The Things You Find in the Dark

Image
As told by Nathia Truthfist Blurb's giant spider took out one of the remaining jaculi and Greeba beheaded the last one. As Arnor attacked, even while blinded, he hit one and missed the other. Joell began to make his way back to where Arnor was holding off the kenku, drawn by the sounds of battle. The kenku viciously attacked Arnor, who could finally see again, and this time he was able to withstand their ghost wing attack. He saw a "witch-like" kenku approaching and called out a warning.  Ted, nearly dead, readied a rope to escape down. The effects of too much quicksilver potion had strained his wits.  I ran to Arnor and was able to strike a couple of blows at the kenku inside the doorway, then I moved back so that others could take up the battle. Arnor nearly filled the doorway and dwarfed the kenku. He pushed one of them back and moved forward, hoping to let others through. For his troubles he was attacked again and again, and once more by the witchy one. She cast bligh...

An Escort into Madness

Image
As told by Nathia Truthfist We had been tasked with escorting Sirondar, something that sounded simple enough. We started off from Gorlock's Palace -- ah, it had been some time since I had been there but things were much the same -- and met up with Ted there, who joined us. Braltak was also there and seemed sad that Greeba had to leave so soon. He invited her to visit. We set off for Leefield. It was a market town known for timber and cows and...well, that is what it looked like. Fields and trees. We met Olos, who told us of some trouble in town, though he seemed to take an instant dislike to Gorlock, which was unusual. Even so, he took us to the Council after some free drinks. We met them at the Village Hall. There was Simmon, the Blacksmith, and Joshua Kairnley, a Ranger.  They told us that a farm had been razed, but it did not seem like a natural attack. Is any attack natural? I might have asked that once. At any rate, they thought it might have come from the wood. I asked the ra...

A return to the Barrowmaze

Image
Joell had ventured into the Barrowmaze along with Mac and some other adventurers and was so excited by the prospect of more loot that he talked everyone else into heading in again, though Gorlock spent some time gambling (and winning, for once!) and Greeba recruited another assistant (a delicate-looking half-elf, more's the pity). So, they headed in, bringing along Ted, Mac's half-brother, who always seemed to be smoking...something. And Liam, a halfling that Ted was well acquainted with. The weather was surprisingly good and they made their way through the forbidding area with little trouble. They neared one barrow (33) with human boot tracks outside, already open. Inside they find an open sarcophagus with a mummy lying face down on the ground nearby it. Taking no chances, they torched the mummy. Gorlock with his jeweller's eye, spies a fancy ring (530 gp) and grabs it. They continue on to a still sealed barrow (38) and Eamon gets to work.  It was a narrow crypt 10' w...
