I am afraid there will be another slight hiatus as the SH has caught up with actual play.

The skyscape had not changed, with the odd crag jutting out of the cloud cover here and there; I was looking at a peculiar configuration of clouds when I noticed that everyone had stopped. This time, it was Victor who was looking at a distant point. Squinting and concentrating, I was finally...

No one else had any inclination to interfere with the coins so we left the whole thing alone; I wasn’t quite sure what would happen if we began to collect the coins but it was probably for the best. We were in a dreamland anyway, so it was unlikely that these coins would stay as gold once we...

I opened my eyes to pain; not just pain from the blows which I had suffered, but something else. I was lying on a bramble bush! And there were a lot more of these all around me! Bushes and small trees with incredibly sharp thorns; not just any old thorns either, but huge dagger like things; or...

We drew back, John keeping the ribbon out of her reach when, quick as a flash, her demeanour changed and she grinned at us naughtily: “You are very clever though. How did you take my ribbon? I haven’t seen anyone do that before.” Rather anxiously, I told her: “Well, we’d love to tell you...

I was looking at him wide-eyed; this was priceless information he was sharing. I couldn’t help but ask: “How do you know all this? Have you been there? Have you seen the dragon? We are all very grateful for your help; is there anything we can do for you in return?” Sagrimar smiled wistfully...

There was an anguished roar from the other as it flew in but then one of the magical walls managed to intersect itself between it and us, simultaneously, slowly shoving us against the stone wall. I think that what it was trying to do was to push and crush us against a hard surface. We all...

As we woke next morning, it was a little strange not to wake up in the midst of an army. Everything seemed very quiet. So, relishing the more tranquil atmosphere, we prepared ourselves and I committed my new spell into my memory for the first time. It seemed to work, firmly lodged there among...

Moment of Prescience; very handy, especially if you combine with the Archmage power: Spell Like Ability

Sometime later, someone entered into my tent. I was concentrating particularly hard so I didn’t glance up and hoped that whoever it was would take the hint and go away but they didn’t; finally, I came to a natural stop and I glanced up to see Diogenes standing in front of me. I jumped up...

We talked further. Although it was only mid afternoon, we were exhausted. Despite this, there were still many things which we had to decide. Victor spoke up; he was usually very quiet but in this, he sounded very determined: “As we discussed before, albeit briefly, the leadership of Gate...

We walked back to the camp; on the way there, I managed to get a few more details of the epic struggle between the two titanic figures of the Coaltongue statue and Salubrious Drudge; this was something that would down in legend, even if Gate Pass ceased to exist as a city. Magic and power of...

The camp seemed surprisingly unruffled; they had suffered some casualties but the priests had the injured well in hand. The soldiers were at their ease; Kiernan and Simeon were in the large command tent, leaning over stack of maps, steaming drinks at their side and discussing the next course of...

Immediately, another wave of trilliths flew out of the ground and entered the statue through its head, its chest and into the Torch. This last faintly flickered into life and with a groaning lurch and a sound of screeching metal, tearing rocks and falling earth, the enormous statue freed itself...

John had disappeared into the crowds; I couldn’t see him; but I did see Felix approaching; that shook me out of my funk and I stopped thinking so morbidly. Longhelim had also spotted him and together with Victor, we approached the priest: “Felix! You’re back!” He just grinned and spoke...

Except that if it was a trap, it was being shut in a very leisurely manner; the three newcomers sauntered between us and Danava and as they did, the figure in the forefront spoke and a drawling, bored tone: “Ah Danava, I knew that it was only a matter of time before you betrayed the Empire. I...

Another break I am afraid, the SH has caught up to actual play.

We all sat down and just stared; I thought about this new development; as I mentioned, there were several aspects to it which made me very uneasy; but I was forced to admit that both Longhelim, Menash and Felix also had very strong points; there had been rumours about Danava’s wavering loyalty...

Or it was, until Gabal cast his next spell! With dread, I recognized the hand movements; there was nothing I could do as the room filled with a set of multi-coloured rays which enveloped everyone! Somehow, Drudge managed to step out of the worst of them while re-loading his bow; the ranger was...

So, with the aid of my spell, I was able to teleport everyone next to the walls of Gabal’s Tower; Drudge flew up to the top of this wall cautiously and then returned quickly: “I couldn’t see anyone in the outside grounds; if there is anyone there, they’re very well hidden and there will be...
