Bay 12 Games Forum

Yep, it's all yours. I played one of the early tribes games and ran the one that this one is based off of, so I've had my fair share of tribe games.

The dreaded fife of Stan'la spits out a fell tune (5+1=6), and the entire party starts thrashing about wildly (1). Lisaca is relatively undisturbed (3), Nimitz sinks up to his neck in the quicksand (1), Saragoth escapes unscathed but notices Nimitz' peril (3), ExKirby is unaffected (5), and the fifer himself drops his fife into the quicksand (2).

Lisaca, ignoring the fifing, attempts again to heal herself (6-1=5) and channels healing majic to heal her wounded hands.

Nimitz cries out for help after his wild thrashing, but even the act of screaming sinks him deeper (6). Half of his head, including his nose, is all that is left above the sand.

Saragoth cautiously walks forward and reaches out towards Nimitz with his staff. It reaches there (3), but the archer has nothing to grab it with.

ExKirby once again attempts to fly, and once again finds he has no idea how to do that (3).

I yell at the engineers to snap them out of their stupor and continue to protect them.

I start crying because I am an elite soldier and can't even run properly.

Saragoth grabs a stick and puts some fancy fire spell on it to make a torch, but the moisture in the air immediately puts it back out (1+1=2). Further attempts finish the same way.

ExKirby tries to fly and realizes that he can't, in fact, fly (3). Thankfully, he doesn't hurt himself.

Nimitz, without the torch, heads forward to the edge of the lake. As he does so, he doesn't realize that he is walking into some quicksand (1). Before he even realizes it, his feet are stuck solid, and he's sinking slowly.

Lisaca, unsure of how to really do any healing, attempts to peel off the blisters on her hands (1). This really, really hurts and makes her hands very clumsy.

Stan'la expertly scoops up some mud and places it over the crack on the fife (5), fixing it perfectly. As he walks forward, he sees Nimitz stuck in the quicksand, and stops.

Moving away from the smoldering, stone-encased dwarf, the party begins its journey to the wizard's tower.

Saragoth, examining the scroll as the group walks, inadvertently triggers the shock again (1). His hands receive a bad burn, and the scroll is consumed in magical energy (3).

Stan'la cleans his fife as they go along (6), forcing all of the mud out of the fife but noticing a slight crack in the fife as he does so. Fortunately, the crack isn't very bad (4) and it should be able to play still.

Nimitz, feeling somewhat upset at setting Aelreth aflame, is feeling quite hostile. However, he is able to successfully contain his anger towards the party and succeeds at not punching Stan'la (5).

The journey to the lake is pleasant, and the group arrives there unharmed (5). Floating above the fog-covered lake is a massive tower, tethered to no land. It must be the wizard's tower.

ExKirby takes this time to look around the wreckage for anything that could be useful (1). As he does so, a beam that was hanging precariously falls towards him, but he dodges out of the way (4+1=5). There is nothing worth taking left intact.

Nimitz attempts to fan the flames out, but ends up only stoking them (1) to greater heights. The dwarf is consumed in a raging inferno.

Stan'la works on playing a healing song with his fife, but it is still clogged with mud (1+1=2) and no sound comes out.

Lisaca attempts to make stone armor around the burning dwarf, and is successful (3+1=4). Stone encases him and the flames are put out. After all of the fire and collapsing houses, though, he is clearly dead.

Saragoth examines the area, looking for anything useful (6). He finds a small scroll of paper, which he picks up. As he does so, a spell of shocking flies off of it, but he is able to effectively dispel it (5).

Opening the paper, he sees directions to the wizard's tower of residence, on a lake near the quarry.
