'So far, we've saved a man, killed a bat, fought a bearded devil...' 'We didn't 'save' a man. We cut his head off.' 'Yes, saving him.' In the same way that his black bear 'disarmed' a trap for us, I suppose.
Deeper in the fire forest, a stone bridge crosses a gorge. We have little choice but to trust the bridge, already broken in places, despite the stress the continuous fire surrounding it must have caused the stone. Most of us get across safely, having found and avoiding some weak spots, when from a cave below […]
We enter the fire forest, a forest that has been burning for decades. That seems peculiar, if we're being honest, and are intrigued as to what could cause this. Unfortunately, the level of knowledge Salvador can bring to bear on the subject is that a forest burning for forty years isn't natural. Thanks, Sal. As […]
Salvador leaps in to action! But Thrak is enlarged and in the doorway, completely blocking access to the enemies just outside. Salvador has a ranged weapon, but he has also just applied magic oil to his melee weapon, and it seems a waste to ignore it. He could go outside to try to flank the […]
We survive the ambush, even though, or because, the party was split. Searching the bodies, one of the leaders looks like he has some pretty shiny equipment, certainly better than what the scouts were wearing. A chain shirt, a nice-looking weapon, a cloak that's apparently worth mentioning, all which prompts the call of 'detect magic!' […]
Ambushed! As we travel through a cliff pass of sorts, some loud bangs startle our horses. A couple of us manage to control our mounts, a couple don't, causing their mounts to sprint down the path away from the noise. As they do, a pair of half-orcs appear above us and start shooting. We have […]
Out of the city, making our way to our destination along a road that hopefully isn't subject to many patrols. Just in case, our contact is taking us on a route that is rarely trod. 'I'm sure there's a good reason why we're planning to go through the Fire Forest of whatever it was.' 'The […]
We get the case and the information inside, now we need to get it out of the city and to safe hands who know what to do with it. Getting out of a city that is somewhat sieged and being held to ransom won't be as easy as walking out of the gates at midnight, […]
Aggar's mysterious voice is talking again, except this time we can all hear it. It wants the case that we've recovered, which we are fine with, but only after we've got what's inside the case, which the voice is fine with. The problem is that we can't open the case. My terrible diplomacy works wonders, […]
Inside the elven enclave, we've surprised the elf wizard leading us to the case we're after by ambushing and killing her. The surprise didn't last long. Now we've found the building where the case is supposed to be, and been let in all by following the voices in Aggar's head. No, it's not ideal. Also […]
