Their army finally rebuilt, Plukiduck sent Bartalt into southern end of the Unwanted Mountains to eliminate orcs which had been raiding Plukiduck communities. Orcs captured Bartalt and his party and held them prisoner in
anticipation of sale to Molokai.
They asked their guard why they had been taken prisoner rather than killed. He replied that his boss's boss had made it known that he was to inspect all booty for trade value. "He had to explain rather vigorously and for a long time, but we finally saw his point."
Bartalt and his group rescued by Andrea of Frenkenford and her band, who had been looking for the same band of orcs.
Bartalt and Andrea married later that year.
DRAMATIS PERSONAE:
Bartalt -- male human, born in Pluckiduck 878
Andrea -- female human, born in rural Flattheim 870
Bartalt's lieutenant, actually a Gagwytaspuner. She has lived in Pluckiduck since early childhood. Sometimes uses other parts of Derek for reconnaissance in order to show up Silbyl's scouting abilities.
Silbyl -- male human, Bartalt's lieutenant. Born near the southern fringe of the Unwanted Mountains, he is uncannily adept at fieldcraft and wields a mean staff. His self confidence at the beginning of this story is very low. Ulklala -- female drow, leader of the drow under Frenkenford. Grot -- a soldier in Andrea's group.
THEIR STORY:
Bartalt and Andrea plan joint Plukiduck/Flattheim invasion of Gagwytaspun. Plukiduck is still freaked out by the events of year 2700.
The plan is for Andrea to sail up to the last tributary of the Notushabi, then disembark on the southern shore.
Meanwhile, Bartalt is to march from Hotdamm to ford the Notushabi upriver from Gagwytaspun. The two groups would then converge on the city.
Bartalt's lieutenant, actually Gagwytaspun's agent, keeps her masters current. The free city establishes outposts down Notushabi River and starts moving agents into the sections of Frenkenford's undercity that they know of.
"Ah Frenkenford! What a vista of grand structures vainly
attempting to ignore each other!" Bartalt starts from Hotdamm.
Andrea's brooch stolen.
Battle of Bartalt's forces and those of Gagwytaspun east of Hotdamm.
Andrea leaves Frenkenford up the Notushabi River. Bartalt "finds" brooch as his enemies retreat south. He concludes that his opponents are endangering Andrea in some way.
Bartalt and his forces follow the Gagwytaspuners.
Andrea's fleet burned mysteriously -- few casualties.
Derek finds Veggies and Drow in Buhn and sets stakeouts which increase daily.
He sat there at his position looking downward as the tunnel around him became lit by the torch of the one with the food. He stood and she handed him the torch and sack and then sat down. He went forward. When he reached the next one, he handed over a bundle of food and continued on down the corridor to the point where he handed over the torch and the sack which contained a dozen more meals and a few other items for the forward posts. He sat down and watched the light recede before starting his meal.
Andrea continues, with half of her original ships and plus reserves equalling ten percent of the original number. Back in Frenkenford, Ulklala has become wary of the Gagwytaspun force and is going about beginning a hasty infiltration of the local thieves' guilds and carpenter shops.
Several of Andrea's ships stolen.
Another fire on Andrea's ships.
Grot, on guard duty that evening, gets a horrible itch in the center of his back. He inserts his sword under his armour to scratch it. The sword slips in his hand and nicks him in the small of the back before he catches it with his right hand. The arm is caught by his bow in a very awkward position and cannot lift the sword. The position the right arm is in pushes the armour to the left, so his left arm is forced to remain extended and about 20 degrees above the horizontal. The heavy sword still threatens to stab through his spine -- he remembers that a man in the village had had a wound like that -- probably received in some far more respectable manner -- and that guy had been paralysed from the waist down.
He can imagine his grandchildren asking "And how did you lose the use of your legs?" Come to think of it, there wouldn't be any grandchildren. Hey, this is serious!
Grot realises his military career would be over if he allowes the sword to slip downward, so he starts looking around for something that might look helpful. He faces the camp, his left arm flailing wildly as he turns. No way can he face the jeering if he goes and asks for help. He can't imagine a future leader of men being able to get ahead with a reputation for that sort of thing.
The aspiring future leader of men first sees them as he is trying to work out a way to either stand on his head or hang from a tree limb by his knees. Either maneuver would allow Grot to let go of the sword, which would fall to the ground and then he could pull his hand out through the bow. When he becomes a general, this sort of thinking will undoubtedly come in handy. The task at hand now is how to achieve an upside-down state. Of course he can't do a back flip in his armour (or in the buff, either -- if he could do that, he wouldn't need armour), and climbing doesn't appear to be a likely alternative, with his left hand in that ridiculous position. In fact, his hand has been pulled out of its glove -- which he doesn't mind so much a few seconds later when the Sea Peoples' arrow pins the glove to a tree, much to the amusement of the bowmen.
Happily, the alarm whistle doesn't require either hand. The first of the sea folk by him lets loose with a swing that means to behead him, but it hits his sword and he is knocked headlong. The blow also breaks his bow, so his right hand is free to draw his sword. But rather than thanking his benefactor, Grot jumps after him with deadly intent.
Derek battles the other undergrounders, using his coordinated surveillance techniques. Drow and Vergaantzers start fleeing onto the streets and cause panic throughout Frenkenford, which is precisely Derek's plan. Since few troops remain in the city, being with Andrea, pandemonium and fear rage in the city throughout the night. Andrea, Bartalt and members of each of their forces dream of this, via Derek's powers.
Andrea realizes that the Sea Peoples are behind her problems and tracks them overland.
Andrea's party ambushes Sea Peoples and drives the survivors off overland. She takes the ships downstream towards the confluence of the Notushabi and the Druidwash.
Before the attack on Fastness Island, Bartalt dreams he is following a grey moth through an empty shrine.
As the Gagwytaspuners build the customshouse, Ulklala and her band take advantage of the builders' need to appear like normal folks and work only one shift. The Drow build tunnels into the customshouse.
As the Sea Peoples' fleet approaches Frenkenford, Ulklala has catapults on the customshouse fire on their ships. The Sea Peoples attack any Gagwytaspuner they can lay their hands on.

