Alzar orders his crew to attack and uses his Ring of Quick Action to ensure that he’ll win the first round himself. Rolls for initiative 9 vs 8, he would have lost. Alzar casts Time Stop. He was taken unaware, so he heads in, gets the melee range and casts Maze (won’t resolve until the spell ends). Does he get a second round? Yes. He casts Continual Light at its eyes. Does he get a 3rd round? Nope. Spells resolve, check MR first and….the Maze hits the MR and the Light does not, does it make its save? It rolls an 6 and does not and is blinded and the light illuminates the area.

6 vs 7. Alzar carves into the suddenly easier to hit dragon for 41 damage, and the golem hits for 10 and the others miss. The Dragon screeches and speaks in a halting version of Pandius Prime to leave him be. He’ll give Alzar one-third of the treasure, or some magical items to just leave. Alzar refuses, and it shadow walks away and flees.

Alzar gathers up everything:

755 pp
2495 gp
19 gems worth 6850 gp
12 pieces of jewelry worth 3200 gp
Pair of Heavy Crystal Statues of Elves (1500 gp pair)
Mother-of-pearl and mahogany box (500 gp)
Platinum Chain with Emerald (900 gp)
Dragon Tooth Necklace (1500 gp)

Blade of the Corusk
+1 quarterstaff
+1 footman’s mace
Gloves of Missile Snaring
Libram of…
3 Incense of Meditation
Hat of Disguise
8 potions of Polymorph Self


A lot of items. When Alzar grabs the sword, suddenly he gets a vision of a large orc city with at least 5000 orcs and other humanoids. The leader of the city is great black orc who has seen many a battle and campaign. The vision ends.

We’ll check out the book later…

Alzar’s conjured creatures are sent back, and he teleports back to Barkal again.

This time Alzar has found Dreamsinger:

+2 Broadsword- it gets better in the hands of a bard. The leaders of the old Lynx Tribe put a lot of store into legends, song, and the tales of their people.
