Joe Boxer's Synopsis
on 'The
Confused Wizard Appears'.
written by: Jacob Duclos
(gamed played on Thursday, July 31)
This is my synopsis
when we
first found the Confused Wizard, not sure when
the date was, but Jeremy, Nick, Mike, Andy, and me were with.
My adventure
started off
when I was talking to my good friend Urza, and we
thought we should visit Acirema again. We both knew a
couple
of good
adventurer's that we could bring along, and I remembered about
a
level one
fighter I have played with before. So we went and told
the
people about our
adventure to Acirema, and they wanted to come with.
We went over to
the nearest
teleporting station and teleported to Acirema.
When we got there, we bought some new horses because it is
cheaper.
We made
sure everyone had iron rations and everyone was with us.
The
four other
adventurers' that were with me were Bob, a level 5
cleric.
Urza, a level 4
fighter. Derick, a level 4 fighter. Herc, a level
1
fighter. Joe, a level
4 cleric, and this is me.
We talked to the
bartender
that was there last time, and he gave us the
directions again. So we headed out on our
adventure.
The first day we came
to the fork in the road. We ate supper here and
continued
on to the left,
Urza and I were not sure which way it was. We took the
trail
until we got
to a swamp, I said to Urza that I did not like this at all,
and
we should go
back to the fork and camp there. He agreed and we went
back.
The shifts were Bob and Derick, then Herc and I, and then
Urza.
We flew by
the first two shifts with nothing at all, and then the third
shift
we got
hit big. Luckily, Urza was drinking a lot of coffee or
something
because he
wasn't even tired. He saw them right away. He woke
me
up immediately, and
we waited for a little bit. There were six of them, and
they
were walking
down the trail. We saw that they were humans and woke
everyone
up just in
case, we learned this from a past experience we had with some
wereboars.
Everyone was awake and Urza and I were asking them if they had
any
magical
weapons, they said they might. Then they made a smart
comment
about that
they were looking for magical items and they were going to
take
ours. You
never tell a man with a girdle of storm giant strength
this.
So urza and I
took care of it.
We knew that we had curses now, so the next morning, we
headed straight
to
town. The last time this happened to me I had to pay
1,500
gold for the
cure, but now for some reason we needed 6,000 each, and we did
not
have
this. We sat there confused thinking of ways we could
get
some money. We
figured that the least we were going to need would be 12,000
to
18,000.
Because Urza and Bob were hurt the most in the battle, they
needed
it the
most. I was hit for 8 damage, and Derick was hit for 6
damage.
The other
person that really needed it was Herc, but he was level 1 and
I
wasn't
worried. So we didn't have enough gold, and we were in
trouble.
So I told
Urza that the only way to pay for this is to sell the Rod of
Resurrection
we
found the game before. We thought about and finally
agreed
that we had no
other choice. I got 10,200 for it, which made me mad, it
was
worth at least
30,000, but we needed the money. So we went back and
found
out that only 2
people needed it, and this information would have been helpful
earlier.
Urza and Herc needed it, Urza paid for his own and Herc was
broke
and of
course I am the only one with gold, so he comes to me. I
finally
gave it to
him and then we continued on with our adventure.
On our way back to the dungeon we passed some huge snake
like creatures
that
looked like mini-dragons or something. We just kept on
going
not even
stopping to look. That night we had the same shifts, and
of
course, the
action was on third shift again. Mike w
We made it to the dungeon and Urza and I opened the huge
doors.
I opened
one of the doors on our way and a claw came out and almost hit
me,
but I
closed the door just in time. Urza and I decided we
could
kick the door
down, and then kill the creature behind the door. As we
were
kicking it the
door flew open and Urza and I went falling to the
ground.
There we saw a
gargoyle, and a couple more behind him. This was the
worst
battle I have
ever fought in all of the games I've played. Urza was
the
only player with
a magical weapon, so I sat there hitting mine across the room,
until
Urza
got to me. We couldn't do anything in this battle except
take
hits while
Urza killed them one by one. He finally killed all
of
them, we got
everyone as close to their maximum hit points and continued on.
We went to the next door in the room and went down the
hall.
There was a
door that we didn't make it to last time we were here.
Urza
walked into the
room and it was a wish room, now Urza remembering that I don't
have
an arm,
wished for a Ring of Regeneration. After he said that we
all
waited for
something to happen, but nothing did. We looked in the
bowl
and saw nothing
at all. So we continued on with our adventure into the
next
room. In that
room we saw a kobold, which I wanted to beat so bad. He
said
that he would
give us something for some magic, we said screw off, but then
Derrick
the
moron took one of our amulets and threw it to him. So he
jumps
and goes
through a trap door we knew about, so I ran and grabbed the
bag
with the gem
in it and took off, because the room was caving in for some
reason.
We took
off going down the hall and made it to the main hall.
Here
we went to the
East through a couple of doors and opened a door with like 3
orcs
or
something, we made fun of them and slaughtered
them.
After that, we opened another door, and found some wizard
guy, who
didn't know what he was doing and who he was. We gave him some
food,
he asked were Baltimore was, I told him to go to I94, so he left, we
watched
him go down the hall, and he looked at a door, and says, "Oh, it's
I-94",
and walks in. We go down there to check it out, and see I-94 on
the
door, so I open it, and see some black stuff with white lines on
it.
Some of my party members walk in, and when they look back, they don't
see
anything. I can see them, but they can't see me. So they
are
standing there, no clue what to do, and a Saber Tooth Tiger comes out
and
attacks them. So I am standing there, all by myself in a dungeon,
and they are in the 21st Century. So I do spiritual hammer, and
start
hitting the tiger, they kill it, and then the confused wizard comes, I
throw a rope out to them, and the wizard starts taking it, so I take
it
back, and walk in.
Then, we are back in Givemea, we identify all the
stuff
we found, and ended our adventure.
