The party finally has some clues tying together the secret imperial base and the merfolk of Midland Bay after taking a second look at the octagonal room’s dragon pillars — along with another decent haul of treasure. They have not, though, found a way to undo the curse afflicting the fort nor discovered the hidden underground dock described by Carchus the shark. Perhaps the next foray into the dark tunnels will provide the answers they seek … or perhaps it will provide only death.

Book-keeping Notes, Session 50 (4/1/15):

Book-keeping Notes, Session 50 (4/1/15):

– The session concluded with the party returning to the broken oar inn on the 6th of Anurilden around noon.

– The party spent a total of 4 hours and 30 minutes (27 turns) exploring the dungeon on the 6th; that finishes off the partly used lantern oil (9 turns) and uses three hours of another pint, leaving one hour of burning left (6 turns). Another 2 pints would have been used to burn the scorpions (and chicken?) carried to the surface. Adjust inventory accordingly (remember to double lantern usage to cover the hirelings’ light source).

– Deaths: Scorpions, a brave chicken

– Knocked Unconscious: Bard (revived by Brice & Uthruk)

– Level Restored/Drained: No one

Announcements about Players

Announcements about Players

I spoke with Joseph this Friday and he has decided to retire from the campaign. The late Wednesday nights were proving difficult and he felt leaving early was not a good long-term solution. His druid, Hart, will be returning to the Verdant Fellowship gardens in Vargen after determining that adventuring is not for him. However, I’m pleased to announce that Jacob Sturges will be joining the campaign this Wednesday as a ranger named Bard. I’ve been playing with Jacob in a 5E campaign for a couple of months now and he should be a good fit with our group.

Gift Reminder and Session Tweak

Gift Reminder and Session Tweak

First, the reminder: this past holiday, each member of the party received one re-roll that could be used for anything (including HP rolls, Follow Me, And Die!). Also keep in mind that the party as a whole can pick the result of any one roll.

Second, the tweak: The Find Familiar casting last night involved what was essentially a re-roll. Riese Fork, I’m going to count that as Finklemur’s holiday gift.

After taking an extended break from exploring the sub-basement below Kaligan’s fort to sell their loot in Midmark and train, the Starchie Boyz ready themselves for another foray into the undead-infested former imperial base. They have been rewarded handsomely in terms of treasure for their curiosity so far, but have found only a handful of clues about this sealed dungeon’s history. Will they ever find more answers? Could there be more riches to discover? Can their luck continue to hold out?

– Brice and the returning party members can begin training on the 29th of Denrilden. Everyone will be finished with training on 5th of Anurilden (ready to adventure on the 6th)

– The party spent a total of 1 hour (6 turns) exploring the dungeon on the 24th; that leaves one and a half hours (9 turns) of burning time on the lantern’s pint. Another 2 pints would have been used to burn the Drowned One carried to the surface.
