Part the One-Hundred Eigth In which: Chi’i demonstrates her spell-casting prowess, Anvil goes around with his shirt off, and Lira is posed with an interesting question. There is a stunned pause. “Tell us what you know of these wizards you have met,” Anvil says. Then, at a sharp look from...

Part the One-Hundred Seventh In which: we find that our mission may have changed. “We meant no offense,” Lira offers politely. “We were told merely that someone would come find us, not that we should stay where we were.” The woman sighs and makes a vague gesture of dismissal with one hand...

Part the One-Hundred Sixth In which: the party talks with the animals, walks with the animals… It’s four days travel to the bottom of the valley. Well, four days travel if you travel with people who have to move on foot. Kirara, in swallow form, soars. The conifers are green, the other...

Hey Arkhandus! Good questions. Weird is certainly the key adjective as far as the Big Not-Evil Rock is concerned. (I don't know if it got mentioned earlier, but that particular item got its name when BadMonkeyJeff announced that he was going to carry it with us. He added it to his...

Oh man, at fourth level our party was tracking a druid Ogre--a side-trek on our main mission to find the four most powerful wizards of the known world--when our party druid noticed we were being followed by a raven. Naturally, we all assumed it was an animal companion or other spy. We were...

Day 21 Three weeks after setting out from the Vale of the Holy Spring, Benedic climbs to the peak of a ridge, and pauses to look down at what lies ahead in satisfaction. As the others join him, they see a valley spreading out before them, carpeted everywhere in rich greens, and divided down...

Day 18 Kiara wakes up the next morning, with the feeling that there’s something in the air. At first, she thinks it’s leftover excitement from the night before, but as the day wears on, the feeling doesn’t go away. She talks to Annika about it. “It’s like… It’s almost like someone is baking...

Day 17 Evening is falling when Benedic abruptly signals for a halt. Faintly on a breeze comes a distinctive clicking noise. Click. C-click. Click click. Click. It sounds vaguely familiar. Click. Click Click. Yep. They’ve definitely heard that sound before. “Shocker lizards?” Lira...

I don't know the "future events" protocol on this thread, and I've kept it fairly obtuse, but spoilered just in case. Well, if S&T haven't had their big day yet, that's bound to be fun... of a sort. Trouble is, I can't see convincing the party that their attendance would be a good idea...

Day 14 Eva and Anvil are sitting second watch, when suddenly the entire sky is illuminated by a massive flash of light to the North. Although it made no noise, the flash was bright enough to wake nearly everyone, and the others are soon roused by the rest of the party. Anvil estimates that it...

Pimp your blog? http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com? That blog? The one where you put articles on screenwriting that get linked in today's issue of CS Weekly? The one with the link to Ladigo Flint? The one with a preview of your comic and the occasional hint and whisper about the Transformers...

Well, my guess is that it was probably cold, and involved a lot of walking through the mountains, and nothing terribly interesting happened. When we played through this game, we were never quite sure where we were going to come up again after the "fade out." Sometimes it was the next day...

vectors of infection Day 11 Lira is awakened in a manner that has become her routine since she started sitting the last watch before dawn. By tiny teeth tugging at her ear and Euro in her head thinking, Come on, Boss. Time to get up. You’re on watch, Boss. Come on! “Okay, okay,” she...

Day 9 As their ninth day in the Ketkath progresses, some of the party notice Benedic periodically dropping back to consult with Reyu, at the back of their column with Paws. By mid-afternoon, it’s obvious even to Eva that a thick bank of clouds is blowing in fast and it’s darker than it should...

Day 7 It’s growing dark. Benedic has gone ahead to scout, as is his custom, while the rest of the group makes camp. As Eva prepares to unroll her bedding for yet another night onto yet another hard and rocky bit of ground, she hears a faint grinding noise. She looks over at Lira. “Did you...

Day 6 It’s times like this, when he’s in the middle of the mountains, in the middle of the night, standing guard with a fourteen-year-old, that Thatch really misses Dennis. He swats at a fly buzzing around his ear. Funny, to have flies out at night. Even funnier, he realizes, when it sounds...

Day 3 Near a waterfall, Lira once again tries to blow the horn that the party took from Sheesak the Druid ogre. Annika had identified it as casting summon nature’s ally IV. Kiara sounded it, and a rhinoceros appeared. Lira hopes that her summoned puppy was merely a fluke. The noise of the...

Part the One-Hundred Fifth or Twenty-One Days in the Ketkath Fade up Title Card: Day One Dissolve to: It’s a clear and sunny day in the Ketkath Mountains. On a ridge above camp, Benedic stands, cloak blowing in the wind. Silhouetted against the sky he cuts quite the dashing figure. At...

The session that plays out over the next few updates was a bit different than our usual games. Figuring that one innovation deserved another, I’ve played with our usual format a little bit, hoping to better capture the feel of the evening. Look for short, frequent posts over the next week...

Part the One-Hundred Fourth In which: the party gains unexpected information from unexpected sources. Searches of the bodies yield several minor potions and scrolls, along with a mirror, wrapped in a leather bundle, which radiates divination and a hint of evocation magic. Fearing it is a...
