Having beaten off the chickensaurs, the surviving cavemen raced for the next room. As they entered, they felt the world shift again...the prehistoric jungle faded, replaced by rolling green hills and forests. Entering the room, they found cots with wooden chests at the end, pegs on the wall and green cloaks upon the pegs. Inside the chests were green cloths, but far too small for brawny cave women and men! But the cloaks looked stylish! Looking out a window on the far side of the room, one of the cavefolk spotted something big and winged fly overhead. The group left and walked back to the room on the opposite side of the "village green". As shifting took place again and they were back in the prehistoric jungle, several vomiting! A howl of chickensaurs - reinforced by friends - inspired the party to run back to "fantasyland". After recovering from the terror pee or pooping, the party tried the wooden door opposite the cot and chest room. Inside was a princess room. ...

The Clan of Ogg, a primitive group of cave dwellers living on the odd tundra, have sent a party of their bravest hunters, gatherers, and others to investigate a fallen piece of their Sun God Suss. Unfortunately, the Gift has fallen in the Dread Forrest, a distant and foreboding wooded area in a great depression zone. Our (0-level) heroes set out in a straight line for the forest (surprisingly, John is very direct in his tactics). After half a day crossing the hunting lands the party encountered a wounded lion dragging a strange corpse of a red man. To get a closer look, the party fought the lion (losing one in the process) and looked over the red corpse, one took the remains of a silver tunic the strange man wore and all were impressed by the 7 fingered hands. The party continued their journey and camped for the night. Through the night they were attacked by hyenadeons, which killed three more of the party.  Just before entering the forest, the party encountered a party from ...
