Resurrection (7th level) restores missing body parts, but Raise Dead (5th level) does not. The way I see it, Dassen is a fairly low magic agricultural and trading power, with most of its magic being concentrated on the nobility, with the military and the Book of the Eight Lands being the main...

I think #2 is a good option, because it doesn't paint things as suspicious, just that things aren't going according to plan. Lee can offer excuses, or potentially offer a sidequest that is really just a waste of time to keep them off his back. However, I think you could potentially work in...

Session 34: The End of the Steppengard Line The party helps the refugees on their way, with Mishka giving them 10 rations to continue their journey. Travel remains swift, and Balan gives them a crash course on Dasseni politics. “We’re on good terms with Lady Timor, because we train her mages...

Session 33: Northward Travels The party collects themselves, and goes to the Lyceum to meet with Simeon. There, they find Kiernan, Katrina, Simeon, and a halfling man that is introduced as Balan Bastrom, a diplomat. Simeon explains that Balan helped negotiate Seaquen’s independence from Dassen...

Session 32: After the Storm In Simeon's office, the group tells him all that happened, Simeon sighs, and nods along as they speak, only occasionally asking a clarifying question. When they're done, he thanks them for their service to Seaquen, and offers them help. "We may be in disarray, but we...

Post Module Thoughts I forgot to do this last session, so here we go! I’d say the highlights were the sheer amount of options for sidequests in the module. Even though I cut basically all of them out, it provided me with a sense of Seaquen that really helped me flesh it out for the players...

Session 0.5 With Chapter 3 wrapping up, and a few players having some scheduling issues, I decided to set up today's session as a check-in on how everyone is feeling, and how to keep the game fun. Things I brought up: Wanting to remove myself further from helping people with their characters...

Session 31: Eye of the Storm The party takes a rest, and explores the rest of the caverns. They find a room with a body, transformed into an elf, and the unsuccessful remaking of the H'andreas' hut and Tidereaver manufacture. Eluriah dumps the cauldron, disgusted witht he actos committed in the...

Session 30: Rivers of Fire The party delves deeper, searching the bodies of the sahuagin, but not finding anything of worth. In a room that might have been full of provisions, they find a hole in the floor with a pulley erected around it. There is a warm glow emanating from the shaft, but before...

Session 29: Into the Pyromancer's Realm The party receives help from Ogoth, who gives them all potions of healing. While waiting for Simeon to divine the center of the storm, they ask Giorgio’s specter some questions. They determine that he was working for the Ragesians for money, and that he...

What happens to the Shahalesti Blockade? I know the storm is meant to deal with them, but obviously Shalosha returns later. Assuming the players stop Seaquen from attacking the fleet. Do they stay around, menacing Seaquen and asking for control? Or doe they limp back to Shahalesti?

Session 28: Evacuation Orwin heals Gruz, who cuts down Giorgio, raising his spirit as a specter. Mishka kills Setales, and sends him to his brother. Eluriah comes running up, and cuts the boat with elf bodies loose. The party searches the bodies, searing themselves in alchemist’s fire, and helps...

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's Jeszka had the dice working against them. I wouldn't worry too much about this. Whenever I've had players Sleep someone, they inevitably surround them, hold their actions until everyone can attack at once, and knock the person out. Unless it's in the...

Session 27 The group decides that they want to go to the play. Though they are in the middle of an investigation, they feel like there are too many moving pieces to make a move yet. Aripos says that if Paradim is at the play, he’ll slip away to investigate his hut. At the play, Gruz goes aside...

Session 26 (Technically last week's, but I was lazy) Shalosha enters a council she was not invited to, and imperiously announces Shahalesti as the only power that can face down Ragesia. She tells the other nathions’ delegates to throw in with Shahalesti, and offers her own hel, by taking...

Last session was a loss due to a combination of Daylight Savings and northern and southern hemisphere mixups! We played Microscope last week, which I've been meaning to teach to the group so that if I'm ever gone they can still play something that doesn't need a GM. Session 25 Eluriah and the...

Session 24 This week's session was a battle royale in the Royale in the ruins. I had had the idea for a PvP session in mind, and the rest of the group was up for it. Aripos, Gruz, and Mishka kept their characters, while both Orwin and Eluriah figured their characters wouldn't be interested in...

Session 23 The party searches through the Handreas, and pulls a number of rings and vials and potions off of them. They see that one of the vials they have is the same as the empty vials that line the shelves of the potion hut. Orwin takes some of the potion to determine what it is later...
