Sail South From Sasserine
Sailing on the party headed towards Fort Greenrock, being joined by two new members, Morn and Holly. When the vessel arrived there they saw a scene of devastation, buildings completely destroyed and bodies lying everywhere. From a distance they could see a large shape which appeared to be made of coral which was relentlessly destroying the fort. Moving the ship into a broadsides position Morning fired the cataapult which missed and the Golem retreated further inland.
Getting into a launch the party landed on shore and moved into the fort. Seeing the coral golm in the distance Holly mumbled a few words and hit the creature with a blob of acid. Sangaya formed a mindblade and threw it at the golem but to no affect. The golemm moved forward and tried to hit Morning but missed. Morn and Aust, who had been standing back from the melee both cast spells simultaneously, hitting the golem with acid and cold at the same time. Grey shot at the golem and missed and although Sangaya hit the golem it moved relentlessly forward and hit Morning, stunning her. Morn and Aust both cast their spells again, hitting the golem with cold and acid respectively. Aust's minion tried to hit the golem but missed as did Holly. Sangaya did hit the golem with a mindblade. By now th egolem was looking significantly damaged. The golem hit Aust's minion and she fell over. Morn and Aust cast thier spells again and Holly finally destroyed the golem with a well timed blow.
Once the battle was over the party saw a somewhat strange sight, three pale-skinned children were sitting in a corner, watching them. Despite their best efforts the children would not communicate. Suddenly the party heard a voice in their head of a young girl. She revealed that the three of them had found a pearl which they had broken. On breaking the pearl the golem had appeared and destroyed the fort, killing everyone. With this the firl stepped back and a gateway opened which she stepped through. Morn identified the realm on the other side as that of Nerull.

NRPG: Apologies all, I have lost some of my notes hence the place where I have started this update.
Some weeks later the ships sighted the Isle of Dread in the distance. However by this time a heavy storm was blowing, pushing the ships towards the north side of the island. Although the crew struggled manfully they were unable to prevent the ships beaching on the shore.
The following day the party examined the damage, both sides had taken some damage below the waterline but a few hours work by the lyre would soon fix that. Whilst looking at the ships the party heard a loud roar from both sides of a nearby jungle. Grey immediately moved towards the sound, setting himself up in a position to ambush whatever was making the sound. At that moment two tyrannosaures burst through the treeline, roaring ion anticipation of an easy meal. Sanagaya chanted, forming a soulknife in her hand which she then threw at one of the creatures. At the same time Morning breathed fire on a second tyrannosaurus and it burst into flames. Dorian cast a spell at the first monster and its eyes started to fill with tears, effectively blinding it. Morn used a psionic effect and the other tyrannosaurus became shaken. At the same time Grey unleashed a volley of aroows which struck one of the creatures.
The creature which had only been staggared moved forward and grappled Sangaya whilst the other slowly retreated. Sangaya, in retaliation attempted to hit the creature but failed. Morning, moved forward, and voicing a mighty scream hit the creature. Morn cast a spell and a blast of fire hit the creature. Grey unleashed another salvo of arrows but these failed to hit their targets. Morning hit the tyrannosaur again and it burst into flame. Dorian followed this up by hitting the creature with a magic missile.
Morn cast a further spell behind the second creature and a wall of flame sprang up behind it, cutting off its retreat. Morning unleashed a mighty blow and the first tyrannosaur fell dead. By this time the second creature had move din and Grey fired a further volley against it. Dorain followed this up by casting colour surge at the creature. The tyrannosaurus tried to hit Morning but failed to bite her. Morn mumbled under his breath and a shard of crystal flew out of his hands, striking the creature and criticalling it. With further mighty blows Morning and Grey finished the creature off.

First Post
Aha! Found at last!
Right, i shall hopefully be adding my own thoughts/descriptions at intervals in future.
Also Dan, it looks like we're not done in Scuttlecove just yet, Morn, Nnoitre and Othar are interested in visiting the Orphanage to sort some things out, and we might be swinging by the Violated Ogre as well, just warning you so that you can be ready.
For the orphanage, Morn wants to free the children and take them back to Farshore, while Nnoitre and Othar just want to rough about with the slavers/bad guys, and i believe Aust wants to tag along too, and i don't think it'll take much convincing to persuade Grey and Morning too.
As for the Ogre, i think our intentions differ, Morn wants to find out if he's Evil or insane, if he's good or otherwise not a threat to innocents he'll likely try to free him, and if not put him out of his misery. I think Nnoitre and Othar just want some havok and chaos, so not sure what they plan exactly.

