Editing The Burning Plague

The three companions - [[Kimo FallenLeaf]] (an [[Elf|Elven]] [[monk]], fond of drink), [[Perrin Forester]] (a young [[Human]] [[ranger]], shy but good with a bow), and [[Jericho Arnon]] (A [[Half-Elf]] [[cleric]], cousin to Kimo on his mother's side and Perrin on his father's) - rescue a small mining town from the Burning Plague. They fought a dire weasel, a group of kobolds, some zombies, and an Orc Druid/Necromancer. Perrin fell victim to a thunderstone trap and was deaf for most of the adventure.

==Notable Treasure==
Cloak of Resistance +1 (Perrin still wears this)

==The Burning Plague - ''A short epic by Jericho Arnon''==
Three wanderers were they, young friends in search of excitement.<br />
Kimo, brother of the Fist, an elf with thoughts both holy and worldly.<br />
Perrin, a human at home in the trees, master of bow and woodcraft.<br />
And Jericho, singer of songs, writer of poems, child of elf and man.<br />

Spending their time in search of simple pleasures, they heard a call.<br />
A small town, beset by plague, high in the mountains<br />
Where silver lay in wait for those with the strength to take it.<br />
Innocent miners, simple and true, were falling, and no one knew why.<br />

They carried with them a gift from ORB, potions divine to fight the disease.<br />
But holy magic alone could not save the town,<br />
For the town's water was foul, where before had been pure<br />
and strong men had died in the mine.<br />

At the mouth of the cave, Kimo's elven eyes saw signs of a fight.<br />
Brave men had died but were not to be found.<br />
Only silent blood remained to tell of their end.<br />

Three friends, brave and true, pressed onwards, but fell victims themselves.<br />
Some foul creatures, lacking in honor, laid a trap for those yet to come.<br />
Brave Perrin, man of the bow, bore the brunt, as a magic stone fell,<br />
With runes all aglow it exploded, and Perrin was deaf.<br />

But the friends were soon repaid for this act of cowardice,<br />
When, in fair battle, nine kobolds were slain<br />
And their evil pet too.<br />
The wrath of the righteous spares not the treacherous.<br />

More traps had been laid, by treacherous kobold<br />
A hole in the ground, and Kimo fell prey<br />
But strong magic of healing, and great strength of courage<br />
Let our heroes press onward, to meet with their fate.<br />

Hidden in a cavern most dark, more kobolds did wait<br />
But by now, they were fearful, their traps did not work<br />
They asked for fair passage, instead of a fight<br />
And told of a demon, who thrived in the dark<br />

Men of honor, were the companions<br />
To let M'dok free with his band<br />
And press onwards in search of what lurked in the cave<br />
Trusting in ORB, and in steel and courage<br />

In a chamber most foul, a crypt in the mine<br />
Were our heroes witness to the blackest of sights<br />
Risen from their rest, reeking of death<br />
Nine corpses stood guard, unholy and dark<br />

Our heroes drew steel, strong weapons to fight<br />
And returned to their rest all nine of the guards<br />
With Kimo's prayer for their souls<br />
the party pressed on with their task.<br />

One chamber remained, the last of the mine.<br />
And the party was faced with their demon<br />
Who called out from the dark<br />
"I am Jakx, of the Torn Claws, and it's a good day to die!"<br />

A cloud of mist rose from the ground, dishonorable spell<br />
But the men never lacked for courage, and ventured in.<br />
Kimo fell first, to the orc's devil wolf<br />
Jericho, loyal friend, slew the wolf and was slain in return<br />
And Perrin was alone, left to fight in the fog.<br />

The forces of light triumphed, Glory to ORB<br />
As Perrin's deadly bow found it's mark.<br />
Jakx was dead, his plague died with him<br />
And the water ran clear again in Duvik's pass.<br />
Perrin's friends were revived, a joyous day for all<br />
and the miners returned to their craft.<br />
