Chapter 3 - The Chamber of Blood (Part 2) Telkya cried out and loosed a searing bolt of light into the large hobgoblin while Enlishia came forward and plunged her blade into the side of the duergar before her. The dwarf gasped, staggered and collapsed beside his headless companion. Dulvarna...

Chapter 3 - The Chamber of Blood (Part 1) Dulvarna led them back up the steps once the worst of her hurts had been tended and healed, turning right along the landing there until she reached another door. Leaning her sword against her shoulder, she turned the iron ring handle of the door and...

Chapter 2 - The Seven-Pillared Hall (Part 4) Dulvarna raised her blade to parry the high blow from the large goblin but at the last, the morningstar dipped and crashed into her ribs, hurling her back against the wall beside the stairs. From the top of the stairs, Dulvarna dimly heard elven...

Chapter 2 - The Seven-Pillared Hall (Part 3) Dulvarna led them up wide steps and into a large antechamber. If Rendil’s directions were right, this as the Chamber of Eyes, the lair of the Bloodreavers. She looked ahead and saw two fearsome-looking statues of winged demons squatting on either...

Chapter 2 - The Seven-Pillared Hall (Part 2) “We should explore the Hall first,” said Lavren over breakfast as he shoveled a mouthful of meat that he hoped was bacon into his mouth. “Agreed,” said Telkya and Lavren looked at her suspiciously then. Since they had left Winterhaven, the two had...

Chapter 2 - The Seven-Pillared Hall (Part 1) Beyond the side passage, the wide passage into the mountain was dimly lit by green light from copper lanterns. Rendil led them onwards as the passage turned left and then right and then left again while descending steadily into the heart of...

Chapter 1 - Into the Mountain (Part 4) “What is this place?” Dulvarna asked the halfling once they had tended to their wounds and Telkya had checked that the halfling was unhurt. “Pleased to meet you too,” came the answer. “I am Rendil Halfmoon and I live here. This is the Labyrinth, the...

Chapter 1 - Into the Mountain (Part 3) Lavren turned to see if Telkya had been hurt by the shaman’s spell but she was nowhere to be seen. He looked towards the barrels and saw a faint, fading cloud of light motes there, the telltale sign of an eladrin’s teleport. He drew his sword and rushed...

Chapter 1 - Into the Mountain (Part 2) Each of the six drew their weapons or implements of power and together, the group started forward. Dulvarna put down her torch on the floor outside the doors, and with her sword leaning against her shoulder, she pulled open the double doors to the side...

Epilogue - Leaving Winterhaven Lavren looked back towards Winterhaven as they wound their way down the track to the East Way. The spring sunshine was bright and warm but there was still a bite in the cold mountain air and as he shivered he decided the cold was making his mood dark. The small...

Chapter 22 - The Last Enemy (Part 3) Litiraan rushed up the steps on the right to flank the reeling priest. He uttered an incantation and called forth flame from his wand that engulfed Kalarel. Erlmoor prayed as he slashed out with his blade and a burst of white light exploded from the weapon...

Chapter 22 - The Last Enemy (Part 2) At the other end of the chamber, Enlishia darted forward and loosed an arrow into the wight that drove through its throat. The wight lashed out at Erlmoor with a claw but the paladin ducked under the blow and then drove his blade into the belly of the...

Chapter 21 - The End of the Beginning (Part 4) Beyond the priest, Erlmoor’s blade flared brightly as he struck at the warrior before him and drove him back. Enlishia spun on the spot and moved towards the dragonborn, drawing her enemies with her. Litiraan loosed a silver bolt of energy into the...

Chapter 21 - The End of the Beginning (Part 2) When they opened the southern doors, the smell of rotting meat poured from the chamber beyond. Gnawed, partially eaten humanoid corpses were strewn everywhere. Shambling undead figures moved towards the doors as soon as they saw the light from...
