Having defeated Orcus, there's the question of what to do with the rod that he dropped. Well, the others are questioning it, I'm just gonna claim it as rightfully mine. I go to pick it up. 'Do you think you can even lift it? It's quite big.' 'It is magical. Maybe it will resize, if […]
Our stealthy facade has been dropped in the wizards' tower, thanks to various traps and monsters that we have encountered. We're still trying not to be seen, but it's tricky when you can actually be seen, and there are people around. And a stone golem, in the form of a giant spider thumping around in […]
We are all invisible and sneaking through a tower of Dark Elf wizards in the Dark Elf capital city. It's good that we're invisible, frankly, but it still may not be good enough to simply be unseen. We also try to move quietly. Thanks to Krunch the Barbarian's new-found passion for being a Rogue, he […]
'You head towards the Sorcery Tower.' ''Saucery'? I was expecting something pointier.'
After a seasonal encounter, we get to loot Father Christmas's sack, with random rolls on the wondrous items table. Reaching in to the sack, I am excited to find, 'Ooh, a +3 Quarterstaff!' Pigeonhole gets second pick, and pulls out, 'Ooh, a Robe of Scintillating Colours!' Krunch's expectations are high, when he pulls out, 'uhh, […]
We have a small army of mushrooms moving to battle a threat to their giant mushroom overlord, or something like that. We're a bit fuzzy about the details, but that doesn't mean we can't spot an infiltrator in our ranks, particularly when they are startled by the excellent crown I am wearing. Sure, some say […]
In our continued wanderings through the Underdark, Pigeonhole has been afflicted by spores. Those are never good. I have a plan, though, and it is amazing. I want to cast Blight and kill all plant life on Pigeonhole, with only a tiny bit of collateral damage to the host. Pigeonhole is not entirely convinced of […]
The Modron army leads us onwards, until we find the device that they were after. It's a demon-neutralising device, or something like that, and it just so happens that various demon lords are wandering around the Underdark at the moment, and one is with the device in the cavern ahead. It's convenient, but still not […]
We've found an Instant Fortress, somewhat guarded by some undead beasties, but now it's ours and it's a good place to rest. Things get a little awkward, however, when the Modron army, found thanks to the Modron we rescued from the Beholder, ask if they can join us. 'Will they all fit?' 'It's a little […]
The Beholder is proving curiously difficult to engage in its lair, as if it has some kind of advantage from having constructed everything to fit its strengths. We can't get close to it, at least not safely, and if its not safe then we are in full view of all of its eyes. Even so, […]
