[April] What's up in your campaign?

[Nisarg]

Well, I'm running three campaigns right now:

In Traveller (traveller d20, but not the setting): my players have just gotten the red-pass they needed to get to Gantros where they have to warn Colonel Ali about the impending alien invasion they have been witness to. This is a pretty major thing since up till now aliens have been a myth or legend, no intelligent alien species has ever been found. What the PCs don't know is that the military and the Caliphate already know about this, and that this foreknowledge explains why they have lately been taking a hardline stance and trying to unify the republic under a strong federalist rule.

In Blue Rose/Port Blacksand: The player characters have just defeated Erethrim the candlemaker, who was secretly a mad chaos mage/worshipper of Pyrary, and had tried to sink the city. Unfortunately in the process one of the character's pet animated cactus was altered by chaos magic, turned giant and went on a rampage through the garden district, destroying another PC's house. Yet another character is desperately trying to find out if her teacher is a lesbian (without just asking).

as for my Classic D&D campaign, you can read all about it here

My cleric and the rest of the party are continuing to explore the caves above the lost city of Barakus, currently still on the first level so not sure what threats await us - we've disposed of the ratmen, ogre, ghoul and orc barbarian and had to run away from the water mephit.

Tyr Must Pay!

The party, after gaining the sponsorship of the local hobgoblin kingdom by raiding the adjacent human kingdom, cleared out a hive of Formians on the border. While waiting for their new residence to be renovated (enlarged, new furniture, death traps, torture room, altar to vile gods. You know, the usual.) they went off to enlist the aid of some nearby Gnoll tribes in the coming war between the humans and hobgoblins (they got a bit carried away in their raiding) and along the way killed an adult blue dragon (possessed it and went on another rampage through the human kingdom actually).

Upon their triumphant return to the hobgoblin kingdom on dragon-back(though they had to kill the dragon immediately on landing because the possession was wearing off), they discover that giants have their new headquarters under siege, so they trek off to deal with that. A nice bit of diplomacy later, and the hobgoblins have a new ally (the giants), the giants have some land to call their own (on the border between the hobgoblins and humans), and the party has their headquarters back(unfinished and with a pile of dead hobgoblin workers). So everyone is... er happy (actually the hobgoblins are the onl ones that came out ahead, but I'm not pointing that out). They take a month off from active adventuring to build a golem, animate the dragon as a skeletal mount, and make sure no one else comes along and kills the workers before the deathtraps are done. The one semi-normal party member, a female rogue/assassin who specializes in seduction, goes off and assassinates the general of the human army, only to find out a week or so later that he got ressurected.

Fast foward a month and the hobgoblins are sieging the city that the party attacked while they had control of the dragon, and the party decides to help out with the siege. One of the death knights, IMO a bit cocky with his ability to go ethereal, scouts out the city wall from the ethereal plane. Several minutes into his jaunt, a Blinking Trumpet Archon appears and Banishes his prized Night Mare (evidently he forgot it was an outsider, Planar Ally is such a nice spell...)

That's where we stopped, the three options for retrieving the beast are:
1. head to Carcerai via Plane Shiftand find it
2. acquire a scroll of Gate and call it (pricey)
2.b find someone who can cast Gate (and tell them its true name, yea right)
3. wait a year and a day and use his death knight ability and call a new one (once again, yea right)

In my Planescape game, a lot has happened...

In short, the party has sold body parts to Seamusxanthuszenus, met A'kin the Friendly Fiend, tried to get their reward for past services by using a portal to the Plane of Earth in the basement of a butcher's shop, and were attacked by the dark creepers, stalkers and the kenku cleric who were using that butcher's shop as a cover to sell decadent dao the flesh of sentient beings. The party's cleric died in that last fight, having his head pulped by the kenku cleric's heavy pick (on a crit. with minimum damage.), so that player is now trying to figure out what he could be next.

Demiurge out.
