4th of Charder The next day the party followed Mikek to Garyarch’s encampment. When they got close the party stopped to share spells and potions, preparing for the coming battle. Mikek quickly found the secret entrance to the caverns. He eased open the door and Foleful sent an arcane eye...

After their meal the party requested to meet with Aunty Em and talk to her about the disease. Since Aunty did not live within inner Sanctuary, Kierce reluctantly agreed, but insisted that he, Bip, and another pair from the patrol, Igor the goblin rogue and Chump the orc accompany the party to...

Against the Elves Session 4 Since Zorn was avoiding him, Foleful turned his attention to Kierce, one of the goblins from the patrol that had brought the party to Sanctuary. To the best of Kierce’s knowledge Zorn had created the laws which govern Freetown, but Kierce wasn’t absolutely certain...

The party found themselves alone for a few minutes. During their brief conference they came to several conclusions: No one should ever interrupt Atarax when he is performing. If seems unlikely that Pankwig or any of the regulars at the Hole are responsible for contaminating the beer. More...

Outside, Foleful found Krikara waiting for him. She held a small gallon barrel, which she had taken from the possessions of Solon the cat-demon. She explained that she had detected magic in the beer so she had gotten a sample for Foleful to examine. A few quick object loresight spells, cast...

3rd of Charder In the morning the companions moved on, leaving Doon to work on his newest sculpture, “One Cat, Two Cat, Dead Cat, Chewed Cat.” Foleful lead the party through the maze of tunnels to the center of Freetown. They made their way through the huge central cavern past several goblin...

Foleful has developed a talent for annoying people into submission with his questions. If he could do it in combat we'd be unstoppable. I tend to gloss over his conversations in my write ups because they make my poor little goblin head hurt something fierce. Morrow

Don’t trust ‘em! What kind of heroes show up right after all the heavy lifting is done? (Well, replacement characters, of course, but barring that…) The Spellforge brothers are clearly representatives of unspeakable Eeevil. Morrow

Against the Elves session 3 It had been a long day. The party had attempted to rest after their battle with the cat-demons, but they were in constant fear that Curuscan would return. It had taken considerable magical power to heal all of their wounds and they were all exhausted. Foleful and...

Sir Vek Mormont, an inspiration to necromancers everywhere. Good show. Morrow

That's a good start, but still begs the question: If what a DM wants is "Conan does Of Sound Mind" or "Indiana Jones in the Temple of Elemental Evil," and what he's getting is "Boring Cautions Adventurers Scuttle About," what are some things he can do about it?

It has been brought to my attention that there is no 'a' in kobold. Oops. At least I'm consistent. Session 3 coming soon. The party manages to make it through an entire session without killing anyone. Morrow

I look over this and realize that some characters didn't get much 'screen time' this week. In particular, I didn't manage to work in a single quote from Krikara. Admitedly, she spent most of the session sneaking around and shooting things from the shadows, (or really from the globes of...

2nd of Charder (the month of servitude) The next morning the group shared another meal of stew, and Doon began to usher them toward the door. The cat-demons wanted to stay and look at the sculpture, letting the party go on ahead. Thar supported the idea enthusiastically, seeing a means to...

After some searching Thar and Rhunn found the cave of Doon, the troll sculptor. They had just reached to door when a figure came up behind them in the darkness. It was Krikara. “Krikara!” cried Thar, “I thought you were dead.” The rest of the party, hearing the joyful reunion came forward...

Against the Elves Session 2 Session 2 1st of Charder (the month of servitude). A day after passing the final toll booth, Thar and Rhunn entered Freetown. They entered the cavern system invisibly and quickly discovered several dead kobalds being feasted on by strange, fast moving creatures who...

Last week in the Against the Elves game we had a battle which involved a flying opponent, flying monsters summoned by the party sorceror, a rogue with slippers of spider climb, and a paladin with an airwalking mount. Needless to say, we had a hard time tracking all the vertical movement on a...

Of course those pants may be wet with blood. "Look, its bigger, meaner, and more powerful than we are. Let's kill it!" does not seem to be a tactic that is going to get us very far in the long run. Sorry, no update today. I overestimated the free time I was gong to have this week. The next...

I asked the DM (Forrester) the same thing, and he did a little hand waving, "Don't worry about the alignment, it'll all work out, these aren't the kobalds you're looking for." Maybe he's more of a Blackguard as core class. He does call himself a paladin, though. I don't know. He has...

I don't know. You tell me. From what I've seen, the hardest thing about playing a small humanoid, like a goblin or kobald, is always being the low man on the totem pole. In any group you're unwelcome, overlooked, abused, or seen as food. It doesn't matter how experienced you are, you're...
