THE TRIALS OF TILAGOS It was on their third day of travel through the darkness of the Doomshroud that the League first began to notice the silence. It had been a gradual thing, which is why the steady decrease in the normal forest sounds did not immediately come to their attention. In fact...

IT AIN’T FANTASY ISLAND Lashonna’s coordinates proved to be very precise, and it was a simple matter for Storm to transport the team first to Calimport, and then to the location where Tilagos was supposed to be. They found themselves on a beachhead, its sands littered with driftwood, and the...

EVERYONE WHO’S ANYONE At dawn on the seventh day of the League’s visit to Starmantle, the members were wakened by a tremendous din. Trumpets sounded across the city, every drum, horn and bell in every place of worship called out to announce that the Day of Great Rejoicing had arrived. The...

TWENTY YEARS OF JOY You are hereby and cordially invited to attend and behold the wonder and beauty of our magnificent ruler on this, the twentieth anniversary of his liberation of our fair city! Your carriage awaits two hours before sundown on the eve of this magnificent event...

I’VE GOT A GOLDEN TICKET The following morning found the League members once more going their separate ways. In the wake of Drasek’s death, Grubber was even more determined to fulfill his promise to Furtopia. The old healer welcomed him, telling him there was much work to be done. Entering...

STARMANTLE Malchor Harpell sat brooding in his study for some time after the members of the League had departed for Starmantle. He had provided them with a detailed painting of the city gates to get their bearings, thus allowing them to teleport en masse. Now, he was deeply troubled. Not...

THE AGE OF WORMS REVEALED Mak’ar stood gazing off into the infinity of the maze, chuckling at his own ingenuity. Those fools may have drawn first blood, but it was the outcome that mattered. He now had all the time he needed to tend his wounds and replenish his defenses. Then he would return...

THE HARBINGER When Faust reappeared in Sruggut’s library, it was to a mix of sullen, cold stares, and uncomfortable downcast eyes. “I’m surprised you came back,” Drasek began without preamble. “I would have thought you would have slithered away with your new friend.” “I probably deserved...

TRAITORS AMONG US As the Wormcaller and trio of Swords continued to advance towards the chamber, Hawk flew up to the ceiling hole, joining Storm and Grubber. With relief, the civilar saw that the goliath seemed to be coming to his senses. At that moment, a large troll hand reached down from...

REGROUP No sooner had Kelvos fallen than the ruins of the room wavered and faded, replaced by a well-equipped torture chamber. Wailing victims strapped to horrific devices hung in the background from chains. In the foreground stood two figures. One was a handsome man dressed in flowing...

ROUND TWO The troll limped slowly down the darkened stairs on the western side of the ziggurat. Blood flowed freely from a gaping wound in his right thigh. The demodand had taken him by surprise, and it had been a miracle he’d escaped with his life. Oddly enough, the laceration was not...

THE SPIRE OF LONG SHADOWS The air was thick with heat, moisture and the cacophonous din of the jungle. Chirping birds, cries of hunting predators and the incessant whir of insects combined to create an exotic song. The plants of the jungle pressed in, a wall of color and vegetation...

THE ROAD TO LONGSADDLE After a much deserved respite in Waterdeep, during which old acquaintances were renewed, wounds were healed, and gold spent, the League set out upon the Long Road for the more than two week journey to Longsaddle, legendary home of the Harpells. Days were spent in...

REVELATIONS Faust stared at the ruined portal, and smiled ruefully. “That sneaky bastard,” he said, shaking his head. In the time between when he had left Moreto and returned the Seal to the others, the true ghoul had apparently smashed the doorway from the other side, trapping the League in...

WINDS OF CHANGE “So you came back, traitor?” Drasek said coldly as the dragonet form of Faust reappeared a safe distance away from the group. It had been no more than a minute since his departure with Moreto. The jeweled eyes of the pseudo-dragon showed no hint of emotion. “I have betrayed...

A HOUSE DIVIDED “Can you believe they actually fell for it?” Shay asked for at least the tenth time in the past ten minutes. “Our story was perfectly plausible,” Giovanni replied, again for at least the tenth time. “You and I stay behind to make sure there are no other ‘visitors’ to this...

WIZARD IN GLASS The campfire popped and crackled behind Hawk as he walked to the mouth of the Whispering Cairn for at least the twentieth time during his watch. Once again, the group had been forced to retreat from the tomb so that Storm and Grubber could replenish their spells, and others...

COMES THE CRUSADER Grim, Hawk, Shay, Giovanni and Storm stood in a loose circle, staring mutely at the tableau before them. Three…almost half their number…lay dead at their feet. It had happened so fast, a matter of moments really. True, the salamander and his elementals also perished, but at...

AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED As Grubber tended Grim’s wounds, Dwilt stepped to the portal, and then turned back to his team mates. “I’ll go first this time. Each of you follow me as quickly as possible. There’s no telling what’s on the other side of this thing.” The former civilar then stepped into...

YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN Daggerford. The members of the League stood on a bluff overlooking the walled town with mixed emotions. For Grubber, Shay, Vladius and Grim it was a homecoming of sorts, albeit a bitter-sweet one. When they had left the village weeks ago (which now seemed like years)...
