    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    We recognized the danger immediately; if they were scouts, and their actions suggested that they were, then there must have been a larger force nearby; one that must have somehow slipped past the vigilance of Master Pilus. In fact, it was amazing that this had not happened before, considering...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As I came out, the situation was just as desperate as it had been before I was trapped except that now Longhelim was beside Felix and the other devil hound was gone; and I couldn’t even see John as he was beyond the wall of flame although the orc in red armour had gone back through it so he must...

    Hard work indeed, this scenario; and we are level 14 at the moment.

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    After that the mask fell silent. We formed up in front of the cave and then John went forward. He was very careful around the entrance, examining it quite thoroughly; a little while later, there was a very loud noise and then John ran back, sporting a large bruise on his forearm. “There is a...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    The archers were positioned in their most advantageous placements and as soon as they saw us, they fired their first volley. There didn’t have a particular target, they just fired clouds of arrows in our general direction. Unfortunately, as predicted, they were expert marksmen, and several of...

    Interesting. When you say "The Drow", do you mean The Drow War from Mongoose?

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As a matter of curiosity, Carborundum, you mentioned that you were thinking of starting a WotBS campaign yourself. Is that happening?

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As he was looking out, he said: “We will break this hanging sword! This devastation is what the Obelisk is capable of and this is why it must be destroyed! If we don’t succeed the first time, then we will take another thousand men and if those fail, then another thousand until this abomination...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Time passed; I wasn’t sure how long but I had made a breakthrough; it didn’t solve the problem but I was a step closer. I looked up and was surprised to see that it was dark outside. John was still engrossed in his own work but the library was mostly deserted with only our bodyguards present...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As one can imagine, with all of these thoughts, my night’s rest was fitful at best but I managed to get up in the morning and learn all the spells from my arsenal. I still felt out of sorts after I had burned in the Temple and there was a feeling that somehow I had lost something, some power or...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Felix was healing himself with the help of Drudge; Victor was helping John and Longhelim was ready to go forward. I noticed that the Torch now had an axe head. At Longhelim’s nod, Shalosha negated the magical wall and we rapidly moved forward. John was finally able to move forward on his own; he...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    A new vision began at that point; Shaaladel was watching his warriors chaining up a Taranesti onto one of the trees in the Forest of Ycengled. The elven mage present in the room was with him; a scout rushes up and points straight at us. Shaaladel looks disturbed, takes out an amulet and...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Katrina's betrayal was a complete surprise. We had no idea; we did interact quite a bit with her and the GM played her straight. She timed her switch beautifully. So much so in fact that initially when we saw the vision, I thought that it was the Temple messing with our minds as per the old...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Just then, I stopped because suddenly I was gripped by a vision, much like seeing Longhelim the boy, except that this time, I could see the entrance to the Temple; eight figures were approaching and with a shock I realised that I recognized two of them; one was Shalosha and the other was...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    So, we all advanced to the space in front of the mirror and then, as per our instructions, we willed ourselves into it. At this point, my reality seemed to bend, twist and warp as my body was drawn into the surface of the glass and pressed through. As this was happening, I saw a vision from the...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Hello Carborundum; apologies for the delay in replying. I was away for the holiday and did not have internet access. After reading your post, the answers to your questions are deceptively long so, this post is a little lengthier than I thought it would be. Yes, Rhuarc was certainly a piece...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    The next morning, we prepared various spells. We were all curiously refreshed as if finally getting a night’s sleep had reinvigorated us; I felt as if I had even more energy and than normal and was able to learn even more spells than usual. It was exhilarating. Through my magic, I was able to...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    Victor approached, gently twisted the handle and pushed……. Several things happened at once then; suddenly five of the undead flew through the walls and tried to engulf Drudge, only to be repulsed by his spell. I could also hear Victor shouting: “One big room; large pentagram in the middle...

    The Gate Pass Irregulars: A War of the Burning Sky Campaign

    As we were waiting in the magical trap, which could turn out to be an unexpected refuge, our repose was rudely interrupted. Victor and Longhelim appeared on top of us; literally, in a flash of flame, suggesting they had access to magical transport. As I desperately tried to move my head out of...
