Complete restart, or same plot and new item.  I have a new plot idea, if that's
what we need...

I think we should have a new plot.

Count me in, but can I make a new character for it?
I took the liberty of making a character creation item for this new adventure,
with my new character in it.

Alright.  JK has his new character.  Everybody else has the same character they
had in escape from draj, unless they tell me otherwise.

I want to be the same

All right, then!  Let the new adventure begin.  You have been freed from the
slavery in the pit at Draj, but you never forgot what you went through
together, and some of you have continued to adventure together.  You all still
live in the same town, and, though you don't know it, are about to have the
adventure of your lives!  Rumors have been spreading, of course.  They tell of
strange beasts and deformed men gathering in the desert.  They tell of a
twisted defiler seeking to bring the world under his yoke.  Nobody is sure what
is  going to happen, but all are prepared for the worst...

Aha! are they human scum? IF so then I shall go c round up my comraddes and go
charging into battle!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA <Ragnar goes insane and jumps up and down>

Well, ragnar, it ain't that simple.  You see, nobody knows which of the rumors
is true, and which is just a crazy rumor.  But, as I said, everybody is
prepared for the worst.  In recent days, massive voyages have begun to the
"protection" of large cities, and draj is mobbed.  

do the rumors place the "evil goop" in any particular place?

They generally point to an area of twisted stone and blowing sands long belived
to be enchanted.  Legend also tells of a lost castle, frozen in time.

Well then mates we go you 'n' smash them evil things and chunks of twisted
stpme er... stone! Evil thing get on my nerves (if you haven't noticed
allready) <Ragnar shouts FIREMANE and rushes the nearest human>

yup.....

I'll make a new character ASAP and play.

Well what ye be waiting for mates? We've got annoy'n to smash!
<Rangnar WAPs the rest of the party with a rather LARGE malet>

Arrrrrrrrr, be there no one out there to help on the quest of quests?

Arrr

As soon as jamie comes on, you two can begin looking for rumors, running
throught the desert insanely, or anything else you desire.... Jamie?

It is I-Gilgamar the elvish ranger.  Let's go find somthing to kill, shall we?
<Gilgamar bops Ragnar back with the flat of his gythka>

back from vacation.

Well, then, what will it be?  Look for rumors?  Go search for the castle? 
WHat??

I want to casually blend in with the local scene and see what I can pick up.
(note: this should take an intelligence and charisma check)

well, shaymu, make them rolls, and I'll tell you what you find.

intelligence, 14
charisma, 9

Well, you heard some rumors, all right, but you can't make head or tail of 'em.
All asked seem to agree that something vewwy vewwy evil is lurking out in teh
desert, but nobody can think of where they heard it, responding with an
enigmatic, "I dunno.  That's just what everyone says..."  They all seem to pain
err.. point  to the desert just north of Draj, and an evil wizard figures
highly in all of them.

You can't seem to get anything else out of people...

Lets check out the castle! who's with me?

ORin?

YEZ?

well lets go check out (or head twords the castle, Who's with me?

}.

I'll come...

I'll follow, with my eyes peeled for any seedy looking fellows.

So, we go to the castle

Very well then.  You set forth into the desert, following the direction
that the rumors seem to point in.  The desert is hot, dry, and windy as ever,
and you are glad to find, on your fourth day of travel, some companionship--
you can see what appears to be a large caravan camped in the distance...

Lets approach cautiously, might be another slave camp!

Right.  Kain is walking towards the camp.  WHat is everyone else doing?

I will use my psychic power conceal thoughts.

Carfully mind you, IS ANYONE ELSE HERE?

Alright, you begin to walk towards teh camp.  Out of one of teh tnts
walks a man dressed in an aba, witha  turban on his head.

<kain waits>

he says something to you in a strange dialect of common... something like
"greetings"
or something....

We greet him and ask where we are?

well? I entered that over a week ago where the heck is everyone?
