The Trouble With Rat Women 2 Abadius, 4715 The following day, the young adventurers returned to Brinestump Marsh, following the crude map in hopes of finding some long-forgotten treasure in the old shipwrecks marked on it. As they made their way through the swamp, however, they were overcome...

4715-Heroes Are Born At the Rusty Dragon tavern in the Varisian town of Sandpoint, several old friends and acquaintances gathered. There were the adopted brothers, Yannus Vhiski and Koman Locke, each recently returned home after several years away fighting wars or pursuing fortune and glory...

Dramatis Personae: Boris Ushki (goblin rogue): found as an infant during the late unpleasantness involving the Rise of the Runelords, Boris was taken in and raised by the Desnan priestess Koya Mvashti. He has served in her household as a cook ever since Mazael Cravenlock (aasimar warpriest of...

I need to apologize, loyal readers, but I'm afraid this thread is going on hiatus for the time being. It's getting more and more difficult for me to keep up with it, putting me further and further behind. What I may do is to post periodic summaries of the events transpiring in the AP, so that...

Saventh-Yhi As it turned out, the sorcerer had the other three moonstones in his possession, and in the chamber behind his, a circular grid formed with deep grooves sat in the center of the floor beneath a domed ceiling decorated with crystalline patterns. Four elaborately carved columns stood...

A way forward In the northern section of the ruins rose a tremendous mound of vegetation, barely recognizable as a great, overgrown structure. Yet standing beneath the dripping leaves and vines was a multitiered stone ziggurat of ancient construction. Having sunk into the dark Mwangi soil over...

As always, thanks for your continued readership! And you're right about the ziggurat...observe...

Snakes and Monkies The Bastards moved carefully across the jungle-choked ruins towards two vine-covered mounds that might once have been buildings. Suddenly, a cacophony of hoots and growls came from the trees around them. Soon the cries were picked up some distance away. In the tree branches...

Danse Macabre Several days later the Screaming Jungle was left behind as the river flowed across the Korir Plains. The river widened and became fast and shallow, and the surrounding vegetation consisted of almost entirely of reeds, mangroves, lotuses and other water plants. After travelling a...

Just a note regarding the truly incredible feat Jack pulled off against the shadow demon. First, he had to hit the creatures fairly high armor class. He rolled a crit threat. Then he had to confirm that, which he did. We use Paizo's iCrit and iFumble apps for iPad, so I generated a random...

Demons and Necromancers and Fairies, Oh My! Two days after their encounter with the Mzali, the Bastards entered the Screaming Jungle. The jungle was so named for the hundreds of species of monkeys that lived within its lush canopy, creating an incessant cacophony. Because of the hazards of...

Bushido The dry savannah was like walking across a parched tongue. The constant flock of vultures that circled on the thermals was less than reassuring to the Bastards as they concentrated on simply putting one foot in front of the other. As each hour passed, the number of birds grew larger...

Thank you! We're not going to be gaming for the next two weeks, which should give me time to get caught up on updates (theoretically).

Occupational hazards In what looked to be the beginning of the mine’s main drift, the companions came upon the scattered remnants of a small campsite that lay in a small alcove just above the water line. Rusted and pitting mining equipment lay scattered about, along with several mine carts and...

It's called creative license. Ask Will Shakespeare about it. And she was a barbarian, not a druid...:p

...Ask Questions Later As the Bastards neared the rocky outcropping of Gozreh’s Crest, the sky darkened menacingly and rain began to fall heavily. As Nkechi described, the Crest sat at the very edge of the peninsula, an ominously scarred chunk of dark granite worn into a steep, wave-like shape...

Uprising Once the former castaways, who had, at Arioch’s suggestion, taken to calling themselves the Glorious Bastards, informed Ishirou of their decision to join the Aspis Consortium, they had been immediately contacted by Dargan Etters, the expedition’s leader. He was charismatic, but made it...

Rescue “Now where do you suppose she was going?” Agnar said as he looked towards the ceiling. “There’s a hole up there,” Jack said, “but it’s too small for anything to fit through.” “Unless they were made of vapor,” Arioch mused. Agnar looked at the bloody handprint Yarzoth had left on the...

Thank you, Sir! These are definately a labor of love, but I think they help bring the campaign to life a bit for my players, and encourage them to be more creative with their characters. They're the ones that bring the story to life, and I'm lucky to have such a great group. Hang in there for...

Thank you, Sir. I'm running about two posts behind actual game time, but I actually like it that way. Things that happen now can affect outcomes further down the road, so it allows me to tweak the story a bit. In the next post, the castaways will get rescued, and we'll find out what civilization...
