Sorry, I didn't realize that Norjax was waiting out this turn. I guess that leaves me with a total of one choice then. :D

Seeing Samson pass his position, SnakeEyes mentally commands him back one space and prepares for a duel of Warlocks.

Dueling [2d6]=9 I think we would both be +1 on these rolls.

The bone knuckles tell of Turn 15 rolls:

DadsAngry #1 - 6, 8 in duel vs SnakeEyes, lost, -1 space. Red Warlock Samson
Rex #2 - 8, 6 Ancient Ruins lose a turn. Green Warrior Rex
Norjax #3 - lost turn in Ancient Ruins. Ancient Ruins roll lose 1 turn. White Warrior Throll
Grog #4 - 8, 7 vs dragon, win, +2 spaces NW. Blue Warrior Kothar
Mant #5 - 11 vs dragon, Badly injured lose 2 turns. Yellow Warrior Boris the Brave
OgreMage #6 - 7, 9 vs SnakeEyes, wins, +1 space. Black Warlock SnakeEyes

While navigating the Ancient Ruins, a poltergeist topples a stone onto Rex! The warrior loses a turn freeing himself. Elsewhere in the Ruins, Throll finds a well, sates his debilitating thirst, and continues his explorations.

Boris and Princess Penelope come upon the feared dragon. It mauls the warrior and burns the clothes off fair Penelope. Oh my! Kothar creeps into the cave and with barbaric fury falls upon the beast with savage steel. The dragon retreats and Kothar leaves. (Duels can’t take place in square spaces :cry: )

The revengeful warlock SnakeEyes conjures Samson to his presence and the dweomer meisters duel! SnakeEyes is victorious, advancing as Samson retreats.

The dragon strikes!

Note, Kothar is 2 spaces up the northwest trail but the dragon momentarily prevents placement. Also, from the duel I moved SnakeEyes forward one and Samson back one since it wasn’t specified. OM you can alter that if you prefer.

Turn 16

The warriors and warlocks hear the roar of the dragon echo through the forest. Journey forth for 2d6! Throll can roll again on the Ancient Ruins chart. Rex loses Turn 16, and Boris loses Turn 16 and 17.

WW T16 Kothar [2d6]=6 Kothar travels north out of woods into the mysterious mountains. Here he will set his trap to rescue the princess.

Samson:

W&W Turn 16 - [2d6]=10
Samons enters the Dragon's Lair.
Dragon's Lair - [2d6]=12
"Oh how nice. A visitor center with a map of the lair. I bet most people just pass this by."
After Samson's guided tour of the Dragon's Lair, he exits to the east and heads north towards the dismal swamp.

Samson finds the dragon asleep (recovering from Kothar’s beating) and quickly continues northeast (landing on a star space, +2 spaces.) Rex and Throll remain in the Ancient Ruins, while Boris recovers from injuries. Kothar and SnakeEye push forward.

The lands at end of Turn 16:

Samson:

W&W Turn 17 - [2d6]=7
Heads down the west path and then head north landing on a star space.
Samson looks into his crystal ball and sees that Kothar is lying in wait, setting up an ambush.
Using his arcane magics and places a spell on Kothar to make him sleepy.
Kothar moves two spaces to the north to "Go to the camp".
My character, red marker, is in the wrong position. It should be where the black figure is.

Black pawn should be one spot past the arrow, two spots outside the Dragons Lair.

SnakeEyes finally finds the entrance to the great wyrms lair.

WW17 [2d6]=7

Dragons Lair Exploration [2d6]=8 :shock:

Finding the thing snoring away, he slips out through the northernmost exit, heading up to find the Demon Maze next.

The oracle proclaims Turn 17 rolls:

DadsAngry #1 - 7, spell on K. Red Warlock Samson
Rex #2 - 7 leaves Ancient Ruins by 3 spaces. Green Warrior Rex
Norjax #3 - Lost turn 17 in Ancient Ruins. White Warrior Throll
Grog #4 - 11, from ‘Go to Camp’ space. At camp, lose turn 18. Blue Warrior Kothar
Mant #5 - Lost Turn 17 in dragon’s lair. Yellow Warrior Boris the Brave
OgreMage #6 - 7, 8 in dragon’s lair, leave by 3. Black Warlock SnakeEyes

What sorcery is about? For a moment the two warlocks feel they have changed bodies, seeing a landscape that should not be. But Fate rights itself and SnakeEyes smells the sulfuric stench of what must be the dragon’s lair ahead. He finds the reptilian horror asleep and quickly leaves the lair by the north.

Samson weaves north and scries Kothar. He lays a geas upon the sleepy warrior to seek the mountain camp off the trail. Kothar arrives and rests for a time (lose turn 18).

Boris recovers from his wounds. Rex exits the Ancient Ruins two spaces west (if you’d like northwest instead let me know.). Throll drinks water till his belly is full and seeks exit from the Ancient Ruins.

The map at end of Turn 17:

Turn 18

The quest continues with 2d6. Boris rolls on the dragon chart, Throll the Ancient Ruins, others movement, Kothar none.

Nice pic and gif Norjax and Mant!
