'My spell is still in effect. I'm inethereal.' '...corporeal?' 'I prefer 'inethereal'.'

Rescuing Nerrick and Pasha mostly worked, but they were inconveniently stripped off all their stuff whilst captured. The fiends! Gone are Nerrick's armour and magic weapons, gone is Pasha's spellbook. Do we need them? Well, maybe. We formulate a plan to go back and get them. The plan is to run in to the encampment, […]

Pasha, Nerrick and Herbivore have been captured. This aggression will not stand. Thankfully, a couple of ally scouts have been sent to find out what we're up to, and are willing to help rescue my colleagues. An enemy scout, killed in the earlier melee, is dug out of the snow and his uniform taken, which, […]

A decrepit door is nearly our downfall, as our dexterity-based party is nearly turned around when pushing with all our might does nothing. Only by happening to pull a strong creature out of Pasha's Bag of Tricks do we get past this obstinate obstacle. Inside the ancient tower we find the resting place of the […]

We vanquish a necromancer who made his home inside some barrows and was using the reanimated corpses of a nearby ex-village as labour.

Have we found everything of value? How can we know, until someone casts Detect Magic? Pasha goes above and beyond the call of duty, not only casting the spell but making sonar noises as he searches for magic, 'Bing! Bing! Bing!', until I throw his pencil out of the room. We find a couple of […]

Our dwarf companion lives from the previous encounter, and we press on with the excellent idea of rescuing all the dwarf slaves in the mine. We reach what looks like the main rock face, where a couple of dozen chained dwarves toil, watched over by Bugbears. We find ourselves facing more Bugbears than there are […]

Collapsing a mine to halt production of an army's weapons is a fine plan, but having to make sure all of the dwarven slaves get out first is health and safety gone mad. There is a glimmer of hope that things can be made easier, though, when our dwarf ally and guide drops from a […]

We have a ship! We also have a crew. This leads to squabbling over who should be captain, which takes most of the day. Eventually, seeing the crew standing around in stunned disbelief, I simply shout out something that sounds captainy. 'Ready for sail!' 'Hey, who made you captain?' 'No one, but maybe you'd like […]
