Chapter 18 - The Face of Baphomet (Part 4) Lavren leapt to his feet and looked left and right. The chamber with the mirrored columns was spread out to his right but all the mirrors had been smashed. Two gnolls stood a short bow-shot away and immediately turned towards the new arrivals. One had...

Chapter 18 - The Face of Baphomet (Part 4) “This is a forlorn hope but I must say it,” said Lavren as he stared into Telkya’s eyes. His keen elven vision picked out every beautiful feature of her slender features and her eyes were pools of deepest blue-green. They sat at the edge of the light...

Chapter 18 - The Face of Baphomet (Part 3) “No way in and no way out,” said Enlishia finally as she finished searching the walls of the prison chamber. “Only those accursed mirrors can bring you here and only the gods know how we could get out.” She looked around at the others but they had...

Chapter 18 - The Face of Baphomet (Part 2) Dulvarna and Erlmoor pulled open the double doors to the chamber and revealed a ten foot wide room. Jet black curtains hung from hooks set into the ceiling, forming a wall ahead of the companions. They had returned to the chamber of blood where they...

Chapter 18 - The Face of Baphomet (Part 1) Telkya looked nervously towards the double doors to the to the west and fingered the blade of her sword as she did so. She disliked watching alone but had insisted on taking her turn as everyone needed as much rest as they could after the battle with...

Note for DMs - The Howling Pillars Thought I would add a quick note here for those who are in the process of running, or are thinking of running this module. This encounter was the first in Thunderspire that for me raised the serious possibility of a TPK. The random element of the pillars...

Chapter 17 - The Howling Pillars (Part 6) Telkya watched as the demons came forward in a tide of red skin and fur. Erlmoor ducked under a flailing claw but then the demon was upon him and its teeth sank into his throat. The dragonborn sank to his knees, gave out one last strangled roar and then...

Chapter 17 - The Howling Pillars (Part 5) Enlishia raised her bow and nocked an arrow as the ape-demon towered over her but she knew that she did not have enough time. A club-like fist swung out and she ducked but when the other fist came in from the left she was too slow. The claws struck her...

Chapter 17 - The Howling Pillars (Part 4) Lavren reeled backwards as the crimson-skinned demon rushed at him and struck him forehand with its clawed hand. He reached out to the wall next to him to steady himself and felt a wave of nausea assail him. He struggled through the urge to vomit and...

Chapter 17 - The Howling Pillars (Part 3) The demon leapt at Enlishia but even as it did, she heard a roar from the pillar behind her and knew what was coming. Another of the crimson-skinned creature burst forth from the flesh there and leapt at the ranger. A claw lashed out and Enlishia...

Chapter 17 - The Howling Pillars (Part 2) Enlishia heard a roar erupt from the pillar behind her and turned just as a demon burst from the closest pillar in the entry chamber. Though it walked on two legs, the creature that emerged seemed more beast than biped. Its arms were too large for its...

Chapter 17 - The Howling Pillars (Part 1) “Nice place,” Lavren remarked, his dark humour slowly returning after the terrors of the night’s sleep. They had returned to the chamber where the blood stained the floor and when the spirits had not appeared, they had turned eastward. Passing though...

Chapter 16 - Baphomet's Shrine (Part 4) Erlmoor held his blade before him as the heat of his surroundings assailed him. He stood on an island of black basalt linked by bridges of the same rock to other islands and between all flowed lava and flame. Sulphur-laden smoke belched from the molten...

Chapter 16 - Baphomet's Shrine (Part 3) Litiraan loosed a silver bolt that flew past the raging demon while Telkya hurled her own golden bolt of divine energy that somehow, also missed the demon.. Lavren hurled another bolt of black, raging energy that struck the terrible creature but it seemed...

Chapter 16 - Baphomet's Shrine (Part 2) Dulvarna raised her blade and leaned it against her left shoulder when she reached the northern door. She paused for a moment and then glanced at each of her companions in turn. When she decided all were ready, she reached out with her right hand and...

Chapter 16 - Baphomet's Shrine (Part 1) Lavren woke to a smiling Telkya leaning over him and despite the pain of his wounds and the dry soreness of his throat, he felt his heart sing. “We prevailed then,” he said as loudly as his torn throat could muster. “Aye, we prevailed,” Telkya answered...

Chapter 15 - Blackfangs (Part 4) Litiraan forward to stand beside Dulvarna then and began to chant a spell while weaving his wand before him. As the incantation reached its climax, he extended his wand and from it poured a curtain of flame that engulfed the hay bales and the gnolls beyond them...

Chapter 15 - Blackfangs (Part 3) Dulvarna ducked right as the gnoll beyond the hay bales loosed another arrow towards her. The shaft flew past her and clattered into the wall uncomfortably close to where Litiraan stood. Dulvarna raised her blade and wove it back and forth before her as the...

Chapter 15 - Blackfangs (Part 2) Lavren turned the bend in the passage and was confronted by thick, wooden double doors identical to the ones led into the chamber to the north. Hoping that these led to the same place, the elf turned the iron handles as softly as he could and gently pulled the...

Chapter 15 - Blackfangs (Part 1) Once the companions had tended to their wounded and Erlmoor had risen unsteadily to his feet, they turned down the southern passage that Telkya and Lavren had explored. They turned aside at the double doors that Telkya had found and once they had readied...
