The mebhaighl closes in on me from all sides. Overwhelming. All goes black.

I came back to my senses again. My head aching with the power released and infused into the temple. The complex is under assault! By attacking the integrity of the wards placed in and around the temple complex a lot of energy coursed through the buildings, assailing those attuned to magic. I was not the only one who was knocked senseless. Other priests and minor wizards lay moaning or still in the hallway. It took me a

Personal Note of the Author:

We are currently actually in between 2 Tomb of Horror chapters. The DM confided he intends to start the next chapter of the Tomb of Horror’s when we are at or near level 14. We achieved level 12 after the session of the 23^rd. So we have a while for some ‘side quests’. Apart from putting his co-ego to rest, Nuryam has a few things he’d like to delve into (the dwarves of the ancient missing kingdom that serve the Magien now for example).

We’re getting used to each other’s paragon level powers quite quickly. I can really see the power-up we’ve gone through. And

Absent: None. --> OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a while since everyone was present at once. It was a nice evening with some fun tests that our DM put forth for us to overcome. So let’s continue the story…

With the sudden change of temperature also came new smells and sounds. We found ourselves near a busy bazaar in what looks to be Khinasi lands. A voice from behind confirms that suspicion as Sherabb is addressed by a stately looking man, a wizard by the looks of it. After exchanging some unfriendly lines we gather that it is Sherabb’s brother who is in the employ of the local emira. And the emira was there as well, gracing us with her presence and offering a challenge between brothers…

Absent: Barsjt, Snorri

The grizzly caverns in which the trolls have laired have one distinct feature which I will never forget: the meandering fetid stream with body parts bobbing up and down. I can describe how it looks, but no words can capture the smell. I don’t know if I will ever stop tasting that foul smell every time I think of that parade of cadavers.

That putrid stream is what parts us from the trolls and iron gorgon that move towards us in a very threatening manner. No wonder, since we are invading their perverted home. Several smaller sized trolls pick up rocks along the way and prepare to throw them our way.

OOC: Since I could not be present, one of the others kept me up to date through twitter....

gulerin Waiting in the tavern for a guide to take us to the trolls. He just arrived... #dnd

gulerin Our guide will be the 12yo grand daughter. It's gonna be a baby-sitting troll slaying fest. #dnd

gulerin We need to climb some mountains. Something I'm very good at... #dnd 

gulerin Climbing didn't go so well. We failed our skill challenge.#dnd

gulerin Snorri triggers a trap on the small mtn path and rubble comes thundering down. I teleport to safety of course. No casualties. #dnd

OOC: Jokul also wrote down a more elaborate journal on the events where as mentioned before Barstj and Nuryam are not present...

While we are on our way to the mysterious Temple of Rilni to find out more about the attempts to corrupt feywild realms, trolls seem to think of us as a nice catch. Suddenly we find ourselves surrounded by five of the brutes. One shaman-like, one really big and others average big with extra sharp fangs. Jokul confirms we are up against trolls and informs us we will require acid and fire damage to lay them low once and for all. A good challenge to try out the powers we unlocked in ourselves during our stay in the Fey realm (OOC our first paragon level combat is about to ensue).

Without going into too many details, the fight was pretty hard. The trolls grabbed multiple people and dealt great damage

OOC: Our DM decided to take us back to the moment we killed the vine-creature and flesh out the events that follow it. May sound strange to some, but it makes sense. He told us the material rewards and that we had levelled so we could update the character builder for this session. Also he needed to know what general direction we would go to prepare the next part of the story. The immaterial rewards and insight into the Fey realm are not transferred in two lines. So this journal entry describes the events that follow our hard fought victory.

Defeating the creatures left us in a mess. But still the lady was not in this room. A large door stood slightly ajar. While the others recuperated and debated

Since the last journals above and the present (July 2010) we have played on a regular basis with the same group. We are about to enter wonderful world of the paragon paths and our kind DM (Madfox11) has decided to plunge us into the 4th edition version of Tomb of Horrors… The adventure has been adapted to fit into the BirthRight setting that our campaign is set in. 

I intend to keep this journal updated as much as possible. It will contain spoilers of Tomb of Horrors. Please keep in mind that this journal is written from the perspective of Nuryam (the aloof Eladrin Wizard I play) and his advisor; a mighty mad wizard who is currently imprisoned in Nuryam’s mind. I am SURE the other players see things differently (obviously they are wrong). 

What transpired between this and the previous
