Story
29 Jan
The four enemies stand before the Overlord, proclaiming his end. He does not waver as he predicts they will fall.
I move into a good position for attack (+2 bonus to attack rolls on the next page)
I set up traps to sabotage the battlefield (+2 to DMG on the next day)
I try to create a diversion, but the heroes are focused on their task. (-1 penalty to defense on next day)
30 Jan
I try and harry the heroes as they attack the overlord.
Round 1: Cleric
I attack the cleric and hit him very hard.
Round 2: Cleric again
Once again, I am able to score a hit. I avoid getting hit again.
Round 3: Wizard
I hit the wizard and again avoid getting hit.
The heroes stop paying attention to me and turn to the Overlord.
31 Jan / 1 Feb
The battle is not going way. I decided to Assist the Overlord.
I try to weaken my foes from afar. I’m able to disrupt their coordination (+1 notoriety)
2 Feb
It appears the heroes have slain the Overlord? Can it be true? I decided to try and seize the residual power of the Overlord.
I gain the Overlord’s power (+2 to ALL rolls on 3 Feb)
3 Feb
The heroes all turn to me!! Oh no!
I try first to use my superior intellect to trick the heroes into a trap. My quick thinking works!
I try after that to move straight through their onslaught and take the blows as I run. I power through, forcing my way out.
Hopefully just one trial stands between me and freedom!
I try to predict their tactics. They see through my feint and I take a hard blow (-1HP)
Finally I try and parkour through the battlefield. I escape into the castle ruins.
As I look back, I’ve escaped far enough that they no longer seem to pursue. I am safe for now.
4 Feb
I LEVEL UP!!
5 Feb
As the castle continues to be assaulted, bits of the ceiling are caving in. I run to grab what I can before it collapses.
Potion Room
Minutes elapsed: 1 Potions: Elixir of speed, Elixir of charm
Infirmary
Minutes elapsed: 0 I find Antidote and Hex Cleanse
Armory
Minutes elapsed: 2 I find a potion that fell under the weapons rack. Dragon’s Fire and Combat tonic.
In the hallway I find an injured goblin. I help him and gain another minion. (Minutes elapsed 3)
Pantry
Before leaving I head to the pantry to search for rations. I gain 7 meal rations.
6 Feb
The castle begins to crumble and I must make my way through an obstacle course. (With 3 mins elapsed, I gain +2 to rolls on this page)
First, I visualize a way forward so as not to waste time. I can’t make heads or tails of it. (-2 to rolls)
Second, I step around the dead goblin bodies that little the hallway.
I’m able to step over them quickly without tripping.
Third, I try and parry the ceiling tiles that are falling.
I’m able to avoid getting hit!
Finally I run!
Filled with adrenaline I make it through without getting hurt.
7 Feb / 8 Feb
The only way out is through a window.
I descend safely, but slowly (Minutes elapsed 8) (-4 HP from rubble falling on me)
9 Feb
Some goblins want to blow up the tower with the enemy inside. I help by first fighting some enemies nearby.
I destroy that fighter! (+1 GP) My power was wasted working under others!
I help the goblins find another powder keg and I find 4 more kegs.
Arrows fall upon me and I drop the keg. (-1 HP and -1 keg) This happens every time and I have to drink my health potion to stay alive.
10 Feb
I’m able to use a shield to block incoming arrows so the goblin can light the kegs.
As the goblins start to run from the kegs that are about to explode, we’re surrounded by enemies. I try and scare them away. Only a few are scared, but it’s enough for me to get away from the blast.
I run fast enough that the enemy cannot attack me as I run from the explosion that’s about to happen.
11 Feb
The kegs explode as debris flies everywhere.
I find an overturned wagon and dart behind it, covering myself.
The heat is intense as the explosion reaches me, but I am unscathed.
12 Feb
The tower begins to collapse. I go to help a trio of goblins who are frozen in panic.
Only one goblin listens to me and begins to flee.
I decide not to loot a corpse as I need to get as far away as possible.
An elf fighter tries to trip me as I run by. I’m able to keep him from hurting me as I run.
I then look for safety as everything becomes chaos. I find a solid stone spire and sprint to it. (+2 to next roll)
After things settle a bit I run for my life. I remain uninjured from the falling building.
