Adventurers: Arusha - The Bird Man Blackeye (they thief who looks like Blackeye, but isn't really him because we would never keep such company) Enna of PoB Cortland Andrus of VoP Proletarian of VoP Priest - a man of the cloth devoted to healing RheLjik the Capital Lumberjack Roland Deschain - an unexpected pirate captain Sunsal_Hanmari - A first time Adventurer with Paws! Lanfear The Unlucky but still Good-hearted Iago - the guy in a leather suit who really cares about Polar Bears Lestat - The indispensable bard ********************************************************************************* The Community Against Really Evil Bear Eating and Rude Slayers, (aka C.A.R.E.B.E.A.R.S.), discovered that some rideable polar bears had been captured by poachers and taken to Hythloth to be sold to Balrons who apparently enjoy Polar Bear as a rare delicacy. The group, unable to inflict harm on any creature beyond forcing them to endure unending protests, sought the assistance of Catalin of Paws to do their dirty work for them. Catalin, no stranger of perilous prospects, accepted the daring quest not knowing that he would be taken prisoner as well with the Balrons! When Catalin awoke, he found himself in an odd company of folks who under different circumstances would not be so willing to aid one another. But given everyone's deep affinity for polar bears, and their strong inclination to not die, they all set forth to escape Hythloth with the Polar Bears! At one point some even said that somebody with the likeness of @BlackEye was among our company, but I contest that fact. I did see the famed Phoenix Armored Hero of The Galvanized PipeRepairmen, but I assure you, there was nobody named Blackeye in our company. Such a scrupulous bandit would never be caught among such company! General rules of this quest: If you die in the escape from Hythloth, you don't get rezzed. If we all die, our party is wiped. Escape Hythloth with Polar Bears alive (check) Run to Fire Temple and kill 2 or 5 dragons for no apparent reason (check) Construct a boat large enough to fit 5 ostards, 2 horses, 10 grown men, 1 woman (check) Fight off an unexpected pirate attack by the nefarios Roland Deschain (check) Almost get boat stolen by 5D (check) Get back to Moonglow Zoo before the close on Sunday (fail) Given that we achieved 5 out of 6 goals, I declare this adventure a success! (Note: No actual polar bears were harmed in the filming of this story. Some polar bears did sustain heavy lesions, but we expect them to make a full recovery once the zoo opens and takes them into their care center)
Sometime in the far future, historians and archeologists will discover the classified prequel to the 'Polar Bear Escapades':
Indeed, was a great adventure from beginning to end. Got a little sea sick in the middle of it. But very much enjoyed the time. Great group of adventurers as well.
