And so, over the course of many years
In Nov 2008 Bart the wizard, Samm the cleric, and Thaedrus the warlock journey to winter haven to investigate a former professor who has become a cultist of Orcus.
Jan 2010…still in Winterhaven. Rafa the elf cleric, Lucian the tie fling rogue would join Bart, Samm, and Don, Samm’s Paladin brother in the final confrontation with Kalarel. Thaedrus is dead. Don dies soon enough.
March 2010 Bart, Lucian, and Rafa our joined by Buckthorn and Torrin the dragon born paladin to investigate slavers in the Thunderspire Labyrinth….
May 2010 Torin disappears, but Forge and Zhuva, ranger-wizard, are freed.
Nov 2010 the slaves are freed, the vecna serving wizard is destroyed, and a miracle happens, as Rafa, Buckthorn and Zhuva all die, or would have, if Ryassa had not intervened, saving Buckthorn, allowing Zhuva to ascend to the heavens.
Jan 2011 Lucian, Forge, and Buckthorn are joined by shifter cleric shaman Ghen-Uia Nis, who begin an epic journey by land and sea to the Shadow Coast, all in response to a letter from Bart. Shortly thereafter they meet wizards Malachia and Nar-heru. Malachia does not last. And Bart is found without his head. But the rest begin the journey to the Tomb of Horrors.
July 2011, the Tomb is plunged, the demi-lich is confronted, and defeated. Ghen and Forge have their souls sucked out, but luck is with them, and all survive.
August 2011, offered a reward by a merchant family, the five begin exploring corruption in a strange fey-grave yard.
Dec 2011, still together, the five return to Watercross, and eventually end up back in Winterhaven, where Samm rejoins them, then dies.
March 2012, the five by their own volition enter the shadow and seek out the ancient city of Moil, they find the shadow tomb and realize that Acererak has not been fully defeated.
August 2012, Nar, Forge, Buckthorn, and Lucian enter Gamma World. Ghen is lost, and Lucian soon would be.
May 2013. They return from Gamma World to Watercross and meet Simoria, Genasi Swordmage Artificer. Soon they are back at the tomb of horrors.
August 2013, they escape a Githyanki legion by seeking “refuge” in Baba Yaga's Hut, Lucian comes, and goes.
Nov 2013 Nar, Forge, Buckthorn and Simoria enter Sigil where they encounter factions, war with the githyanki, and learn the secrets of Nar’s book, which was Barts book, which was Kalarel’s book, which was Simon Amber’s book, which was Acererak’s book….
March 2014 The Lady of Pain stops Nar from rejoining the Book with the Code of Infinite Planes, destroying it and casting Nar into a maze.
April 2014 Forge, Buckthorn and Simoria are cast into Hades by the Lady of Pain, where they meet the warlord Allowyn and his great cat Leandre. He seeks a horn to save his world. A very, very long day has begun.
July 2014 The long day ends as the party finds the Tomb of Dead Gods, has various reminders of the Tomb of Horrors, defeats the dead undead godling Nerul and has the final two part confrontation with Acererak. They somehow all survive to be thanked for serving dark, as well as light, at the end.
