Bosom of the mother- part 2 One side of the canyon came alive with stones, dust and rubble, which tumbled down on their miserable little caravan. The horses, noticing the imminent danger first, tore lose, trying to get away from the immediate vicinity of the impact, but still three of the...

:o Thank you. Nightfall, Ben's player wasn't there during the session, and after the fight against the Vengauraks, everybody was wounded. However, Jan used his "lay on hands" only on himself, burning the ability for the day. Now, I would expect a servant of Corean to be selfless and to take...

Bosom of the Mother- part 1 Once again, Kelemis Durn welcomed them in the sunroom. For a moment, while they were exchanging pleasantries, Jan's mind wandered back to their trip to Lave. They had travelled down the corridor, where Vengauraks had ambushed them. When afterwards Jan had used his...

Battle of Scorched Rock- part 4 of 4 In the beginning, the squads of Jan, Niklas, Ben and Trepat held one pass each. Those squads consisted mostly of Gravelfist-barbarians, but were supported by druids and sorcerers as well. After a while, though, their numbers were getting smaller and smaller...

Well, first I would like to thank you for your comments. It is like Lrathbun said: there is a special attraction to being an active part in shaping a newborn nation. Of course the things that the Amphora trilogy (which I like a lot) are about are very important for the future of Ghelspad. Yet...

Battle for Scorched Rock - part 3 of 4 There was something like a soft laughter in Ben's head before the voice answered:" I am the Warden and I have been here for all eternity. Once, there was a city of orcs on top of this rock up there, but it was destroyed by humans, since even though I was...

Well, no comment on that, but on to the next update instead! :p

Battle of Scorched Rock- part 2 Those Scorchskulls who weren't killed right away tried to save themselves by running away. After all, half of the soldiers and their chieftain were dead before they even knew what was going on. As far as they were concerned, it was impossible that any enemies...

Thanks! :) Anyway, I had been pretty busy lately, however I will be able to post some updates this week, starting with tomorrow.

Battle of Scorched Rock, part 1 In the late morning of the second of Tanot in 152 AV, the Gravelfists crossed the border, entering Scorchskull territory. About tenthousand pairs of hooves and boots trampled down the newly fallen snow and the breath of the warriors and their mounts formed small...

When I introduced Psionics to the players, I basically told them that they can now pick up psionic classes, but that they don't have to. The dragon simply discovered a potential. Back when the characters fought against the slarecian shadow under Mithril, I secretly made saving throws for them...

Plans- part 4 The tribesmen, used to life on the plains, came running towards them at an even and seemingly tireless pace, like a pack of wolves chasing it's prey. Before they had reached them, however, Trepat had already thrown an acid arrow and a lightning bolt at them, dropping down one of...

Plans- part 3 On the next morning, everyone but Niklas was badly hung over. They had celebrated with Donnangar throughout the night, rejoicing that in spite of all adversity they were still alive and well. Torn vaguely remembered that at some point, they all walked through the alleys of Mullis...

Thanks for the encouragement, guys! :)

Plans- part 2 Niklas remembered vividly how the fear had left him just enough for him to speak through clenched teeth:" Curiosity brought us here!" The dragon had nodded with it's gigantic head, and suddenly, the supernatural fear was gone, replaced by the natural awe and respect that a being...

Actually, we are already right in the middle of the final part of the trilogy. :) And here comes the next update:

Glad you guys like it! :) This week I got around to write some updates already, but unfortunately the board was down yesterday. So, when I am back from work tonight, I will post another update. I am still three sessions behind my current game, but I hope that I will be able to catch up.

The Nibelungen are not exactly norse mythology but German mythology. That means that there are some common elements but some elements which sets it apart. For once, by the time it was written down, it was already done so by christians, and hence it is not as "original" as the norse myths, like...

Plans- part 1 They found Donnangar in the backroom of the „Drinking Hog“, seeing that among other things, they shared their taste in inns with the orcleader, since it was their favorite place to stay in Mullis Town as well. The burly chieftain was happy to see them- not only had it been a...

Secrets- part 6 of 6 Like his friends, Torn was stunned: „ Does that mean that Orcs built the Halls of Dunai?“ Ben translated and the Ent answered:“ I don’t know who had built these halls. All I know is that long, long ago one of my ancestors had gotten this forest as his sphere of protection...
