Here There Be Monsters Part 2 (Garnham) From the journal of K. Garnham, Seeker translated from the Valossan There was a time, not long ago, when I knew the name, the face and basic biography of every person that I'd killed; the abomination Alden, Mathias Carruthers and Damned Barker. Now I...

Here There Be Monsters Part 2 (Margaret) Dear Diary, What can I say about the Isle of Dread except that it’s, uh… dreadful. Hahaha. I crack me up. Anyway, we finally met some intelligent undead, but I’ll get back to that later. About a week ago, I guess, Dexter died, and Aliosha brought him...

Speaking of which, thanks to some nasty weather here in NH, December's installment of Savage Tide was canceled. We're going to try to make it up by playing twice in January, so expect a double helping of Isle of Dread related madness in a few weeks.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. We only play Savage Tide once a month, so if we miss a game it makes for a LONG break.

Here There Be Monsters Part 1 (Dexter) Dear Mom, A dear friend of mine named Urol wrote this letter for me. He did so even though I've made some tragic errors in judgment lately, because he's kindhearted and didn't like the idea of you worrying about me, not because I threatened him with any...

Here There Be Monsters Part 1 (Garnham) From the journal of K. Garnham Seeker. Translated from the Valossan Some time has passed since my last entry. We have found ourselves on the Isle of Dread, our situations greatly changed by new magics. Five days after escaping Journey's End we...

Sea Wyvern's Wake Part 4 (Garnham) From the journal of K. Garnham, Seeker as translated from the Valossan It's been three days since my last entry. We found ourselves caught in a strange morass of seaweed that stretched out for miles around us, dozens of shipwrecks visible in the...

Sea Wyvern's Wake Part 3 (Garnham) From the journals of K. Garnham, Seeker as translated from the Valossan. I am in prison. The walls are the ocean stretching out to every horizon and my cell the confines of the Bronze Dragon. Less than a week ago a storm caught up the two ships of...

My current group tends to be pretty light on wizards. Our Freeport game went a long time without any full arcane caster. By 14th level the party had six levels of sorcerer and six levels of bard between them. Then a new player brought in a wizard and it completely changed the dynamics of the...

Session 43 Recap (Queg) Queg grunted in surprise as one of the elves approached him. “Um, hello,” the stranger said. “I, uh--well, I gather you’re a ranger, and so am I, and I bet my friends over there”--he gestured vaguely with his drink-- “that I’d come talk to you.” He let out a nervous...

I've always thought that Velendo, from Piratecat's storyhour was a pretty solid concept for a cleric. Let's see if I can find a description...

The Shackled City adventure path came and went before my current gaming group got started. I have poached it for encounters and in fact dropped Lords of Oblivion nearly wholesale into my current campaign. We've considered playing Shackled City as a whole, but I think it's pretty unlikely we'll...

A Letter to Lavinia (Garnham) Lavinia, I have never been accused of being an optimist. The kind of hope needed for that attitude is rare where I come from and is quickly beaten down when it does appear. I have found myself hopeful since leaving Fort Blackwell. While my worse, if wiser, self...

Sea Wyvern's Wake Part 2 (Garnham) From the journal of K. Garnham Seeker translated from the Vallossan Today I witnessed a miracle. A treasure map sold to a rube on the streets of Sasserine actually led to a real treasure. Today the Nixie sent a long boat to the Dragon carrying Lavinia...

The Caerdel Rose (Garnham) Sasserine Eight Months Ago The smithy lay on an unassuming street in the Champions District. Garnham entered through the heavy front door into the weaponsmith's showroom. The walls were covered with common blades of ever shape and description. Furthest from the door...

No, you're right. Good catch.

Campaign Connections I have described this campaign as something of a sequel to the Swashbuckling in Freeport campaign. One might reasonably ask how the two are linked. So for the benefit of our readers I’ll try to call out those links when they appear. The players are responsible for many...

Garnham Goes Out on a Limb There was a bustle of activity aboard the Blue Nixie. The sun had risen a short while ago and the best tide would be an hour from now. Garnham came on board and asked to see Lady Vanderboren. It was early, but he suspected that she would be awake by now. Half a dozen...

Sea Wyvern's Wake Part 1 (Dexter) Dexter and Urol the gnomish navigator sat on opposite sides of the barrel of coconuts they were using for a table, playing dominoes. "So the captain is so mean to me because of something some other gnomes did to her and her husband a long time ago??" "That's...

Reincarnation Musings (Garnham) From the journal of K. Garnham Seeker translated from the Valossan. While we were getting our preparations made for the trip to Farshore Dexter, Maggie and I were approached by Elyosha with an interesting proposal. She believes that she is fairly close to a...
