Session 231, Part Two - Kinava Monastery Kinava Monastery A few hours' flight – the discs were manoeuvrable but not swift – took them through the asteroid fields of Urim (where they saw the giant native worms moving gracefully from crater to crater) and to the edge of the plane of...

Session 231, Part One - Half A Hundred Years of Solitude “If safety is in our power to grant, it is yours,” Korrigan replied. Calily thanked him, and half an hour later she jogged into view, wearing loose-fitting sand-brown clothes, hooded and carrying a staff. When close enough to make...

Session 230, Part Three - Strange New Worlds Strange New Worlds The Coaltongue was crippled, laying on its side. Alongside it was a scorched, dead vaknid – killed by the Tyrant’s Eye. Admiral Smith welcomed them on board and they quickly established that no one had seen Rock, Sly or any...

Session 230, Part Two - The Not-So-Nice Spiders The Not-So-Nice Spiders As the monstrous spiders crawled up from below, the whining from the web vortices became a deep growl, and in this manner, the Voice of Rot spoke to them: “What have my precious little vaknids found for me? Ah, I witness...

Session 230, Part One - Motes of Gold Motes of Gold When they awoke, their circumstances were bizarrely different. Wind whistled and whined around them. Each unit member found themselves stretched out on a rock, alone, and only as they began to pick themselves up did some of them...

It's quite understandable. You've waited almost eight years for that particular bucket to fall on my players' heads. And I worked very hard to have it fall right at the end of the session, so I'm glad you appreciated the comic timing.

Session 229, Part Three - Cracked Shell Cracked Shell Before anyone had time to start making plans for a rescue, a roar and flash of light came from outside the palace. “Constables,” said Rock Rackus, with awkward solemnity, pointing out of a window , “Is that an asteroid I do spy?”...

Copperhat the Headless is back on the loose!

Session 229, Part Two - Thistle Palace Thistle Palace They chose the very far northeast corner of the palace to enter, in the hopes of finding some fey holding out in the bunker. Leon teleported them down there, leaving the Coaltongue airborne, then he got them into the palace with a...

Session 229, Part One - Silent Cavalry Silent Cavalry The next few moments were even more desperate: Gupta succumbed to the dominion of the Star Marshall and began to disrobe; the enslaved mantis-creatures created insane illusions of praying statuary that prevented the unit from seeing...

Session 228, Part Two - Aurum Treasure Aurum Treasure Admiral Smith gave orders for the ship to proceed at full speed towards the enemy vessel. While they passed over the legion below, they couldn’t resist harrying them from above. Uru opened the bomb-bay doors, clambered into the...

You'll find most of it comes from the original adventure, but you're welcome to use anything you like. I like that idea. It's a subtlety I may pinch if need arises. That's a fabulous map, thanks. Sadly, I'm just a few weeks behind with these reports, and we ran the session with the...

I do like to squeeze maximum value out of the material. Also, this new mask makes Quratulain look like the Terminator.

Session 228, Part One - Legion’s Initiative Legion’s Initiative For countless aeons the pit fiend Brhan Kinoro had wrought chaos and destruction across the multiverse, even before he was pressed into the service of the Golden Legion. In his case, the servitude was not onerous, for his duties...

Session 227, Part Two - Through a Glass, Darkly Through a Glass, Darkly Here in the Bleak Gate, Cauldron Hill had not been eroded. An incongruous fire now blazed on one side of its saddle-like peak; on the other they could see three figures. Not wishing to alarm Rock and his friends by...

DM's Notes This section of the adventure, dealing with the tempestuous journey to the Gyre, was hugely enjoyed by the players, which came as a pleasant surprise to be me. I had thought it would play out as a bit of a grind, but it was challenging and exciting to the point where, during the...

Session 227, Part One Turning, turning… To the outside observer, to crowds gathered at the foot of the hill watching their departure, the Coaltongue behaved in much the same way as Weary Enid’s whale had done when the Gyre reached its zenith: moved suddenly upwards, impossibly fast, and then...

Session 226, Part Four After the council meeting, Quratulain withdrew completely. She did not take up her normal place by the king’s side, as his (and Kai’s) constant guardian. When she was absent in the past, there was always a good reason. A hunch (and a couple of prompts from Kai) sent...

Session 226, Part Three - Wrapping Things Up How long would all of this take? Weeks? Months? It seemed like attuning with planes would take the longest time. Kai whispered in his dad’s ear that he thought he would be able to help speed things up, and Korrigan realised that Kai had a natural...

Session 226, Part Two - Kickstarter Kickstarter Over lunch they heard rumours. Across Lanjyr, huge numbers of snakeskins were being found, all white and hollow. Snakes were dying en masse by constantly shedding and reshedding their skin until muscle and bone became visible. Stover Delft (now...
