Chapter 21 - The Inner Sanctum (Part 5) Beside Lavren, Litiraan raised his wand and loosed a silver bolt followed by another. These found their marks in the demon’s chest and drove it back against the stone platform behind it. Telkya retreated from the demon’s fury and knelt beside Erlmoor. She...

Chapter 21 - The Inner Sanctum (Part 4) The lightning died and though she remained suspended in the air, Dulvarna managed to raise her blade and keep the carnage demon at bay for a few moments. She summoned all her strength and concentrated on the moment that she was sure would come when she...

Little experience of Shadowrun but at a quick glance this looks good. Was also interested to see how you worked the classes as I started pondering a similar D&D 4E conversion for Traveller over the weekend. No idea how this will work yet given lack of magic but will start another thread if this...

Chapter 21 - The Inner Sanctum (Part 3) Dulvarna cried out and rushed at the demon in a wild fury. She slashed her blade across the demon’s side and as it turned to face her, she raised her sword above her head and brought it down in a huge blow. Aecris split open the skull of the carnage...

Chapter 21 - The Inner Sanctum (Part 2) One of the carnage demons leapt down from the ledge to land in front of Dulvarna but she lashed out at it as it jumped and tore a gash along its right thigh with her blade. It landed and turned with a snarl to lash out at her with a backhand but Dulvarna...

Chapter 21 - The Inner Sanctum (Part 1) Erlmoor rushed out of the central chamber and knelt beside Dulvarna, praying fervently to Lathander. He laid a hand on the shoulder of the warrior woman and as divine light glowed in his palm, her eyes opened. Only then did the dragonborn look up and see...

Chapter 20 - Proving Ground (Part 6) Litiraan, Lavren and Erlmoor all covered their faces but Dulvarna was not fast enough. As she breathed in, burning, searing poison tore at her chest and she staggered, her blade faltering in her hands before her. The dragon leapt forward then and swooped...

Chapter 20 - Proving Ground (Part 5) Dulvarna heard Erlmoor’s call and ducked through the portcullis. Looking right, she saw the black, spiked sphere roll around the north-western corner of the circular central corridor and begin to roll down towards her. She rushed across to the southern...

Chapter 20 - Proving Ground (Part 4) Erlmoor roared himself and then rushed after the dragon, rounding the corner and catching up to it as it slowed to turn. He breathed out and sprayed acid upon the hindquarters of the dragon before lashing out with his blade as he prayed to Lathander. His...

Chapter 20 - Proving Ground (Part 3) Dulvarna heard Erlmoor’s shout followed by pained cries from her companions and started towards them. She passed the iron bound doors and saw that they were opening painfully slowly. As she rounded the corner, she saw that Telkya had been thrown to the floor...

Chapter 20 - Proving Ground (Part 2) Enlishia looked over at the iron bound doors beyond the rusted-open portcullis and then lowered her gaze to the chained skeletons on the floor of the chamber. At the very least, the skeletons represented the horrible fate of some unfortunates who had gone...

Chapter 20 - Proving Ground (Part 1) Litiraan woke quickly once Telkya began to use her healing prayer upon him and then she and Lavren used their fey ability to teleport to reach first the platform of the second statue and then the platforms on which rested the hilt and the blade of the knife...

Chapter 19 - Tides of Blood (Part 5) Litiraan turned back to the demon and stabbed out with his sword, driving it into the creature’s hip. The demon snarled and turned, lashing out at the wizard with a clawed hand. He struck Litiraan’s arm above the elbow and spun him back into the wall for a...

Chapter 19 - Tides of Blood (Part 4) Enlishia moved to the edge of the platform by the door and took aim at the farthest statue just as its scourge cracked out again. She heard demonic roars beyond the centre platform but could not decide whether they were roars of defiance or of pain. Slowly...

Chapter 19 - Tides of Blood (Part 3) Dulvarna pushed off the bottom of the blood pool and rose to her feet, spitting out a mouthful of the crimson liquid as she did so. She glanced left towards the platform in the centre of the chamber, looked towards Erlmoor and nodded, and then darted left...

Chapter 19 - Tides of Blood (Part 2) “This looks to be the place we seek,” Erlmoor rumbled as the group stopped before a pair of dark, wooden double doors that faced west. The companions had spoken little since the visit of the quasit and Telkya was determinedly ignoring the efforts of Lavren...

Chapter 19 - Tides of Blood (Part 1) Dulvarna looked over at the others who slept in the former quarters of the gnoll priest and debated whether to wake them. She felt sure that she had heard something from the shrine and anything that appeared there would likely bring trouble upon them but her...

Note for DMs - The Face of Baphomet I felt that this encounter was also deserving of a note to DMs running or likely to run this adventure. The PCs here fell victim quickly to the trapping mirrors close to the door of the chamber and, despite using the escape clause written into the adventure...

Chapter 18 - The Face of Baphomet (Part 6) Telkya answered by raising her voice in a brief prayer. White light engulfed Litiraan and his eyes opened as the wound on his arm was partly healed once more. Erlmoor looked down at the elf and was pleased but then an arrow clattered into the wall...

Chapter 18 - The Face of Baphomet (Part 5) Litiraan looked over at his sister with pride and then looked down at his right arm as the pain of the acid lanced through him again. He thought he could see the white of bone through his ruined flesh and almost swooned at the prospect. Deciding to...
