That was my thought at the time. Jaylissa and Lore were 8th level. Valadan and the monk were 7th. The entire ambush was to let the party relieve some frustration and provide a prisoner for interrogation. So the party takes the captured Valadan back to the Library (in Corlean) and makes him...

Enemies and Allies Lore (not his real name) sat alone downstairs, appearing to be quietly reading, but in reality trying to patiently wait for news from Geoffrey. The boy was already late and the sorceror was beginning to wonder if this was a sign to move on. He had confidence in the boy’s...

Preparations It’s never been really spelled out but I have certain mental images when the characters prepare for an upcoming battle. For Kellron, I see a tall, broad-shoulder man with dark hair. Clad in plate armor he takes care to check each strap and buckle, ensuring the fit is both...

No, Trust Me Apologies for the delay. DnD Online is a pretty cool game though. :heh: Fortunately I was already working on this post... ---- Geoffrey Windemere shifted nervously from foot to foot while keeping an eye on the Modolan warehouse. Things were bad; real bad. Vigorously rubbing his...

Trust Me The central building of the Corlean Library is separated from the main street by a small courtyard. Directly across the street is a small, lightly wooded park. As a matter of course, only students generally wander the courtyard of the Library; general distrust of wizards by the...

Exchanging Tales It was late morning when Jallarzi stepped through the gate from the Valley. Her expression was one of impatience. Looking about the entry she heaved a sigh and went to find her companions. The wizardess found her friends in the Blue Room. The grim looks from the night before...

A few random thoughts... This was spurred from the earlier conversation with the players. I decided to advance the take-over schedule just a bit. As the next post will show it was perhaps a little fast - but it forced the players to make some choices. Their choice wasn't what I expected but it...

A Fire in the Sky This is my 500th post on ENWorld :) At twenty-two, Martin Stonson was one of the youngest serving Ducal Guards in Corlean. His Grace, Duke Hilmaron, drew his guard exclusively from serving soldiers. Martin had distinguished himself up north, showing both good judgement and...

The Wizard in the Bedroom with a Fireball BWUH-WUH-UHMPH! Fireball! Identified Jallarzi’s sub-conscious as her eyes snapped opened at the muffled sound. She had just drifted off to sleep but the familiar sound had wakened the half-elven wizardess for all that the door and walls of the Library...

Reporting Back The day was long, and by the time Kestral made her way back to the comfort of the Library she was ready for a warm bed and blessed sleep. It didn’t take her long to find Jallarzi and the others, in truth because of the door-knocker gave her directions to the kitchen. Over...

Quote: Well, as AsEver pointed out, the intrigue isn't quite mine. This was a high-level take-off on the Speaker in Dreams module. The structure of the module is pretty good and it happened to fit with what I wanted to do. When I settled on using the base structure of the moduel I at first...

Wizard Talk Jallarzi, Jared, and Kellron were quietly occupying themselves in the formal waiting room of the Corlean Library. Today the walls were paneled in a white wood with elven silk tapestries adding a bit of color. The furniture was done in the halfling style, sturdy and overstuffed. One...

Talking to the Man...er Lady Watch-Herald Ladea let loose a great sigh and closed her eyes. Rubbing the bridge of her nose between thumb and forefinger, she leaned back in her chair and wondered if she would have to see an apothecary for the coming headache. Sudden weddings, strange cultists...

Quote: AsEver made the connection almost immediately - by this last session of questioning, as the next update will reveal.

The Council of Wizards A weary-looking Wymeah made her way to the dining hall as Kellron, Jared, and Jallarzi were clearing their dishes. It looked as if the woman had been up all night. In point of fact, she had. Making her way to the chair at the head of the table she sat down and invoked an...

Quote: Yes and no. I was actually thinking about this last night for a dm-problem post for later; but now is okay. I've talked to Kestral's player and she said there was some initial frustration - but that was due to a lack of information. Once the info started coming in, she felt much...

Information is Power Still disguised as Semina, Kestral drifted through the streets of Corlean, making her way from one tavern to another, ducking into inns and gaming halls. Something big was happening, she could feel it; and Grandal Deverex was only a part of it. Grandal was the only puzzle...

The Concerns of Wizards The room was warm despite the outside temperatures, but the cold knot in Master Wymeah’s belly still kept twisting about. The situation was bad. Not grave, not serious, not a cause for some concern; but bad. The little girl that she had been too many decades ago wanted...

Quote: Psychic poison is a great plot device. My inner-child danced when I thought of using it. The players have all thought about putting their mark on the land. Kellron already has Broken Spire Keep and his followers. As for everyone else, we'll see soon enough what they did. I have to...

Psychic poison is one of my favorite effects out of the BoVD. It's evocative of the sink-hole of evil that drives others to madness. That said, there were some things I hand-waved for purposes of the game. The biggest is that I assumed that all the wizards failed their Will saves. The DC would...