Benkin is a human who was born 14 centuries ago. He started out as a monk, then became a cleric of DIANCHECHT. He started to go mad, and he thought up the notion of the flasks as a means of immortality.
This is a one pint silver hip flask. On one side are engraved pictures that indicate drinking the contents will replace body parts lost in combat or wherever. This it does, and more. The contents replace themselves within an hour of drinking. Drinking the banana flavored liquid cures all wounds and instantly replaces all lost body parts. The catch is, that the replacement parts probably won't match the rest of the person.
What the dweamor does is to replace missing tissue and blood with Benkin's (altered to suit blood type, etc.), so the more of a person that is replaced, the more Benkin is alive. Right now, even though there's a few hundred pieces of him around, he isn't conscious, due to lack of a brain. The only way for him to "wake up" again is if a person is beheaded immediately before or after drinking the elixer. Then Benkin will have consciousness again. In case of this, his stats are: (male human, lvl 8 Mo/lvl 12 Cl, S18/50 I16 W15 D15 C14 Ch9, al LN (modified by minor insanity)).
How long it takes to figure out what's going on depends on the imbiber. A gnome with a new limb will notice right away. Minor slashes will simply look like scars and will probably not cause comment, but a being with an entire arm of Benkin's will go through odd experiences every now and then. For example, in melee the hand may drop its club and slap for 2d12 damage, or it might (5% chance) turn some undead unexpectedly if the wearer isn't keeping it busy at the time.
Four of these flasks still exist.

After the water broke, the father shouted that the sky was turning green. Since this information did not appear strictly relevent at the time, the mother continued in her efforts.
..
By the hour of the delivery itself, nobody present could ignore the way gravity was swaying, a feeling similar to being on a ship. The mother's bleeding increased to a level truly astonishing. Along with the baby came three wooden daggers and a bow; obviously some magic was afoot, and it proved fatal to the poor woman.

As the statistics cannot help implying, this is one powerful hunk of killing power wrapped up in a Lawful Neutral package. Some name him an "AntiBerserker".
Imagine if the Space Marines in the Star Wars series were improbably wide dwarves.
Boggo has glossy white plastic permeated smartpolymer body armour.
As plastic, it nullifies all magic within six inches, which also has the effect of nullifying B's Amulet of Protection from Magic. (That's there in case his suit gets stolen.)
As smartpolymer, the suit is memory plastic with a vengeance. If it is dented, not only will it pop back into shape, but it will hum menacingly at any who dented it.
Certain verbal commands cause it to change color for two hours. Since it is a code designed against inadvertant invocation, observed color changes have randomly happened six times so far. Three of the times the suit turned a slightly duller white. Once it turned florescent orange, once it went blue and once it gave off more red light than anybody cared to look at.
His battleaxe is a plastic/polymer/silver alloy, the manufacture of which drove three dwarves, one elves and two polymer chemists insane.

This is an insular city-state where politics is more than a spectator sport.
City
This Sea Peoples city shares a coastal island with Prangport.
This is where Bokrü's small army of jewelers ply their craft.
It's on a steep hillside that overlooks the bay.
This is a large, stone structure which nevertheless loses the impressiveness battle to the Temple of Zeus, across the way.
This temple is of black marble. The standard Greek-style columns surround the outside, but then there's a wall with no windows.
Most major passenger traffic goes through here.

As the co-proprietor of a busy tavern, Bruutz is a relatively important fellow in this elf-infested city. He wonders if he is sane for living here -- after all, he is the town's only dwarf -- but the money is good. The Tavern provides him with undergound quarters in genuine rock! Of course, it's an eighty foot descent, but nobody bothers him there.
Verbal quirks: Mutters to himself a lot, even for a dwarf.

City
On the Island of Buh. Rumoured to be very dull.
Buh and South Buh are farming islands patronized almost excluively by the Sea Peoples. They have no treasures whatsoever, having been under water before the Shattering. There are no citizens higher than first level in anything. The place has no dweamor whatsoever. Crops include potatoes, grain, dairy and poultry products and amazingly innocent wine.
Former City
Before the Shattering, this was where Frenkenford sits today.
