Death in the Treklant

Post by Troll Lord »

In Davis' treklant series of adventures I lost three characters in short order. The third character, a frontiersmen from Felsentheim, found himself standing alone in the village with his new wife. Goblins had breached the walls and were swarming throughout the compound and around me. Utterly cut off (the rest of the party was already making good their escape, leaving me to my fate no doubt) I pulled my wife to me and while I kissed her I ran her through. She died in my arms as I turned on the goblins who overwhelmed me and killed my young buck without mercy!

Thus is life in Inzae . . .

So how long ago did your Druid die?
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Nice touch with the kiss-assisted mercy killing.
What you didn't realize was that your sword thrust missed all her vital organs and she was still alive after your death and while the goblins came swarming in over the walls. They had great fun with your woman and used her bones to invent the new goblin sport, "Clakkity", in which players use two femurs to juggle a skull. It was an instant hit with the snotlings.

Now that my friends, is life in Inzae. =)

I should......not speak.......ever.

Yeah, I think you have to "deep" of a connection to Inzae.

Wow, I'm shocked disturbed, horrified, yet also amused and intrigued. Do you think they could show clakkity on ESPN2? I mean they show pool and dog jumping Clakkity would be much more enjoyable. I think.

Kudos on the "clakkity", Inkpot. So how do you score this game? Each time you drop the skull, the other goblin players get to clobber you with the femur (kinda like beaning/stitching someone in hacky sack when they touch it with their hand)?

Hey, we could actually make RPG rules for this game.

1. Roll a d20 and add your dex bonus (and level if your class is a Necrogamer).

2. If the result is better than the target number of 15 then you successfully hit the skull and kept it in the air. Now the next player must hit it (as they stand in a circle).

3. If the skull hits the ground then the goblin who dropped it gets pounded by 1d6 femurs (or other salvaged bones).

4. If the skull makes it all the way around the circle, you go kill another one of Steve's characters and get some more skulls and bones.

You say crack in such a negative sense of the term. I prefer "sleep alternative" to crack. Or to quote Hunter S. Thompson (man I love his stuff):

Yes Steve it's a shame that your characters did not have the skill or moxy of the great cleric Braelin!! I was able to make it all the way through. I am going to pay for this seriously one day though. Remember that I swore an oath that I would pay back the ill favor of the orcs and the warg. That is the kind of thing that Davis never forgets!!!!

Let's see...at the con, I'm running an event called "Goblin Valley" where all six pregens are goblins. Now, if anyone from the forum shows up, odds are Clakkity might end up seeing some actual game time. Steve, we might need to borrow your character's bones and skull for a bit so hold off on that resurrection.

Sounds like a rough place, I like it.

You have no idea what Clakkity did to this community.

I read the thread linked above.... did not seem like a big concern to me.

Perhaps there are other threads as well?

From what I read that game should be published...

Hard to get reall skulls and femurs legally though, unless you are an Archeologist perhaps.

You had to be there to really get the joke. As Rhu mentioned it did get a bit out of hand.

BTW I tried playing using cow bones from around the place, it is harder than it sounds.
