Before departing Seaquen, the team cleric decides to try and contact his parents, whom he hasn't seen since early childhood... the Sending spell makes contact, but the response seems chilling: every word they exchange puts BOTH lives in danger, so don't try to contact again. Together, the...

Finding Nathan Lowduke isn't hard... after inquiring at the tavern he uses as a home base, he comes out to welcome Hadden and one disguised hero, while the others secure a horse-and-carriage for a timely getaway. After a brief conversation, a quick Dominate Person convinces Lowduke to accompany...

Seaquen is covered in debris cast about from the storm. The refugee camps have been devastated, as almost every haphazardly built structure was annihilated or carried away. Thankfully, emergency shelters built by the Lyre of Fabrication helped to create emergency homes for the displaced. The...

So the current set I'm thinking about... King Alric Steppengard (good anglo-saxon sounding name) Lord Onyx Dashgoban (a stone reference) Lady Lydia Dené (in honor of the module author) Duke Michael Gallo (traditional name) Lord Angus Iz (stalwart and hearty name) Lord Galvan Megadon (Megatron...

And just as a fun exercise, I also designed national & regional flags for Dassen, complete with what the individual details of each flag mean...

I'm trying to make the nobles of Dassen a bit more fleshed out, giving them more than just the family name of their lands. I'm not sure if there's already anything in the modules giving them names, but wanted to ask for ideas or suggestions for the lineup. So far I have... King Alric...

(peeks in to see if there've been any updates...)

As the storm raged on, the fight against Lee Sidoneth began to turn to the heroes' favor. As his gargoyles crumbled, and Lula was slain in the waves, an arrow spelled his end; his dying words, however, called upon his master to let the storm finish his task! The storm suddenly gained...

Regarding the long rest... Rhuarc is basically powerless against magical shielding, and has only one viable way to affect the party, should they decide to use the Tiny Hut: summoning a Tragedy, which could conceivably phase into the ground then up underneath the dome, depending on how you...

Seeking ways to pass time in Seaquen, the team splits up to tackle individual goals. While the Aasimar Paladin seeks the advice of Laurabec Adelsburg regarding the unsettling revelation of his apparent destiny, he finds few answers, but perhaps some solace in the fact that he can still choose...

Carefully inspecting the pyromancer's tomb, they find that the lava had dissipated, leaving them with a recognizably dangerous challenge. Slowly, they begin to notice variations in the glowing red runes surrounding the doorway, hinting at a possible clue to the puzzle. Methodically, they weed...

Not that I'd incorporate it, but ...maybe there's an "escape trigger" build into the Teleportation Beacon? Something that has a particular command phrase (which could be discovered among notes in Damius' bedroom), that explicitly 'ports someone who touches it directly up to the surface, without...

I was under the impression that was indeed Vorax-Hûl from Chapter 9; it would make sense that the dragon which helped Ragesia conquer Gate Pass would take up residence in the clock tower. As far as the "bat-like wings" phrase, I think that was simply to impress upon the players the sheer...

I think that, for my live group, I'm going to make a few changes. Ragesian troops will continue fighting, even unto death, so long as the Inquisitor is actively leading them. HOWEVER... ...Inquisitor Damius will retreat once he reaches roughly 1/3 of his standard health. His intention is not...

The fight turns quickly, as a divided squad of troops finds itself unable to turn on their enemies effectively. The Inquisitor tries to mount a defense, but ends up wasting more time dispelling troublesome effects than actually advancing his cause, and in the end, for all his magical prowess...

As the skeletons awaken, the team Cleric moves into position, and firmly REBUKES about half of them. Seeing a true threat, the Skeletons converge on the cleric, nearly cutting him down. The remaining creatures try to swarm, but have difficulties moving through the deep water, and after some...

Ah, got it. I was only looking in the Chapter 12 module, and couldn't find anything.

Aurana is a powerful NPC in the late chapters of War of the Burning Sky, whose allegiances are... questionable, at best. When looking at her stat block in the 5e release, though, I see she has a pair of custom high-level spells... without any description attached to them. What are the spell...

Entering the flooded prison, the squad attracts the attention of a pair of Chuul, bizarre aquatic beings that try to drag victims deeper into the facility. Caught off guard, they suffer some significant injuries before dispatching the bizarre beings. Some casual investigation uncovers a...
