Game 5: Into the Cave

With all of the guards defeated, the Ghost Night, Ninja Dog, and Willow Elf cautiously entered the cave. Inside, they found four of Galeron's guards: two orks, that looked like pigs walking on their hind legs, carrying swords and two more lizard men. They also noticed a large metal chest at the far end of the cave behind a crushed, headless skeleton. When these guards sensed that there was someone entering the cave, one of them said, "you'll never stop Galeron from turning all of the residents of your town into frogs!"

Ninja Dog considered these to be fighting words, and he immediately attacked one of the lizard guys and hit him twice with arrows. Ghost Night used his ability to detect magic and found that there was powerful magic hidden in the cave, but that it wasn't there to hurt the three characters. Then Ghost Night moved into the cave. Assuming that Ghost Night was alone and that he was the source of Ninja Dog's arrows, one of the guards attacked Ghost Night. Then Ninja Dog shot the lizard he'd already hit with another arrow and knocked him out, and he tried to shoot another guard but missed.

Ghost Night became intangible and then attacked an ork with magic, but he only rolled a 3, and because he was injured, his roll was minus 1, and the ork rolled a 1, so he only managed to stun him.

The one remaining lizard guard realized that there were more fighters outside the cave entrance, and fired an arrow in that direction, hitting Ninja Dog. The ork attacked Ghost Night with his sword, but because he was intangible, it passed right through him.

Willow Elf sized up the situation and realized that her friends would not last long in their current condition, so she rolled a 12 and healed Ghost Knight. Then she moved into the cave.

Ninja Dog followed Willow Elf into the cave, and used a throwing star to attack an ork, but sadly Ninja Dog rolled a 7 and the ork rolled an 8, so Ninja Dog missed. Then he threw one at the lizard, and he stunned him with a high roll (11 vs. 3). Inspired by Ninja Dog's success, Ghost Night became tangible again and attacked the ork with his sword. His first attack failed (11 vs. 11), but his second attack met its mark (9 vs. 6).

After Ghost Night's attack, the lizard and the remaining orks brutally attacked Ghost Night, Ninja Dog, and Willow Elf. They inflicted some damage, but not enough to win the battle. Finally hitting their stride, Willow Elf knocked out the lizard guy and an ork, and Ghost Knight knocked out the other ork.

After the guards had been defeated, Ghost Knight went to the magic chest and opened it with his super strength. Inside, he found 3 vials of medicine and 1 magical sword. Although Willow Elf tried to suggest that the sword should go to the character who would benefit from it the most, Ghost Knight insisted that the three characters roll for it. Ninja Dog rolled a 7, Willow Elf rolled a 3, and Ghost Knight rolled an 11, so the sword went to Ghost Knight. Sadly, however, Ghost Knight's insistence on dueling for the sword left Ninja Dog and Willow Elf angry and uncertain of their new friendship.
