For want of a shoe...
Mar. 9th, 2007 06:26 amIt was another session where I could put my notes aside, sit back and watch the mayhem unfold.
It all started as they were leaving the necropolis, contented and stuffed with barbequed roc. As Ralph and Esselt raced to the entrace to pick up more dead people's stuff, they found a couple of guards. It quickly became clear the necropolis was full of guards. They didn't seem particularly surprised or bothered by the party (they seemed to believe they were sight-seers), but they did want to make sure they weren't stealing from the dead.
So Bandez quickly dropped his coins and Ralph put his stuff in Esselt's pocket. Quick talking by Turk got them all through, but as they left the city, Ralph wanted his treasure back. There were a few brief tussels on the mountain side, but eventually Esselt gave the treaure to Bandez.
Ralph then decided that he wanted revenge. So, as they slept on the boat headng down river, he got up and attempted to steal one of Esselt's shoes. He got it off, but Esselt woke up. The resulting argument woke everyone else up, and ended up with Ralph standing by the window holding the shoe out over the river, Bandez attempting hostage negotiations and Turk drawing his sap.
After a while, Bandez got pissed off and went down the other end of the boat. Turk tried to subdue Ralph with the sap. Bandez saw the shoe and realised that he could probably grab it with a tumble and maybe avoid the water - if not, Ged could always pull him back on board with a rope. So, he goes for the shoe and grabs it. At that point, Turk has finished knocking Ralph out. The sudden weight of Bandez grabbing the shoe pulls him out of the window. Bandez has to drop the shoe to dive after Ralph and pull him to safety.
When all are safe, Esselt suddenly remembers something - those weren't just shoes. Thoes were his +2 boots of sneak given to him by Princess Miranda as a reward for rescuing her. One is now at the bottom of the river, and the other Ralph had turned into a hat. Fortunately Turk made him some new ones out of the boat's curtains. They were very nice, just bright blue.
