This was my first attempt at any type of Solo RPG using the Scarlet Heroes system.  I realized now that I made a few mistakes along the way, but as with all things, the more you experience, the more you learn.

Klavius - Human Cleric
Str: 16, Dex: 6, Con: 14, Int: 14, Wis: 15, Cha: 7
1H Weapon, Shield, Chain Armor, Healing Bag
Former Temple Knight (2), Contempt for Pain (2), Friend of Secret Fence (1)


'Cursed Temple of Yamiz'
Temple - Cursed - Lizardfolk

As reports of a disturbance on the edge of the forest made way back to Klavius, he knew he would soon be summoned to investigate.

There had been strange sightings of what folk were describing as lizard men wandering around the old abandoned temple and it was time for him to see this for himself.

Unfortunately for Klavius, the threat of journey had risen well above expectations as he found himself just outside the entrance on his knees preparing one of his most trusted spells for the day.

Threat Level:      4

Upon entering he could tell that indeed the temple did have new occupants as he could hear the rumblings and what sounded like chanting echoing throughout the hallways.

He had ventured into this temple before, but only to the first room, which was once thought to be a garden and place for those traveling to rest and take a moment to pay their respects to a few of the statues of the former leaders of the order.  Once he made his way to the familiar setting he looked around cautiously, but found nothing out of the ordinary as the room was still in the same dilapidated condition it had been a few months earlier when he was here to seek out any forgotten treasures that might be hidden amongst the ruins.

After turning up nothing new and no signs that anyone had been there, he decided to venture further and out of the west leading door that lead into a long hallway with what appeared to be some sort of room to the south and a long dark hallway to the north.  It was then, while looking north that he first saw what appeared to be the silhouettes of 3 human looking forms walking towards him.  Klavius readied himself as they gave no notion of pausing nor response when he called out to them and as the shapes came more into view, he now saw what he could only describe to himself as malformed humans with scales and sharp fingernails almost resembling claws where a man's hands would have been.

He then decided that he must take action as he had not knowingly, backed away from the entrance to the garden room and they now stood in his path of escape.  He lashed out at the closest with his trusted sword, but missed as the creature appeared to dodge out of the way.  Before Klavius could ready himself for another strike the creature struck out and landed a long scratch like mark that cut throw the creases in his armor to do damage to his arm.

Klavius:             5 + 3 + 6 = Miss
Lizardmen:     14 +2 + 4 = Hit -> 5 -> 2 Damage

Klavius HP:         5            Lizardmen HD: 6

This battle went on as slowly and painfully Klavius was able to incapacitate all 3 of the lizard type creatures, using up his prepared prayer in the process, but suffering major wounds in the process as his armor appeared to not fully protect him as he thought.

Klavius HP:     2

Klavius really should have retreated to the safety of the garden, but instead decided to press on as he was up against the door leading the room at the south end of the hallway.  Upon opening the door, a trap of some sort was triggered and he had to act quickly to dodge out of the way swinging object now heading straight for his head. 

Save:  Passed

Once the swinging pendulum had come to a rest he gathered himself up off the ground and started to look around when all of a sudden 3 more silhouettes appeared in the corner and started making their way towards him.  Unfortunately, this time Klavius was not as gifted with his strikes as the enemies surrounded him and began to claw and bite at him with a feverish pace.  Klavius succumbed to his wounds shortly after only barely wounding one of his assailants.


Klavius HP:  0
