It seems like time slowed significantly, taking us months to move through the doors from the previous fight with the undead to this new room, but we finally make it through the temporal quagmire. In the new room is a gaping hole down which blood is trickling. The blood is flowing from an altar ahead […]
Considering that it has been 10 weeks since we last managed a full session, will everyone be available for the main D&D campaign this evening? It's looking hopeful!
The master of the undead miners has been unmasked, his power over them revealed to be exerted by a skull artefact, and he is heading out of the mine back to the surface to continue his nefarious plan. Seeing the boss jump in to a mine cart and push off there is only one way […]
