The Psion breaks eye contact with Kosal and seems to notice for the first time Pa'avu's feat of incredible earthmending. Likely she saved dozens of lives just now. Still, the compromised edifice sparks an idea. CHANVATI has moved earth and stone with his mind before. He has demolished...

Skill Challenge, Make Camp in the Perilous Wilds, L2 C1 (4 Successes before 3 Failures) (1 Success/0 Failures; 1 Secondary Skill available). The cabin, its furnishings and rollers, the altar, and the gruesome statue all go up easily in a great conflagration. At first, all seems normal enough: a...

Per @Manbearcat : So, we're going with (c) from the above. Chanvati's goal is to get 2N to pause whatever op they are about to unleash in an effort to prove to them (as part of the audience at large) that Big Changes are coming to Bantouk, changes that will benefit all the citizenry in a...

Though the chants and jeers of the crowd grow, and though he knows the pending entrance of Bladeling Legionnaires will harbinge ill for this evening, and perhaps for all his desires and schemes, CHANVATI cannot help but think there was something familiar, and foreboding, about the young worker...

When CHANVATI and Pa'avu enter the Empress's chambers, Sovelis makes as if to depart with the handful of servants, handmaidens, and slaves. But the Merchant-Prince stays him. "No, Sovelis, I wish you to bear witness to what I have to say about our Empress's ... so-called curse," he finishes...

OBard can easily grab the Skald's aura with a single feat. This "fake Skald" build features prominently in the Handbook hosted now on this site. The Witch has long been defended by @MwaO , a rather skilled optimizer and veritable repository of 4E lore, mechanics, and such, as a vastly...

CHANVATI observes the Empress and her oblivious disregard for the veritable army of slaves and servants working around her. What distracts her attention so? Ah, it is excitement for the coming evening, her looking forward to events in the future in favor of the immediacy of the present moment...

Stepping in here temporarily again in role of amanuensis to @Nephis. As Bita-Bousseh perorates on historical jurisprudence during the injury time out, PA'AVU meets the eyes of the young Empress. The Goliath does not smile or roll her eyes, but if a blank look could express those displays, this...

Blasted Logging Camp, L4 Combat encounter successfully completed. Rewards: Milestone achieved. (Note this is your third Milestone since your last Extended Rest, which has implications for the Amulet of Passage's Concordance Score, which you should note in your followup post.) Take a Short...

Today I approached the Goliath Pa'avu about these strange occurrences. I told her about the weird visions I've been having, my shadow, the fire, the doubled eagle in the tree. This started only after whatever you and the merchant did in the Congress of Savagery, I pointed out. I know something...

The final moments of battle against Grimtail, their sole remaining foe, are a sad testament to the humiliation Gae'al once faced at the hands--and pedipalps and stinger--of these enemies. Encircled by four adversaries, the great scorpion shuffles and lunges, sprays its poison and darts its...

Blades in the Dark: from layout and graphic design to mechanics to art to writing, this beautiful little book scores excellent marks across all of (my) criteria.

Before dawn on the following day, all who stay at Juniper House rise and break their fast with a hearty bowl of porridge and goat's milk, slices of toasted bread and fried goose eggs as accompaniment. Juniper sees you off, and Berylis leads you into the forest west and north of Ravenswood...
