Session 35 [cont'd] Overnight, the Thieves’ Guild burglarizes the inn. The two people who were sent got caught and arrested. Kit leaves them to stew over night, then has someone untraceable bail them out. Report from the Spicelands: their forward scouts have met the gray elves and the Forest...

Since the first post was so short, here's an extra long one to compensate. Session 2 (4/11/2020) One day out from Ravenskrag, camped over night. 5 more days to Tarkenia. Skard 29 Next day travel is uneventful. The following night, it sounds like a human child yowling, maybe 300 meters out...

[Session 35, cont'd] Meanwhile, Dame Brionna gathers up a stack of reports from the Privy Secretary’s office. The Master: I didn’t want to ask around, because that could make someone go looking. So I’ve been keeping a watch, and I reassigned some of the least reliable to other warehouses. Dame...

Session 2 (cont'd) Elyn’s ferret also finds the camp. It’s a fairly standard military camp, in the lee of a hill to conceal it. It’s a fairly standard lay-out. There are some wounded in the camp, so it’s more like 25 total, but no clerics, so the wounded are just recovering with field...

Session 33 (February 12, 2008) Missing. This is the first of a group of notes from 2008 that appear to have been permanently lost when I switched computers. I was able to recover most of the notes from this period, but not these. There are a total of about 5 missing sessions. Session 34...

I've updated the first post in this thread with links to all of the Aphonion storyhours. Two are discontinued, fully written out storyhours; three are currently active, notes only storyhours like this one.

Session 32 (Cont'd) Sir Jennings and Dame Brionna move off to a drawing room. “He is a remarkable specimen. He was ready to defend his mother to the death. I underestimated Sir Derrick-- he is a strong commander, but he was able to negotiate better than I expected. He was gracious in victory...

This is the storyhour for a children's D&D game. It's set in the same world as the Archducal Council storyhour and the Spice Lands storyhour, but both of those take place on the continent of Drucien, while this game is set on the continent of Zestqua. This is in the same general area as the...

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Baron Opal! ------- Session 32 (cont'd) We set up a meeting with the illithid ambassador. The hostage train arrives. We move them into the palace. We set up a reception for the afternoon. We talk about what to do with the prisoner (from context, who attacked the...

The DM who runs the game from the Aphonion Tales story hour is now running games for two groups of kids. I take notes for the groups, and later on I started playing a sort of party NPC with each of them as well. This group is a group of teens and tweens. I'm going to post the notes here as a...

I've decided to post the notes in a new thread, available at Aphonion Tales: The Archducal Council -- Unedited notes (posts MWF, most recent 3/22/21). That way I can indicate when new updates are posted in the thread title. If you want to keep following the story, you should go to that thread.

About a decade ago, I wrote a storyhour of a long-running D&D campaign. I wrote up storyhours for roughly the first 31 sessions of the campaign. I then ran out of time, largely for professional reasons, to keep writing up the storyhours. But the campaign continued, and I kept notes on the...

Session 32 (January 29, 2008) Military briefing: Different orkish horde about to attack Caldra itself. Caldra is unwalled. This is the Horde of the Clawed Foot. They vanished at the beginning of the invasion, after defeating a regiment of militia. They appear to have hidden in the swamps...

So, the bad news is that I've concluded that there is no possible way I'm going to return to writing this storyhour as a real storyhour--I have too many obligations to be able to invest the amount of time that that would take. But the good news is that I keep notes for each of the sessions as...
