"If you save us, we can pay you!"

"What? No, we just—that's all we've seen down here. They waylaid us on the road and brought us here. Please get us out."

But not for a while!

Dorgath opens the door, revealing a bent corridor. Three dirty, haggard men in rags are cowering in the corner. They appear to be unarmed. One of them is elderly and is leaning on another, a young man, for support. The third man moves in front of the others and speaks in a weak voice... "Well...

That's great. I've always felt that there was something special about the old cards, even when I was new to the game (late 1990's) I had a fondness for the older sets. There's also some pretty cool stuff that's been coming out more recently, and I'm sure he's seen some of that too. The game is...

Dorgath catches some sounds behind the door. It sounds like breathing and then someone distant saying something, followed by another voice closer to the door. Dorgath only catches the last few words... "...they're coming back!"

The cave-in has covered over a quarter of the room's surface area and left the rest of the floor covered in dust and scattered rocks. Still, Dorgath's search does turn up one item of interest: another one of those magic runes for attaching to a weapon. This one is highly stylized. Dorgath can't...

-Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz fully restores him. -Kelgar fails to bless anything. -Carrow holds the lantern out in front of his body like it's a shield. He gets +0 Toughness and monsters are at -0 to hit him. -A cave squig clamps its jaws onto Throg's head (13/19). -A cave squig tries to maul...

Before the squigs have a chance to charge him, Throg deftly moves behind Kelgar for cover while switching weapons and placing the lantern in the corner of the room. -The Power Phase is 2 for this turn. -Kelgar fails to bless anything. -Dorgath throws Flash Powder (1 bag remaining) to disorient...

Hard name to remember, right? She was an Italian neurologist and the longest-living Nobel prize winner (died yesterday at 102). She discovered nerve growth factor and epidermal growth factor. When she was hiding from Nazis, she cooked and ate leftovers from her experiments on chicken embryos in...

Happy new year. Well, not yet. Not for me, anyway. It's 2013 somewhere, though.

Part fungus and part flesh, cave squigs are almost all teeth, easily able to take a man's leg off with a single bite. The goblins that live in the caves and tunnels under the Worlds Edge Mountains hunt wild squigs. When trained (and even when they're not), the squigs are used as guard dogs or...

Merry Christmas.

Carrow cannot identify the symbols. Kelgar examines them over Dorgath's shoulder... "Well, they're not elven and they don't look like the chaos sigils we saw earlier or anything like what the necromancer was using. I'm not a wizard, but I think this is not human magic at all. Perhaps monsters...

Once the party cross over to the other side of the corridor, Dorgath opens the door, revealing another room. Guttering candles bathe this room with an eerie glow, their light glancing off the magic sigils and arcane symbols painted on the floor. The room stinks with an overwhelming stench of...

Other than dead bats and the stone dwarf and goblins, the room seems to be bare.

-Kelgar blesses Carrow with Vanquish. Carrow gets an extra attack this turn. -Carrow almost shoots his own eye out. That's why his mother didn't want him to have a bow as a child? -Carrow tries again, successfully plinking a bat. Or is it plinking an arrow into a bat? Whatever. A bat dies...

Dorgath looks to see if anything in the room might have made the sound Carrow heard. It was probably the giant bats that are now attacking... -A giant bat ambushes Dorgath. The dwarf's armor shields him from the beast's claws. -A giant bat ambushes Throg, but passes over his head. -A giant bat...

Now that I think about it, the Final Fantasy games probably do show the sun exploding or something like that, but come on, that's silly. The sun isn't big enough to go supernova. Everyone knows that. Also, how could anyone use it more than once? Do you reassemble the sun after using the spell so...

Dorgath swings the door open to reveal a bizarre tableau, frozen in stone, showing a dwarven warrior holding aloft a huge axe as if to strike at some ferocious beast. Two goblins running for the door are frozen where they stand.
