Bella's journal Session 36: The Easy Way We bypassed the stronghold with all of our usual diplomacy. Melech’s fey patron, the Maiden of the Moon, had guided us to this fortress, telling us to eliminate her enemies. We attacked immediately and started a siege. It has been difficult and only...

DMs Note: My player’s journal missed one key event that I will fill in here. After being attacked by moon-frenzied werewolves in the valley, they continued on to the far side of the valley. They made their way up a steep mountain trail, and at the end of the trail, half way up the mountainside...

We've had another new addition to the group. This character is an Elf by the name of Ardyn, who happens to be a two weapon fighting ranger. The party currently consists of: Bella (level 14 changeling/rogue/sorcerer) Melek (level 14 tiefling wizard/warlock) Corvin Androsax (level 14...

Melek's Journal- Answers to Questions. After getting onto the backs of the giant eagles we watched for awhile as the entire valley collapsed into earth, pulling with it the whole of the giant army. Oh, I'm sure that there will be a few survivors, but that particular threat is vanquished. One...

The final battle with Volgrum the Titan, in which one of our most beloved heroes perishes. Bella's journal... Session 33: Hero is a synonym for Suicidal Idiot My back rests against the cold stone wall of the cavern. My heart is thundering in my ears as I take deep breaths and try to calm...

The Steading of the Hill Giant King: Melek's journal: Well, as the man who fell off the Giant Eagle said on the way to meeting the ground, "So far, so good". I'm really not at all sure what possessed me to go along on this mission to assassinate an Earth Titan, especially given that it was...

The following sessions begin to integrate some of the story from the Revenge of the Giants adventure- with significant changes to better fit this campaign and my style of dming. PCs Melek: Level 12 tiefling Wizard/Warlock Bjorn: Level 12 human cleric of Thor Bella: Level 13 changeling...

Unfortunately, I have not journal entries for this session. Here’s a brief synopsis: The Pcs spent the game session searching the lower level of Starke’s lair (the one they encountered him on). They found many hidden vaults and chambers where Starke stored various valuable raw materials and...

This is Melek's 3rd journal: You've got to love it when things go pretty much to plan. I just wish that happened more often. We cast the ritual magic that would allow us to operate underwater and approach Starke’s island fortress from polluted waters of the Grimmsburg harbor. As we arrived, we...

This journal picks up where his last one left off. The heroes have returned to Grimmsburg after defeating Skalmed the Troll King. They have discovered tensions high between Victor Starke and Jarl Surtur. In the last session “Starke” (there is some debate among the Pcs as to whether the man even...

DM Note: We had another change in our player line up. Deryl’s player had to leave the game and a new player took her place, so we had to write her out of the story and bring in a new character. After destroying the enchanted, formorian, stone cauldron and thus preventing Skalmed the Trollking...

A journal from Vesna, daughter of Jarl Surtur of Grimmsburg. Over the years, I have traveled far in trade and on errands for my father, and I have always had an adventurous soul; yet even I am home sick after the atrocities I have faced and the wasted places I have visited in the past few...

“Mistress…” It had been a long day. I lie curled up in my tent in an uneasy rest. We are far from home in a cold cavern in the Fey Wild. This was where we finally defeated the Troll King and his stench still permeates the room. “Mistress…” Our exploration of the King’s Throne room had...

The journal's fallen a little behind over the course of the summer, but I now have a number of player journals ready to be posted, so I'll be posting many over the next week or so as I try to get caught up. Bella's Journal: Session 25 – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly After our initial assault...

The next portion of this campaign journal recount the paragon tier of the characters adventures. We've had some new changes to our player roster. The player who was running Derren has unfortunately left us to move out east. The player who is running Vesna has joined us full time and will...

This is lengthy journal by Bella recapping the final session of the heroic tier portion of our campaign, including the battle against the deadly red dragon Rathnir (with a little twist). It begins the morning after the heroes fled from the Androsax manor. That night they holed up under piles of...

Here's a journal from Bella. It takes place directly after the journal I posted above. Session 22: Pain is a Teacher The last thing I remember was sinking into a warm darkness and then there was a bright light. The light hurt to look at, pain coursed through my body. It cleared my addled...

Our campaign has been in a bit of flux over the past month, and the players are a little behind in their journals. Here's one of my own to help get things caught up. Having rescued Briannah from being sacrificed to the Slumberer by the Cult of the Elemental Eye, the heroes found themselves back...

A journal from Bella. Session 21 - Heart of Ice and Darkness With a sharp intake of breath I awaken. The room is freezing, far too cold for September. In horror I realize that I can see my breath clouding in front of me. I panic and leap from my bed my thoughts transforming my nightclothes...

Bjorn's Journal: It is with heavy heart that I put quill to parchment, for Torfinn is truly gone. Let me recount from the beginning. We had just killed Kisanth and learned that Brianna had been taken in the direction of the ogrefist hills most likely to the old temple we had earlier explored...
