Yo! If you guys want, I can post some maps either tonight or tomorrow. I finally went to Staples, and got some maps scanned into my USB device. We can see some of the wonderful places Senor Kramer has brought us to. Can you dig it?

Ok.....the campaign journal of Kramerland continues....

We're in a wizard's tower, presumably to prevent him from kidnapped. I'm not completely sure how we got there, as I was dozing off a bit, but I do recall that entry to the tower was quite easy. The layout:

We're entering a large stone tower, 30 feet in diameter, and 40 feet high. It's weird because the map that MeatLips (Senor Kramer) had for the module doesn't seem to fit the dimensions of what it should look like, even if the description he gave us is technically correct. His map has a slender-looking tower in it, but 30 by 40 feet is not slender. It's chunky. Well, whatever..



Anyway, we enter the tower, and.....

...it was quiet. Until it became not quiet.

We're suddenly assaulted by 20 orcs. :hmm:

These brutes run down the spiral staircase towards us, wielding their great axes. Well, there's a problem with that. For starters, a great axe is a good-sized weapon, that logically needs some room to use. We're standing in a pie-shaped chamber that is less than one-fourth the size of this cylindrical 30-foot diameter tower. That means that at its widest point, the room will be, um...."very small". How are all of these guys gonna fit in here, and then attack 4 other guys (and 3 cats)? I'm just not seeing it. :nono:

Well, hey...let's forget logic, and simply ignore all common sense, and just fight. So that's what we do. My character, Hrothgar, uses Burning Hands, which fills up practically the entire room, and decimates 15 of them. I think Reven (Mutt's character) and Kratos (immurx's character) nail three others, but two of the orcs flee for their lives. Okay..

So we gallump up the stairs, and the guys beat the crap out of 8 more orcs. My cats and I watch.

After this, details get kinda blurry. We go into a side chamber (or something), while dozens of orcs go into the area where we just nailed 18 other orcs. I'm pretty tired (sleep-deprived), so normally, I'd use better tactics, but while we deliberate about what to do, I just say "fuck it", and decide to go all Rambo on their asses. So I run down the stairs, and see fifty fucking orcs with crossbows pointed right at me.

That's pretty fucking impressive.

Think about it. Fifty orcs. Standing over 18 corpses. In a room less than one-fourth the size of a 30-foot diameter cylinder. MeatLips....for the love of Gawd, what were you thinking? This adventure became like that joke about finding 100 orcs in a 10-foot by 10-foot room guarding a treasure chest. What happened?

It's not that they can't fit in there; it's that it'll be so tight in that room, they'll be like ass-to-mouth in there.

Seriously, it would be like tossing 18 guys on the floor of Mutt's bedroom, then tossing in some furniture, and then tossing in fifty more fucking guys with big fucking axes and crossbows, and expecting them to actually fight the four of us (in real life) and Mutt's three (real-life) cats. Then we're supposed to go in there and tackle them?

Man, what? :huhsign:

Well..

My character, Hrothgar (wisely) stops at the doorway to the room, and blasts them with a Burning Hands spell. Sadly, they don't die, and erase this sad chapter from gaming history. They do, however, transform my character into a human pincushion. It is only Reven's (Mutt's) timely intervention that saves Hrothgar's life (thanks, Reven/Mutt). Horatio (immurx's character) then pulls me outta there, while immurx's other character, Kratos, goes all Matrix on their collective orcish ass.

I'm not going to explain what happened next, or how, or even why. I will only say that what happens next goes down in gaming history as the third-weirdest moment for me and my kind.

Suffice it to say that 50 orcs are dead in a single round, and all by Kratos's hand...in melee combat. Never mind that none of those motherfuckers can fit in there, but whatever! Let's just roll with it. In this battle, I think Reven (Mutt) injured a couple, and my character, Hrothgar, injured all of them, but Kratos (imurrx) wiped them all out.

ALL. OF. THEM. DEAD. :jaw-dropping:

I don't remember much after that, though I vaguely remember my conversation with imurrx on the phone the following day. Apparently, we're well on our way to 7th-level, already....

Actually square footage wise, my bedroom would be bigger.

Quote from: Mutt;288695Actually square footage wise, my bedroom would be bigger.

lol! You hear that, MeatLips? His bedroom would be bigger. Wait, I know what you have to say. The orcs were made of newspaper? They were really origami? Perhaps, they all magically spawned from the Orc Dimension, and they vanish when they die. Naw, it couldn't have been that....:rolleyes:

Yes, I'm busting your balls.

Okay, I have some maps, but I can't figure out how to post them. Photographs seem to be no problem, but I think these are .pdf files. I think. If any of you guys could help me (the computer illiterate guy) out with it, it would be greatly appreciated...

That 255 square feet in 4 equal partitions is  56.25 square feet. Each character occupies a minumum of 4 square feet if packed like sardine in a can.

Anyways. It was two rounds, and Krators (waforged fighter5/arficer1) had great cleave and killed 25 orcs in the first round because there were none in a 5' radius. Then the next round he cleaned up.

This is second on my list of weirdest things that happend in  a game. Top two, When Meatlips character got raped by a dragon when he was in his cursed sexchanged body, and my all time favorite when my psionic character Sar-Alec (2nd edition pre skills and powers) perminately dominated Godzilla in Baba Yaga's hut module.
