Heading in to the depository to meet a contact and collect a case, we are told that inside there is a 'very ugly gnome indeed'. 'That's okay', says Thrak, our dwarf barbarian, 'we're used to dealing with ugly gnomes.' Thrak looks my way, me being a gnome. '...not mentioning any names.' 'What is my name?' […]
'Help! Help! My baby is missing!' Another citizen in distress, as sections of the city are burning and there is panic in the streets. We must help him. 'Cat or dog?' 'Weasel!' Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. We can still help. I cast speak with animals and start calling out in weasel for the […]
The city is on fire! We sort of learn what the weird noises were, and why a few of our ambushers were alight, when we escape capture and flee outside to see many houses on fire. Some large, flying creatures appear to be setting light to the city, or are at least assisting. We have […]
As the fight continues, our new ally, the contact for the resistance, starts to cast a spell. No one in our party recognises the spell, perhaps because our fearless gnome illusionist has ducked out of the side door and is pretending to be a barrel for survival purposes. It's working so far, but it means […]
We connect with a contact in the resistance, but our meeting place is rumbled. We find this out when we hear a voice outside the front door commanding someone, probably multiple someones, to burst in. A massive thud signals our first taste of action in the threatening war. Not only does the front door get […]
An army is marching on our town that happens to be situated in a strategically good pass. Word reaches the town that the army has sent a vanguard of inquisitors, whose intent is to root out any and all spellcasters hostile to the new empire. 'If I were a spellcaster, I'd be worried about this', […]
Making our first tentative steps in to the murky ruins, supposedly infested with undead, we encounter not skeletons but a hypnotoad. The hypnotoad's eyes glow with a vicious brightness, hypnotising all but me in the room, Jack the half-orc drunken brute who was rifling through papers in an adjacent room, and Kyras who has been […]
Will looks back through the archives, curious to see when he joined the group, simultaneously getting a feel for just how long it takes us to work through an adventure. He finds the time he joined, when he takes over from the ninja to show everyone that it can be an impressive class, which is […]
Only Kalarel remains before us. Once defeated, our mission will be nearly complete. Adran moves to strike what is hoped the final blow and Adoni-zedek assists, granting big bonuses for each of Adran's attacks. Getting a +35 bonus for his main weapon and +33 for the off-hand Adran can hardly miss. But he tries his […]
The final ghoul serving Kalarel bites in to me, causing me to stiffen and become immobilised. It is a queer form of immoblisation, as I can still do jumping jacks if I so desire, but not being able to move voluntarily from my position supposedly makes the exarch's next attack more potent, even if I […]
