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

    We managed to get to the graveyard without any mishaps. It was an open area, prominent as it was ringed with large statues. The area inside was covered in black and purple flowers. We all stopped and looked at this spectacle in front of us. Felix was looking at the statues and muttering to...

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

    It took a little time and I was just explaining the technicalities of the delicate magic of the simulacra to the priest when Drudge returned. “Found some blood; quite a bit of it actually. I knew I got him! If we hurry, we’ll catch him before he can set up.” So we all descended carefully...

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

    Well, our initial cunning plan was to resurrect him to put a crimp in Leska's plans; unfortunately, the authors seemed to have pre-empted us on that one. I did have to repeat the posting process today. The first attempt produced an error message and asked me to re-try after thirty seconds.

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

    We could hear his shout as he plummeted. Damnation! On top of everything else, Rhuarc must have had some more enchanted arrows which sucked magic. Thankfully, both John and I took advantage of that moment of distraction to step out and drag Felix and Longhelim back into the tree house...

    He certainly is a nasty piece of work but what really exaggerates his abilities is the aid of the level draining undead.

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

    Drudge stayed at his lookout point while the paladin and I moved back to the camp. We settled down for the night, wrapped in our night clothes and night armour. It felt as if I had only just gone to sleep when suddenly there was a shout and I blearily opened my eyes; there was activity all...

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

    Still grumbling and irritated, Longhelim and Victor returned back into the tunnels and we started again. The path was familiar as we passed the same junctions and moved down the same tunnels; except that Drudge swore that the markings were on different tunnels this time. I wasn’t sure just...

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

    “Wait!” I called out to them but all I could see was the darkness in the trees. John turned around and asked: “What did you want to speak to them about?” “Well, she obviously knows Rhuarc; it would have been good to find out just what he is, if possible. His father was a paladin and his...

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

    So, we packed up and turning into clouds, sped through the sky. At that speed, it didn’t take us very long to reach the area where Fayne had marked the main elven camp; and indeed, in a clearing surrounded by a stockade of sharpened tree trunks, the camp was clearly visible. Flying overhead, we...

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

    We were so exhausted after our conflict the previous night that we woke up when the weak sun was at its zenith in the sky. That meant the Felix could not access a new group of spells yet although John and I were able to learn our arcane magic. We were still feeling out of sorts; the whole area...

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

    She smiled and then took out a rolled cloth which portrayed a very good map of the forest region and the rivers as well as the surrounding land; laying it on the ground, she said: “Copy this roughly; now, let me show the position of the henge, which is here; the last reported position of the...

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

    We did not need to Drudge to find the next beings we met in this benighted place. Flickering through the forest, dashing through the trees we saw a group of phantoms; they were of human shape and it was obvious that some of them were wearing the clothes of women and others of men; there were...

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

    This was the outskirts of a small village; well, former village. It had been burned out. We also surprised a Ragesian garrison of a few soldiers but we managed to deal with these very quickly. Once that was finished, it was obvious that the village had been burned out some time ago and that...

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

    The next morning, we all met in Simeon’s map room again; we had all prepared spells which we would need in case we had to make a journey far away; we had also had Felix’s usual breakfast. This time around, only Sheena, Katrina, Torrent and Kiernan attended the loremaster. He looked more...

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

    Not surprisingly, this flight was uneventful; I hoped that using this mode of travel from now on would save us a great deal of time and trouble. We flew at such speed that it would be difficult to imagine that anything could catch us. We also flew at such a height that we were reasonably...

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

    As I watched the ground pass under us, lost in my own thoughts, I felt someone gently tugging at my back. It was Drudge; I turned around just as John asked me: “Faden? Are you with us? We were just discussing what we should do next.” I was still thinking about everything that we had learned...

    Thank you. We've managed to get a bit more done now so I will be able to put a few more updates in the coming weeks.

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

    So, a few more things have happened. Latest update: Briefly I glanced at the invisible elven princess but she was just keeping up and making sure that she attracted as little attention as possible. Drudge was far in the distance behind us now; he still seemed to be dueling with the one...

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

    I am afraid that there will be a brief hiatus again as this is as far as we have got in actual play.
