Scale Broken

About halfway through our journey to meet with the Metallic dragons our dragoness ride stopped in a remote mountain location so we could rest for the night. She then took off on some other errand or other. In the middle of the night we were set upon by ...

We arrived on the other side of the strange door to find ourselves in a small ante chamber, leading into a much larger chamber where we could already make out the silhouettes of a number of humanoids along with a rather large magical portal at the far end...

The strange rooms continued. Each seemingly even more bizarre and out of place than the last. There was a forge themed room, with lava everywhere. The fiery elemental we fought there was truly difficult to take out. A tropical paradise with a disturbi...

The dig site we traveled to was disturbingly quiet. As we explored the early excavation areas we found quite a bit of foot traffic, with Conrad noting that his colleagues had eventually raced deeper in, being followed by members of the Jade Company merce...

The ‘damsel in distress’ turned out to be an Elven Druid who was simply posing as a damsel in distress. Upon rendering aid (which she did not, in fact, need); she gave us a blessing, along with some rather powerful garlands that protected us from...

Following the trap that the Cult of the Dragon set specifically for us I’ve spent some real time meditating on our position and role. Our little mismatched group has largely been running about, nearly non-stop, reacting to various events as they have u...

The voyage back to Waterdeep from the Sea of Moving Ice was blessedly uneventful, at least from an adventurer’s point of view. This gave me time to finally refine the haul of raw gem ore we’d picked up in the Beholder’s lair. We did stop in both Lu...

Unsurprisingly the locals were not intent on helping us. Rhumor overhead a plan to poison us, and did warn us in time. After a rather candid chat with the village elder, she agreed to truly give us some information that was useful. We decided amongst o...

I begin to wonder if Waterdeep secretly has some curse on it. Nearly every time I am here I am in a rush. Rhumor and I set off to do some shopping to replenish our stores, and to give ourselves a few upgrades before facing the trials that await us in th...

In the wake of the destruction wrought by Nuri’s powerful storm spell and the broken bodies left by the huge gorilla that was Virgil, this strange looking throne room for the Yuan-ti was suddenly quiet and still. Conrad began the ritual to try and ...

Qotl, through Chitikas had charged me with clearing all of the Yuan-ti and their evil from this place, and as we ventured forth into the hidden cave system behind and below Diderus’ tomb, it became apparent this would be no simple task as I’d initiall...

Further exploration revealed a strange sluice next to a water well – with blood smears disturbingly similar to those we’d seen outside. We doubled back to try and delve deeper, only for Rhumor to trigger a pressure plate that released a horrid giant ...

After leaving the temple built by, or for, Trella we returned to Elturel briefly. Virgil commissioned an amateur adventuring group to go back to the temple to retrieve the Beholder in hopes of getting it stuffed. Why he wants such a grotesque looking th...

Here, deep in the earth, we found some sort of structure. Perhaps of Dwarven design, but undeniably impressive. Periodically fighting off more of the disgusting Troglodytes, some of whom were definitely more dangerous than their inferior kin we’d prev...

The death of Oblex came none too soon. Virgil and I were both in pretty rough shape when it finally melted away. Underneath thee disgusting ooze that remained was a curiously small box that was rigged up with a rather vicious looking trap. Rhumor manag...

We began our infiltration of the town of Leafside quite cautiously, using the heavy storm and cover of night to move about undetected. The first building we went into appeared to be empty, and seemed to have been such for quite some time, save for be...

Faerun is such a strange place. After the Council of Waterdeep meeting we spent a few more days in Waterdeep while we waiting for the magical items commissioned by Nuri and Virgil. I spent my time brewing potions to be better prepared for the trials ahe...

Leaving the warehouse our little group was looking pretty ragged. We were all looking forward to a bath and a good chunk of time to rest and rejuvenate. It was not meant to be. As we made our way through the streets we were unexpectedly accosted by m...

I know that every city has its problems. There is no such thing as the perfect place. They all will have some form or another of issue, be it crime, greedy nobles, or simply being marred by the machinations of a few power hungry narcissists. Even knowin...

At long last. We finally made it back to Waterdeep. Though it has only been a few weeks since we passed through here, it feels as though it was ages ago. I finally get to enjoy the City of Splendors! Upon sighting the city we landed just outside o...

The calm and scenic view I write this from is such a welcome change. Nestled in the wide valley created by the rising Crags to the North, the Surbrin Hills to the East, and the Starmetal Hills to the West, I can just make out where the edge of the Neverw...

Skyreach Castle. We made it. I still can’t really believe I am here. The one place I most wanted to go to, and my journey in tracking down the Cult of the Dragon has led me to that very place. Perhaps the gods do take an interest in mortal affairs af...
