I stare hard at nothing for a minute, looking inside myself, my fingers absent-mindedly stroking Lucky's barely substantial fur. I want Lucky by our side during this. My eyes snap back into focus and I turn to Otthor. "If we get up the mountain as quickly as possible, we can prepare the...

Obviously I commit the gobbledeegook that the boy relays to memory. I'll make sure he repeats it to Otthor when he returns from Three Bird and the other cave. When the boy says this to me, I’m a bit shocked. What exactly is this tower? Is the Far Realm actually inside? Is it a pocket...

As I take in the padlocked cages and the tortured faces within, I look for keys either haphazardly dropped on the table or hung on the wall. I really don't want to go back outside and deal with the deep freeze anymore than I have to as my aching bones are beginning to thaw. I'm hoping that...

I'll sheathe my weapons, put my own cowl over my head, pull my cloak tight and lean into Rawr's warmth. Defy Danger (Con) 5, 4 + 1 (+ 1 Cold Amulet) = 11 Together, we'll follow Otthor's magically imbued blade, watching him give full weight to his ire. I feel the same way but he has shown a...

The massive tentacle is bearing down on me as I hear Otthor's call to action. I have little time to react. I sheathe my short sword on my belt and reach for Winter's Covenant from my back as I dive, tuck, and roll out of the way of the tentacle's effort to pummel me. Defy Danger (Dex) 6, 1 +...

Alright, remember earlier when this thing happened: I said I'd remember that. Well, I'm remembering it. Obviously, Pisaethces is the Far Realm patron of this cult. Otthor and Averandox uncovered the prophecy that an Elder One is going to be unleashed on this world today through a willing...

The world goes eerily quiet for a moment. The crunch of the mens' hurried footfalls on the snow, the growl of the dogs and Three Bird's answer all fade to nothingness. I hear only the wind and Otthor's invocation of our ancient elven expression at the haunting reality of further bloodshed. I...

With the myrmidon being pressed hard by Exel and Xanob, Rawr, Lucky and I flank him, again like a pack of raptors taking down large game sufficient to feed the entire pack. Hack and Slash (Dex) 5, 3 + 3 = 11 d8 + 1d4 (VS) + 3 (Rawr). 2 + 3 + 3 - 2 armor = 6 damage. Dead. My feet are...

My chest heaves as I try to steady my breath. My muscles in my arms, legs and ribs ache with fatigue and the toll of all the impacts and abrasions of the climbing, the falling, and the fighting. Understanding the dire consequences if the Warlock gets some distance up the debris pile and...

How far down are they from my sniper's nest? I'm picturing somewhere around 50 - 60 feet? Is the slope here sheer like above or is this less so? Maybe icy? I'm thinking about maybe pulling a Legolas here. Oh and is Lucky down there with Rawr? Perfect. Legolas time. With Rawr engaged...

This situation isn’t sustainable. At some point here something is going to go wrong and I’m going to take a tumble down this cliff face. When the heavy winds of winter scour the cliff face and threaten to take me from it, I throw my bow over my shoulder and replace the staff on my pack. I...

I've got another idea. I swiftly grab Covenant of Winter from my back with my free hand and call upon the elemental forces of winter. "Deepest winds of winter, heed my call!" Covenant of Winter (Con) 6, 1 + 1 = 8 On a 7-9, you pay winter's price and choose 1. * Rend with ice and sleet. *...

A 40 foot descent to safety and a sniper's nest with cover would be nice, but that would take a fair bit of time, would it not? I'd be out of the fight for too long. Relying on my agility and balance, I dart along the dangerously narrowing ledge, out of the Warlock's spell cloud and to another...

The two warlocks have retreated to a defensive position on top of the heap of ice, snow and rock, right? Assuming the warlocks use their staffs with the Far Realm fetishes on the end to channel their spells, the warlock we captured did after-all, I want to pick off the warlock conjuring the...

For a very brief moment I consider trying to get my bow off my back, an arrow strung, and somehow get a shot off to scare away the cubs from setting off the inevitable calamity. I quickly come to my senses. I have to get down fast and get clear of this nature's wrath that is about to set down...

I take a deep, steadying breath and watch my frozen exhale dissipate. My adrenaline is pumping. Hand climbing on deadly faces has always exhilarated me, this one probably more than any other given the gravity of the stakes. If I lose a handhold...if a fissure bearing the weight of my foot...

With the hounds and huntsman traversing the trail the cuts through the middle of the snowy courtyard, I’m going to have to find an alternative route to climb the face. I can’t afford to trudge through the knee-dip or hip-deep snow. That would give me away to my enemies. I need to spot the...

This all happens after whatever occurs with Three Bird and the men of his clan, if anything... Also, the below is assuming that Lucky can come with me up top. As a spirit, is he basically insubstantial or incorporeal and capable of masking his presence from others or manifesting at will? Or...

End of Session * Bonds – 2 bonds resolved so 2 xp: “Otthor does not understand the wilds of this place, so I will teach him.” I have taught Otthor many things about the frozen wilderness of this place. He has learned of the flora, the fauna, the dangers and the beauty. Under my tutelage, he...

With the understanding that Lucky is tormenting himself and will forever do so if the loop is not broken, I throw my head back and deliver a moralizing, familiar howl. "Lucky, do not cower! Come to me! This nightmare is of your own doing my friend! We will banish it together so you may...
