The Battle For Rimwatch View From Twinlakes to Rimwatch View and What Happened There The adventurers of the day from left to right: Nilo playing Arden the halfling cleric long enough to have him take a break and perform church service instead of tithing before changing to Kag the human neophyte magic-user Nick playing Merrick, human fighter and slaughterhouse king Chris playing Deckard Stormfallow, human ex-fighter now thief who prepares for threats as well as can be done Sarai playing Desorna the elven fighter whose dreams are full of “forget...” Hunter playing Strix, elven magic-user and offender of the God of Chaos. You want challenges and strife, mortal? Here you go. Zack playing LaVeya, human druid who is a frustrating 23 experience points from second level. “23 points! Can I find a kobold and kill it for 23 points? Is Strix worth 23 points?” And, as usual, the DM playing Catherine's half-elven thief and wealthy mercenary Ydee. ...

Descent Into The Cursed Valley Wandering from the Rim into the Cursed Valley The very few adventurers of the day, from left to right: Chris playing Deckard Stormfallow, human ex-fighter now thief trainee, pamphlet scribe, and one who leaves the table at exactly the wrong time. Sarai playing Desorna, elven fighter who can always take one more hit. Always. Bring it. Hunter playing Strix, elven magic-user and abuse magnet, especially from Gods she insults Zack playing LaVeya, a neophyte human druid because the party needed a healer ANY kind of healer, and this was what was already made and ready to go And, by divine fiat, the DM playing Ydee, Catherine's half-elven thief and eviscerator and, unfortunately, occasionally all but eviscerated. The party began on the ridge overlooking the Cursed Valley as a large winged figure rose up from the forests below and flew vaguely in the party's direction before turning east. As it did so Ydee grabbed...

Return to the Hidden Citadel and then South Random Acts of Adventuring The very few adventurers of the day, from left to right: Nilo playing Arden, halfling cleric and long-suffering healer Chris playing Deckard Stormfallow, human fighter, pamphlet scribe, and holder of the awesome DM's Screen Sarai playing Desorna, elven fighter and easily distracted SQUIRREL! What? Zack playing Ahri, elven magic-user who is ready to drop a lightning bolt, any time, any place, so long as Desorna's down range And, by divine fiat as usual, the DM playing Ydee, Catherine's half-elven thief and mostly sitting this out without pay mercenary The party began this adventure with Deckard paying for training yet again as he made another level after his impressive one-on-one battle against the Gallium Golem. While in town the party was distracted chasing different goals and daydreams, so only a portion of the core returned to the citadel in an attempt ...

The Hidden Treasure Chambers Further Explorations of the Hidden Citadel The adventurers of the day: Matt playing Nova Halfnote III, halfling cleric and short term healer Nick playing Merrick, human fighter and boundless fountain o' rage Evan playing Bard Ike, human bard and practitioner of random songs and mule-friend Chris playing Deckard Stormfallow, human fighter and ranged golem slayer Sarai playing Desorna, elven fighter and occasional problem child Zack playing Ahri, elven magic-user who is knock, knock, knocking your door And, by divine fiat once again, the DM playing Ydee, Catherine's half-elven thief and “You owe me more for all I have to do.” The party began in town after slowly half-dragging Desorna back from the citadel after her reduction to -1 hit point. After slightly more than two weeks spent resting up and training for her fifth level, the party was champing at the bit and ready to go again. But a lot had happened in ...

Something Odd Is Happening Here. . . The Exploration of the Hidden Citadel The Proving Grounds Adventure, from my left: Nick playing Rowena, gnome mystic and latest to be astounded by this party Chris playing Deckard Stormfallow, human fighter and future dual class threat Sarai playing Desorna, elven fighter and mapping maven Hunter playing Strix, elven magic-user and miserable paragon of cleanliness Zack playing Ahri, elven magic-user and random spellcaster And, by divine fiat once again, the DM playing Ydee, Catherine's half-elven thief and renowned eviscerator The party began by waking up to discover that Arden and Merrick had somehow set off a teleporter trap during the night, spiriting them both away and leaving a confused gnome mystic in their stead. While she was confused and concerned, Rowena agreed to join the party in the hopes of being able to escape this place that had claimed the lives of the members of her previous party. One quick Deus Ex Machina resolve...

One Session, Two Adventure Locations The Adventures in The Halls Of Wandering, The Way Home, and The Return to the Hidden Citadel The Proving Grounds Adventure, from my left: Nick playing Merrick the human fighter and increasingly furious chop-o-matic Catherine playing Ydee the half-elven thief and tired mercenary Chris playing Valandil the elven spellsword and enhancing cutting machine Sarai playing Desorna the elven fighter and for once not paralyzed hackbot Hunter playing Strix the elven magic-user and stumbling grungemaiden Zack playing Ahri the elven magic-user and chaotic spellmage And the DM making some decisions for Nilo's halfling cleric and frustrated healbot Arden. The adventure as usual began in Ivy's room. The difference was that Strix was in such bad condition after her near death experience that she was going to be less useful than usual. But the party had the bear token and were determined to get through the door an...
