A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...

Fortress of Eston

The race to safety after retreating had been fraught with danger and exhausting, to say the least. The forces of Thrane and Berland had swift scouts, ambushing their foes whenever possible. Casualties were few, but injuries were high, and with each one their quarry slowed. It was too little, too late though; the Audair and Cyre soldiers had finally made it to the sanctuary of Eston.

You pass through the giant steel gates of Eston, all around you there are panting and sweating soldiers of all races and dress. Average citizens are either staring from beside the buildings or attempting to help the tired soldiers. Gnomes hustle about with wands drawn and wearing bloody robes, tending to the most grievous of wounds. One runs up to your recently met companion, Thallia, still by your side. She appears a little worse for wear, having lost her helmet during the Thrane cavalry charge; her hair is hanging loose but is matted with debris and blood. Her armor has numerous dents and a few of the plates are cracked. Still she waves him on, saying,

The gnome gives a nod and then shuffles over to you, but hesitates before trying to examine you.

Giving a grin, Kargos waves the gnome on. "Save your resources for the others. My spells and my shield kept me safe enough, what you see is nothing more than flesh-wounds. Most of them probably won't even scar," he finishes with a short bark of laughter as he flakes dried blood from his arms.

"Where are we garrisoned? I've never been to Eston before," Kargos asks, hoping Thallia knows the answer. He keeps his eyes roving, still in the habit of watching for foes sneaking about to ambush.

[spoiler]So, between myth-weavers being down, and my phone being dead, my ability to both update the rest of my character sheet, and post on a regular basis will be hindered for a bit. I can't post from work, at this point, so any posts I make will probably be in the evening hours mostly.

"Nor have I. My only other time in Cyre was as an escort to Metrol on the lightning rail." Her voice is full of exhaustion, the strength born of fear slowly ebbing from her. Noticing Kargos's attentive state she tries to reassure him, "There should be no need for that, we are in an allied settlement."

Taking a breath to calm himself slightly, Kargos finally manages to stop looking quite so paranoid. He does, however, take a moment to look around for others he recognizes, hoping to see someone who might have the right amount of rank and authority to provide directions to the two weary soldiers.

You notice, what appears to be, a captain talking to a volunteer soldier, by the looks of his equipment and those behind him.

Kargos makes a beeline for the officer, snapping to attention and waiting for the Captain to acknowledge him before speaking.

While you are making your way there the captain makes a gesture towards the middle of Eston. The soldier gives a salute and says something before heading to the group behind him. The captain then returns to directing the arriving wounded, that is until he hears you. The captain lets out a sigh and then starts turning, "Yes, what can I help you with?"

"Sir, our unit was scattered during the retreat, where are the Aundairan forces garrisoned?" Kargos looks around at the relative chaos, and adds "Although, I would be more than willing to lend a hand where immediately needed. What wounds I sustained passed my magic have healed already."

He gives you a once before replying, "I would welcome the help, but I wonder what type of magical aid you can give. You don't look like a cleric of any faith that I recognize, and you are clearly not a halfling."

"I fear you misunderstood, Sir. My magic protected me, and I'm fairly hardy in the heat of the moment. What blows got passed my magic I was able to shrug off. Aside from my physical strength, I'm a fair hand at stonework, Sir. I received great praise after my apprenticeship had been completed before joining the army for it, Sir."

A slight frown takes to the captain's face. "Our supply of craftsmen is probably fine, the town being run by House Cannith. As to your question, they are setting something up in our wood." He points further into the city and then makes a gesture as if making a right turn.

Kargos snaps a salute befofe turning to head in the direction the officer pointed, waving to Thalia as he goes.

As Kargos is leaving, Thalia is just making it there. With the wave and departure she grabs her legs breathing heavily. The officer gives her a quick look and she makes a weak salute before following after the hearty dwarf.

After a short jog, Kargos gets sight of a stand of trees. There are robed elves scattered around the edge. They have a faintly green glow and are chanting. The effects are subtle but visible; they appear to be encouraging growth. Even has he watches a section becomes walled off with foliage.

There is a small grouping of tents just inside the edge of the trees. Creatures of the woods, among others, are milling about. About this time Thalia manages to catch up. Nearly collapsing in fatigue she is able to wheeze out a quick question,
"You think I'm talking about breaking the rules?"
"No I'm just trying to figure out how far you want them bent."

"Sorry, Thalia, I forget not everyone has a Dwarf's hearty constitution."

Kargos steps to the side of the road for a couple minutes to let Thalia catch her breath without blocking traffic. "Looks like that's our target, let's take a moment to rest in case they send us elsewhere immediately," he says as he fiddles with straps on his gear, and scroll cases.

She leans heavily against a nearby wall, catching her breath. As the minutes pass the elves continue their work. What seemed like simply growth is revealed to be a layering, each elf stimulating different types of vegetation. The last of the elves appears in tune with the trees, as he causes a layer of branches to form on the outside. It then moves onto the next section.

Seeing Thalia has caught her breath, Kargos begins walking towards the enclosure. "So, what exactly are they doing?" he addresses to his elf companion.
