    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Following the party, we returned to the DeLuxury, and the others stepped from my suite through the portal into a Magnificent Mansion summoned up by Endo. The following morning there was a polite knock at the suite door, and one of the waiting staff passed me a carefully sealed sheet of parchment...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Yeah, sorry. I'm working on it at the moment. Slightly slower than usual as we *just* got our new puppy, and she just chewed her way through the USB cable I rather carelessly left on the floor. Give me an hour or so and I should be done. Just got to the 'plot revelation' stage...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    You're lucky to get that lot. Longest update yet (13 pages of Word text!), and midway through the second installment my laptop decided to shut down! Heart attack time!

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Once again, the tiny form of the Fabler led us to the next location; a massive cylindrical chamber whose centrepiece was a huge mahogany circular table. Ringing the walls were vast canvasses; portraits of Zeech himself engaged in battle, reclining on a throne, hunting, they went on and on; their...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Janga’s teleport spell deposited us instantly in Endo’s luxurious suite, near the attractive tinkling of the jasmine-scented fountain. We spent a short while discussing what we needed to do, and generally agreed that in order to meet Lashonna, we would need an invitation to the celebration being...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    The statue ground towards us, and Flynne (clutching his enchanted sword all the while) began to fire arrow after arrow down into it. Bloody ichor began to spurt from the monster’s wounds. Shrugging us off, Fez waded into the combat, being bitten deeply on the arm before hacking a deep wound...

    Within a heartbeat, we were back in Mage Point. Within an hour, items had been traded and a vast sum of gold and diamonds handed to the leaders of the temple to St Cuthbert and Janga was on his way towards revivification. By the end of the second hour we had filled our pockets with gold from...

    You can say that again. Although you should've seen the faces of the party once we worked out quite how powerful that spellweaver lich was. The moment it cast 'Maze' and Fez vanished, I think we nearly teleported away and left him!

    “Let me ask you,” continued the rotting undead spellweaver. “Did the worm burst forth from the bowels of the city? Has the Rod been found?” We glanced at one another briefly, each of us unwilling to attract the creature’s attention by responding. “Well,” its mocking voice spoke in our minds...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    After a couple of minutes spent nervously hovering over the sea of worms, there was a second series of tell-tale teleport shimmers by our side. Two figures reappeared next to us, but to our shock Maynard seemed to have decided not to rejoin us. In his stead, Manzorian had sent a pair of new...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    I think the general concensus was that as long as there was a 200 HP housecat out there, no commoner would be safe...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Within the room lay a positive nest of books, together with several long stone troughs. Wallowing by the edge of one of these was a bloated worm, some ten feet in length with a grotesque parody of a human head which faced us, breathing raspily through row upon row of jagged tiny teeth. “Urr,”...

    Ran out of time. Will try and get the rest of this episode (which features cameos from Piratecat and KidCthulu) sorted out before we play again on thursday!

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    With Endo agreeing to cover our rear for a while, we were delighted to see the glow of reinforcements arriving by teleport spell. Clearly sent by Manzorian, we introduced ourselves and were introduced in turn to Dokkin Singebeard, a wizard specialising in transformative and destructive magics...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    As you might guess from the lack of a lich-like necromancer hurtling across the room screaming "Miiiiine!" at the end there, Darmanicus missed the last session.

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    As Flynne headed for the unlit entrance, we all noticed something twist in the air above our heads. Looking up, we saw a dark stain blotting the sky. As we tried to work out what it was, the stain spread in an instant to cover the whole sky. In the blink of an eye the peak was restored; its...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Dear grief, is it? I don't know whether to be smug, proud, or just a bit scared! Oh, and with a bit of luck the hiatus should be over shortly. I-Al and Morrus are back from Gencon, I've moved house, and given that I've spread the typing of this over 2 laptops, there's no danger of my...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    As we hacked through the undergrowth and reached the outskirts of the necropolis, I began to hear a faint sound, as though hundreds of voices on the wind were chanting in unison. As I span rapidly on the spot, I began to catch glimpses of figures kneeling and abasing themselves towards the...

    Mage Armour was the shroud, False Life was the breathing, and we'll have to wait for Darmanicus to tell us what that godawful 'turns him into a lich in all but name' spell was - it's from some third party book that Morrus has let him play with!

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Whilst we waited in Mage Point for Cymria to contact us, we spent a lot of time in the taproom of the inn. Whilst there, we encountered a number of interesting and entertaining figures, many of whom were looking to hire a group of skilled adventurers with time on their hands. There was a...
