At Aerikoth’s offer, Rahnee was enchanted with a spell of invisibility to allow her to more securely scout the bandit camp. Jokull told her that the next group of sentries would probably be shouting distance away from the first two they had stumbled on; luckily, the dead ones had not had time to...

A Call for Help Late the following morning of Hammer 4, in response to frantic rapping at the front door of Queron Ulanthar's, the servant Bustable opened it to reveal a wounded Road Patrol mercenary, who stumbled through the entrance. As the mercenary caught his breath, a concerned-looking...

Bustable appeared and announced that dinner was served, just before Queron entered the foyer, accompanied by Janatha in an elegantly attractive gown. As Brok-Tul observed, the girl was hardly recognizable as the same person who had worked in the Gatereach Inn’s kitchen. Blushing at the...

Following some discussion, Aerikoth, Brok-Tul and Veran decided to head into the city themselves and see what could be usefully accomplished. Outside the local Watch Station, Brok-Tul flagged down a helpful local and asked for directions. The citizen, a man by the name of Sevan, told them about...

The morning of Hammer 3, the adventurers gathered in the house foyer for breakfast, with the exception of Aerikoth, who chose to remain in his room to study. Queron’s servant Bustable informed the group that Queron and Janatha had already departed in order to breakfast with a friend of the...

The house they entered appeared both comfortable and rich. The servant departed to fetch Janatha's father, returning shortly and announcing “Queron Ulanthar, Council Member.” With a smile, Queron greeted Janatha and told her it was a pleasant surprise to have her home. A brief introduction of...

A New City At dawn on Hammer 2, Veran rose as was his custom and went off to meditate. The others awoke shortly afterward and joined Losifan in contributing food for breakfast. It took several tries to get Janatha up from her slumber, but once awake she was eagerly looking forward to reaching...

Rahnee smiled as Brok plunked himself down beside her. She answered Losifan’s question: "Oh, no, no family disagreement! Actually . . . " - she leaned forward as if to impart something confidential - ". . . I think they sent me to deliver horses in hopes of persuading me to stay at home and be...

"Since you arrived last, I have the privilege of asking you to start off the evening's tales. I am curious as to what happened on that island you scouted, not to mention how you managed to upset a dragon into attacking the ship on the way back." His lips turned into a merry grin while his eyes...

The Road to Teziir After a dream-filled night, the companions slowly regrouped for breakfast at the Gatereach, where they discussed the road to Teziir and prospects for the Year of Rogue Dragons. While Jandrico went to assist Janatha in finishing her morning chores, the group discussed their...

The High Cleric intended to nurse Melissa slowly back to health, giving him time to try and create a bond with her as well as extract the information they needed in order to find and defeat Ashnakzeroth. Carlin thought that her relatively helpless condition might give him some measure of control...

High Cleric Carlin prepared to begin the ritual to raise Melissa, warning the others that it would likely take much longer and be more onerous than the one undertaken to raise Veran. His words proved true, as the time he spent in the ritual stretched on and he began to show signs of strain...

Seeing the monk coming, Melissa chanted a few words and lightning sprung from her fingertips, lashing its way through the party. As she ran toward her nearest skeletal guardian for protection, Aerikoth summoned a great wolf to his side and the remainder of the party attacked. During the melee...

After arriving in Turnton, the four encountered Jokull at the Traveler's Cheer inn; the former Purple Dragon had accompanied a caravan from Westgate that had just arrived in town. Innkeeper Karl made their rooms ready and Veran, looking pale, went up to his immediately. Aerikoth also retired for...

At the camp, the Sess warrior introduced himself as "Hunt-Good-Bad-Things" and shared the group's fire, speaking in broken Common about some of his clan's legends. One legend referred to "Ashnakzeroth-taglanonik" - meaning (according to the goblin) "It Rise in Dark." As the goblin was speaking...

After returning to the Gatereach guest house and equipping themselves, the companions headed for the road outside South Gate which lead toward Turnton. After some hours' travel, they were attacked by two great wolves in the wooded area near the Glees crossroads. Brok-Tul took several wounds in...

In Search of Ashnakzeroth Later that day, with Jokull still out and Veran having departed to post a message to his monastery, the boy Tabor showed up at the Gatereach guest house with a package for Aerikoth from the mage Gondeth. Aerikoth gave the lad a gold piece for his trouble and turned to...

Departing Reddansyr, the group headed north to the crossroads, then spent a short time searching the area for the trail leading into the Giant's Run. Once on the trail, it was a good twelve hours of travel before they arrived outside the small walled village of Mountaingate. Shivering in the...

After several hours, the group arrived at the Reddansyr crossroads and turned south, soon spotting the town's walls in the distance. At the gates, they were challenged by the local guards and then allowed to pass, having been advised to take themselves and their ailing companion to the Giant's...

Chapter IV: In Search of Ashnakzeroth Journey to the Giant's Run Mountains The morning of Nightal 21 found the somewhat groggy companions having breakfast together at the Gatereach. Aerikoth informed the others that he would not be accompanying them to Thessar's that morning, nor on their...
