Round 1: Hordes of Ghouls Jovik stands back, looking at his impromptu trip rope. The daggers aren't holding particularly well in the stone cracks he levered them into, but it will have to do. You can hear the footsteps grow louder, the hungry voices rising in taunts against you. And then they...

The stairs end in a limestone cavern. The walls drip with moisture, and swaths of black and dark blue mold grow in spiraling, tangled patterns on the floor, ceiling, and walls. Bits of rubble and broken bones clutter the floor, and a rhythmic sound—as of the breathing of some immense...

You can hear Iesha ahead of you, but she has moved out of sight. A wooden door next to the one you came through has been thrown open by her. Moving in leads to a short corridor that, after 10 feet, stops at another door. This one lies swinging on its hinges, broken by Iesha as she moves...

OOC: I am always of the opinion that if a player utilises his character's strengths in such a way that they alter or offset part of the challenge of an adventure then that means you are using your character well. It is just as valid an action as a fighter using his physical strength to defeat a...

I run a PbP game here on ENWorld, but I haven't played face-to-face in (calculating, calculating ...) 15 years. I would love to continue my PbP game, as it gives me the required flexibility, but I would also jump at the chance to join (or even run) a 3.5 or Pathfinder game in person. The...

Jovik works carefully, with focus and steady fingers, but he can feel that 'thing' at his side. It emanates such a chill, he can feel it biting deep into his fingers as he works at the door. Jovik focuses on his work. This was something he was always good at. For some reason, despite being...

That is a higher intelligence than many of the people I deal with on a day-to-day basis.

OOC: Please see OOC post! I need you all to level up to level 5 as soon as possible (certainly within the next week). More info in the OOC post.

Merry Christmas everyone! And as a Christmas present from me to you - please update your characters to 5th level as soon as possible, please! You are meant to be level 6 before we move on to act 3 (post-mansion), but that is unlikely to happen so I am planning for a short additional sidetrack...

You can hear the press of tiny diseased bodies behind the door, scratching and squealing in hunger and hatred. Ahead you see the corridor turns to the left, and you can hear screams of frustration from Iesha. As you move forward you see a heavy iron door, and while patches of rust mar its face...

Rat Swarms You follow Jokad's lead, moving swiftly after Iesha, trying to ignore the scratching noises. And then the rats break from their cover behind the walls. They pour out by the hundreds, wave after wave crawling over one another's bodies in order to reach you. Their flesh looks diseased...

You follow the swiftly moving undead woman as she walks at speed down the curving stairwell and back to the ground floor. She moves past the large stuffed animal, seeming to hiss at it as she walks close to it. Kael feels the chill again as he moves near, and cannot help himself from keeping...

The horrific form of the woman once again unfolds herself. You can see the hideous crick in her neck where it appears to have been broken, causing her head to slide gently to one side over and over again as she then slowly corrects it. Her back too has angles that suggest broken bones. And yet...

The thin voice whispers out sadly. "That 'meek' nobleman was my husband!"

I DMed Burnt Offerings, and I think my players found it quite a fun adventure. I sure found it fun to DM. It has a great town that my players grew attached to. The goblins were absolutely freaking awesome. The dungeon/fort section could be dull, I guess, except that I played the goblins for...

Her voice is dry and shrill as she answers Danth's question from her crouched, huddled position. As she speaks one long, clawed hand strokes absently at her hair as if comforting herself. "Aldern did this to me. Aldern made me into this hideous thing. How could he do this to me? How can I be so...

The thing rises again, unfolding her long fingers towards Danth as she sways as if blown on the breeze. She flinches against the mirror, seems to recoil from it as if its mere presence burns her. "What is evil? What he did to me was evil! I can smell his fear. I must seek him out. I must punish...

As you all gather at the doorway to the room, the chill rises. You feel a presence rising too. From behind the crates you feel a freezing wind blow towards you, as slowly a form rises. The light cast from your weapons sends a strange green glow into the dark of the room. The woman seems to...

Iesha's Prison Jokad reaches the door a good five yards ahead of the others. He is almost in a rage as he turns the handle and finds the door locked. The unmistakable sound of a sobbing woman can be heard beyond. The big Shoanti places both hands upon the handle and half twists, half tugs the...

I am back! Completely deaf in one ear, and will remain so for a month or so, but feeling a lot better than I did last weekend. Thanks for your patience, you are a good group!
