Dragons Watch, Felucca, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – January 19, 2013 – by Ashlynn – Yesterday I recieved the the final menu for the upcoming grand dinner held later this evening which will be published following this article. I hope all of you out there are feeling… adventurous. It is an interesting menu to say the least.
Our hosts yesterday were Dragons Watch and they had a couple of fun and exciting (and somewhat dangerous) events for us to participate in.
SURVIVOR: Dungeon
The task is simple. Enter Delucia Passage dungeon from the Delucia end, make your way to the City of the Dead. First one there receives 1000 points. The second 900, and so on. Oh but you’re not allowed to take any items besides what is in the starting chest (which was clothes and lanterns). And you’re not allowed to sneak. And you have to collect treasures from chests hidden inside along the way or you take a penalty to your score.
Ouch! It was indeed a dangerous journey. Not being able to sneak around made it difficult for me, as did the lack of reagents. Fortunately the powers of spellweaving have no such need to spell components and the powers of Gift of Life and Ethereal Voyage were very useful! But I still didn’t win – I just didn’t suffer the injuries others did.
The final results were:
- Ashlynn (1st back) – 1000 points
- Nubby (2nd back) – 900 points
- Hudson (3rd back) – 0 points
- Axe (4th back) – 1500 points
- James (5th back) – 200 points
- Yoshi (6th back) – 1300 points
Snakes and Serpents
One of the more creative games and one that made its debut last year, it has returned to both entertain and frustrate!
The rules are simple: The upper floor of the Lost Dragon Tavern is essentially one giant game board and the patrons are the pieces. Everyone takes a turn where Phoenix rolls and a dice and the person whose turn it is moves forward that many squares. Some squares contain teleporters which can take you further forward, or backwards, or TO THE STABLES (at which point you start again).
Three rounds were played. I know Nubby managed to steal victory from Niva during one game, and I think Lady Winmere won another. I am not sure who won the third!
Still it was a great game and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Once the game was finished, everyone proceeded to Guardians Gate for a really really long auction. They had a lot of items!
