50 Fathoms: The Great Library Fiasco

Now, I would like to take you into the role-playing world of 50 Fathoms which is a plot point game (a game which is presented with various plots which may come up if the players choose to take them on) presented by Savage Worlds.  Savage Worlds is a great introductory system to the world of role-playing, it is quick, easy, and fun.  Even if you are not new to gaming this system offers much in the way of fun for all levels of experience.

The crew had just infiltrated a party to gather information on finding a solution to the giant whirlpool at the center of the world.  This whirl pool was slowly sucking the entire world into itself and this brave crew had decided to take on the challenge themselves.

The Kraken, Loharis, had sneaked his way into the library in hopes of reading up on the subject.  On the top shelf he noticed a book entitle Sorcery of the World.  Being a sorcerer himself he climbed up to take a peak at this book.  As he was engrossed in his read two armed guards were walking by and noticed the strange creature sitting there reading.

"You are not supposed to be in here." They called out drawing their weapons. "We are going to have to..."

Before they could finish what they were saying, Loharis erupted with a blast of fire disintegration the two guards.  Once he collected what had just transpired he moved to leave, but the library began to catch fire.  He tried casting a water spell upon it.  The flames slowed in an area, but soon caught fire from the remaining.  Seen no other choice, he summoned his rock creature outside the window below and leaped out of the building.

Now, having someone to catch him to reduce the fall damage was a sound plan.  Having a rock golem catch you however was the same as hitting the ground.  Falling two stories into the golem's ready arms he hit with great force knocking the wind out of himself.  Feeling weakened he merely ordered the golem to carry him the rest of the way so they could escape.
