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...

Some lateness and general confusion due to daylight saving shifts, but everyone eventually turned up. This was another session full of combat, although the action economy was definitely more in favour of the players this time. The winged kobold, being extremely low on hit points, killed the monk...

Two people absent this week, but their characters continued to participate along with everyone else in a full four hours of carnage. Before the group could act, Wulan Cheng used up the efreeti's second wish to restore her & her partner to full health. Realising there was only one wish left and...

Some lateness, but everyone turned up this time. After finishing interrogating the yak-folk in the stone garden, they shoved him in the Binder's new extradimensional storage space and continued their way up the mountain. 9,999 tedious steps and one wandering monster check later they were at the...

All but one present this time. Like last session, this one was both unusually long and combat light. Much of this was because they had the first chance in 3 months to actually identify the magic items and spend the large quantities of loot they'd been accumulating all through the underdark arc...

One of the longest sessions, but also lightest on combat, interestingly. Two people were busy for most of the session, but came in near the end. Having had a good look at the experiments in room 20, they then cautiously investigated the corridor to room D21. The binder went first as usual, which...

Another busy session with a single absence that notified us well in advance. Having cleared the central area last time, they had lots of options of which route to explore next. First up, the large corridor directly north. The umber hulk in area D22 was another easy kill. They ignored the big...

A relatively short session, with some people late and others having to leave early, but everyone was present for at least part of it. The first part was spent cleaning up in the prison, questioning the prisoners before eventually deciding to release them. The drow was sent on his way back to...
