[Realms #497] Jumping the Shark Her heart fluttered wildly within her chest as Ledare looked around, trying to make sense of where she was. She was standing on a large flat rock that seemed suspended in an unearthly expanse of silver mists. An enormous ebony figure floated nearby, dominating...

[Realms #496] Perspectives on Problem-Solving Del allowed himself a glance over at the ship laden with trade goods and, as he well knew, the first adventure of a young boy's lifetime. That thought - his own desire to seek out that adventure despite what he knew - made anger flare within him...

[Realms #495] The Way things are Meant to Be The passage of time seemed strange to Maleko as he relived his past, but the elf recalled spending three days as a prisoner of the bandits. During that time, he himself was not treated poorly, though he had not remembered the whack on the head before...

[Realms #494] The Butterfly Effect "The fruit man told me to stay away from his apples," the halfling said with only a moment's pause. He shrugged his small shoulders. "I assumed they were spoiled. Very good of him to tell me. Then I see him yelling after me: 'Put down my oranges you rascal!'...

[Realms #493] Forging the Future Maleko's gaze darted around the clearing. The bandits had secured his small caravan, he saw, leaving him as the last and most valuable loose end to tie up. These rogue's were efficient at their black-hearted business. He had been escorting the caravan...

[Realms #492] Back in the Air Walk "Come back into the shelter," Ledare gestured. "You'll freeze to death out there." She fixed Morier with a concerned look, but snowflakes stuck to her eyelashes, obscuring her vision. She rubbed them away and looked again at Morier, who was staring at her in...

[Realms #491] The Cavern of the Self The group stood looking at the mirrored gate. The single piercing note that the threnodies had invoked still vibrated about in the high-ceilinged chamber, but the moment after Morier stepped through seemed to draw out before them. "So are we gonna follow...

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun concept to play around with, and I had lots of fun with the planning of it too. Though by the time in the campaign that this finally rolled around it was a bit anti-climactic.

[Realms #490] The Gate of Duality That final thought rang in Morier's ears. Until now it had seemed a sometimes overwhelming but nonetheless straightforward task; they had to reunite Dridana's heart and body to stop Aphyx and restore order on the Material. But now that they stood at the...

[Realms #489] The Threnodies "Should we perhaps conclude our mission, then, before seeking Karak?" Maleko asked and Ayremac looked at him incredulous. "It was you who suggested that we side-track to find him in the first place," the half-celestial sputtered. "And you've so quickly changed your...

[Realms #488] What about Karak? They searched long and hard through the contents of K'ree's home, but in the end Morier ended up taking Ocemocik's mercurial greatsword from Ayremac in preference to other lesser items to be found among the bric-a-brac. Ayremac wanted for little and so found...

Well it actually comes to a conclusion rather than ending at some strange random encounter, so that's good, right? It doesn't end where I had actually expected it to, however. In fact it ended with several planned adventures left unexplored. There is the possibility at some point that we'll...

A heads up to any readers Just to let any lurkers know: this game has finally come to an end. So although we're still 20+ posts away from the final installment, it's coming.

[Realms #487] One Last Zinger Cerrakean turned over what looked like a small brazier with the toe of her boot and snorted, "I'll be outside enjoying the local color. I'm not much of one for picking through trash." K'ree gave the hobgoblin a withering look and Cerrakean grinned back. "No...

[Realms #486] Discovering Discord Discord lived up to its name. While the design of the settlement was not as alien-seeming as the githyanki fortress had been, most of the party were immediately put off by the place. Everything seemed to thrum and vibrate, filling the air with a sound at once...

[Realms #485] The Buommans Return "I think we should definitely attend to this thing," Del observed. "If the Retriever's sole purpose was to destroy whatever it was after, I am sure it is trying to report back its failure in that regard." "Actually, a Retriever's sole purpose is to 'retrieve'...

[Realms #484] The Final Messenger It was slower going within the drifting mass of rocks, all it took was Cerrakean suffering a stout blow to the head for them to realize the folly of moving through the unpredictable cloud with haste. The Retriever was only mildly inconvenienced by the stones...

[Realms #483] This Spider's Got a Bite Maleko looked abashed, surprised that he hadn't more quickly put together the retriever's presence and Morier's desire to keep a low profile. "Quickly, let's fall back into the debris and we can tangle it in my Web," the elf suggested, pointing at the...

[Realms #482] Along Came a Spider "You are welcome to join us, Grandfather Plaque," Ayremac told him. "Not that we know where we're going," Ixin added and the construct raised a stony eyebrow. "Oh?" he quipped. "At loose ends are we?" "Something like that," Maleko nodded. "Do you know...

[Realms #481] This is Why We Fight! Stopping for a breath, allowing the many possible stories of Karak to play one last time through his mind before settling on the most hopeful option, Ayremac turned to Fedifensor and lifted the weapon from its display mounts. Holding the blade briefly...
