(Run 6 begins) April 2, 295 YF The expedition from the pyramid returns to the camp where the herb picking group is just finishing for the day. Mauri estimates that they have about a days worth of work left to complete the gathering. When she sees that Ug is injured she calls up on the power...

So does that mean we've finally completed repaying our debt to Brechen? Abernathy: Shuffled off this mortal coil and went to join the choir eternal. Tor: Prevented great-great-great-great-great-great-great grand-dad from eating my soul. Kay: Rescued the Yrimpa. Dranko: Redemption of Califax...

Wow, things are getting quite intense! It's exciting to see the culmination of a lot of these plot threads after sooo long. But that visit to the Archmagi really scares me... I have sudden visions of Aravis accidentally snuffing out the Archmagi in one mis-step with the Maze... Eagerly...

Thanks for all the kind welcomes! :-) The little "Torling", as you say, is doing quite well... amazingly enough his 2nd birthday is right around the corner, and he's tearing around the house like madman, coloring furiously and demanding that I play Mario Sunshine with him... First post-hiatus...

This may fill in a few holes... it's a listing of run logs that I found when going through my old notes. Hopefully this isn't spoiling your narrative thread here, Sialia -- if so lemme know and I'll edit it back out. 7/2/1997 Eltariel's crash landing in Gordie's Hole, joined the Defenders &...

March 28, 295 YF The next morning, Mauri and Jacob apply more healing to the group, and they set out for Hillshire. By noon they are out of the foothills and passing by clusters of small but well-kept farms. The lightly rolling hills are home to many freshly-plowed fields, brimming with color...

(Run 5 begins) March 26, 295 YF The party returns to the apparent exit, determined to try and find a way out past the lines of glyphs radiating from the statue in the center. Torix tries the direct approach, and boldly steps across of one of the lines. As he does, a the shimmering curtain of...

(Run 4 begins) March 24, 295 YF Camped in the mouth of the crawlway, the party debates whether to press onwards, or risk going back across the larger cavern of bats and risk another attack to camp in the more defensible areas near the ratmen. Given that they are out of spells and fairly...

March 24, 295 YF Before the run begins, the party receives XP for the first two runs, with a base of 325 xp apiece. The party breaks camp at the base of Critias’ tower, and heads back into Gray Cliffs to gather supplies and say their farewells. It is clear that the town has been through a...

March 22, 295 YF, Late Afternoon The party emerges from the mines, and begins the walk back towards Gray Cliffs. However, before they have gotten very far, Tala spots Barav Kree (Tala’s hawk) circling overhead. He cries out and flies down, alighting on her outstretched arm. There is a message...

Part 2 March 22, 295 YF As dawn begins to break in the town, the storm has subsided and the previous evening’s dangers seem further away. The Aemon’s Forge is filled with the smells of eggs and bacon as Elda Taproot prepares a hearty breakfast. Milo discovers that the mysterious traveler has...

(Run 1 begins) March 21, 295 YF From their favorite spot, high atop the ancient watchtower, Tala and Milo Taproot watch a spring thunderstorm roll in across the island. The storms are always a good show, but the two halflings spot something very unusual from the tall tower; a large ship...

General Information: Watchtower Isle is a smallish island, about 10 miles across the long way, and perhaps 3 or 4 miles across the narrow. Much of the island is rocky, though the center of the island has heavy vegetation and a small forest. Craggy rocks and rugged terrain form most of the...

So about a year and a half ago, I started posting the logs of my story hour here. Then, about a year ago, alas, real life intervened and the work schedules of all involved put the game on hiatus for a year (the computer game we were all working on went into crunch mode for a year). Well, now...

Hijacking in progress... where are those sky marshals? I believe I in fact still have all my notes from Eltariel's journey from the City of Horns through Cirit Tordu, then into the desert and the final showdown at Tovag Baragu. So I'd be happy to get that all typed in sometime... -- Xemu /...
