They claim to be after a Talisman of Dorukan, and the two groups team up to achieve both their goals. After more fighting, they encounter another adventuring party, the Linear Guild. Proceeding onward, they pass through a secret door and encounter a mind flayer, who is dragged off by a pair of lawyers for being a copyright violation. Meanwhile, Xykon is disgusted by his minions, but refuses to use his trump card, the Monster in the Darkness (MITD).Įventually, they find a treasure room, but Haley has already claimed almost all of it, and tricks Roy into thinking there was none. Roy thinks this is what his father meant, but his father later sends another vision telling him otherwise. Proceeding through the dungeon, they fight more of Xykon's minions, including a named chimera (who is killed by Belkar). During a rest break, Roy receives a vision from his dead father, who gives him the warning 'when the goat turns red strikes true'. Eventually, they reveal that they are in the Dungeon of Dorukan, here to thwart the schemes of the lich Xykon. Roy discards the belt, but Elan goes back to retrieve it. Their members include Roy Greenhilt (dark-skinned and sarcastic human fighter), Haley Starshine (greedy human rogue), Elan (ditzy human bard), Vaarsuvius (arrogant elf wizard), Durkon Thundershield (stalwart dwarf cleric), and Belkar Bitterleaf (evil halfling ranger).Īfter briefly splitting the group and fighting off some enemies, Vaarsuvius finds a magic belt of Gender Changing.

We join the Order of the Stick, a band of adventurers fighting through a dungeon.
