With the first cave fully explored and yielding nothing but dead ends, the party needs to find a way to get up to the second cave. This one is a solid 250ft above the riverbed, meaning that it’s going to take a little bit more than a wing and a prayer to get up there. …
Although Fyn, Fobias, and Trace are squeezed as they teleport back up to the dragon’s cave, their damage is mainly superficial. They stage the giant bodies in a way that suggests a greedy scuffle in which the giants argued over hoard before stealing it for themselves. Thanks to Fobias’ stealthy scent-masking, the party feels confident …
Who Watches the Watchtower? With a POP the party is atop the watchtower, face-to-face with a huge taiga giant! They immediately encircle their foe, and Fyn blasts her with cone of cold after checking the ol’ memory banks that taiga giants don’t have resistance to frigid conditions. Unfortunately, their arrival causes the giant to shout …
Fyn’s Flashback: The Squad The hot afternoon sun beats down on the barren earth below. A single bead of sweat coalesces on Fyn’s temple. He stares intently into the distance from behind a rocky outcrop along the side of the Iron Peaks. The bead of sweat breaks from his temple, running down the side of …

Sheriff Hemlock requests assistance in returning the town …
Longtooth devours the fake image of Krask while the real kobold looks on in horror. Will this be his fate? Torn limb from fragile limb? While he observes, Krask realizes that the dragon is smaller than he remembers. And although he can’t make out the imagery etched into the amulet, Krask still can’t place what’s …
Trace holds his shield steady as the dire bears and stone giant close in on them. Fyn quickly casts an invisibility spell on Barnaby, allowing him to quickly scramble out of the way and avoid attacks of opportunity on the way out. As Barnaby chugs a potion, Krask fires a barrage of arrows at the …
Sandpoint is under attack! Interestingly enough, I used that line way back in the Episode 2 recap! Something about things changing but always being the same. The Northern Gates Our heroes rush to the northern gates, which are barricaded with an assortment of overturned wagons and heavy barrels. They scramble up the ladders to the …
Fully rested and ready to roll out of the Kreeg tunnels, the party begins planning out their limited time to tie up any loose ends before they leave the region.
