Ok, to start off, I will tell you my character's name. His name is Alturiak (which is actually the month of February in the Forgotten Realms, but we are adventuring in DragonLance, on Krynn). Alturiak is ,at the moment, a fourth level mage. He is a renegade Qualinesti elf. His alignment is Neutral Evil.
There is one other player character named Erin. She is a fifth level ranger. Also an elf. She is of Chaotic Neutral alignment.
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, I'll just tell you what's going on. Our first adventure, we walked up to an inn in Sullest. We were going to stay the night, but, being first level characters, didn't have enough money. So, he said that we could stay as long as we liked if we went to get his stolen amulet back from the local theives guild. Of course, being thirsty for adventure, we accepted. So, after we go through about 12 hours of game time and finally get the amulet back, we are both at fourth level. We return to the inn keeper and realize that we have enough money that we don't need to stay at the end. One thing lead to another and we kind of pissed the DM off by trying to keep the amulet as opposed to giving it backto the inn keeper. So, the DM decided to have the inn keeper (suddenly a mage) and his four guards take us hostage. The inn keeper quickly cast a Sleep spell on me, the saving through for whic I felled. While my partner tried to handle the four guards. As one might expect, we were quickly taken hostage. We awoke tied up in another room. The inn keeper entered and offered to let us go if we never came back to the town. We tried to bluff and say that we were related to Raistlin and Caramon Majere (heroes of the lance) but that didn't work. So, we manage to piss off the DM yet again and he has the inn keeper teleport us a thousand miles away. When we awake, we find a cave that is packed with 74 orcs. Luckily, we are up on a ledge. I quickly cast a Flaming Sphere down upon the orcs, immediately killing 20 of them. I then cast a Grease spell on one of the stair cases (there are two) leading up to the ledge we are upon. The orcs, at first try to come up both stair ways, but soon realize one of them is Greased. We now have only one stair case to defend. As 54 orcs charge up the other stair case. I quickly off four of them with 2 Magic Missle scrolls and 2 Magic Missle spells. As they back us into a cave, my partner, kills a few of them with his broad sword. I manage to help him out a little with a Stinking Cloud Spell, before I run out of spells. At this point in the game, I'm back in the cave, trying to memorize another Flaming Sphere spell (as opposed to using my quarterstaff) while Erin tries to hold them off. Exciting, isn't it?
Well, we finally killed the 74 orcs. Then, we went to the dungeon and found a goblin and an old man. That's all we had time for. My mage is now at fifth level.
Well, my mage is still at fifth level. Not much has happened. The old man left. We still have the gobli (he's a second level fighter). We traveled north to Castle Deninbar. The only interesting thing there was that we found a magical broom where you say the command word (like I'm going to tell you what it is so you can steal my broom) and it beats your enemies over the head. Nice to have a DM with a sense of humor.
