    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As I said above, thank you for reading and the kind words. The AP was well worth the time and effort and I hope it has gained traction over time. Certainly from what I see in the forums, it seems to be fairly popular through its various editions.

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    The city of Gate Pass was in the process of being rebuilt. Despite all that had happened, there was a sense of optimism in the air, a feeling that the worst was over and that everything would be better now. I hoped that this was not displaced. New leaders took responsibility for establishing the...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Drudge, in his usual stoic manner, just nodded. Desperately and casting at such speed that her hands were a blur, Leska blasted Longhelim with another lightning bolt and the paladin staggered and almost fell, literally on his last legs. But then he stood tall, swung and hit the Heart with...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    We advanced slowly until we came to an opening which seemed to lead into a cavern. As usual, Drudge ghosted ahead and then rapidly returned. He looked wide eyed as he whispered: “There is an enormous cavern beyond. A slow, massive heartbeat is reverberating around it. In the distance, I saw...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Everyone nodded and we roped ourselves together, just in case something happened and someone lost their grip. Then we were all ready and suddenly everything became gray and insubstantial. I could see the surrounding area but it was as if I was staring at it through a murky window on a dark...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As I watched the camp being packed, I approached Victor and Longhelim who were talking quietly to each other: Interrupting them politely, I asked: “Should we go and see Shaaladel to ask about Shalosha?” They had obviously thought about this as Victor replied: “We think it is best to...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    The night passed uneventfully; for once, there were no urgent summons to camp, no emergencies for which we were uniquely qualified, no threats to the mission. The spot we chose as our resting point was near the sea and the sound of the surf was soothing and relaxing. The next day, I woke up very...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    So we prepared to leave again and transported ourselves back to the spot where the Princess had been; she was no longer there but one of her staff was waiting in the same spot. As soon as she saw us, we were led to the Princess. She had set up her command post in a sheltered vale, with a tray of...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    It was during the course of this discussion that Drudge suddenly stopped us and pointed at a spot in the distance. I couldn’t see what he was trying to show us but that changed quickly as a ball of light sped towards him. I was able to recognize immediately as the lantern archon came to a...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Left alone, we quickly began to take stock and Felix, together with John and to a lesser extent Longhelim, began to heal everyone of their hurts. Despite the fact that this initial conflict was not our toughest test, we were still hurt. I transformed back into a dwarf and began to look anxiously...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    It was at this point that Foebane took us to one side and said: “As I said before, I plan to use you for a variety of roles; one of these is as raiding forces against the enemy. I and my advisors feel very strongly that the Torch should remain in the camp while you conduct these missions. It...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    There, in a corner, we were able to see that the pit fiend was busily trying to re-establish the ritual. He also had two companions now. Creatures which superficially looked like skeletons but which also had large scorpion tails which huge stingers. I recognised immediately: they were osyluths...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Thankfully, John had just unlocked the doors and Victor tried to open them for their progress to be impeded by some sort of barrier. I looked through the crack but could not see anything. I spoke quietly to the others, as I was preparing another spell: “They’ve put another magicall wall...

    And with that, she and the others began to take up guard positions near the entrance to the Sky Walk. We flew up the stairs and John moved down the corridor until he reached the door at the far end. Felix, in the meantime, was doing a little healing on Victor, who had suffered badly against the...
