December-January

The Descent into the Depths (aka the DM, with his laptop mostly back into service, now plays catch-up) Since we last saw the adventurers they have learned of and gone in search of an item called the Tome of Prophecy, spending some time in an unusual tower before finding themselves in an even more unusual pocket plane where, after dealing with odd gravity, gardens that weren't, animated topiary monsters, and finally being 1/12 their normal size and trying to get through a huge study they found themselves before a withered and wasted very old but still alive man in his office behind the study. The old man made them very uncomfortable but, after deciding that maybe the time was right, he did hand over to them the Tome of Collected Prophecies. He also was amused by Merrick's acquisition of most of the blackened skull of a human-sized person, and he told Merrick some of the very uncomfortable stories behind the skull before sending the party elsewhere, like minor deities do. ...

Into The Tower From my left: Nicholas playing Merrick the 7 th level human fighter New Connor playing Iloxiron the 4 th level half-elven spellsword Mikey playing Ivan Lok'tar the 5 th level dwarven fighter Zack playing LaVeya the 7 th /3 rd level human druid/magic-user and the DM playing Ydee the 7 th level half-elf thief for the absent Catherine The adventure began with the characters at the edge of the roughly 500 foot diameter clearing with the tower in the center of it. The tower was huge: 200 feet on a side and square. Its main body was roughly 300 feet tall and on the very top of the tower was a dome that seemed to glow with a bluish light. The clearing was fairly overgrown with high grasses and brush, but the adventurers could easily see the door into the tower ahead of them. Boldly they moved forward, opened the door, and went in. They entered into an entry hall that was roughly twenty deep by thirty feet wide. A door was in each sid...

November 5, 2017 (yes, late, being busy sucks)

A Long Journey From my left: Nicholas playing Merrick the 7 th level human fighter Evan playing Lyagia the 3 rd level human mystic Mikey playing Ivan Lok'tar the 5 th level dwarven fighter Zack playing LaVeya the 6 th /3 rd level human druid/magic-user New Connor playing Iloxiron the 3 rd level half-elven spellsword and the DM playing Ydee the 6 th level half-elf thief for the absent Catherine The return to Ruinheath was as expected, with little or no difficulty making the jaunt. Once back in town the adventurers take some time to take care of some business. LaVeya has earned enough experience to train to her next level as a druid (4 th level spells! Woohoo!) while Ivan has decided that he wants a little more variety in his life and begins the basic work of learning to be a member of the clergy. While this training was going on, some time was spent in other activities, including going to the Curio Shop every few days to see if th...

An Unforseen Circumstance and a Short Halloween Adventure (with Another Unforseen Circumstance!) From my left: Mikey playing Ivan Lok'tar the 5 th level dwarven fighter Nicholas playing Merrick the 7 th level human fighter Zack playing LaVeya the 6 th /3 rd level human druid/magic-user New Connor playing Iloxiron the 3 rd level half-elven spellsword and the DM playing Ydee the 6 th level half-elf thief for the absent Catherine After half tumbling down the hidden stairs to the third level, the adventurers began exploring their surroundings. The thirty by thirty room the stairs descended into the center of had open exits from the room in the center of each wall. The north and south exits led into thirty foot wide by twenty foot deep rooms with two doors in each room while the east and west passages went thirty feet before coming to an intersection. After some discussion the party went north. The room was relatively barren with doors in t...

The Continuing Visit to the Castle in the Sky From my left: Nicholas playing Merrick the 7 th level human fighter Mikey playing Ivan Lok'tar the 5 th level dwarven fighter Zack playing LaVeya the 6 th /3 rd level human druid/magic-user New Connor playing Iloxiron the 3 rd level half-elven spellsword and the DM playing Ydee the 6 th level half-elf thief for the absent Catherine After using LaVeya's healing spells and resting, the adventurers were mostly ready to face the trials of the Proving Grounds again. Merrick and Ydee were trying to untangle Flever from his pack and harness, but LaVeya said “We got this.” and the druid led the dwarf and spellsword out to explore the second level of the Proving Grounds. Some random wanderings led them through some rooms where they had been previously they ended up back in the thirty by thirty room north of where they appeared when they used the chimes to arrive on this level. The adventurers kne...

The Next Visit to the Castle in the Sky From my left: Nicholas playing Merrick the 7 th level human fighter CATHERINE (yes, really!) playing Ydee the 6 th level half-elf thief Hunter playing Flever Graveltoes the 2 nd level gnome ranger Mikey playing Ivan Lok'tar the 5 th level dwarven fighter and party spokesdwarf Zack playing LaVeya the 6 th /3 rd level human druid/magic-user and New Connor playing Iloxiron the 3 rd level half-elven spellsword Returning to the city of Ruinheath, the party spent a day waiting for the full moon and the teleporter to become active. Luckily Merrick hadn't lost the note and had the activation phrase. The words were said and the party found themselves on top of the tower in the clouds. Descending through blah blah blah, the adventurers found the amulets, though Merrick was the one who failed his save and couldn't enter the room at all, and began descending stairs. A half dozen bugbears menaced them inef...
