Giant Octopus just wants to hug.

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

The troubling fact about Sodden Hold is that it’s full of water. This might not come as a suprise, given its name, nor would anyone be suprised that a paladin clad in a metal sheath would sink more than swim, but what WAS suprising was the giant octopus that lurked in the watery tunnels beneath […]

Will the real mimic please stand up?

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Well, the Sodden Hold lived up to its name, a ramshackle warehouse covered in salty moss and mildew. Inside, we found a group of mimics, which we wasted little time defeating, then Carl wasted no time finding a pit trap. After searching, we found our way into an ajoining chamber, an impromptu prison of sorts….

Dim Lights, Big City

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Ah, Fangsfall. The free city. What a joke. I had to bribe the guards 50 ducats just to get in the gate without wasting a week waiting in line. After some aimless wanderings, we ran afoul of the town sage, who was very interested to see our worm-doo. After some exchange of cruft, he offered […]

What came first, the cockatrice or the egg?

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Once we had felled the lizardman chief and his guards, we quickly surveyed the scene of the carnage. Shortly thereafter, the lizard-druid came back, captives in tow. He fed a restorative draught to the apprentice, who lost no time in asking after her missing possessions. Meanwhile, we had her translate for us to the druid, […]

A Hero’s Fall

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Once within the Lizardman stronghold, we wasted no time in alerting the defenders to our presence, mostly by cleaving their limbs and bodies asunder. While it seemed that the saurians were going to put up a determined but ultimately futile defence, we were soon shocked to discover one of the lizardmen was infested with these […]

Who lurks in the murk?

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

The survivors of the Blackwall garrison informed us that the lizardmen we slew were not the only ones who raided them, some having carried off a group of captives, earlier in the day, including, much to my annoyance, the selfsame apprentice who we travelled here to meet. One member of the garrison, a grimy half-orc […]

Go north, young man

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Well, after a vigorous round of pawnshop visits and item appraisal, we’ve had a few blissful weeks off, resting up from our ordeals in the Undercroft of the Ebon Aspect. However, providence has moved its implacable hand to usher us northward, toward Blackwall Keep. Woolery’s master has asked us to escort his apprentice there, to […]

Cleaning out the basement

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Well, as to why we were back in the Undercroft, I’m not exactly sure. There was some mention of ‘cleaning the place out’, and I guess that meant we were going down there to see what treasures the leader of the Ebon cultists had stashed away in his headquarters. When we got back to […]

Happily Ever After?

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

Why is it that you never wake up rested when you’ve been knocked senseless in battle? At any rate, it looks like Kandu got the better of the Faceless One, mainly because we’re all alive and she’s carrying his severed head. I guess it’s time to head back to town and bang the dents out […]

Whoops! Got your face!

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

Going back down into the mines, after our last threshing at the claws of 10,000 birdmen may not seem like the best of ideas, but is better than remaining in town and subject to Smenk’s tender mercies. So here we go, back down past the mine, into the Cathedral of the Ebon Aspect. Lord knows […]
