down and saw two skunks coming out of the bushes...It was a waste of a good rope trick so I came up and we had a bit of a snack, we ate onion and bacon...goodie...(DM was pissed off) We moved on only to come upon a very strange clearing...a giant came up from the ground, made of earth...he came at us but in spite of Atriks I stood the ground and didnt attack it...luckily for us it just wanted us to move away from his food, I was standing on his food, some roots...
Then I took my dagger with cont. light (a spell making something cast light) cast on it and made a message:
Dangerous monster ahead in the clearing, follow this path to avoid it Of course the path was to make the thief and the warrior go in the wrong direction and loose A LOT of time :)))) In the meantime..the other two had much truble convincing people not to go..wasted half a day...DM of course gave them horses for free, and gave them very fast horses indeed...
Fortunately they HAD to take the wrong detour :)))
I and Atriks came to the tower itself...and sat down in the bushes to think of the strategy...I cast wright form (a spell making me as a ghost...vaporous form) on myself and came up to the roof and entered a room (no people in it)...Inside the room there was a table and 4 alive daggers that sensed me...they came after me but I was incorporeal...they hacked the table...then I smeared myself upon the wooden cealing and stupid daggers got stuck in the wood...Hearing the noise Atriks begun climbing the vines to get to me...In that moment a man entered the room and seeing what was going on (or better to say, NOT seeing) called upon his master...as soon as the master came into the room I smeared myself around him (in case he called upon those daggers)...DM logically disarmed the daggers and the man begun detecting magic or invisible inside
the room...so I came to stand in such a way that I had both of the men in the line of fire...and prepared to let loose of the wright form and to cast LIGHTNING BOLT...So it hapenned, he was concentrated on the detection spell so I had just enough time to disperse wright form and finish casting LIGHTNING...it left my fingers and killed both men...blowing all the room about...At just the moment Atriks peered through the window and was lucky to have lowered his head just in time to avoid the window exploding into his face...lightning crackled over his head...
He yelled : COOOOMIIIIIIING!!!
And hearing that I begun running to the other room and was just about to jump into it when behind me a mighty fireball blasted carrying me on the shockwave to the other room...OUCH!
Demolition team back at their usual methods..
Walls colapsed and fire was everywhere, we killed two main enemies...and destroyed half the tower..and were alive...
DM took the monstrous manual and soon came up with a suitable revenge for the two of us...I made my way behind the door and waited for anyone to enter...Atriks cast mirror image making several exact copies of himself...at that time a warrior (psionic) entered the room and came at Atriks I got him from behind with burning hands and after that I cast mirror image 2..there were 12 of us black robed wizards in the room...soon several other fighters came, some of them changing shape...
I told them I have nothing against them but they were afraid (or the DM just wanted to kill us) so both of us cast color spray blinding all of them. After that we escaped throught the window casting fether fall :) We managed to get to the forest and sat there looking at the tower seeing that our two vigilant fighters were just arriving at the tower...
We took our onions and bacon and begun eating and observing...Look Atriks...the alarm and traps at the main door YUP, they are creamed...And at that moment all of the alarms activated and several explosions were heard....then screaming
and then clashing of weapons..DM was so very pissed that he had us caught in the arms of an earth elemental who carried us off...DM let the two assholes win, the fighters suddenly lost shapechanging and psionic abilities and so our "heroes" won...
They came after me and Atriks...when the night fell we were brought in front of an assembly of dark elves...they had some kind of an altar...and there were to many of them (cca 30) ... they told us they need our hearts for their amulet to work...
I cast detect magic on the altar (the spell makes magical items shine-and in realms others CAN see the light)...since it was HIGHLY magical it radiated intense light...drows sensitive eyes were hurt by that much light...Atriks cast mount and I cast invisibility 15 feet upon us...We begun running away, DM was very pissed and sent the drow against us riding griffons and
levitating...Fighter and thief came behind us (fools) and soon saw that was a bad idea...Fireballs were blasting around us and Atriks cast rope-trick and we jumped in it directly from the horse...We were safe...and the fools were in trouble (again)...high mage started casting some detection spell and we clearly were done for...DM was radiating with joy..
But then I decided to cast wright form inside the rope trick, since wright form sends you to negative plane...and no phyisical body can exist at the same time in more than 2 dimensions..I collapsed the space-time continuum :) and opened the gate to 9heavens...unicorns rode out and we won :)
Well at first DM didnt want to use the random table and tried to send us to Abyss...but we noticed that and forced him to go by the rules, and we were in luck...Since that time, that DM didnt run us a single adventure...
I cant understand some DM-s, why does everything have to be linear? why kill PC-s and enjoy it?
