 summon undead as protector

Grey Book of the Orcs

Grey Book of the Orcs
  sweat magic - all spells require effort
  1/day detect poison or enemies (other side of book)
  teaches how to survive the winter
  how to find and grow crops in bad terrain
  how to best use even the dying for warmth and sustenance, what spoils first in the heat.

White book of St Mark's

White book of St Mark's
  all require something pure - like your soul (not really)

FC 19 - post GENCON - Dragon Problem?

Guest appear to include Brody and Natalie, we are probably missing Orion for the whole night.

How can I put a twist on the GENCON lucy-lou daddy story?  Shame for Orion to miss that, will seem more like Natalies Character relationship.  hmmm?

Change whole sequence?
  flashback, protective gear, dad and dragon?

dad/mom, different kid?  different dragon story?

or keep whole thread, add some approach encounters to make it the whole evening?

Or dump the idea, return to it later with Orion, and head south into?

WE have the knights of St Mark to meet, and their white book to investigate?

Time to define somethings about the books regardless
Time to read the Intelligent item rules? ... be right back.


If they head south, they should run into some resistance form the black army, scouts or an end around, which they can squash with the knights, or just watch them.

Then they should be sent south to rally the elves, who are drifting in their slumbering woods

------


If they head north to deal wih the dragon problem...


q? did they chase the orc through the town?

1- First they encounter some other Orc tribes ... bloody foot, red hand, blue moon, white clover.
  Remember Russian accent - this is all an Afghanistan reference after all.

Sent by the Countess to seek aid, the Knights of St John need help with Orcs, the Orcs sent a series of contests pitting our heroes against the Emmisaries of the Evil King, and the Orcs have a problem too ...
