Kuthona, 4719 - Gozrah, 4722: Heavy Is The Head Timeon read the missive the messenger had brought him again, and then passed it over to Dakota. The township of Barrington is being afflicted by the Tears of Achlys. Dozens are already dead. Oh great and powerful monarch, please send aid to...

21 Sarenith, 4718 - 22 Sarenith, 4718 - Tomb Raiders Once an elegant domed shrine, the place of reverence had been foully and thoroughly defiled: statues lay broken on the floor, and the mosaic symbol of Aroden under the great dome was smeared with all manner of filth. The walls which bore...

12 Sarenith, 4718 - 21 Sarenith, 4718 - The Tomb of the Iron Medusa “How long has this been troubling you, sister,” Dakota asked. She and Tardaesha sat on the roof of their temporary abode under a full moon and a sky filled with stars. “Ever since I met the little wretch,” Tardaesha scowled...

I think the leonal would try to spare the hostages, but she is not lawful good, and the “greater” good might win out. I think that once inside the maze, a little deus ex machina from the powers-that-be would not allow the innocents to pass through the shift and be left behind.

This crew has bigger fish to fry

12 Sarenith, 4718 - Greed “You’re not going to let this go, are you?” Kelvin asked, exasperated. “We’re talking about the horde of one of the most powerful dragons in the world!” Tardaesha threw up her hands. “That is currently somewhere in the middle of the ocean,” Kelvin explained again for...

15 Desnus, 4718 - 12 Sarenith, 4718 - The Die is Cast No sooner had Dessiter departed than the air in the great grotto rippled again. Tiadora, dressed all in flowing white, appeared before the Knot. Above and behind her, clad in full battle regalia, hovered the deadly beautiful erinyes devils...

At 11th level, most of the PC’s were capable of some form of flight, so that wasn’t too much of an issue. I kept the phoenix airborn during the entire encounter. When he died and resurrected, several of the party had already left the scene, leaving Roger and one other behind. An aerial chase...

15 Desnus, 4718 - The Devil My Only Master The Nessian Knot turned to leave the summoning chamber, their mission complete. No sooner had they reentered the chamber where they’d fought Brijit, however, than three bright flashes of light signaled the arrival of more enemies. Three large figures...

15 Desnus, 4718 - The Fall of the House of Darius At Kat’s insistence, the companions returned to the king’s quarters on the first floor of the Adarium. Something about the locked and warded door kept nagging at her. “He that violates this shrine shall gain nothing but ashes, nothing but...

15 Desnus, 4718 - Blood Ties The new moon rose one week after Kat’s scouting mission to the Adarium. Tardaesha had sent Father O’Toole, still firmly under her control, back to the keep so as not to arouse suspicion. Before he had departed, however, the vampires of the Knot had secured an...

10 Gozran, 4718 - 8 Desnus, 4718 - Cracks In The Facade “Who…what are you?” Roger asked the disembodied skull “I no longer remember who I was once was,” the skull hissed. “For as long as I can remember I have been called by others The Nameless Tyrant.” “Never heard of you,” Kelvin said in a...

10 Gozran, 4718 - The Wrath of Eiramanthus As the companions of the Ninth Knot ascended the tower, they passed through two floors which were essentially large open rooms. The walls of these levels were adorned in ornate frescoes which seemed to tell some sort of history. On the second floor...

Nice thought! That would have screwed with our vampires!

Grumblejack actually does find romance. More on that later. We ran the Vale encounters in a series, one after the other, with a short amount of time in between.

Sounds familiar! Grumblejack is still alive and kicking in our campaign. Alas, his player has relocated out of state so he will be retiring before the grand finale.

9 Gozran, 4718 - 10 Gozran, 4718 - Dragons Of Winter Night “And just where were you off to in such a hurry?” Tardaesha asked, her red eyes flashing with anger. “I told you all to run,” Jeratheon shrugged. “My father apparently added some new guardians since last I visited.” “Let’s hope, for...

On The Wings of Eagles - 16 Pharast, 4718 - 9 Gozran, 4718 Tandengate Prison in Cliffward was an old castle perched precariously on a cliff overlooking the sea. It had a reputation for being a brutal jail, only slightly better than Branderscar. Now it was in poor shape for a fortification, and...

The three vamps in our group have used Dominate effectively, but mostly in role-playing scenarios, and it hasn't been overpowered. It has mainly helped them do things like gain information or access to a private dwelling. The vampires venture out strictly at night. I would personally not allow...

The Sacking of Daveryn - 9 Pharast, 4718 - 16 Pharast, 4718 "This should do the trick," Kelvin said, as he placed the ducal crown upon his head. "Now let's see about finding your owner." The young wizard closed his eyes and focused his mind as he cast out with his magic. At first his inner...
