Session 14 The party manages to get meat and furs from the dire wolves that attacked them. Gruz tries to talk to Haddin about his warhammer, and Haddin just says it belonged to his younger brother. Gruz feels awkward, and ducks out of the conversation. They come to the town of Cornerwood, a...

At least in the 5e version, it specifies that Lake Seela is 120 degrees. Not fun, but survivable. I assumed that Nelle has a similar situation at the mouth of the river. I also played it so that Gwenvere's powers used to keep the whole lake cool, but they've wanted so she only keeps her little...

It is known. Spiritual weapon was her saving grace in the Fire Forest.

I've decided I'm going to keep this all on one thread, just for ease's sake. I won't bring chapter one in, but I'm going to rename the sessions accordingly. Session 13 Orwin and Aripos ate some funny seeds, and dream strange dreams. They dream of orcs and goblins and elves dancing around a...

Unnecessary Dassen Changes New Dassen map to go along with my renaming of the Lords and Ladies. Having every noble have the same name as their land felt off, but I liked their names, so I usually renamed the land after a nearby landmark. I also wanted a few more dwarves, and changed a gender or...

This is a super dragon-heavy campaign. Sounds like a great opportunity to have certain trillith drawn to them in RP based on which ideal/attribute they are closer to. I always like magical weapons that don't need the +1. Plus archers are often starved for magic items. On the other hand, you...

So, with thanksgiving and an unexpected cancellation, we're almost caught up to real-time. But no, at the time the next session came around, I was reading the "Monastery" chapter, so I had that on my mind when I actually gave them the vision. I mixed a little history with a little future-sight...

The art I used for the dragon scale token

I'm combining these two into one post, because the Indomitability fight took up a majority of each one. Session 11 The party returns to the Seela Village and tell Tiljann about their plan. Tiljann says she'll do what she can to make sure the Song of Forms goes on. The party inspects their magic...

There are a lot of ways to explore relationships between people who are functionally immortal compared to humans. That sounds super interesting. Yeah, they read Bhurisrava's journal, but pretty much ignored the upriver hints. I think part of this was that our elf player was absent the day they...

Session 10 Tiljann leads the party to Papuvin, the elder Seela who explains that the song they have been hearing is the Song of Forms, a fey magic song that gives form to spirits, and preserves the forest. It is this song that has been ensuring the forest stays alive throughout the fire. The...

Session 9 The devil Kazyk explains that there is a loophole in his current contract to hunt down the group, depending on them being in the Fire Forest of Innenotdar. If the forest is no longer on fire, he doesn't have to kill them. However, he still needs the case with the information. The party...

Ooh, I like that. The manticore/dragon sounds fun, or the chance to mash two other monsters. Thanks!

One of my player's backstory involves a great monster that wiped out his company of Dasseni soldiers at the Ostalin border, and he's the only survivor. He's left what the monster was to me (PTSD blocking out his memories), and I'm trying to think where I could possibly find an existing monster...

Session 8 The party rests in the tower. During that time, Eluriah reads through the journal of the cleric, named Bhurisrava, and learns that he was a cleric of Talasius who lived in Innenotdar (formerly Otdarel) as the flames began. He writes of struggles with faith, and of keeping those who...

Oops, yes, I also changed that a bit. So originally, there's supposed to be a hellhound that delivers a message from the devil written on a bone. I cut that after reading Jacob Driscoll's blog, where he believed he should have cut down the number of encounters/buildup to Kazyk, and just have...

Session 7 The party heads towards the village they saw in the distance, when Crystin winces in pain, and shouts for Eluriah to move. Eluriah jumps back, and a lance of fire pierces the ground she had been standing on, and an enormous stag of fire emerges. The party fought gamely, cornering the...

Chapter 1 started here Session 6 The party enters the Fire Forest, drinking their potions that at first are warm on their tongues, then cold in their stomachs. Traveling along the Elfroad, they each pick up on different oddities in the forest. Mishka, wanting to make sure they find the most...
