Sounds of scuttling feet are heard from the northern and eastern, as a pair of vampiric skulks join the battle. Their camouflaged skin makes them difficult to discern in the low-light of the cavern. Longtooth roars, and savagely knocks Fobias unconscious. He is ripe for the picking by the advancing skulks. Richard bounds forward, protecting …
The party learns the name of this hungry skulk: Morgiv. He seems to be slightly apprehensive and cautious, but is generally forthcoming with the party’s questions. It helps that Trace is leading the diplomatic questioning. Morgiv is part of the Spared, a group of skulks that were driven out from the surface of Xin-Shalast at …
Krask quickly devises a plan that he believes will allow him to escape this caper with his life. He leads the kuchrima sentries towards the group, speaking loudly in his conversation with them. Hopefully the party will hear him. The kobold leads the guards to a pile of rocks, which he describes as his alleged …
Now that two of the cloud giants are completely out of the picture, thanks to Fyn’s spell, the remaining enemies are much easier to manage. Trace steps through the dangerous range of the morningstar, but comes out unscathed. Richard can’t say the same, as he proves to be an ample target for these cave-dwelling giants. …
As the party sits in the Fen of the Icemists, they converse with Svevenka to learn as much about Xin-Shalast as possible. In order to see the path forwards, Fyn needs to fast for seven days before his hunger is pure enough to see the ghostly outline of the River Avah that leads towards the …
Barnaby comes to his senses and is immediately peppered with questions from the party. Is it really him? His recollection of his time in Pharasma’s Boneyard is foggy, and it doesn’t really make anybody excited to go there. Overall, it seemed rather drab. After everything is in order, our heroes break out the missing pages …
Barnaby’s life stands on the edge of a knife. With the wendigo closing in for the kill, the party can do nothing except helplessly look on as their resident Swashbuckler becomes victim of the outsider’s fury. The players, on the other hand, have more agency than that. They throw bottlecaps at the situation in a …
Fyn is gone. Panicked beyond belief, our resident wizard teleports away from the scene to seek refuge in the comfort of familiarity. This leaves our party to fend off a giant ice worm and a raving ghost dwarf without the aid of his powerful spells. Fobias and Trace square off against Karivek. Over the course …
The party calms Barnaby down as the panic leaves him. Outside, the temperature continues to plummet, and visibility is severely limited. Everyone decides it would be best to head back inside the cabin and explore the remaining rooms. As they walk inside, however, Barnaby and Krask make out the faint sound of knocking coming from …
Having stepped on a trapped step, Trace leaps forward and manages to catch himself on the stairway. Unfortunately, the metal chain and bucket swinging from the winch above the stairwell begins to thrash violently. It animates, attempting to wrap around the paladin’s neck. Krask begins firing arrows at the chain, which is a perfectly normal …
