I feel like Lampsur would probably end up hurting us or something.

Let’s check out the tents.

You wend your way through the horses, easily hiding among the many different creatures. As you travel, unless you possess the skill of Hunting, you must eat a meal or lose 3 Endurance Points. Moving stealthily along, you soon come to a hastily constructed tower in the middle of this holding area. Curious, you silently move closer until you are alongside the building. Inside, you hear the flap of wings. Moving to the unguarded doorway you observe the lock.

You sneak beyond the stable area and approach ever closer to the end of the enemy encampment. It is only then that you detect that someone or something has been on your trail ever since you landed. Looking back you notice a shape stealthily approaching faster than you can run away. It is then that you also notice that you have been lead into a trap. Somehow the enemy knows where you are headed and your exact location. You are surrounded by shapes coming ever closer in a solid circle of warriors. There is no hope of escape.

Looking back you see that the leader is none other than Supreme Kai Master Rune Fire himself. Taking the task of destroying you as his primary goal, he has tracked you not only since you landed, but ever since you left your quarters this morning. He is not one to take chances at letting Naar's desires become a reality.

With a shout you charge him, but he simply looks at you and you fall to the ground writhing as he assails your mind with his own mental assault. Blinded by agony, you never see the circle close around you, or feel the blades descending as they send you into an oblivion from which you will never awake.

Death count: 2

Should we try the siege weapons, field hospital, or tents now?

The surrender one was fair enough, this one though? Oh you chose the most sensible-sounding option, to go steal a horse to get away on? LOL you die.

Field Hospital still sounds like a good place to war crime for the glory of Naar

Would we have been able to get away if we'd had Mindshield there, or was this just a straight up 'gently caress you, you die'?

You enter the living area of many of the troops of the armies. Behind you shouts exclaim that the enemy has been sighted entering into this area. You decide the best option is to hide in one of the many tents. In front of you lie three such tents of differing colors.
Which tent will we hide in? Green, white or blue?

White's got to be poshest, it's hardest to keep clean. And that means the best loot!

Birth of the Dark One posted:

You enter the blue tent and suddenly halt--certain that you have made a fatal mistake. A Member of the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star stands there, angrily, and raises his hands to attack you. A bolt of lightning races from his hands towards your face.

The searing lightning bolt catches you in the chest. Pick a number from the Random Number Table. The result is the amount of damage you take. (In this case, 0=10) If you possess the skill of Hunting you may deduct 3 from the amount of damage you take. Before the Magician can cast another spell you attack him.

We roll: 3 - 3 = 0.

The tent is burning around you. Making a cursory glance around the tent you may grab the following items:
  • Crystal Star Pendant (SI)
  • Potion of Alethar +2 CS for one combat only
  • Dagger
  • Shortsword
  • Staff
The fire is attracting the attention of a large crowd and you must find another place to hide quickly.

Automatically took Pendant & Potion.
Should we hide in the green or white tent, or run away?

You enter through the green doorway of the tent to find you have made a terrible mistake. Inside sits a Kai Master. Warned by his sixth sense he looks up and notices you standing in the doorway. Growling, he draws his sword and attacks you. You have no choice but to fight back.

Kai Master: Combat Skill 25 Endurance 28

You are being attacked by a powerful mindblast. Unless you possess the discipline of Mindshield, you will lose 2 points of Endurance at the beginning of every combat round. The Kai Master is also immune to Mindblast.

Let's try the white tent instead, shall we?

You race into the white tent to find it deserted. It seems that this is the tent of some Vassagonian Noble. Searching through the tent you find the following items which may be of use.
  • A grey key (SI)
  • A coil of rope
  • A Shortsword
  • A Spear
  • A staff
  • A potion of Laumspur restore 4 Endurance
After waiting a while you decide it is safe to leave the tent.

Automatically took Key, Rope & Potion.

You hurry onwards and find yourself faced with a choice.

You may either head into an area which appears to be a hospital for injured troops or you may continue onwards into an area that appears to be a stable for mounts
Hospital or stable?

You enter an area filled with wounded and injured. You manage to throw off any pursuers you may have as you journey through this area. Near the border of the section of the camp partitioned off for the hospital, you come across a giant pile of stones used for ammunition for catapults. Staring at this huge pile, an evil idea comes to mind of how to injure the injured even more.
Shall we do a war crime, or leave?
