Not a very productive session this week, with only 3 players present and lots of disruption as terrible weather on my end caused the internet to keep cutting in and out, but at least we started to get things moving again after three weeks of holiday stuff. After recapping their last few moves...

Everyone was present. After the sniper caught everyone else up with his solo adventures, they decided not to go that route again straight away, but finish exploring the other corridors in this section that they'd missed first time around. Firstly, they headed back to the crossroads of area 4 and...

The sneaky explorations of Nurhirthisik Umbraxakarosj, Unseen Seer and Spellwarp Sniper of Mak Thuum Ngatha. N: Hmm. Firstly, can you offer greater detail of the illithic depiction you described? Nurhi shifts through the nightmarish madness of the ethereal in this place, through the wall and...

4 players present: They hemmed and hawed for a while on the very first puzzle, eventually pushing each of the buttons in order. Fortunately there are no particular consequences for failing this first one, and so even though they pushed the right one last (standing well back and getting a summon...

Everyone was present. The session started with a lengthy debate about where to go next. The main topic of the debate was the red sun world. Just what was going on with that place? Both the githyanki and the sniper had done as much research as they could, which continued to get cryptic hints but...

The players of the priestess and the githyanki were both absent this time, leaving just the binder & sniper controlling everyone to finish off the match. The drow wandered in a little late. Seeing that his companions were winning, he decided to place a big bet upon them before joining the crowd...

4/5 people present. (The winged kobold has been left behind in Redeagle because his player has been forced to work on Sundays for the forseeable future, so as with the orc, he can be assumed to be off in Pharagos doing stuff to further the war effort, but in such a way that makes it easy for him...

5 people present at the start, although the drow dropped out midway through. They resumed where they left off, rushing up the stairwell with the binder tanking a few rounds of lightning bolts before they reached the top. She couldn't shred the slaad responsible on the first round, because the...

Everyone was present. The winged kobold and entourage continued to sneakily make their getaway, heading over the river and east into the university area. Unfortunately, he rolled a natural 1 on hide, which meant they blundered straight into a patrol that had already been magically alerted to the...

Everyone was present. This was a non-stop action scene, although the perspectives weren't split as I feared, because Zerr decided that as much as the player might want to be involved in the action downstairs, that would require going through a lot of slaadi, he's not a primary fighter and it...

Duo session featuring winged kobold Zerr von Kopa (disguised as a halfling) and 3 of the binder's followers: (Rei the 6th level Sha'ir and two unnamed 4th level bards) While the others were heading down into the vaults, these four came strolling boldly through the front door, dressed richly...

4 players present. They continued on debating the details of the heist for the first half an hour before finally getting into the action, taking the time to jump some low-level thieves guild members, stash their bodies and put their cloaks on as part of their efforts to make sure someone else...

5 players present. This was a slow one almost entirely taken up by interparty roleplaying. They had a number of options for new missions available to them. They could continue investigating the world on the other side of the gate under Needlespire. (Two of the party independently did this...

Everyone was present. The binder activated Rage and continued to shred Xhagevoxhab with even more attack and damage bonuses. Meanwhile the other active players concentrated on saving the two downed PC's. The githyanki summoned a couple of Bralani, placing one next to the drow and healing him...

I changed my mind. I'm finding the 4e issues so gruellingly samey and formulaic that I'm struggling to keep going with them, so I've decided to interleave Star Wars Gamer, followed by Kobold Quarterly, Gygax Magazine, and maybe Undefeated as well if I can get a complete collection of that...
