There was a bonfire with spits large enough for even Kindrock to be toasted head to foot. The cage was in the center of the village, near a large cooking pot. The cage was littered with bones, some of which looked gnawed upon. Eventually they arrived at the Halfling village and after being shoved into a wooden cage, they had a chance to remove the blindfolds and look around. The party was blindfolded and marched for many hours along a jungle path winding through the mountains. They also spoke only their own dialect although the pointing and rubbing of bellies gave the characters some idea of what lay in store for them. They had sharpened bones through their noses, body piercings, tattoos, and were savages. The Halflings wore crude leather armor and wielded wooden spear and clubs. They were also unused to the net of rope vines that dropped over them, or of the tribe of cute and cuddly savages that poked at them with spears while shouting Chibi chibi chibi! Captured by Halflings! And so the prophecy came to pass… It was amazing to them, and it was difficult to breathe, since their bodies were unused to such humidity. The air was moist, and they saw no sand, but verdant foliage covered the land and sky. These hejkin left quite a stash behind! And finally they saw a sliver of light ahead ,and crawling through the muck, they pulled themselves out of the earth and into a muddy clearing. After that fell pit of character recycling, they came to the treasure trove that gave each of them their magic items. It was in these tunnels that we lost a few members and gained new ones, for those who look for story continuity. So, after the boons were handed out and the party rested, they knew they would have to go through the hejkin tunnels to escape. Each of the 3 pre-gens were actually re-created with different power choices and other changes. Jarvix, Barcan and Barcans Twin, and pakCha were each described as falling into a bottomless pit right before rounding a corner and coming upon a group of 2 wizards, and the triumphal return of Midget the sorceress from season 1. Unchanged from chapter 2, we have Phye Dos, or Fido for short, and the 2 fighters, Yuka and Kindrock. ![]() They are pretty fun, and as we will discover, a few of the powers were used during this encounter, so I am happy with the choice of giving out these psionic talents as boons instead of the pathetic belt of electric boogy dancing or whatever was the item described on fabled page 8. 81 of the Dark Sun Campaign Guide.) These talents are excellent little at-will powers with various affects from sparking a small fire, telepathy, telekinesis of small objects and so on. ![]() So doing, they each got to pick a wild talent (from p. These spirits were shrewd to look around and go with the groveling boon-granting tactic.Īnd so each character was tasked with looking into their minds eye, and with the spirits aid, they were able to open their mind to the wild talents that lie dormant in each one of them. Let the facts speak for themselves: the room was littered with the corpses of hejkins, dust bunnies, wraiths (do they leave a corpse?) and the spirit of the air, or whoever that guy was. None of it made much sense to a group of hardened desert marauders who want nothing more than to kill things and take their stuff, but hey, no one turns down praise, even if it is ill conceived and non-sequitur. The spirits who came down to congratulate the party on defeating last weeks undead bunny herder were suitably impressed with the characters, that they proceeded to go into a great babbling speech about arcane magic, defiling, and preserving. On the other hand, for the boon I decided to go with something with a little more Dark Sun flair than the adventure calls for. This week however, having finally discovered page 8 (I swear it wasn’t there before) I found out exactly how the capture by Halflings happened. Ah well, we usually run late by a few minutes, so my wrap ups end up next weeks warm ups. This mystery page explains all about boons and Halflings. Turns out there is a page 8 to the adventure that I had never seen before. ![]() In fact the session ended with the mysterious granting of a boon by who knows who. Week 11 began with a simple question that blew everyones mind. Chibi - chibi!Did I mention everyone was captured by Halflings?
