Session 54 An alluring dragon We go to sleep early. But when Carlyle wakes up after his regular two hours of sleep, he is suddenly grabbed by a shadowy arm and disappears. (He's still wearing that ring of sustenance he got from the Vantrys family all the time) He does manage to...

After jumping through the portal, we fall quite uncomfortably onto a grassy underground. As we open our eyes, we see that Kasvarina is nowhere to be seen and that the atmosphere is...different. There appears to be turmoil around us and we're quite happy to see Andrei opening his eyes and asking...

Epilogue: Tower going Tarot The next thing we sense is the tower shaking violently and we don't know whether Kasvarina's disappearance through the portal or Borne climbing up the structure would be the reason for it. All er know is that the situation is turning more and more dire by...

Never skipping leg day, eh? ;) Truth We continue on our ascent and manage to gain a bit of distance to our pursuers. Problem is that Borne is still advancing steadily and we're not really sure what the Colossus might do once he reaches the tower. But it doesn't take too much time...

...find out the secrets behind... Before we can fully leave the memory behind and properly understand what we just witnessed, the Arc resonates again and conjures the next memory on top of the fading images. The Obscurati trio is meeting again and they appear to be approximately the same...

Session 53 Go all the way to the tower... We leave the small town near Chearge in a seemingly abandoned motor carriage we found on a street. We then discuss means to enter the city and abruptly cancel our plans to sneak in disguised as local people since we don't have any papers to...

Exactly. At this point, we were fully convinced that Triegenes had used the Ritual to ascend as it was the most logical explanation. When we learned the truth later on, he went to full BAMF in our ranking.

Now before we enter the final session of adventure #8, I'd like to take the time to give a quick detour into something that I somehow didn't manage to sweep in properly in over the last recaps as we dealt more with the plot, Kasvarina and the exchange between Auryn and Carlyle: The inner...

Not that I'd publish anything without either Russ or you ;)

Should I ever finish my recaps, write my doctoral thesis and finally buy a home, then I'd really want to write a novelized version of our adventures. But that'd come in German first and be translated later. Maybe in 7 years? :D

Yep, we do that as well and it is satisfying. But if you look at this from another perspective, then it is yet another step towards D&D rules being all combat, no skills ;)

Yep, my pet peeve with D&D is that (depending on edition ofc) you can get really creative in terms of combat and be rewarded for being prepared, using clever tactics etc. On top of combat having good dynamics and being statistically more even by requiring multiple die rolls. And that all of this...

Return to the Lady of the Forked Tongue The Avery Coast Railroad brings us safely to Sid Minos where we all go straight to the pier where we last left for Odiem. A few gold coins buy us a small ship that will bring us to the haunted island, but from the talk of the sailors we get the clue...

you had some cool character portraits hidden somewhere, or am I mistaken? Because I definitely thought "wasn't Korrigan black?" when I saw his portrait :D

We saved her after beating the naughty word out of her and disabling her defense matrix, but the whole Tera-Gradiax-PCs relationship was very different in our campaign since Pemberton was Teraklir's duplicant, she was estranged from her father and Gradiax had a different alias. We didn't marry any NPC...

The bare necessities We return back home with the uneasy sense that something is stirring in the Dreaming, but with the pathways at least partially cut off and with Kasvarina still being our main priority, we see no way of getting more invested with our mirror world. Kasvarina and...

There is a short-ish AP that lets your party accompany the major characters from that Realms-shaking event. It is fun (especially if you are a newbie, like I were, and don't know anything about the Realms), but it can be frustrating as the AP is very railroady and the NPC get to shine more than...

Session 52 The other Fey Stag While we're waiting for King Aodhan's final call on the matter of secrets, we return to Flint and use the spare time to catch up on the case of Ulrik as knowing more about his experiences might be key to helping Andrei. Or more precisely, the progress...

The case of Miller - Part 2 As the city walls of Alais Primos are constantly being watched by attentive guards, we sneak out of the city to use the veil of the night to get to the vision outside of the city. Especially as all the farmers would be fast asleep at this time of the day –...

Oh my, I am a bit late, but a heartfelt Happy Birthday! And now I know that my other half is just 20 days older than you ;)
