Game 8: Crash Landing on Dinosaur Island

At the beginning of this game, the three heros were on a boat heading to dinosaur island, but because Ninja Dog had taken the skull from the bottom of the ocean, they had to deal with a haunted ship before they could get to their destination.

Willow Elf connected to collective memory to learn that the ghosts haunting the ship were looking for the skull and that they came from an ancient civilization. Willow Elf also moved out onto the deck to see if the ghosts would attack her.

Ninja Dog put the skull down next to the ghosts and said, "I'm giving this back." They didn't understand, and just stared at the skull. Ninja Dog was scared by their lack of reaction, so he shot an arrow at a ghost, but the arrow passed right through the ghost like it was made of water.

Then, all of the ghosts headed toward the skull, and one passed through Willow Elf. As it passed through, Willow Elf couldn't breathe and she felt like she was in water, but it passed through quickly, so she was OK.

The ghost that Ninja Dog shot sank through the floor and then rose right behind Ninja Dog and passed through him. While the ghost was passing through him, Ninja Dog's vision went black, and he couldn't breathe, but somehow, when the ghost passed through him, Ninja Dog suddenly understood that the 4 ghosts weren't ghosts. Instead, they were four fingers of a huge water spirit that was cupping the boat in it's hand. After passing through Ninja Dog, the finger went through the skull and wore it like a ring. Then the hand rose up through the ship, passing through the three heros on it's way, and injuring Ninja Dog and Ghost Knight.

The water spirt hovered over the boat, and while it was there, Ghost Knight detected magic and found that the spirt was magic but that it had no desire to hurt them. With his knowledge that the spirit meant them no harm, Ghost Knight took the wheel of the ship and steered away from the spirit. Once the ship had passed beneath the spirit, it crashed back into the ocean, creating a huge wave that propelled the boat very quickly toward Dinosaur Island.

Sadly, the wave made it so the ship was going far too fast, and the shore of Dinosaur Island was extremely rocky. Willow Elf tried to make seaweed grow fast to slow the boat down, but it didn't work. Then Ninja Dog, realizing that a crash was inevitable, jumped above the ship and glided to safety on the shore. Ghost Knight couldn't get off the boat, but he made himself intangible just before BOOM! The ship crashed into Dinosaur Island.

As Ninja Dog and Ghost Knight surveyed the scene, they realized that their boat was destroyed and Willow Elf was badly injured. As if that weren't enough, it was raining, a thunder storm was raging, and night was quickly approaching.

Ninja Dog carried Willow Elf along a path to the shore while Ghost Knight used his abilities to find out if there were dangerous monsters nearby - he found that the island was covered with monsters, but none of them were close. Ghost Knight used a healing spell to heal Willow Elf. Then all three of the heros followed a path off the beach toward a cave. When they got inside the cave and their eyes adjusted to the dark, they realized that the cave was full of giant bats whose eyes glowed eerily as they gazed blindly past the heros.

Game 7: The Dinosaur Story Begins

After the heros conquered Galeron, they stayed in the village to relax and recover. While there, they heard about explorers who had sailed away to explore Dinosaur Island and never returned. After some discussion, the heroes decided to go and rescue them. However, before they left, they spent some time interviewing villagers to learn as much as they could about the island.

While talking with people in a pub, Ghost Knight got in a fight with a villager, and when the villager threw Ghost Knight across the pub, a secret panel opened up behind the wall, revealing a treasure chest containing old money and a very old map of the land.

On the map, Dinosaur Island was called "Dragon Island," but it was enough to guide the heroes to it, so they set off on a boat. While sailing, Willow Elf and Ninja Dog decided to go for a swim, and while they were in the water, Ninja Dog saw something glowing on the ocean floor. He swam to it and found that it was a crystal skull that was surrounded by fish that seemed to be getting energy from it.

Ninja Dog couldn't resist the skull. He swam toward it, and as he swam, the fish began to attack him. Despite the fish, he picked the skull up, and immediately, all of the fish swam way, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the ocean grew rough.

Ninja Dog and Willow Elf swam back to the ship, and went below deck to escape the storm. The waves pushed the boat into a haunted pass south of Fire Island, and soon the heros heard ghosts wailing up on the deck. Willow Elf peeked up, and saw that there were 4 ghosts flitting back and forth across the boat.

Game 6: The Lair of the Wizard

After deciding who would keep the magic sword, the three heros headed for the last room of the cave. There, they found Galeron in the middle of casting a spell. He looked like a red, hooded cobra because of his overuse of magic, and he wore a crown of gold on his head that appeared to drip down his forehead. Galeron had turned two people into frogs, and they were sadly hopping around the room. In addition to the frogs, the heros were horrified to see that the floor of the cave was covered with snakes (the heros were glad that they had researched Galeron and the village and learned that he surrounded himself with snakes, which gave them time to prepare by coating their weapons with snake repellant).  Without turning, Galeron said, "You'll never stop me. I'll turn you all into frogs."

Ghost Knight used his ability to detect magic and found that Galeron was the strongest source of power he'd ever felt. He sense that Galeron had a range of 5 spaces and that he had the ability to confuse. Also, he discovered that he takes 4 hits to defeat. In addition, Ghost Knight found that there were no magical properties to the snakes, but they were poisonous.

Willow Elf is immune to poisons, so she bravely stepped into the cave to confront Galeron. She stepped right between two snakes and swung her knife, leaving the snakes angry and injured but still poised to strike.

The snakes attacked Willow Elf. One sunk its teeth into her leg and shot out venom, but Willow Elf was only stunned - the venom had no effect but the bite hurt. Other snakes lashed out at Willow Elf, but she moved just in time.

Ninja Dog shot four plasma arrows at Galeron, but Galeron had a protection spell, which deflected the last arrow, saving him from mortal injury. The three arrows that hit didn't damage vital organs, but Galeron was wounded.

Willow Elf healed herself and then swung her knife again, lopping off the heads of the snakes closest to her. The heads flew to the far side of the cave, where they started to wriggle.

Ghost Knight reached out for magic and found that the four snake parts were growing and would soon be full-grown snakes. The snake cells were mixed with lizard cells that allowed them to regenerate.

Galeron healed himself, so that he was only stunned. Then he put up a stronger protection spell around himself.

Ninja Dog communicated with a snake, and the snake said it was created by Galeron using the strongest poison in nature and that it would bite anything within one space of it.

Ninja Dog moved into the cave. He used his sword to try to hit a snake close to the fires that lit the cave, but the snake slithered aside.

Galeron healed himself completely, and surveying the scene saw that 4 new snakes had grown and were slithering toward the heros. He said, "You fools! You are nothing to me. You are but insects to a god!"

A snake attacked Ghost Knight, but his bite glanced off Ghost Knight's armour.

Ninja Dog shot 3 plasma arrows at Galeron. Two arrows buzzed through his protective spell and connected with his shoulders. Ninja Dog shot again, and hit Galeron once more.

Willow Elf moved up close to Galeron and despite her fear of the fires at either side of where he was standing, she defeated him using her small leaf blade with a cut to his thigh. As soon as she cut him, black goo oozed out and spread across the cave. The goo turned the sad looking frogs into people, and then it continued to spread, pushing all of the snakes to the outer wall of the cave. Finally, the goo spread out of the cave and across the forrest to the village. The heros followed the goo out of the cave and into the village where they found that all of the villagers hand been returned to their human forms.

The villagers declared the 3 heros protectors of the village and named them "The Heros of Springhill."
