Oh my, was he supposed to? That would have made things.......interesting!

Longhelim motioned the rest of us to retire to a corner of the square as a discreet murmur arose from the courtiers. We stood together and Longhelim spoke quietly: “Right, we all heard the proposals; what do people think? Victor, John?” John spoke first and to the point: “Him being the...

Alarmed, I looked towards the west, trying to see what new enemies the Ragesians had decided to use against us. Drudge's dry voice next to me said: ''You're looking the wrong way, Faden'.'' Looking East, I joined the others in watching a tall humanoid figure striding towards us......in...

As we watched Longhelim and Drudge approaching, suddenly I heard a voice in my head: “My name is Metamorphosis; I need your help; my Master, Vigilance, has been captured by the Ragesians and must be rescued. He has to be here before the others come!” Judging by their stunned faces, Felix and...

I am afraid that there will be another break for the time being as the SH has caught up to actual play.

That meant that the other formations began to mass fire their bows at us; thankfully, Felix’s stone wall defence worked very well and most of their arrows bounced harmlessly off it. I hoped that Drudge was all right; he may have been invisible but when the enemy was firing in such numbers, the...

The next morning, we woke up and had a long discussion about the sort of magic and defences we would require for our mission. We were very aware that the Ragesians would not only have skilled foot soldiers and archers but also various more exotic allies; devils had already been mentioned and...

Thus fell Vorax Hul, red dragon and Champion of the Ragesian army! We all looked down for some moments, unbelieving and wary, making sure that no other monstrosities were going to attack us. We did not want to be taken by surprise by some new version of Vorax Hul that had risen, like a phoenix...

As we arrived at the edge, I asked: “Where are we exactly?” Rantle replied: “In Menash’s house. This teleport trap was a very recent addition and we only just found out about it. We did manage to destroy four others but this one almost slipped through.” He smiled and continued: “Ah...

We took the scroll with the questions to Simeon; he scanned it quickly and I could have sworn I saw a slight smile as he read the last question. Then he began to cast the spell. It was not particularly complicated magic, just quite long. Diogenes must have been waiting for our response because...

I glanced up from my books; all was quiet in the library with the exception of a few groups of students who were whispering to each other while taking notes or reading from my tomes; or at least I assumed that it was to do with the information from my tomes. Others were quietly reading other...

Well, we didn't do it. Kiernan did. We had no spells left whatsoever after the battle. We may have taken part in the discussion but it will be Kiernan going to hell or the abyss after that deed. The sacrifice bit...yes well, an unfortunate requisite of using the Torch that.

As the badly burned warrior was moving forward, I could see the black miasma following us out of the hole we had made in the wall. Victor still looked quite ill as he strode forward, albeit not quite on death’s door. Effortlessly, he smashed the door with his falchion and it splintered almost...

All of us, including Kreven and his cohorts, stood motionless and speechless for a few moments, taking stock of what had just happened. The ground had settled and stabilized but the crevices were still there; thankfully, they were now visible and motionless and therefore easily avoided. Most of...

I am afraid that again, this will be the last post for a little while as the account has now caught up with actual play.

“Blasted thing is trapped; have to be careful…….” It took him some time but finally, he was happy that he managed to bypass the trap, whatever it was. “It was some magical trap; not sure exactly what but it was better to get rid of it.” Then the rogue opened the opening and rapidly...

The warriors nodded and John gently and carefully slit one of the runes; it ceased glowing immediately and the rest of the circle flickered and then dimmed. For a few tense moments nothing happened and then a figure half crawled, half shambled out of the darkness. It was a peculiar shape...

We began to walk back the way we came, albeit lurching to an extent as so many of us were suffering from the pain. It was quite extraordinary though; there was not a word of complaint from anyone. I remembered the tunnel that Thoren mentioned. It was very narrow and would accommodate our...

The doors to the balconies had been left open and we ran into the stairwells out of sight of the archers but not before they managed to score a few final hits, especially on me. I was perilously weak by the time I had run up the stairs, with several arrows sticking out of my legs and torso...

I wasn’t quite as sure about that. The first problem was the doors in front of us. They were huge, heavy and made of adamantite; there was no sign of a lock and they were firmly closed. John examined them and then gave the all clear. Victor tried pulling, pushing, up, down and sideways but made...
