Major Rules of The Stone Soules
1. DON'T SPLIT THE PARTY.
2. Assassins will be killed without provocation. b. The same goes for Undead, Demonspawn, Gnolls, etc.
3. Good parties don't work with Fire Giants!
4. Hideous, trapped evils? No problem!
5. Don't use the Wand of Wonder unless it really doesn't matter what happens, but we still want it to be different from how it is now.
6. Left is right and right is wrong, so always go right. Useful for making decisions on direction. Similarly: When in darkness, look to the north. West is best and east is dumb. South is Ralph. So, in order of choice: North, East, South, West.
7. Don't use magical items without getting them identified, except in dire circumstances. These situations should be even more dire than those allowing use of the Wand of Wonder.
A Party Theme Song (Especially of interest in regard to our expedition to the Southern Wilderness:)
Something The Boy Said by Sting
When we set out on this journey
There were no doubts in our minds
We set our eyes to the distance
We would find what we would find
We took courage from our numbers
What we sought we did not fear
Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling
The shadow would disappear
But our thoughts kept returning
To something the boy said
As we turned to go
He said you'll never see our faces again
You'll be food for a carrion crow
Every step we took today
Our thoughts would always stray
From the wind on the moor so wild
To the words of the captain's child
Something the boy said
In the circles we made with our fires
We talked of the pale afternoon
The clouds were like dark riders
Flying on the face of the moon
We spoke our fears to the captian
And asked what his son could know
For we would never have marched so far
To be food for a crow
Every step we took today
Our thoughts would always stray
From the wind on the moor so wild
To the words of the captain's child
Something the boy said
When I awoke this morning
The sun's eye was red as blood
The stench of burning corpses
Faces in the mud
Am I dead or am I living?
I'm too afraid to care, I'm too afraid to know
I'm too afraid to look behind me
At the feast of the crow
We spoke our fears to the captain
And asked what his son could know
For we would never have marched so far
To be food for a crow
