Adventures of Pocky 2
Sep. 10th, 2006 09:46 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
This chronicles my first attempt to DM a Dungeons and Dragons campaign I made up (adventure date: September 8th, 2006) with my kid brother playing his new character Wizby Bookhollow. Pocky Stix Helphender Dracobus XVIII is my character, a chaotic-neutral gnome cleric who writes this account from her point of view. Note: the obnoxious factor of this character is highly grating... feel free to hate her. XD

-----------------------------------------
Wizby and me were riding my new pony along a forest road to a town to see if they had bunnies. Well, at least, I want bunnies but Wizby thinks they are scary. We both think puppies are scary so it's okay. The bunnies stay in the saddlebags most of the time anyways, they are very lazy. Wizby is a halfling fighter and she's shorter than me, haha. She has funny long braids and her hair is blue. I keep forgetting to ask her where she got such cool hair. I met her in a bar... I think... I don't really remember.
So there we are riding along laughing about psychic badgers when suddenly there's this noise. It's like... barking... oh right, it's probably kobolds. I know that because I'm so smart, not because I know what happens next in the story. So we get off Pony and go charging into the forest. There's this clearing and two kobolds looking upset that we've come across them looting some poor dead guy. They look a little scared that there's even numbers in this fight but they really wanted that loot. So we fought them and they died. The dead guy was an elf and there wasn't any way I could bring him back. Besides, he was all... gooey...
We found some stuff on him and he had five hundred gold!!! And a note and a map and junk. The map was the forest where we were, and the note was some kinda ransom note. "Take 500 gold to the huge hollow oak tree and blah blah blah or your daughter will die blah blah blah." Wizby said we should go take the gold to the tree and see what happens. We followed the map and went south to the tree. It was a big tree.
We looked in the hollow part and Wizby didn't see nothing but I saw a trap door! Haha I'm so good. We opened it and found a ladder into a passage. There were two ways to go, we went sorta north and saw some torch light ahead. Wizby tripped over a wire and a little bell went "jingle jingle" where the light was coming from. Oops. We peeked into the lighted area and could see some barrels on the far left and a tunnel with a dwarf standing in front of it on the right. There was a table in the middle of the room. Wizby of course goes charging but only makes it two steps and suddenly there's two dwarf thief looking guys on either side of her. They were hiding behind the doorway. Smarty pants.
And then the dwarf by the tunnel runs away into it and does something that makes the whole thing cave in over there. D'oh! But Wizby was busy fighting the dwarfs by us and I squeezed into the room enough to try and hit one of them. They were very hard to hit, dodging little freaks. Wizby was tough and strong though and eventually they both died. I had to heal Wizby cuz she got hurt bad.
Well once that was over we could hear something. There was a little elf girl crying behind the barrels. Wizby killed her. I thought that was a little mean but then I guess it sucked to be an elf that day. We got lots of cool stuff from that cave but it was kinda heavy. Then we went back past the ladder up to the hollow tree and explored the rest of the tunnels. We killed some icky centipedes and two more kobolds and a dog. Stupid dog, DIE DIE DIE. Icky dog. Not be making puppies ever again, ha!
So then we went out of a cave exit and found our way back to the road. I'd left Pony tied up by a tree and she looked annoyed that we had all this heavy junk. But we went to town anyways, she's a strong pony she can tough it out. In town there was a well with some women standing around it talking and Wizby and me talked to them. They called me rude, can you imagine!? Stupid people. Wizby got one lady talking though and she whispered a secret that she was worried about her husband dude. He was supposed to be ransoming their kid and hadn't come back yet. She wondered, since we were such brave, strong, uber looking adventurers, if we could somehow help?
Wizby said, "Oh we saw him after some kobolds killed him, so we took his stuff and we found your kid and killed her." The lady was all like "Oh migod" and then started screaming for guards. The guard people tumbled out of the guard house all drunk. Haha. Lamers. We rode off on Pony and decided to go find somewhere else to sell our crap.
That was nice, cuz we still had the 500 gold and got about 50 more for the loot. Wizby really wants a war pony, so we're in the market to pick one up if you know any good sellers. Preferably far away from that little town. It was called "Smallville."
