New Adventures in Lloringhold

The Cabin in the Woods and the Cube From my left: Nick playing Merrick the human fighter Catherine playing Ydee the half-elf thief Matt playing Mirin the human spellsword Chris playing Deckard the human ex-fighter thief Sarai playing Desorna the elven axe-maiden Hunter playing Strix the elven magic-user and Zack playing LaVeya the human druid (HEALER FINALLY!!!) As the party rested from the battle against the giant lizard, some of their missing members caught up with the group and one went back to Treefold. Then the adventurers in a more survivable group (with a healer) continued on. Soon the cabin was spotted on top of the ridge over the river and on the far side of the river. Some reasonable efforts were made to get across the river though a unreasonable event happened too. Merrick, by virtue of his ring, walked across the top of the river with a rope that he used an iron spike to affix about six feet off of the ground in a tree while Deckard...

The Next Steps Twinlake Vale to Rimwatch and then North to Treefold (Where Things All Began Years Ago) From my left: Chris playing Deckard the human ex-fighter thief Matt playing Mirin the human spellsword Sarai playing Desorna the elven axe-maiden Hunter playing Strix the elven magic-user and Paige playing Keeva the halfling infiltrator Some of the party trained for their new levels in Twinlake Vale, but not Strix who couldn't afford the training. Instead Strix spent her time staying in Miss Mary's house to the east of Rimwatch. Mary, the older witch who had befriended Strix, had gone to the Archdruid's grove for a meeting and so Strix was taking care of her animals, which included a variety of types such as a bobcat, a wolf, and a bear. One night, while Strix was sleeping, the cells that remained in the partial optic nerve connected to the eye that she had scooped out of the troll's face awoke enough to begin to regenerate. S...

The Day of the Dragon From The Proving Grounds Back to Rimwatch From my left: CATHERINE gracing us with her presence to play Ydee the half-elven thief Matt playing Mirin the human spellsword Nicholas Picholas playing Merrick the human fighter Chris playing Deckard the human ex-fighter thief Zack playing LaVeya the human druid Paige (spelling may vary) playing the new and name-changing halfling infiltrator Sarai playing Desorna the elven axe-maiden Hunter playing Strix the elven magic-user and Nilo playing Kag the human magic-user The adventure began with the party still on the fourth level of the Proving Grounds, but close to the way back to safety. Just through the door they would find the room with the chimes that would return them to safety. As they opened the door they instead found a halfling, alone and worried, who they invited to accompany them back to the safety of the world above. Heading south they played the chimes and were...

The Proving Grounds and Excess Pain and Suffering Last weekend was birthday weekend in my family, but this weekend was birthday weekend for both Matt and myself. So CAKE was to be had, and the diet starts tomorrow for me. -sigh- The Proving Grounds From my left: Nilo playing Kag the human magic-user Matt playing Mirin the human spellsword Chris playing Deckard the human ex-fighter thief Sarai playing Desorna the elven axe-maiden Hunter playing Strix the elven magic-user Zack playing LaVeya the human druid the Most Kind and Generous DM playing Ydee, Catherine's half-elven thief The party started in the 'L' shaped room with the smoldering corpse of the gelatinous cube and lots of black smoke hanging near the ceiling. The secret door in the north wall that they had discovered at the end of last session beckoned, so after there were no traps detected on it, they attempted to open it and pass through. There was no wa...
