"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"

Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump."

You have now entered the realm of the LORD OF THE GREEN DRAGONS -- a "Classic Gaming" blog.
Now if I could only recall that very funny dwarven song-poem (ala the "Hobbit") that TRAMP used in Wormy while the "rock-eaters" were camped outside his cave wanting their bowling balls returned to them..
Ask, oh Lord of the green Dragons, and you shall receive...
"WHAT DRAGON HATH NO LUST FOR GOLD WOULD SWIPE INSTEAD THE BALLS WE BOWLED, OH WORM, TAKE HEED! THY WICKED DEED HATH FORCED OUR SUMMER LEAGUES TO FOLD!"
Cooould be something good?

ReplyDelete22 bowling balls = 250 GP
22 suits of dwarven chainmail = 1650 GP
