Glad to be of service! I keep wanting to add a bit more of the drama that's present in the fiction of the game, but I'm usually exhausted and want to keep it fresh in my mind. Thanks, it was fun, and the players enjoyed it. Almost as much as they enjoyed eviscerating them. I am a scoundrel and...

My players met the Severed Head tribe before the witches, so they were able to introduce them as "the witches H'andrea". But I don't think anyone realized that was the case until I kept referring to each of them as H'andrea. "H'andrea casts sacred Flame. Now it's H'andrea's turn, and she's going...

Yeah, I kind of feel like if I didn't have the fight take place at the huts, I would still have the H'andreas precast a few Animate Deads to even the playing field. They have a ton of control spells, and the skeletons let them capitalize on it without burning more spell slots.

Session 22: The party closes in on the Handrea's, as Orwin finally arrives. Handrea has warded Handrea, who is acting as the tank, sending magic missiles to almost kill Aripos, who survives with a single hit point. Meanwhile, Handrea is handing out heals to Handrea. Eluriah drops in on the...

Session 21 The party goes into the marshes, and meets the Head Chop tribe, a group of goblins with a well-cared-for guillotine in the middle of their village. Their territory is scattered with poles and skulls. When Aripos sees a alligator skull, he takes it, but jangles some bells. Soon they're...

Session 20 Two weeks go on as the group sets themselves into Seaquen. Tiljann joins the Wayfarer's Cirque, and Eluriah goes to the Theater to make sure they aren't a circus that uses animals in its act. Diashan becomes a devotee of Laurabec's and is helping her establish a pantheistic temple...

Great fight! I'm glad you were able to keep Indomitability mobile and dangerous throughout.

Out of curiosity, is there payoff for the increasingly powerful devils sent after the group? From my skim of the chapter outlines, no, but I could be missing something.

Session 19 The party follows Laurabec to the Lyceum, where the erinys is placed within an amberglass cage constructed by Kiernan, a dwarf who teaches abjuration at the Lyceum. There, they and Laurabec and Simeon question the erinys (named Jezska) about her role. Jezska plays coy, pointing out...

A question for anyone out there, but I have a few questions regarding the motivations of a couple of character throughout the adventure. I don't necessarily need "canon" answers, even just some off-the-wall ideas could be good. I'm more looking for inspiration. (Spoilers obviously)

Vuhl feels like a little treat for the DM. It's fun to roll high and know its not even his final form.

Session 18 The party leaps out of bed, and begins to chase the would-be intruder. Eluriah turns into a spider in order to latch onto the woman if she gets away. Orwin throws a darkness spell to obscure the stairs, but the woman rushes through with no worries. At the bottom of the stairs, Gruz...

This is a group of tables to help facilitate coming up with a few holidays as the group helps to flesh out the game world. Every player (and me) is going to make at least two holidays. Origins Where did this holiday come from? Is its origin Cultural or Racial? Flip a coin (You can also roll...

I'm putting the two sessions at once, so that we're all caught up. Session 16 was the last one before the holidays, and 17 was the most recent. Session 16 The party prepares to be boarded by the elven ship, and Diashan hides her armor. A detachment of five elves boards and immediately begin...

Here's the thing, I named the land Tunda (now Namin) because the map says the mountains between Namin and Shahalesti are the Tunda Mountains. But if I had read the rest of the adventure closer, they're always called the Tundra Mountains. So the map has a typo, I just liked the sound of Tunda...

Session 15 Leaving Sir Quincy Felthuf behind, the knight pulls Gruz aside, and tells him "Those at Seaquen are scoundrels. My lord begged of their help in the Psi Lu affair, and they rebuffed us. You would do best to steer clear of them. And they're lousy with Ragesians these days." A day...

I like this one. I'm planning on running Simeon as a bit more like a Dumbledore-like figure and this might be something he regrets.

A question for anyone else, is there an explanation for why Seaquen didn't help with Lsi Pu? I didn't remember reading an answer (up to chapter 5), and I'm curious if there could be a satisfying answer.

Session 14 The party manages to get meat and furs from the dire wolves that attacked them. Gruz tries to talk to Haddin about his warhammer, and Haddin just says it belonged to his younger brother. Gruz feels awkward, and ducks out of the conversation. They come to the town of Cornerwood, a...

At least in the 5e version, it specifies that Lake Seela is 120 degrees. Not fun, but survivable. I assumed that Nelle has a similar situation at the mouth of the river. I also played it so that Gwenvere's powers used to keep the whole lake cool, but they've wanted so she only keeps her little...
