We chased the figure we thought was Rhuarc, crossed a river and his trail led to a house on a hill. Heading up the hill we saw him running away. What a surprise. Riding smelly, Merrick and Lumi try to cut him off. Lumi attacks only to realize it is a duplicate and the real Rhuarc shoots her...

we are not on the material plane, but not in the shadowfell. leaves are translucent, never seen these kinds of trees before. less gloomy, though still dim. Grand Manor: massive tree with dwellings built into its branches, etc. trees grown around it. From our vantage point, we can see the...

Fayne will lead us to rescue her friend who's being held prisoner -- at a certain point Fayne stops and says she won't go any further, there are wards she cannot cross. karuna has stopped feeling the pull to the south. stealthily advance in the direction of the garrison. proceed one at a time...

The elven forms melt away until they are all wolves who attack the sleeping party (although asteron, karuna & shirazade are awake). after defeating the creatures, more howls sound in the night. a silvery glowing wolf appears. its throat is cut and bleeding though it is wearing a a jeweled collar...

Resting in the forest proved difficult. Even the sounds of our footsteps and the light of our torch seemed dampened by the eerie surroundings. As we followed the river, we spotted a procession of glowing ghostly elves. Shirazade and Lumi stepped forward and called out to them. At the sound of...

By the way, if you've managed to keep up this long, you might be interested to have a recap of the party make-up: Van, a tiefling (formerly revenant) shadow hexblade (formerly infernal warlock)/legendary hexblade and servant of the Raven Queen Shirazade, a Taranesti elf invoker/vessel of ichor...

While discussing our next course of action, Lumi suggests swinging by Gate Pass to pick up the Living Blade. “Surely a weapon that can kill Trilliths would be good to have.” Shirazade implores the party to visit the Ycengled forest at once, to see if they might encounter the spirits of her...

The souls in the chest and Baelzra's body dissipate while we're resting. Surprisingly, Van approaches us with the devil Kazyk and declares he is who he seems. Zofia planned on taking Van to Dis, to be punished for eternity. Fortunately (at least for Van) Kazyk was tasked to bring the party to...

Merrick completed a ritual to protect us from heat and noxious fumes. Karuna and Van are unconscious. In Hell, fire powers are enhanced, and teleportation no longer causes damage. Is Baelzra stealing souls from the Raven Queen? A funnel cloud reaches back up into the clouds, and glinting gold...

Yeah, went a little off the rails in order to prevent a TPK. I had been trying for some time to find a good place to insert a side quest related to Van's background (his long-lost love being sucked into Hell when he was resurrected as a revenant). So this worked out okay. Also, the characters...

A shadowy elven woman is standing on the deck of a ship cruising high above the blasted landscape of the nine hells. Suddenly, there's a burst of flame, and a beautiful human woman appears, accompanied by a dazed-looking tiefling. The beautiful woman, her cunning eyes shining, approaches the...

The party (minus the now dead Karuna and the missing Van) investigate an opulent bedroom and find a shrine with small fires burning around a tall flame. There are also several mirrors, looking through them, you can see into other rooms. movement in one mirror catches our attention - we see a...

Down with Griaat Van and the beautiful woman walk away from us through a door at the far end of the room. beyond them we can see and hear a roaring fire. a man enters the room we're in through the same door saying, "Fools! you've come to your doom!" His skin is decayed, he's wearing a bear...

I'll be there and about to start WotBS adventure 7. Also thinking about Zetigeist when this is done and would enjoy talking to other GMs about their thoughts. Also love some gaming! O

Fiona: ugh, that was the worst ride ever! not sure where my head was -- must've been thinking about Donuts again and sad that i couldn't have any... then of course when i finally did get back into the game, van just "hurried" off like there was no tomorrow. which, i suppose, in our line of work...

Fiona: the ritual to change van back into a living being was going to take merrick 4 hours, so we settled in to wait. i didn't want to miss a thing so i parked myself nearby but i was so excited it was hard to sit still. which turned out to be okay because 2 cloaked devily creatures appeared...

Skipping ahead a bit and returning to Fiona: after clearing out the devils -- though the one named Kazyk got away -- and picking up some loot, we found the scroll... but Van wanted to use it to resurrect himself (he is a revenant) instead of giving it to Gorquith. and while Gorquith was going...

An aside from the DM: The fight with the devils in Korstull was one of the most frustrating and unenjoyable battles I have run in a long time. I modified the devils to the newer damage levels but left the more-or-less as-written as far as powers, etc. Unfortunately, they were heavily outgunned...

Lumi, human knight, steps in for a moment: Our party retired to the conference room, over which Alain's magic eyes watched while we made camp. We were exhausted after battling all the statues, undead, and other creatures of Korstull. The night passed uneventfully and we returned well-rested to...

Narrated by Fiona, halfling rogue: back at the original set of doors, we chose the one with golden arches next. we could hear mechanical noises as Lumi muscled it open, though it wasn't trapped, and propped it open with a mace we found earlier. nice room with a plush rug, statues lining the...
