Chapter 285 Dawn found them marching through the jungle once more. Progress was again slow. A thin fog hung over the landscape well into the morning, giving the place a sort of ethereal presence. The companions were more alert to potential hazards lurking in the mists, especially after Rodan...

Chapter 284 For a moment the creature and the companions just stared at each other. The dense jungle growth made it difficult to make out any details of the creature, but they could see that it was huge, well over twenty feet long. After what felt like minutes but what only a matter of a few...

When preparing Weltarin I drew inspiration from my old Isle of Dread story. * * * Chapter 283 Kosk awoke feeling stiff. There must have been a rock or a bit of protruding stone under his bedroll, and it felt like a part of it had gotten under his skin and taken up residence in his muscles...

They're still just shy of 9th level, so no commune yet, though Quellan will have cause to try a divination a bit later in the story. * * * Chapter 282 The route down was not especially difficult, though Rodan’s chosen path frequently came close to sharp drop-offs that had them all treading...

Chapter 281 The ground was too hard for digging, so they buried Elias under a cairn of piled rocks. By the time they were finished the sun had risen fully and it was time to get moving again. They shared out the fallen soldier’s gear, the sailors dividing his armor and weapons between them...

Chapter 280 Bredan woke suddenly, his chest heaving as he fought back an intense sensation of danger and alarm. He struggled out of his blanket and almost struck his head on the low roof of the cave before he remembered where he was. He slumped back, trying to recover his equilibrium. It was...

Chapter 279 The wind was, if anything, stronger further up into the mountain pass, the gusts screaming as they tore through the narrow space between the steep stone walls. Kurok knelt in a small hollow just off one of the many twists and turns in the ascent. The loud noises of the wind were a...

Chapter 278 The wind continued to blow deep into the jungle night, the shifting gusts causing hollow moans to sound from the caves within the canyon. Wisps of cloud drifted across the night sky, obscuring the stars and the thin slice of moon that hung low in the sky. The constant sounds and...

Chapter 277 The next day the journey became even more difficult, as the terrain grew more rugged and the trail became even more of a will-o-wisp. The company trudged through densely-overgrown ravines, clambered over steep ridges, and forded stagnant pools that were thick with clinging muck...

Chapter 276 Kosk pulled himself a bit further up on the thick trunk of the fallen tree and peered through the scattered undergrowth between them and the clearing. “I don’t see anything,” the dwarf said. He looked over at Bredan and Glori, who both shrugged. Mrrik couldn’t understand their...

Chapter 275 Natak moved with such unexpected speed that the fight was almost over before it began. The dragonborn’s wings pulsed as he leapt forward. He might not have been capable of flight, but it was enough to carry him across the twenty paces that separated the two combatants in the blink...

Chapter 274 Bredan’s companions emerged from the shelter of the forest’s edge and followed him out into the meadow. Mrrik and his scouts accompanied them. The sailors were the last, but after a look back at the trail behind them they moved to join the company. The rumbling coming from the...

I could have sworn that I'd posted this one already... must be just another side-effect of the advancing years... * * * Chapter 273 The day was overcast and muggy as the column set out from the tabaxi settlement. With the three sailors joining the group they now numbered eleven, not counting...

Chapter 272 Dawn found the members of the expedition gathered on one of the lower platforms of the tabaxi village, a scant thirty feet above the forest floor below. Each of them checked and rechecked their gear, including the leather packs provided by their hosts that contained food and gourds...

Chapter 271 The tabaxi village was an odd juxtaposition of traditional structures and three dimensionality, tied together by a complex map of bridges and rope lines, branches bound together or otherwise shaped to form avenues, and in more than one case dangling vines that the inhabitants used...

Chapter 270 The meeting with the tabaxi elders took place at dusk. Bredan could still hardly believe what he was seeing as he and a select cohort of the shipwrecked survivors were escorted to the Hall of Feathers. The tabaxi—they had finally learned the name of their hosts, thanks to...

Chapter 269 Galendra made one last effort to break free, but only managed to fall back onto her side. The bars of the cage that had so stymied her would be no barrier at all to the dragon-man’s spear, she knew. She tensed as it lifted the weapon to strike, but the expected blow did not come...

Chapter 268 Tightly bound in her tiny cell, Galendra tried to ignore the competing complaints of her body and think. Her head still throbbed, and even the tiny slivers of light that made it through the cracks in the walls of the hut made her eyes water. She could hear the sounds of activity...

Well, they have their own campaign setting that was published by Green Ronin. I suppose the biggest challenge would be swapping over their streamed game to a new ruleset. They've done it before (the pre-stream game was originally Pathfinder). But it would be pretty hard to do in the middle of a...

Chapter 267 Drazakatharas was not happy. The young black snapped the butt of his spear against the ground as he walked, expressing his displeasure with each loud crack of the weapon. It was a gesture of pique and he hated himself for that, and for the fact that he’d only started doing it when...
