    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Once we entered, I could see that there in addition to the pallets there were also arms racks with various weapons as well as several exits; finally, towards the far wall, there was another open vent which John was dealing with. Again, he managed to find the valve and close it. As previously...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    The rest of the day passed so quickly, I scarcely noticed the passage of time. The magic formula I was attempting to write down was difficult and at the absolute limit of my knowledge. It had to do with weapons; it was an idea I had while watching Victor fight so efficiently with that huge...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    I did not sleep well that night. I kept expecting to be attacked by another Ragesian agent, entity, creature or whatever. Hopefully, this would be the last night that we would have the case with the secret documents in our possession. Tomorrow, we would hand it over to Simeon and I hoped that...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    We were now obviously getting closer to the city. The trail was getting wider and looked even more used. We could see some more figures in the distance. As we approached, a ragged half orc approached us: “Buy your boat off you? A hundred copper?” We looked at him. He looked half starved...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As I woke up, I could hear strange, compelling, eerie singing which suggested I look at the water and then go swimming. I shrugged off this strange compulsion and stood up to see what was happening. Victor had already reacted and had joined Longhelim at the edge of our island, both looking...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    After what we had achieved in the Forest, there were a couple of days in which we basked in the euphoria of our accomplishments. I think I became a little tiresome as I asked so many questions about what everyone felt about their achievements, how they would impact the Forest, what they thought...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Ah, I see the advantage. Better play due to possible ridicule; and of course the players can also remember the details of games. In our case, it was pretty much self-preservation. Our group meets fairly irregularly (thereby the rather bad play on words - The Gate Pass Irregulars) and we can...

    Thank you. You have four SHs going at the same time? How on earth do you manage that? My hat is off to you.

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    After consultation among the team, Crystin and Torrent decided to stay with the Seelah and we headed to Gwenvere’s reputed abode, a small pool some distance away. It was also said that she was attracted by the sacrifice of small burning animals. We managed to arrive at the pool without meeting...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Having slept peacefully during the night, the next day we decided to follow the river upstream. A map we had found in the Tower showed the river flowing from its source, a lake. The scale suggested that it was about a day’s travel away. We were going to retrace the steps outlined in Bhurisrava’s...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Thank you for your comment. Yes, Tuesday is the day I plan to put up instalments as long as I have them for this campaign. We don't play every week so at some point I will run out and they may become a little more haphazard but that is in the future. In the meantime, please find the next...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    We continued down the road; as previously, the flames seemed to dim slightly as we passed and then sprang into renewed fury as we left them behind. I had given up trying to find the cause for this unusual occurrence. Too many strange things happened in this forest. It was past logical...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    The next morning, some of our wounds were still bothersome. Torrent, Felix and to a lesser extent, Slippery John managed to heal most of our hurts. The latter surprised me. There were hidden depths to that man. He must have been studying the ways of priests and evinced a talent for divine magic...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Having heard Drudge’s warning we slowed down. Despite his call, I couldn’t see any figures personally; with the above exception, neither could anyone else at this point but then we heard someone blow a horn; obviously some sort of signal. Well, that tore it. Throwing caution to the winds, we...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    No one slept particularly well that night, least of all I. The attack on the city, the panic and distress of the people, the savagery of the Wyvern Knight, the attack of the strange group with red armbands all served to give me a restless night. I dozed fitfully, tossing and turning. Morning...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    It was New Year’s Eve; dark, quiet with snow falling out of the sky. As I scurried on the walkways between the buildings of the Free City of Gate Pass, high above street level, I looked around me, and forced myself to walk slower and with more care on the slippery snow. It would not do for me to...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Hello: This is my first post. Although I have known about this site for some time, I hadn’t begun to look at it in any kind of depth until quite recently when we began a War of the Burning Sky campaign. This in turn led me to this forum, which is an amazing resource. The sheer amount of hours...
