[QUOTE="Phebius, post: 5746320, member: 12648"] Ran a short session today for two of the characters (Halfling rogue and the Tiefling Paladin) The Tiefling spent the session doing a skill challenge to try to understand the content of a text she found in the first session. The book seems to be read in a dialect of Supernal, but she can't make heads or tails of it, (and once the player found out about what Supernal's supposed to be, she bit on that hook like a starving bass.) She wound up falling asleep after staying up half the night trying to make sense of it, wound up having some rather terrifying dreams. When she woke up, the book was open to a page on which she could suddenly understand a particular couplet. (three guesses what it was. My Orcus cult is about to get some particularly fun trappings. :devil: ) The halfling rogue went to visit one of his contacts, a female half-elf sorceress, to ask her about the Slaying Stone and about Spyder. She learned some general things about artifacts and decided that the whole party needed to have a chat about this before they figured out what to do with it. (about bloody time someone did) On the way out, she spotted Bairwin moving with purpose somewhere, decided to tail him, lost him, and got attacked by zombies. Things looked really bad for her until suddenly help arrived-in the form of Spyder and some of his gang. "A good businessman protects his investments" So when I initially decided to run this campaign, I had planned to do a more or less straightforward adaptation of Slaying Stone and then KOTS with minor tweaks. I seem to have gotten a wee bit away from that. :D [/QUOTE]
