Unexpected first line!!!
==== Voyager13 - 09 May 2003 - Trolls! ====
Previous calendar:
Third Age, Year 1108 9 Apr - Roderick heals the wizard Kendrick 14 Apr - Back on the trail. The remaining trip over the pass will be two weeks. 15 Apr - Battle with the Rain King!
I. Healing
After the battle with the Rain King, the party may need to rest and recuperate. Roderick will likely be able to patch everybody up in a day or two - which means they will probably depart again on the 17th. The party may also want to return to the tower and relay the news about the Rain King to Kendrick.
The rest of the 15th and the 16th it is overcast with some showers. But on the 17th, it clears up for a few days. The 18th is especially nice! Some people may take this as a sign.
The Rain King's loot:
Masterwork Chainmail (5'8"/170# - sized best for Roget, but others may fit)
AC bonus: +5, Max Dex bonus: +2, Armor check penalty: -4, Weight: 40#
Silver Holy Symbol to Matchitisiw
Masterwork Quarterstaff - +1 to Attack roll
+2 Dagger
+2 Short Sword
Matchitisiw's wedding ring (special for Roget)
If Roget decides to put on the ring he retrieved from the Rain King, give him the secret note below. If anyone else tries to put it on, they must make a Will roll against DC 20(?) or be unable. If they do, *someone* will be very pissed!
II. The trek across the pass
Overall success roll (high is good): 80
Two weeks was a good estimate. The trip is roughly equivalent to walking from Portland to Pendleton - or Portland to Roseburg - except that there are hills to navigate.
Encounters will be almost entirely natural - and the party will be able to easily avoid trouble. There are two exceptions, though:
18 April - from late afternoon into the next morning: 7 related encounters involving 4 Trolls (hp 58, 58, 62, and 73). Unlike normal Troll behaviour, these guys will stalk and harrass the party - attacking and fleeing as needed to keep the pressure up. Only if the party seeks them out will the four be stopped. Note: If the party seeks out the Trolls and discovers their lair, they will find a blue slaad head on a stick! It seems the trolls didn't take too kindly to being teleported around willy-nilly!
