A Trip to Ilshenar

ane, Hook and Hawkeye Pike, the three old pirates, met at the Minoc moongate. Today was the day they would set foot on Ilshenar for the first time. These new lands were not yet accessible to everyone, only to some chosen citizens of Britannia.

They stepped through the moongate and were teleported to the Compassion gate in Ilshenar. Everything looked kindof strange and different...

After heading east through the woods, the pirates came across corpsers, orcs, ratmen and other creatures they knew from Britannia. However the creatures looked far more dangerous in Ilshenar.

An orcish mage began to casts spells on them, and suddenly winds of fire and flashes of light surrounded them like none of the pirates had seen before...
Finally they reached a small settlement which looked like a gypsy camp. There the vendors sold some wares and the pirates could buy food to supply themselves for the second part of the trip.

Being so astonished by the view of the creatures which were approaching him, Hawkeye did not at once realize in what danger he was. An ancient wyrm was flying towards him, and thanks to Hook's warning Hawkeye was able to flee.

In the far north they came to an old city which lay in ruins, surrounded by streams of lava. This city was haunted by many creatures, like stone harpies, earth elementals, hell hounds and other dangerous monsters. Their weapons and armor were fairly worn when they finally found a moongate which led them back to Britannia.

Hawkeye returned home to Buccaneer's Den, where he stored the gold he had found in his bank box. His brother Andrej Pike would now have to supply him with new armor and weapons.
