Hi,
Playing in the Untold War module as a Dark Servant, one of my Mage
characters has encountered the Balrog in Moria (see below). Any ideas
on how I should react to get a positive result (other than FLEE).
Cheers, stephen
It was a long descent into the bowels of the mountain. First the vent
had led into a narrow stone corridor
leading farther and farther down. Then there were the almost
unscalable walls and finally the maze of
confusing and intersecting chambers and caverns. And the heat! It had
become hotter and hotter! There looked
to be even more chambers. And the doors were so small. Almost as if
they had been built by Dwarves. Perhaps
treasure could be found as well? Suddenly, all thoughts of treasure
leapt from his mind as a giant black
fiery being strode into view carrying a burning whip and a sword of
red fire. The Balrog of Moria!! Should
he...
Mention SAURON's name and use it to get the Balrog's obedience
APOLOGIZE for the intrusion and try to leave
ATTACK the Balrog and take whatever treasure he can find
Tell a STORY about how he got lost and how it won't ever happen again
OFFER the Balrog money or artifacts to let him go
BOW down before the Balrog and acknowledge his awesome presence
FLEE
