Rule Clarification for Session 58 (5/27/15):
Good news, everyone! My recollection of the level drain rule was incorrect last night. A check of the DMG shows that a character only loses enough experience points to bring them to the mid-point of the lower level. So, instead of one point above the minimum, Axel is at the midpoint of 4th level (prior to the new experience awards).
Treasure Gained (Session 58, 5/27/15):
1. Plain Gold Ring
2. Wrought gold & silver choker

5. Stone disk (~ 1′ diameter; identical to party’s) on silver chain
6. Small card-like object with Silver Throne constellation design on it
7. Silver armlet with two stones (marbled grey)
?. Mystery Item in list above that gives the party 3,000XP
PC Shares (XP): 500XP

Player Recruitment, 5/21/15
I have updated the Roll20 page for the campaign so that the player advertisement goes live again. If past experience is any guide, there should be a few players looking to join. Of course, if you know someone from another game that might be interested, please let me know and I will give that person priority.
Book-keeping Notes, Session 57 (5/20/15):
– The session ended on the other side of a portal in Xen’Khel; the hirelings (excepting Kottar and Sturloc) have stayed behind in the Lower City temple. It is just after 3pm on the 21st of Anurilden.
– Deaths: No one
– Knocked Unconscious: No one

Having figured out the purpose of the disk-key discovered months ago in the tombs beneath Midmark, the party steps through the looking glass and into a strange — and apparently abandoned — fortress. Are they still beneath the Mikhel Peaks and Xen’Khel? Have they found an undisturbed ancient dwarven settlement? How dangerous is it and why is that corpse trying to grab Axel?
Check-in on State of the Party on the Doorstep of Xen’Khel
The party will be without the services of Finkelmur for the next five weeks while Riese gets ready for college and Belroar will be delayed each session due to Jacob’s night court internship. First, congratulations and good luck to both of them — this is good news and there is certainly no problem with either of them remaining in the campaign. Things come up in life — at least these are good things.
I did want to take the pulse of the remainder of the party, though. Does anyone else foresee any summer-time conflicts with our usual game time? Also, should I try to recruit any new players or are you satisfied with the number of PCs right now (i.e., Axel, Thorfus, Chuq, and Uthruk)? I don’t think it’s giving away any secrets to say that you’re about to enter some very dangerous areas, so more may be better; on the other hand, you do have a small army of hirelings, so perhaps it is a non-issue.
Anyway, please let me know your opinions in the comments on this post.
Treasure Gained (Session 56, 5/13/15):
1. Strange Dwarf Mask: 5,000XP for use
PC Shares (XP): 714XP
Talon’s Share (XP): 357XP*
* No XP for Brice until she trains to 3rd level

The party has entered the lower city of Xen’Khel, passing the judgment of the Naga Sisters. Four of their number were hidden from the creature’s second sight, but they could find no trace of ill intent to deny the group’s petition. They now stand in the Hall of Pillars at the end of the winding road down from the surface. Hundreds of feet below the mountain peak, they pause a moment to get their bearings. Ahead lies the temple from Brice and Thorfus’s visions, but what awaits the group in the darkness of this dead city?
