    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    So far, the Vivified Labyrinth is destroying the K.I.A...both literally (at least for one of the company) and psychologically, as it pits friend against friend.

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    AN OFFER YOU CAN’T REFUSE It didn’t take the group long to search Pilts’ ‘palace’ and find a single locked room off the Emperor’s bedroom. The air in the cell was an unpleasant mix of body odor and paint. A lumpy straw mattress lay on the floor in one corner, partially covered by a few...

    JollyDoc's Savage Tide-Updated 10/8!

    I'll let Joachim, Mandi's player respond to 1. As for 2, not sure. Any of my players still have their sheets to post?

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    INTO THE DYING CITY The streets of Korvosa were dull and muted as the six members of the K.I.A. entered the city with their prisoner in tow. It was late afternoon, and the markets were closed. Ordinarily, the avenues would still be bustling with the nightlife of a city that never slept, yet...

    THE AIR LORD’S FAITHFUL A sandy beach extended into the dark maw of a cave entrance on the inner side of the northern arch. Each wave that coursed through the arch was answered with splashing echoes from within the cave as the water frothed and roiled. Deeper in, the cavern narrowed down to a...

    THE FORSAKEN ARCH While the other members of the K.I.A. stayed behind to tend the victims at the Hospice of the Blessed Maiden, Ratbone winged his way across Korvosa in his avian persona. He visited first the Bank of Abadar, quickly summing up for Ishani what had transpired, and then the...

    Indeed there was. Valeris and O'Reginald were eager to rumble, while Kat and RB were more moderate. A couple of times there were calls for initiative, but I used my best DM, "Are you sure?" voice, and calmer heads won out. I think Ramoska would have owned the group, which was why I was in no...

    PAWNS OF THE PALLID PRINCESS It was only after the last of the undead fell that the heroes had a chance to examine their current surroundings…and were overwhelmed with revulsion. Dozens of the living dead lined the walls of the chamber, their rotting faces sneered and broken fingers clawed at...

    They are pretty good. I am increasing the number of unnamed creatures based on them having six characters instead of 4. By the end of tonight, however (they completed 7 Days to Grave tonight), they were in dire straits...Ratbone had 4 hp, Valeris had 5, all casters were out of spells, Herc was...

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    THE HOSPICE OF THE BLESSED MAIDEN The stinging scent of alcohol and medicine flooded the dingy reception room, an odor typical to hospices, morgues, and battlefields. Across from the entrance sat a long wooden desk, beyond which a stained leather curtain covered an open archway, muffling moans...

    Add in Girallon Claws and Evard's Grasping Tentacles, and you have an abomination the likes of which haven't been seen since Demogorgon!!

    Yeah, we hadn't heard that one either. Joachim enlightened us last night.

    THE MASQUERADE Had anyone in Trail’s End been down by the riverside at midnight, they would have beheld a truly strange site: four men, three clad in armor, one woman in Varisian skirts, and a large, six-legged dog, all wading into the water until they completely vanished beneath the surface...

    We played last weekend as well, so hopefully by tomorrow I'll have a new update regarding underwater exploits with the wreck of the Direption, and a masked ball that harkens back to Resident Evil.

    FRAGRANCES Cressida was appalled when she received the report of the undead activity, especially when Michael suggested that the carters might have been under the mental control of the vampires. She promised to send a squad to do a thorough investigation and also to enlist the aid of the...

    THIS WEEK ON K.I.A... Taking a break from killing and violence, the agents investigate a shady perfumery claiming to have found a cure for blood veil. It's immediately obvious that not all is on the up-and-up, but while Katarina goes for the more subtle approach, Valeris, as usual, does things...

    OUTBREAK Ishani was true to his word, and by the next morning, Brienna was cured, though still very weak. Nevertheless, she gave her saviors a tired smile, and Tayce cooked a wonderful meal for them. Ishani did not stay, however, saying that his duties required him back at the Grand Vault...
