Session 61: First Steps The party finally takes the right tunnel which leads into Castle Korstull. Jorrinova reveals that they heard from their contact that Korstull is full of tiny passageways and service tunnels, perfect for gnomes and halflings to squeeze into. The tunnel leads them to a...

60 cont'd. Post-session thoughts This session felt good because it was the first time in I don't know how long where we were able to begin and finish two separate fights with some roleplay in between. That's largely because I played this thing by the book, and it really helped things out. These...

I will gladly write a recap for you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Session 60: The Outer Defenses The party takes on the soldiers of the Dark Pyre that have burst to life in front of them. The lead skeleton casts a Wall of Fire around them, burning them with dark energies. The party pushes through the wall and is able to take out the soldiers one by one...

Sessions 58 & 59: Back and Off Again The group decides that they don't want to return to the monastery if Su Pli is going to be there, assuming that some sort of treachery will play out due to his involvement with Torrent's transformation. They discuss ways to get out of the Valley of Storms...

Post-Module Thoughts Overall, I definitely agree with those who say that this adventure needs some work. As written, its very linear, to the point where it purposefully makes you backtrack, saying certain things can't happen before the backtrack, for no discernible reason other than giving...

Sessions 56 & 57: The Temple of Wind The party is able to defeat the mantidrake rather quickly, but the ringleader of the ambushing monks is able to escape. The party decides not to pursue. After stitching up their wounds, they continue into the valley. As they travel throught he drizzle and...

Sessions 54 & 55: When Will the Fighting End? The party is able to withstand the wyverns, and in quick succession manage to defeat them, as well as cutting down the retreating wyvern riders. As they begin to regroup, they hear a ringing gong sound from the mountainside above. Through the...

Sessions 52 & 53 - Broken Calm The party makes it to the gates of the monastery, where they are reluctantly let in by two monks, Bailan and Kai Lei. They are afraid that the town of Eresh is cursed. They are led to the Masters of the Two Winds, Su Pli and Su Ilgon. Su Ilgon is covered head to...

Session 51: It's Quiet... Too Quiet Half of the party succumbs to a strange lethargy, with Corban and Aripos able to fight it off. As a test, Corban punches Mishka in the face, and is able to shake her out of it. Aripos gleefully flicks Eluriah the spider, and punches Gwenevere in the face as...

Yeah, I am. Specifically, making Caela the Ragesian collaborator, not Pilus. I like the idea of Pilus as a Ostalin nationalist, who wants Ostalin to come out on top of this conflict, especially if it helps Ragesia's downfall. I'm wondering if a good motivation for Caela is that she also wants...

Session 50(Holy naughty word): Battle in the Pass The party is caught unawares as a wall of fire cuts between them, and arrows suddenly pepper them from above. The source of the flames is a goblin mage with a wicked scar across his neck, mounted atop a menacing worg. The goblin cackles and suddenly...

Sessions 48 & 49: Home and Off Again The party leaves Dassen, but not before Lady Timor meets with them once again. "While our agreement has technically been met, I would still like to take partnership of your future encounters with the Trillith. If you will have her, my aide, Gwenevere will...

It has been almost four months since I last updated this page, and that's because the initial plan of a short break kind of got out of hand. What I expected to be a 2-3 one-shots became a much longer exploration of some other games (plus holidays). Hopefully, we will return to the Burning Sky...

Haha, yeah, even as I was writing it, I was kind of thinking "an even more secreter entrance than the super secret entrance"

I've been thinking about how I would help with this feeling of missing something in the dungeon. In my gamelog, I mentioned how I would probably just add a room where Lee is summoning the storm, and have the fight there. But how could we kind of set up the dungeon exit scenario more? I think I...

I have a satirical ttrpg news site, and I wrote an article loosely based on when the party decided to surrender themselves to the Talon guard.

Session 47: Gold and Glory In the aftermath of the carnage, the former King Steppengard is trussed up, and the lords and ladies of the lands confer on what they must do. Except for Lady Timor, who is up to her elbows in the guts of the trillith alongside our heroes. They determine, through a...

This looks fantastic! I also sized up the theater, but I just enlarged the original map like a chump.
