A quick journal from Derren Dear Corvin, It has been a while since I wrote, but you don’t die and get resurrected every day. Sadly, the details are a little cloudy to me – somewhere deep in Ludvag the Hateful’s trap-haunted tomb, I took a plunge in the black waters where Bjorn fell defending...

Some DM commentary. I had a lot of fun designing the nasty traps for Ludvag's Hateful Halls. It's not that often that I find an excuse to build a Tomb of Horrors style dungeon. I was particularly pleased with the final trap/encounter it was probably one of my favorite encounters that I've...

This is Bjorn's journal- recounting events from sessions 18-19 (The Halls of Ludvag the Hateful) Bjorn's Journal It has been an eventful week and doesn't appear to be letting up, but let me start from the beginning. The day after Bella's and my dinner I was asked to join my companions at Deryl...

This journal details many of the events from game session #19 from Bella's POV. When we left off they were trapped in the deadly halls of Ludvag the Hateful, and Derren has just met his end in a terrible battle with elementals. Session 19 – Naked Ambition Victor, My latest venture with the...

This journal is from Bjorn, but takes place prior to the heroes venturing into the Underdark and getting trapped in the Hateful Halls. We have played another session since Derren's death that takes place in this nasty dungeon and features the most diabolical trap I have ever designed for a...

This is it, from Bella... Session 18: A Death in the Family Derren is dead. With our choice of profession we’ve been extraordinarily lucky that this has not happened sooner. This is especially true for Derren with the haphazard way in which he fights. It has been a long time coming, but we...

I hope to have some journals from our most recent session- session #18 coming up soon. I am pleased to announce that session #18 features our first and long, long overdue PC fatality.

Dear Corvin, The torchlight flickers off the stone flues of the grey halls we are camped in for the night. We travelled northwest of Fallcrest at the request of Kasinth the iron dragon- to aid her kobold minions with some mysterious threat below their middling silver mine. The evening with the...

Session 17: Dungeons and Dragons Dear Victor, I have started settling in with Androsax’s group in Fallcrest. After taking care of a siege involving tribes of orcs we have become local heroes and earned this cities trust. Having befriended the local wizard I am now studying the intricacies...

Session 16: Ambush I am a little concerned about how recent events will affect my standing with the party. It has been a long time since I have met another of my kind and I must admit that most such encounters are unpleasant. Our ability to assume the form of any humanoid and mimic them turns...

Some thoughts by Bjorn Thorskirk, from game session 16 Re-construction of the Temple continues, there have been both advances and set backs. Lord Markelhay has given us additional funding however several tradesmen were scared off by the events of the feast night, and Torfinn's explosion. Lady...

Derren's player was away for our most recent session, so we had Derren take a trip to Grimsburg to go pay a visit to his beaux Briannah Sutursdottr (High Archavist of Skaldsholme library). This is his journal. Dear Deryl, Hope you are well. Mother and father are in good health, and the gold...

A song written by Deryl's player that is circulating the taverns of Fallcrest in refrence to her brother Derren. Beware the man o’ Androsax Beware the man o’ Androsax, Who’s agile ankled and deft o’ sword. Hist’ry made of him a lord? Oh beware the man o’ Androsax. Beware the man o’ Androsax...

A rare journal from the perspective of Torfinn. This journal is mainly flavor and doesn't cover any events that happened during our previous game session. Torfinn and Absalon (Torfinn's newly acquired steed). Torfinn’s eyes stayed locked on the over-cast sky above as he marched through the...

Bella crafts a suite of Impostors armor... I tighten the final strap on my armor and walk up to the mirror eying it critically. Deryl sits on my bed idly playing with her dagger having asked me to help her study it and it’s unique properties. I agreed if only because it bears the mark on my...

A journal from Darren Androsax regarding the events of game session #14 Dear Corvin, Life in the Vale is always an adventure. I write from the light of a cracked lantern under a tree – hopelessly drunk and a little defeated. I have been wandering around town for hours, following an exploration...

Torfinn’s Quiet Reflections... *Stargazing at Odin’s sacked temple in Fallcrest* Why is it that I find such comfort in the night sky? That great darkness filled with a horde of distant treasures that none chained to this world can touch or defile gives me an overwhelming sense of….clarity...

This is Deryl's much more esoteric version of the events that took place during session 13. ….the room is filled with swirling banks of steam and heavily scented with eucalyptus. Deryl languishes in the freshly drawn and heated bath… “We’ll just wash that hair out, shall we, ma’amselle?”...
