Dungeons & Dragons - http://www.mines.edu/students/a/abertoll/dnd.html
ouch....okay...so jeff ain't hangin with the dilvish crew?
Well I think he'll be back... the guy who you questions (cloaked guy) Darthan, appears in the room with a book. "I found this about the shadow elves. They almost killed me while I was leaving the library. Venessa told me to come here and show you."
what's the book?
A book about ancient elf civilizations
ah.....does it say anything interesting?
Well, it's a bit hard for you to read because it's so old, but since you're the only one who knows elf...
heheh it falls to me to read it :)
Well, it has pictures of different elves from different areas.
any of them of importance? anything about the dark elves?
There seem to be two different kinds of dark elves...
ah?
Well the ones that resemble the shadow elves have a name that means more "hidden" or "shadowed" hence the name. They went into hiding, and are closer relatives of the forest elves. There is another elf pronounced by you as "drow" and that means dark literally. They have almost black skin, and they live (or lived) underground also.
and we are fighting the shadow?
Yes, you assume that most of the elves in here are all but extinct
what does it say about the shadows? and does it mention anything about lost cities?
Yes, it says they have a great underground city, and it talks about how the ice elves had fought them when they found an entrance to the city in their vicinity.
what does it say about the ice elves?
The ice elves live to the north (doh!), actually in a familiar area... around the Ice Castle.
maybe we should talk to them.....or are they extinct?
No one knows. You've never heard of ice elves before.
hmmmm....maybe we should.....try and find these elves...maybe we should try and find the COG....hmmm....what to do...what to do....if the ice elves have fought the shadow elves before....maybe they would help us now..... ....
it's all ancient history
hehe i know it's ancient history...but until recently..we never heard of the shadow elves OR the COG for that matter...
It's all up to you.
what do leanna and prudence think? what does gandalf think? what does the map show? the portion that we do have.......and who all is traveling with us when we go?
Everyone thinks it is up to you.
hehe but who all is going?
Everyone will go with you.
who's everyone?
Any party members that happen to be there.
heheh figures..your not being helpful...where does the map we have indicate that the COG is located?
okay..well i wann heal fully..and then head out as soon as possible....do we have access to horses?
Probably not.
alright...well.......where does the map indicate the COG is? what region?
It doesn't really have a map to the City of Gold, but does talk about the ice elves and how they lived in the city of gold.
that settles it...we go north....but i thought Gandalf had some info on the COG???? didn't he say something about it?
He said he's got two pieces to a map that shows it's exact location.
there's no defining landmarks?
on what?
the two pieces of the map...maybe mountains...plains...anything at all that might give us a clue where up north it might be.
North of Glantri... near the village of... something, it's on another piece.
that means going through the bad lands...okay..well lets go......
The Underground City they're talking about seems to belong the the shadow elves. The City of Gold belongs to the ice elves.
HUH?? okay...now i'm confused...the city on the two pieces of map...is that a map to the COG?
it is so believed
okay....and the city in the book...the book says the ice elves once lived in the COG...right?
yes
okay...and the map says its north of glantri...right?
You have a good chance of finding it between the two.
okay...let's start off....who's traveling with me? prudence? leanna? gandalf? tantala?
Hmmm, there might be more people with them... I'll have to check.
k..that's cool...but I'm ready to go. we've talked long enough...has vanessa come back with ronald's help?
