EPISODE FORTY-ONE: Any Port in a Storm (Level 15)

The Players:

Mike Eagar (Sadhai)

Kent Lloyd (Kloric)

Adam Rodger (Arhuzimel)

DM: Kristy Eagar



Sailing away from the scene of the battle and dropping anchor for a while, the crew took a few hours to rest and make makeshift repairs to The Bone Dragon. Nirvani lay deathly ill from the toxic effects of the Aboleth spit on her injured back. She would need whiteroot to counteract the poison, an herb she explained was not in her pack.

Setting sail again, they came across a lone heathfolk woman defending a small rowboat, firing pistols at several Kuo-Tua attackers. A dead man lay bleeding in her boat. Kloric, Arhuzimel, and Sadhai dashed to the rescue and amazed the beautiful heathwoman. Once safe, she introduced herself as Maralash Buth, the captain

EPISODE FORTY: In Mount Fayrlin’s Shadow (Level 15)

DM: Graham Ward



As the Bone Dragon entered dragonborn territory, the crew could see slithering, semi-aquatic creatures slipping in and out of rocky islands and reefs. They were clad in loin cloths and of various dull colors. Soon they were skirting the coast of a large island, not more than a few miles south of its shore. Mount Fayrlin, the center of dragonborn settlement, reared up from the island’s westernmost beaches.

Two of the crewmen, Black and Bradley, were soiled with a strange mucus that turned them into mindless aggressors. Sadhai had them tied to the main mast. Nirvani examined their state and determined there was no hope of recovery. They had

The festivities following the retaking of Maricuälatán went on through the night. Fastus wandered off into inebriation, Sadhai and Nirvani had their first kiss (which didn't end well), and Arhuzimel was nowhere to be seen. In the morning, some discussion determined that despite the absence of Arhuzimel and Fastus (neither of whom were on good terms with Nirvani), the remaining adventurers should track down Baden Mirillo.

His trail led north along the high road. Sadhai soon realized they were on the road to the abandoned necropolis

Nirvani dozed for a moment while tending to Arhuzimel. While sleeping, she felt carried away in a vision.

She stood on the top of an enormous tower made of stone, thousands of miles from the ground. Beside her was a large, black lion. She could see far into the depths of the sky, where stars and planets wheeled in mighty power. In the distance she saw the Shadowfell, an orb of mist and darkness surrounded by cold, black space. Beside the planet, there was a disk of light, swirling and disappearing through some portal. The shadowfell was slowly swallowed into the black hole.

The spiders crept along the ceiling into the personal quarters of the High Chief, which they found occupied by a sleeping Torquos. As they stepped forward, a trap sprung from a sagging bag of bloody flesh hanging from the ceiling above the bed. It shot a web of gory sinew that wrapped around Sadhai. He managed to pull it off and dice it up on the floor.

A shriek issued from the trap, waking Torquos and sounding the fortress’ alarm. As the attackers pummeled Torquos, he melted into a puddle of blood, and oozed out an arrow slit onto the tiered walls. Kloric flew out above the

Having no time to wait for the construction of five saddles, Sadhai urged the party forward. They rode the griffons bareback, picking a path up the mountainous country surrounding Sundered Valley. In the north pass, just a few hundred yards from the goatherd’s cabin, Nirvani’s corpse started wiggling in its embalming linens. When Sadhai had carefully unwrapped her face, she gasped for air. “Get me out of this!” she said.

“You’re dead!”

With a little bewilderment Sadhai helped her out of the wrappings and introduced her to Inaya. She apparently

EPISODE THIRTY-THREE: Nahua (Level 13)

The Players:

DM: Kristy Eagar

Sadhai, Lirrech, and Arhuzimel followed Inaya as she skipped down the path. She led them to a part of the cliff nearby where a waterfall poured into a deep pool with a stream. A firepit and mossy log-seats around it indicated that this campsite was often used by travelers along the nearby trade road leading to Ykhel. The party washed away the filth and blood of Madryth, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and warm morning weather.

Next, they tended to Sadhai's injury. Showing remarkable skill for a one-armed man, Sadhai clenched his flint-stone in his teeth, and lit a fire by striking it with his dagger. He heated a sword in the fire,

The heroes launched their assault on the tentacles. Inaya attempted to manipulate the aquatic beast from a distance with her psychic power, while the others took pot shots with improvised weapons or their Fist attacks. After some time, Inaya managed to lift the creature out from the water, making it hover just above the surface of the water. It was then they all saw that the tentacles belonged to two thrashing aberrations, not one. She launched the kraken she had lifted back into the water at its partner, damaging both, but sending a tidal wave across the stone bridges that held the heroes aloft. Lirrech was sent into the water,

A sharp tingling sensation accompanied the group’s entrance into Madryth through the portal. They found themselves on small stones about two feet in diameter, suspended in the air. More stones stretched out in all directions around them, all hovering in a grid-like spread every five or six feet. To the left, the right, forward, backward, upward, and downward, the stepping stones hovered as far as they could see, set against the backdrop of a thick, cloudy, red nebula.

After some time of experimenting with opening portals and the new physics of Madryth, they discovered the following information.
