M.A.G.U.S. - the road ends in Gro-Ugron

Introduction

We awakened after a hard night, again in the orcish cages. They gathered up the human prisoners and herded us towards the mines. Just for fun, they lashed a couple of them - including Phempheus.

Swing that hammer, slave!

Obviously we were separated in the mines. Aegon got to work in a dead end hole, next to a very emo noble youngster. Wilborin and Phempheus arrived in a larger area, and started mining alongside several other prisoners, guarded by a single orc.

We had nothing to lose. The other dude, who was a spy for the wizard, was in a very bad shape, so we decided on swift action. Wilborin charged at the orc, swinging his miner's pick. Phempheus attacked with fire spells. The result was predictable...

At least Phempheus managed to scare the orc away, so he had time to gather up Aegon and the emo dude before the orc came back, with reinforcements.

The battle was short, as the adventurers were in their breeches, equipped with mining picks, while the orcs came in battle ready, fully armed and armored. We got knocked out pretty fast.

Aegon faked unconsciousness, so he was fully aware as we were tied to poles in the middle of the orc camp. The orc shaman ritually murdered another 10-15 slaves before us, just to make a point. Then he proceeded to cut our throats, one by one.

Total Party Kill

But this may not be the end.

Alternate ending

Originally, this was the third time our DM had to save us due to our recklessness. The wizard sent a couple of guys to ransom us, as he needed our services. We got back to the fortress, laid in bed for a couple of days, got better, celebrated, then had no idea what was going on.

Later on, as we were discussing our adventures, we all agreed that we screwed up as badly as possible in all the possible places, and we rather chose the ending that offered us glorious death.
