Mongoose
I have no idea if this sort of thing is encourged on this forum as I don't see too many other game blogs being posted...
There will probablty be spoilers in these as many of our adventures are based off the pre-written Mongoose ones so don't complain because i have warned you... :wink:
Anyhow if this brakes some of the forum rules just shout.
I am not GM'ing this game I am just one of the players...
Ravens in Roost
(this week in the style of the greek poet, Homer)
Our tale begins late one afternoon as a group of weary travellers find themselves on the outskirts of a small Duck village called Roost. The Ducks of Roost are peaceful folk who, although having had trouble with neighbouring human towns, like to go about their business of harvesting the Garlic Lilies and enjoying hassel-free lives. However this particular evening turned out to be one the Ducks will not forget for a long time.
Soon after sundown a black feathered duck, out of breath and run ragged, stumbled into the local tavern. He begged for shelter and protection. You see, he was being chased by murderous beasts of men known as Broo. He had been chased from his home and across many leagues by the vile beasts and he could go no further...
The four travellers revealed themselves to be men of great valour and honour as they stepped forward to protect this weary refugee but no sooner had they hurried him off to a safe hiding place than the shouts and snarls of the evil Broo could be heard from across the village.
The ghastly creatures set about their grim task ransacking first one building and then another until our heroes could stand it no more.
Isaaries, of Barbarian decent who could play the sweetest and most haunting of all tunes on his lute, was the first to charge with axe raised. He clashed with the largest of the creatures head on. In a shower of blood he was thrown backwards his face a ragged ruin, his body unmoving...
Brave Sir William, who travelled distant lands carrying messages of diplomacy and peace or when there was need messages of war, took aim with his crossbow and loosed a flashing bolt. His aim was true and one of the filthy beasts was wounded.
Kind hearted Robert, seeing his good friend Isaaries, of the nimble fingers, laid low by the filthy creatures pushed forwards. He leapt into the fight his mighty kite shield and broad sword striking all about, forcing the evil creatures away from the body of Isaaries.
At that instant Polynikes, skilled of the hunt, dashed forwards throwing his short spear at the nearest, hulking Broo warrior. The warrior was cunning and avoided the flashing spear. But Polynikes continued his charge and wielding his long spear impaled the hapless beast.
Our Heroes fell upon the wicked creatures with savagery and skill, William with his solid club, Robert with flat blade and broad shield and Mathew with long spear.
But it was all in vain.
Little known to our bold heroes the fight had been nothing but a divertion. The Duck with black feathers was duplicitous, evil and perverse. Whilst the simple Broo warriors had provided a short lived diversion our black feathered friend had made off with the village’s harvest of Garlic Lilies as well as kidnapping two children.
Our Heroes gave chase across the countryside and it was Robert and Polynikes who closed first with the vile creature. Before they could bring their weapons to bear on Black Feather he revealed his chaotic powers and blasted the dirt at their feet turning it to glass. Undeterred by this mystical attack both warriors engaged this most malevolent of creatures. With steeled nerves and great skill they struck down Black Feather ending him and his schemes.
However of our stories main players one final task was still required.
Black Feather had been able to hand over the innocent Duck children to three colossal Broo warriors who wielded rusted axes and wicked swords. What the Broo planned for these poor Duck children was utterly unthinkable.
And so it was, on that fateful night, musical Isaaries, recovered of his wounds, brave Sir William, kind hearted Robert and sharp eyed Polynikes stood together and fought these vile, murderous and perverted creatures. They fought for what was right and just, and they triumphed over evil.
