That wasn’t part of the plan! So much for approaching the tower by stealth; we rushed forward across the open ground, surprise be damned. As we reached approximately half way, suddenly John erupted from the solid ground and threw himself to one side, shouting: “The Tower isn’t there!” He was...

Yes, the foes were never easy but four ettins with whips (20 foot reach) and the Improved Trip feat almost did for us; and I suspect its only going to get harder!

It was John who stepped in this time: “Before we go anywhere, we should gather our loot.” “What loot?” I asked. He looked at me as if I was insane: “How many times do I have to tell you! The armour, the weapons, the potions, the equipment. It’s worth a fortune!” This time I looked at him...

We arrived in the House of Healing; it was just a normal townhouse really but there were about six priests there, shaven headed and who looked more like monks but they took one look and immediately began to tend to our wounds. Several of them brought out healing wands and quickly used them on...

As I walked through the town, I began to wonder why were we here again? Oh, yes, something about some Ragesians; I couldn’t quite remember what they were doing but surely they must have been reasonable people; I began to wonder why we just couldn’t all get along…. I heard a voice; Victor’s I...

The night passed and in the morning we learned our spells. Once that was achieved, we advanced to the previous day’s vantage point; Felix cast his spells on Longhelim, Drudge and Victor who carried the priest, John and myself respectively. Three Weeping Ravens, in bird form, was sitting on...

Victor replied quietly: “Just as well, I think; those men and women were trained; I don’t know for what, but the way they moved, they were definitely trained; it may have been just as harem dwellers, if that’s the right term, but it could also have been in something else.” “Yes, but did you...

We looked at each other. Subconsciously, I had been expecting it. Gate Pass was city of merchants, craftsmen and farmers, not soldiers. It could not have stood up against the Ragesian war machine for any length of time; but it was still devastating news. I just hoped that the sack of the city...

The next morning Felix decided to learn a spell which would relay a magical message to Simeon, the master of the Lyceum in Seaquen. He began casting his spell. It was a long and complicated procedure and as was my wont, I watched with interest; I began making various notes and I realised that at...

John was some time but then we heard a knock on our door; the enemy wouldn’t knock, so we opened the door cautiously to find John/Serimus outside. He slipped through and then grinned at us, looking immensely pleased with himself. Felix and I were still cramming our spells so I wasn’t paying...

The next day dawned crisp and clear. Even though it was early, we could already hear noise outside. The Tournament participants must have been setting up stalls the previous evening. Felix, John and I put our heads together and studied various spells which we discussed yesterday. Today was going...

As we went through our spoils, we discovered several items which would be of great use to us in the future. My magical research discovered the following: for Drudge, a pair of thin, worked leather gloves with runes and sigils etched into them. I had heard of such gloves; they made the wearer...

Great. Looking forward to the SH as and when it comes. Hope the group won and that your campaign world is not under the heel of the Ragesian Empire at the moment.

Thank you both. Playing wise, we are slightly ahead of the accounts; in fact we have finished this adventure but as usual, I have to write, read, edit, re-read and edit again etc. We are at the beginning of the next adventure. Lwaxy, you finished the AP? I hope you enjoyed it? Are you also...

The next morning was a bright day; not a cloud in the sky and brilliant sunshine reflecting off the snow and ice. We sat down and discussed our tactics and strategy for the coming battle; talked about the spells which we were going to learn that day; the most advantageous magic which would aid...

Now, your efforts will allow me to finalise my plans; as I discussed earlier with you, I hope you will play a part in my strategy.” He took us to one of the tables, which showed a detailed map of the approaches to Gallo’s Fend. It was remarkable. “The enemy can only come at us through one...

The next morning, I woke up remarkably refreshed. One of the advantages of not suffering the cold or heat was that one was not woken up in the middle of the night by the cold. There is little to beat an uninterrupted night’s sleep. At breakfast, we met Lord Dashgoban. The aged dwarf was sitting...

Thanks for reading. You put this whole piece together didn't you? Great job. We are having a very good time of it; GM says the campaign has a very epic feel to it. I hope the accounts give an impression of the scope of the game. There is a heck of a lot to it and a great deal of the fun is that...

Still looking around carefully, we stripped the bodies of the spoils of war and then began to search the actual location. Although we were sure that there was no one else in this watch post, we did not relax. Who knows what traps or surprises could have been left for us by the Ragesians during...

When we left Gallo’s Fend, the horses were obviously slightly spooked and restless as the snow did not sink beneath them as they were expecting but it did not take them long to get used to this strange firmness and they rapidly settled down. Commander Hertiage did not say anything but I could...
