired of waiting for Nilareth to get home, and decide to
take a short trip somewhere. |
| Jul 10 |
They meet and befriend a wandering
minstrel on the road: Morgie(B-3) joins. |
| Jul 11 |
