Oh, the hidden stars!

Session 15: Did the barrier protect Darianna?

Exploring we will go...

We continued exploring through the door to the south. We found a room full of moldering furniture. We found some valuable old coins, then moved on to the next room to the south. Here we found 3 more doors, one of which was blocked by a divan and nailed sh...

Session 14: Past the barrier

Session 13: Enough Confusion!

So many ways to explore!

We took some time to rest and heal up, then continued exploring. We opened another secret door from the back out of the secret passage. Inside this room we saw a blue skinned woman covered in chains. Mel could not see it, but felt from the description thi...

Session 11: How big is this place?

Continuing Deeper

We returned to the dungeon. We decided to check on Chandriu Invisar to see if she had been laid to rest. As we opened the door we did not see her, so we decided to search the room. Then she came drifting through a wall... When she entered the room she dem...

Session 10: Books and Ghouls and more

Once more into the breach

Healing up after the battle we then decided to head back to town and just be thankful we were all still here! We rested for the night and then headed back in! We picked up where we left off. Following the tunnel we soon found it changed into a more circul...

Session 8: More books and more ghouls?

Back to the Library

We bought some armor & got Mel cured of her disease. We found Augrael reading some books he had pulled from the Library. He again offered to help us, should we need assistance. We found a smell from nearby was piles of dead Ghouls that Augrael had left on...

Session 7: Books and Ghouls?

Haunts Suck!

The group headed down the stairs to explore some more, finding that the stairs did link up where we expected - near the green glow room & Augrael. They found a small cache of magic before going to open a door in the hall across from the green glow room. I...

To kill a king

We looked around the rest of the level, finally heading back to where we had encountered the Morlock King. After a brief battle, we defeated him and the lackey we found with him. It was apparent why he was the King, as he was very hard to hit! Afterward, ...

Session 4: Hunting the mushroom-eyed people

Lighthouse Cellar

We looked around the room, taking in the decrepit surroundings. We found quite a few debris filled rooms nearby. We searched but found nothing of value or interest. We eventually found another room with 2 larger (medium) Morlocks. They were working on som...

Session 3: Abomination Vault Continuation

Exploring the ground level... before the basement!

As we advanced into the room we saw an altar with large stained glass windows behind it. We also noticed the 2 skeletons off to one side start to glow & stand up! We defeated them, but not before the 2nd one managed to drop Mel, then Griska, in rapid succ...

Investigating the Light House

We spent some time attempting to bandage wounds, without success, & diagnosed Mel with Fly Pox. She was really not feeling well... Graklak also was feeling a little off. These swamps must be making people feel off. We decided to explore a bit more. Griska...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 13: Behind the Mask

The garment molded to Wendlyn’s body immediately, smoothing itself against her in a seamless second skin. The gloved fingers sealed themselves over her own, and the claws felt instantly natural as extensions of her hands. The black spiral silenced her b...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 12: Inkboil Spring

In the room beyond the secret door, the stolen books lay dissected. Eleukas could think of no other word to describe what he saw. The missing books—or, at least, selected pages from the missing books—had been cut loose as neatly as if by a viv...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 11: Four Faces of Evil

Anyone dead?” Wendlyn coughed into the dust of the tunnel’s collapse. “Not me,” Lisavet croaked, although that was at least half a lie. Her body felt like one massive, throbbing ache, with more intense flares of pain along her left arm and a...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 10: Collapse

The kobolds’ alarm horns rang through the cavern. Gristleburst froze for a beat on the climbing ropes, stunned by the shock of discovery and the sheer tide of noise rising up from the eerie green lights below. Then, cursing, the goblin anchored hi...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 9: The Warren

To Eleukas, the Fangsparks’ warren was nothing short of a nightmare. He’d lived his life under open air and warm sun, his world bounded by the salt breezes and endless horizon of Otari’s harbor and the rich green majesty of its forests. Ventur...

06:33 pm - 14.04.2022

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 8: Welcoming Hands

Silence reigned in the forest around the Fangsparks’ camp. It was nothing like the air of serene reflection around Stone Ring Pond, nor was it the reverential hush of learning that filled the Dawnflower Library during reading hours. No. This qui...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 7: Stone Ring Pond

We’re not really going to steal from Worliwynn, are we?” Eleukas whispered as they headed toward Stone Ring Pond. “Of course not,” Wendlyn said. The kindly gnome druid was revered in Otari for her wisdom and her practical advice on steward...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 6: The Last Gullcracker

When the last of the zombies had collapsed into a smoldering heap, Gristleburst hopped down from his tree. Smoke drifted slowly over the bodies of the dead, and a burning redpitch pine spat flaming sap into the night, but nothing else moved in the darkne...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 5: The Redpitch Grove

Eleukas didn’t sleep much that night. The events of the past few days had shaken his conception of the world. Otari was a peaceful town. Maybe a little small and sleepy, maybe the kind of place that big-city outsiders dismissed as a backwater, but...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 4: Gambler's Curse

Two days later, they went to Lisli’s boarding house, a windowless shack downstream from the fishery that reeked of rotting fish and abandoned garbage. Wendlyn hadn’t expected that Osgrath would be living in the lap of luxury, but she was still shocked...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 3: Dawnflower's Blessing

Lisavet loved the Dawnflower Library. Peace and wisdom radiated from its sunlit shelves. Through the central dome’s great windows, she could glimpse the minarets on either side, reminders of how mortals could aspire toward the heights of heavenly ...

Shroud of Four Silences - Chapter 2: Oddities

Cool water sluiced over Eleukas’s face. Soft cloth mopped across his cheeks, gently but thoroughly. He opened his eyes, and was astonished to find he could see. Everything was blurry, and his eyes stung abominably, but he was alive, and he wasn’t bli...
