Well, that was a interesting
D&D session.
Our
gaming group has been having scheduling difficulties this summer, so we have been working on individual quests and such. My turn came this morning. Well, yesterday really, but my character sheet went missing.
Nathan wrote a nice mission for my character. I'm playing a Ranger, so naturally the mission involved scouting and some military work. It went roughly as follows:
First I sought out a large Orc army that was camping in the forrest. Then I followed part of the army to a town. The army surrounded the town. So I snuck into the town to warn the populace. The populace goes, woe is us, you have experience, here, you are in charge of defending the town. Now the town only had 100 or so trained fighters to go against a 2000-strong Orc army, so naturally I didn't want a fair fight.
The town was surrounded by fields of grain. The village had plenty of oil. So I do the obvious thing, wait until the army attacks and burn the fields. Mass roast Orc anyone?
Now Paul is calling me
Josef because I used a defensive scorched earth strategy. I think technically it was Alexander who started
that policy, but Josef is far more infamous.
And now, I leave to drive four hours south to visit my parents. One of my brothers has a birthday party this weekend. Plus there is plenty of room to work at my parents house. I still have a CompSci project to finish and a server to configure for a church forum.
