After a brief conversation, the team decided to take Indomitability up on its offer... at least, until they found something better to do. Proceeding across the bridge, they examined the old watchtower outside the elvish village, then picked the lock on the way in, surprised to discover that the...

In an investigation-heavy episode, the party split up to cover a few topics at once. A crucial book of philosophy was found in the Lyceum student library, and some magical items were ordered (though they wouldn't be completed for about a week's time). Meanwhile, the team searched in vain for...

(to the tune of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues") We came to Dassen's kingdom, to get help fightin' Lesk'; And now we're in a jail cell, in the lovely town of Bresk. Now we just have to convince this... political machine, That we had nothing to do with... the murder of the queen. We'd...

Awakening the next morning, after everyone had strangely vivid dreams (or nightmares), Haddin shocked the crew by accepting the "offer" of safe travel to Seaquen. Though put off by his brusque nature, they accepted, and set off at morning, leaving the farmhouse unlocked... clearly, they would...

After a bit of magical item requisitions from the Lyceum guards, the group completed a bit of research on Seaquen history. It turns out that, in ages past, a mighty pyromancer prepared a tomb for himself here, thanks to a naturally occurring weakening of the veil between the material plane, and...

I guess, I just felt like it wasn't the right place to be "finishing" that character story... plus, while Shaaladel is clearly only an ally of convenience at that point, it's not yet clear that he's an outright antagonist. Having the Solar confront his Warlock about not serving Shaaladel, when...

Some weird ideas I had... The drunk elf's coat itself is sentient, but just sleeping right now. It's actually a trillith named Revelry, with the ability to provide random, semi-real items that might be useful in the moment, similar to a Coat of Useful Items. It just got stuck on alcohol...

In each of my two separate Burning Skies campaigns, I have one player with a backstory elements that I want to help pay off and resolve by the story's end... but I'm having some trouble coming up with organic and natural ways to do so, given the existing flow of the campaign narrative. I...

That was the closest theory to reality. They were also wondering if Ragesia were training rats to bring incendiary devices into the homes, or if a disgruntled refugee druid was using wild shape to slip in and out after starting the fire, etc. They haven't even considered going to the eastern...

Without me suggesting anything, everyone else decided to time-step backwards to the cave, to ensure that the poor soul who died there got at least some degree of a burial. Doing so gave them the Dream Shroud, which the paladin equipped as a cape of sorts. Moving south, they came to the home of...

Rushing to investigate the reported fire, the team found a smoldering building, already attended to by some of South Harbor's residents, while a distraught family waited outside, in the early morning rain. After helping to extinguish the blaze, investigations eventually revealed a number of...

I guess my plan was to paint the separation between Torrent and Lee as her saying, "He's withdrawn, not talking to me, I feel like there's something wrong." And him half-lying, "I do not want her getting drawn into this, so please don't tell her." I may stick to just #2, though... Lee hasn't...

A question... How would you recommend toeing the line between making Lee Sidoneth seem like a threat, while still making him appear likeable and believable as an ally? I'm trying to throw some bait-and-switch tactics in there, including making Shalosha seem more antagonistic than she really is...

The Barbarian soon met his opponent, a freakish mutant orc of some kind, wearing runed armor and carrying a similarly runed axe. As the battle was joined, the pair spared no time charging one another, dealing blow after brutal blow. Though the fight was scheduled to only last until first blood...

If the dream comes after the fight at the farmhouse, but before they enter the fire forest (which, there should be time to do so), they would have the chance to risk adding an extra day to their journey, to "do the right thing" by going back to the cave. Renard will have escaped & fled by then...

Traveling along the mountain pass towards the Innenotdar Forest, the adventuring troup was suddenly (though to be honest, not entirely unexpectedly) beset upon by raiders wearing familiar red armbands. Disgusted at this group's tenacity (and extremely poor judgement), the party turned to...

(Late Update for last week) Shalosha introduced herself, acting vastly superior to everyone else in the room, and laid out her own nation's case for putting them in charge of not only the war effort, but Seaquen itself (for the time being). The uproar and outrage was instantaneous, especially...

I like all of this... there's only two elements I'm not sure about. I don't really want to include the term "princess" so early in her title... I want the group to feel like her credentials are constantly becoming more impressive, before dropping the small detail of, "oh by the way I'm the...

Shalosha hasn't properly introduced herself yet, and I'm considering giving her a preposterous, rambling list of titles (like Percy & Vex from Critical Role), just to make her seem self-important... this is what I have so far: My name is Shalosha... Formal Governor of the Glistening Plains...

Awakening from their nerve-wracking but ultimately peaceful night in the swamp, the heroes debated what to do going forward... return to Seaquen for the meeting at the Lyceum, or press on and try to address the goblin problem? The elected to proceed for now, but not waste too much time. As...
