Greyhawk 6: Gobs on the Vine
General Summary
Findere's Retellings of the Adventure at the Guildhall in Greyhawk
A group of us; Dax, me, Willow, & Lightbringer; fervently traveled to the Cursed Chateau over near Greyhawk Castle. We were going there to hunt goblins, slay spiders, & maybe put a ghost to rest and boy howdy did we find goblins. 18 of them, plus 2 orcs, trying to ransack a shrine! Dax expertly bonded, tricked, & bamboozled the orcs to give Willow a chance to cast the strongest vine entanglement I've ever seen! All 20 of the fellas were stuck fast. From there, it was easy work for Dax & I to shoot them all down from afar. Miles & Willow helped where they could, but bows are especially nice when taking pot-shots at trapped enemies. If they hadn't been evil & elf-hating, it might have made me concerned for myself for how eager & willing I was to kill them so coldly...
Anyways, after slaying the gobs & orcs, we looked around the shrine and found a pentagram, a potion table, some papers, & a cool mirror. Turns out, Willow & Dax saw an orc chieftain in the reflection claiming to be trapped. The mirror had some serpents along the frame, and appears to be some sort of magic that I would love to dissect at a later time. The orc chieftain claimed to be able to offer riches, fame, et cetera if we released him but I was more interested in the mirror itself and we couldn't figure out how to get him out anyways, even if we wanted to. A puzzle for another day.
