Secrets- part 5 of 6 They entered the open maw only to find themselves in what looked like a natural cave, even though it was highly unlikely that a natural cave would survive the millenia in the foot of a volcanoe. It was huge, and the walls and the ceiling were lost in darkness far beyond...

Nightfall, I am currently lagging behind a little in my storyhour and I have only gotten the third part of the trilogy today. This means, you will have to wait a little bit longer until I can continue that. The only other way would have been for me to make up the third part...;) Talix, yeah, he...

Secrets- part 4 of 5 The front room had been prepared for breafast. There was a big oaken table which was covered with freshly baked bread and there was plenty of fruit and vegetable. "Sit down and eat", the keeper announced while waving his arm in an inviting gesture "All provided by the...

Secrets- part 3 With lightning speed, he simoultanously shouted:"Help me!" and dove down to the portcullis, grabbing it's lower bar with both hands. Niklas understood and dove down as well, and both strained against the weight of the portcullis until every vein on their arms and their necks...

Glad to hear you like it! I like them as well, especially if they are not downright deadly. In other words, I always hated traps that meant save vs poison or die. Anyway, the group enjoyed those traps quite a bit, especially since Torn got hit over and over again, like a character in a cartoon...

Secrets- part 2 Behind the curtain, there was a dry and cool corridor that lead them to the middle of the mountain, where it ended abruptly. Instead, it opened into a shaft which lead roughly eighty feet upwards. Ben transformed into his spiderform and scaled up, noticing that shortly before...

Nah, no offense taken. If so, only a little. :p As you will see, this will soon lead to a continuation of my "Orcs of Lede" storyline, so it does have a relevance for my campaign. Anyway, for the following update, I had been using ideas from the book of challenges, so again, credit to those who...

Secrets- Part 1 On the next morning, Kwalish lead them through the ruins. While they were going down to the first chamber, he explained to them that he was actually glad that they had destroyed his constructs: „As you probably have noticed, they have some sort of motivation problems, so that...

Oh, I forgot to mention that they had been faulty to start out with! I used the automatons from the MM2, and they have some sort of a "motivation-problem". Every round, you roll a D20 and if you roll below 11, they don't act! :) So, for an archmage like Kwalish, those can be considered failed...

A clever device- part 4 of 4 The moment the automatons sprang to life, Jan charged forward, his bastardsword raised high over his head. He hacked at one of the hammerers and sparks flew where his sword hit the iron body. Then, however, the automaton swang his giant hammer at him and suddenly...

A clever device- part 3 The pain in his head got worse and worse as he closed in on the complex. First, the humming turned into a throbbing sensation. A few seconds later, this throbbing turned into a hammering pain which soon became the very centre of his being. As he was merely twenty yards...

I basically started out with creating the Keeper of Secrets. An online friend from another board is called that way, and I thought it would be a nifty name for a source of informations. So, once I came up with a raison d'etre for the name and the punishment involves, I was thinking of a way for...

A clever device- part 2 Chel Azatan provided them with the name of the captain who had brought Kwalish to where the archmage had disappeared in the red dephts of the blood sea. This had been over fourty years ago now, but fortunately for them, this captain, a man called Strohman, had even been...

I think it is bad that they didn't include the eroticist in the Shelzar sourcebook. After all, there are some NPCs with levels in that prestige class in the sourcebooks, but all that it says in that book is that one can find it in that players guide- a book that hasn't even been published yet...

Cool! :) I am definetly looking forward to it. The way it looks, I will get around to write another update today, as the group will go out looking for the apparatus of Kwalish.

Thanks. I aim to please. :) And nightfall, you had been unusually quiet lately. Bladebeast got your tongue? ;)

A clever device- part 1 A week later, they stood in front of the gates of Mithril again. In the middle of their journey along the Codrada Corridor, they had been attacked by a pack of proud. The initial onslaught of the lion-centaurs had been rough, and the speed of the beasts allowed no...

A short respite, part 4 of 4 As the arcane powers of the wizard's magic hit him, Torn felt the strength draining out of him. And not only was he feeling weaker, but clumsier, more fatigued and stupider at the same time. Trepat, who came around the corner at the time noticed that he had never...

Glad to see you are still around, Talix! :) Anyway, I would like to mention that I have modelled the beginning and other elements of the current adventure after the story idea "Last Hold of the Fallen" in the Mithril Sourcebook. However, as you will see, I have changed around a lot of things...

A short respite- part 3 Eventually, Kelemis told them that there were complications regarding interpreting the ritual. According to the scholars, it would most likely take all autumm and spring at the very least. „If you want to return to Mithril and the Gravelfist tribe that would be no...
