The Trouble with Trillochs
Trade Wars Era
This story took place after the Trade Wars era had started. The Player Characters had sent their henchmen and followers off to explore the mystery told in the story arc Orcs with Pointy Ears where that group found a new villain who called herself Mercedes. As they continued to track her down during the Magic of Music story life back home continued on its own path.
While the main group of adventurers was doing background investigation along with the normal research and training a problem popped up on the western edge of the Protectorate of ElvenStier.

Feed Back & Recollections
This was a small side trek adventure for the higher level characters that took place concurrently with the Orcs with Pointy Ears story arc and the beginning of the Magic of Music story arc.
I've got some feed back for ya: BOB doors suck. I mean, who seriously puts weighted and balanced self closing doors in their house? We can't go anywhere without the doors closing behind us! This isn't some super secret secure prison treasure dungeon of doom, it's just some stupid necromancer's house in a cave. How does he get from the kitchen to the dining room with his food if all the doors close behind him? How does any of this make sense? Not to mention where does everyone get these doors? ***SALE!!! All Dwarven made weighted and balanced doors must go! The old models must leave the lot to make way for next year's models! 50%-75% off! Hurry, limited time only!*** ::grumbles:: -mikE
John and Kaz did a great job of roleplaying the ending of the Necromancer's lair part of this story arc. Once again a great plan going in with one small bit forgotten. They turned it into a great ending with roleplaying that had the others applauding at the end.
John's input: Please do not forget about Fritz, amazing things happen when he is around. Even with his character out of the fight, Fritz and his character are always ready to push things to the next level. Fritz pushed us to play on, Rave pushed Paul into working on a plan and it worked, for the most part.
Kaz's two cents: There would have been no resolution without Fritz and John. I still have no clue what the hell they were talking about, but it worked! :-D You guys amaze me constantly with how much you know - not just John and Fritz, but all of you... Lorie, Hans, Mike, Christy - you've all forgotten more about how the game works than I'll ever actually understand.
