This village, Macon, was a fairly typical settlement of this region; peaceful, prosperous farmers in large, neat farms and houses; we were able to purchase horses and no one paid us any undue attention. Once mounted, we spent began to ride north as quickly as possible. We followed the river...

It certainly didn’t waste any time, whatever it was. Stepping forward, it lunged at John, its tongue lashed out and suddenly the rogue stopped moving, paralysed. Then it moved again, this time stepping next to me. The tongue lashed out again, the claw bit me and I felt a freezing sensation, a...

We were taken to the dungeons. I was alive; beaten, bloody, stripped but alive. I also had a pair of cuffs; they were quite odd. They left my arms completely free but forcibly closed my hands into fists and allowed only a very limited movement of my fingers. There was also a gag in my mouth...

The trip to Bresk was short and uneventful after that. As we approached the city, it quickly became apparent that Dessan architecture was very much like its people: functional, unpretentious and with little decoration or frippery with one exception. The houses were square and sensible, with...

The next morning was bright, crisp and, judging by the ice and faint dusting of snow, cold; we couldn’t actually tell. We met Balan at the gate of the Lyceum together with Simeon, Kiernan, Katrina and a curious group of students. There were a few speeches and wishes for our success but we kept...

The following days followed the same pattern as those which I enjoyed so much before that fateful performance of the Trials of Toteth Topec; I spent the day in the library with John while the others disappeared. That evening they returned and we had an enjoyable evening meal. Then we retired to...

We had only one more potential doorway to investigate and that was the dragon’s mouth, which we had seen in the initial room. That was obviously leading somewhere but we were very cautious. Everyone had a bad feeling about sticking their head into a dragon’s mouth, even if it was a stone one...

As I watched while the others looked down the glowing shaft, I briefly contemplated that out of all the things that I wanted to be doing right now, standing underwater in the rooms of a long forgotten pyromancer, staring down a fiery shaft and deciding who was going to jump down it first, was...

I hope you manage to put together the player logs. I will be interesting to see what your players did and how they reacted to various situations. As for catching up with us, I suspect that won't be difficult. We don't play that often. Hope you are having as much fun with the game as we are.

I am afraid that will be it for a little time. This is as far as we have got at the moment. I will keep this up as well as I can but more sporadically from now on.

I squinted into the darkness, trying to see this “enemy” that Victor was shouting about. I was stuck behind Longhelim, who in turn, was second behind Victor. Initially, all I could see were two shapes moving rapidly towards Victor. As they came into the torch light, I saw that they most...

This pattern was repeated for the next several days. Longhelim and the others said that they had gone to Simeon to see if there was anything urgent that was suited to our particular talents but were told that considering our most recent achievements, we should enjoy our rest. We “rested” by...

The next day was spent in spell learning and mostly in recovery. John and I spent the day doing the former while Felix and Longhelim indulged in the latter. Victor and Drudge did leave the Lyceum and returned in the afternoon with some shocking news. A bedraggled refugee had staggered out of the...

Intriguing. Looking forward to reading that if you plan to Story Hour it.

Lwaxy, please join in. The more the merrier so far as I am concerned. In fact it would be very interesting to see how your players cope with the same situations and if they make the same choices that we did. I know that there are one or two accounts of the AP on the ENPublishing forum but my...

Azkorra, thank you for the kind words. I must confess that I am running out of prose at the moment. August is holiday time for my group and we haven't played for a little while; so unfortunately, I have enough for two more updates and then I will have to stop for a little while so we can play...

The next day dawned as we were getting ready. We had a brief discussion about what we remembered a regards travelling through the swamp and everyone recalled that we needed boats. John’s research indicated that the dragons used to live in the Southwestern part of the swamp, not too far away from...

As mentioned previously, we discussed how to spend the next few days. I had to rest – to recover from my enforced spell cramming in the middle of Vule. I suppose one could call it “resting”, but while I was in the Lyceum Library, I was taking full advantage of the time, furthering my magical...

The time for the War Council had arrived. We were still exhausted and battered after the events in the steam tunnels but the Lyceum requested divine casters to help us with healing as well as several natural fortifying potions which kept us awake. I must confess that I was feeling incredibly...

The next morning Torrent asked to stay in the Lyceum. She was obviously still suffering from the trauma of the previous days. I imagined that having your mind invaded and then being compelled to perform various acts that could potentially have harmed the lives of thousands of people must take...
