We met Bruce

So we went on an adventure in Nagafen's lair looking for lost pages from the great tomes of Odus.

And we met Bruce.

He wasn't like the other fire giants. In fact, Bruce wasn't mean at all. He had a mind for business. He had political goals and a plan for action.

He told us of a plan he had made to rip the extremely valuable shell off of one of the spiders below his family's castle. The shell was from a spider that he said was completely immune to magic. This would pose no problem for him, as he was... suffice to say... a DUNDERING IDIOT in the ways of the arcane. He made up for it with raw strength and calculated planning. Bruce, you see, was a shoe in for the next Warlord election. But to prove himself, he had to not only show his might, but also tactical prowess.

We were won over by Bruce's plan to seize the powerful spider shell and realized we compensated for one of his shortcomings and he compensated for ours. Because the spider was immune to arcanery, there would be little we could do to to kill it. This is where Bruce came in. He assured us that he would smash the spider and allow us to extract the shell. In return, we would take care of the swarms of spiders that often caused him great pain and drove him off in his attempts.

At first, we questioned why such a mighty and fiery warrior as Bruce would have problems with the spiders in the lair. They clearly had some kind of lava for blood and venom, which should have posed no problem for him. That's when we noticed the number of bites covering Bruce and the rotten skin that covered his back and legs. Bruce had made countless attempts to prove himself and had been forced to retreat far too many times. In fact, Bruce told us he didn't have many more attempts in him. The doctor fire giants told him his organs had sustained far too much damage despite his resilience to the venom.

So a deal was made with the Dark Men of Odus. We would control the swarms of spiders that had plagued Bruce's efforts to prove himself a mighty Warlord. We would claim the spider shell. And we did. Bruce cornered that spider and pounded it into the wall and ground, over and over while the entranced spider brood gazed on in total stupor.

Bruce would go on to become a more fearsome Warlord than Skarlon had ever been. He would slay many Seal Team, Lineage, Venerate, Black Lotus and Kingdom.

One day, you may get to meet him...

Bruce was hesitant to attack the stone spider because of his fear of the lavaduct crawlers that protected it. So I attacked it for him. But then he charged in without even thinking! Well it was hard to tell if he was thinking because he mostly smashed everything in sight, including us sometimes.

But I was stunned to see that the stone spider didn't even flinch him! And thankfully he was too distracted to notice the five other crawlers that surrounded us from the carelessness of Vabober the elemental. We started to worry because Bruce was taking a while to kill it while we were trying to control them. And after holding them off for far too long, the stone spider screeched and flipped on its back and I picked up the golden breastplate and shoved it into a box. But the spiders were no longer mesmerized and their bites were overwhelming us.

Master Skullmogger, Tiffany, and Snewp opened gates to the void while I was forced to run. I warned the cowardly Antonicans on the way who complained but we had no choice. Maybe if they were nicer to one of the giants then they would have some help.

None of us know what happened to Bruce so we plan on returning to check on him and also investigate a jinni. Bruce told us that he wished for some boots but the Jinni never granted it. So we might just take them by force. Including his jewelry.

I love this story and how it was told. An epic tale!

Sounds like a nice little spelunking into the deeper depths of that great volcano! Noteworthy mention to the Odusian scribes for the prodigious journalism of their party's action.