After using the Lyre of Building to repair their ships the party sailed off once more. After a few more hours of sailing and after several months at sea Farshore finally came into sight, but there was something wrong, Farshore appeared to be burning. The part looked on as several triremes and caravels, flying the colours of the Crimson Fleet swarmed ashore, ready to attack. Two main groups appeared to be present, one attacking what appeared to be a chapel, one attacking some kind of mansion. Battle was once again joined.
Moving towards the group that were attacking the mansion Grey managed to sneak up and knock one pirate unconscious before he swung around and hit another pirate before he could reatliate. Morning moved on and cathing four pirates in her field of vision breathed on them. Looking behind the party's posisition Aust spotted another group of pirates coming towards them and cast glitterdust on them, causing all of the villians to become blinded. As a direct result of this they all failed to hit Aust in reply. Sangaya formed a mindblade, throwing it at a pirate, killing him. Morn used a psionic ability and another of the pirates became entangled. Grey, who had moved around into a firing position shot at one of the remaining pirates, killing him. Soon this part of the battle was over.
Moving over to the chapel the party saw that a group of pirates were trying to ram their way in. Grey fired a volley of arrows and three of the pirates fell dead. One of the remaining pirates run towards Grey but a hefty blow from morning brought his evil life to an end. The captain of the pirates shouted out orders as he came running towards the chapel as the party prepared to make a stand, Dorian casting a defensive spell on himself. Morn cast a spell and three of the attacking pirates were thrown at their captain, Slipknot and all four went down in a tangle of limbs, uttering foul oaths. Grey was hit by one of the remaiing pirates but the blow did little damage. By this time Slipknot had got up again and moved towards Grey and Morning. Grey hit Slipknot whilst Morning killed two of the pirates whilst Sangaya hitt another. Sangaya criticalled Slipknot but he spun round and hit Morn. Moving in closer both Grey and Morning struck Slipknot, killing him. At this point the battle was over, the rest of the pirates fleeing in panic.

Once the battle was over one pirate was found sitibg by a tree. He had been unable to run away as both his legs had been broken. Once he saw the party surrounding him he began to talk. He said his name was Lefty and he worked for the Crimson Fleet. He also said that more ships were due to come at some point.
Pondering over this news Lavinia asked to speak to the party and explained that in order to see off this bigger fleet they neede to seek alliances on the island of dread itself, specifically the Olmans and the Phanatoans in order that materials could be bartered for and traded. The party agreed to seek out these tribes and see if they could obtain their aid.

The party agreed to seek out these tribes and see if they could obtain their aid.
Deciding to seek out the Olman tribes first the party sailed to the island of Dread and landed near where they believed the Olman village to be. After a short trek through the jungle they came to what was obviously the village, a small circle of reed huts, not far from two volcanoes. The shaman of th tribe came forward and in halting common explained that he and his tribe worshiped Zotzillahah, an aspect of the earth goddess, Throff.
At this point something strange happened in the centre of the village, a large bat like shape materialised in the centre and started to speak,
"Return, return what was stolen from me. I know you have it. Return it to the heart of Zotzilaha or worse will follow." With this the shape disappeared and was replaced by several glowing fiery bats who started to fly down and attack.
Morn manifested a power and several bolts of extreme colf flew out of his fingers. striking the bats and killing them. Dorian also tried to cast a spell but this had no affect on the creatures. Grey moved forward and striking right and left the remainder of the bats fell dead.
A hush descended on the village, the Olmans crying in disbelief. Finally the shaman spoke, "I don't know why the aspect did that. I only know that the only way to find out is by talking to him. You must go to the Teeth of Zotzilaha, into the heart of the volcano."
A few minutes more trek through the jungle brought the party to the entranceway to the volcano. Moving slowly in they were greeted by the aspect of Zotzilaha. The aspect did not attack immediately but explained that one of the items that the party carried, a bat like idol was stolen from the shrine in ages past. Agreeing to give back the token the party were given various items in replacement and then returned to the village.

On arriving back in the village the party found that an even more distressing event had happened. The chieftain's daughter had been stolen by a large ape-like creature who had appeared from nowhere, grabbed the girl and then teleported away. Searching around Grey noticed some signs of a trail hading east so the party decided to follow it.
After some hours of travel the party came to a clearing from where they could see a large temple like structure in the distance. Suddenly they came under attack, several ape-like creatures moving in and trying to attack but failing. Morn cast a fireball at the creatures and gaot quite a shock when it had absolutely no effect. Aeowa cast haste on the party, allowing them t move quicker and with nore ease. Grey moved in, hitting one of the creatures three times. Nimo followed this up with a spell and one of the creatures fell dead. One of the creatures tried to trip Grey but he managed to nimbly avoid this attempt. Grey hit one of the creatures killing it whilst Aeow cast a spell. The last of these strange creatures lay dead. Examining the bodies Morn identified them as Bar-Igura demons, creatures which were known to be servants of Demogorgon.

Examining the bodies Morn identified them as Bar-Igura demons, creatures which were known to be servants of Demogorgon.
Moving on along the trail Morn and the others could see that it led to the temple. If in any doubt before the party could see quite clearly now that this was a templed to Demorgogon from the statues of his heads that aforned the doorway.
Moving theough the complex they found it largely deserted until they got to the final antechamber. Here they could see the last Bar-Igura demon and on an altar in another corner of the room, the missing villager.
Going straight to the attack Grey shot the bar-igura, Olangru but Olangru teleported away at the last second after screaming for his master to awake. At this point a huge sized statue awakened as it was a Lemorian Golem and started to attack, striking Nimo. Aeowa tried to cast a spell on Olangru but was unable to get through his spell resistance. Morn also tried to cast a spell but this also had no effect. Olangru retaliated by casting dispel magic on Grey, causing some of his protections to drop. Meanwhile the rest of the party had moved backwards shutting the door behind them. The Lemorian Golem burst through the door and Olangru teleported into a better position to attack. Grey hit Olangru whilst Nimo and the others started to withdraw. Once again the golem burst through a closed door. Aeowa cast a spell on Olangru but this provoked from the demon who then teleported behind Nimo, criticalling and killing him. Grey followed this up by killing the golem and Aewa fired a miagic missile at Olangru. With the demon in a sorry state Grey moved forward once again killing him.
Taking the villager and the body ot their fallen colleague back to the Olman village there was much rejoicing and the Olmans pledged their support in the battle to come.
