Half the group busy due to Father's Day stuff, so the session was cancelled in advance. It's looking like there'll be more absences in general over the summer holidays, (with some people getting much longer vacations than others :p ) so we can expect more weeks where we fail to make quorum over...

5/7 present this time. Things started off slowly, with the group debating whether they should keep on exploring the island, or try teleporting back to Tu'narath. The drow got impatient and decided to play sacrificial lamb and cast the spell on himself. To no-one's great surprise, he reappeared...

Everyone was present. The group got a little chance to catch their breath, but before they could recharge their spells, they were swept up by an astral cyclone (cue wizard of oz tornado scene.) After a short but interminable period of being whirled around, they were dumped unceremoniously at the...

All but one were present again. The orc grabbed the binder and they charged into the melee as Xhagevoxhab pulled itself out of the gate. Both attacked, but the orc was only doing mild damage after the DR was taken into account and the binder wasn't penetrating at all. Meanwhile the priestess...

Everyone was present this time. They started their exploration of level 3 in similar fashion to the previous two. The winged kobold explored the mausoleums of area 16 (now thoroughly ransacked by the hungry fungus people) while the binder sent her shadow forward into area 17. It was quickly...

Another decent enough week of dungeoncrawling with 5/7 present. The two kobolds headed in opposite directions to explore the second level of the temple, with the winged one heading east and the sniper heading west. East was lots of empty rooms, but west was the eyes of the deep, using their...

Back in action after after a week's absence due to me having to work on Sunday. 6 out of 7 players were present, including the Drow who hadn't shown up for a full month now. (and we were starting to wonder if he was gone for good, but turns out he was just busy moving house) In sharp contrast to...

Once again, 5 players were present. The session started slowly, as they explored the final reliquary level of the temple. They found the buttons that opened the gates to the rooms containing the fake chains and tablets, and examined them carefully before proceeding. Using read magic first on the...

Once again 5/7 were present, more than enough to keep things going. They started by investigating the closet from last time. They detected the trap, but let the Binder tank it as usual rather than going through all the effort of disarming. Inside, they of course found seven gray shimmering...

Back into action this week, although one person called off in advance and another no-showed, leaving 5/7 of the group present. Having hit a lull in the fighting, the sniper skittered around on the outside wall of the prison and looked inside. He rolled pretty well on his spot check and caught a...

No session this week. Two people cancelled in advance, one person showed up an hour after the game was supposed to start to apologise about a sudden emergency and the last one turned up an hour and a half late after everyone had already given up, leaving just 3 out of 7 waiting around for an...

Well, it's the 5th anniversary of the thread. So much for any hope that I'd get through this journey quicker than the Dragon run. Prepping and running a game takes up quite a bit of the time I would be using for writing this thread, but I am still getting through around 2-3 issues per month and...

Another fairly short session where everyone turned up punctually. Having finally learned the source of the fungus taking over the mountain and the name of its master, the group's next objective was clear. They still spent several days heading back to Tu'narath, making sure their superiors were...

Diary of Master Xiang Ru: Highest enlightened one of the dread pagoda. (28 days ago): We have lost contact with our agent in the kuo-toa community below. I’m dispatching a team of several Jann to investigate the situation. (24 days ago): The Jann have returned bearing news of a curious fungus...

A relatively short session, with only one person late. The flying brain was easily dispatched with a single round of Binder full attack, dropping most of the group out of combat. The flying kobold killed the fleeing monk in his way a round later, giving them free rein to move around the map. The...
