Progress. I think?

I have set out to find my place in the world. I joined some others for a simple caravan guard detail. We left the city of Fereen to deliver a small cargo to the town of Phandalen. Our delivery was from the bank of Westor to the Phandalen town master (o...

Where was I? Ah, yes, we had arrived at the windmill of Attebrah Quinn only to find it under attack by a manticore. This huge monstrosity tore into the structure. We could hear a woman calling for help. As a group, we leapt into action. I blessed my ...

We head out to find the dwarven mining camp. Ozzie guides us and we get there is two days with no drama. It is afternoon as we find the canyon they are working. That is when we get the surprise. "Dwarven Mining Camp" is two dwarves named Dazelene and ...

We started with a party meeting where we decided to go back to Dazelene and Norbus to clarify our roles. That discussion told us that they are on a mission from their god (Norbus is the zealot) and that their goal was to determine if this was an actively...

Just when I was sure that we had this ruin cleared out, a couple more oozes showed up and gave us one last fight. We then connected with Dazelene and Norbus to discuss closing this place up. While giving the place a look, we saw some strange thing on th...

Post fight. We caught our breaths. I called on Mitra for a touch of help and he healed most of my wounds. We looted the orc weapons and set to burying them in a cairn. We did it in the caves as the material was close at hand and we were concerned abo...

The forest is mildly creepy. Tuath keeps us on track and does a wonderful job of finding a path that allows the cart to move. We are three days in when we hit the river. We turn North. Soon, we find the logging camp. The camp is clearly abandoned. W...

Back in Phanlyn, the first news we hear is that Adabrah Guinn was attacked in her tower home, by the rumored white dragon, nine days ago (back when we heard the screech on our way out of town). We head to the Inn and find that she is still damaged and re...

Back at Butterskull Ranch, we cleaned up after the fight. We bandaged wounds, caught our breath, and spoke a bit with Alphonse (or, Big Al if you asked him). We buried all the bodies which caused a fair amount of grumbling from my compatriots. The or...

Having taken one of the Rat-men down, I called for the others to help and we charged back into the fight. Unfortunately, the rat-men were tougher than my first kill had led me to believe. We hung in the fight but I was the only really effective fighter ...

It seems that Tuath is having symptoms of an STD (Slime Transmitted Disease). I called on Mitra to heal him. If it really is a disease, or poison, he should be fine. We just have to wait to see if symptoms reappear. Ozzie thinks he knows where Axeho...

(Area map hexes are 50 miles wide this week.) Light on hit points and nearly dry on spells, we pushed the attack through the mines. Sure enough, we found more rat-men. Five of them. Given our low resources, it was a tough fight, but we pulled it o...

(Area map hexes are 25 miles wide this week. I think?) Having located Axeholm, we immediately leave. We cross back to the other side of the valley and find a good spot to watch. We have some cover against the mountain and some trees to hide us. We ...

After the spider fight, we set to exploring the fortress. The first interesting thing we found was tunnels clawed out of the mountain. This came with an old stench. Tuath attempted to make sense of what little tracks he could find but there did not see...

I am barely seeing straight after being kicked around by undead dwarves when we hear an explosion. This is no little bang but something that shook the mountain. Still, given the bloodied condition of the party, we take a minute to ask Mitra for some imm...

We finished up at Axeholm. We checked the last spaces and scanned for magic. The only interesting bit was the chest where Dash got his magic items. There was a tripod in the chest that has a light magic residue that had a slight mind altering effect. ...

Anyone remember where we parked the remaining pack animal? I'm sure we had one before we climbed up that cliff....

Yup. That donkey was missing. Best guess is that we left it at the base of the cliff. But, if you think forgetting a donkey is weird, it turns out that Ozzie was carrying around a 70 pound chest since we left that beast. That means that he climbed a 2...

After the fight with the Cthulhu Troll, we retreated to the observatory to recover. Ermanguard was still there and unconscious. We rested but at the end of the long rest, a troll came up the stairs. This one had a frost breath weapon. It struck me t...

We headed back to the rooms we first entered in this complex and set to looking for materials that would help us burn trolls. Some table tegs, bedding, and cooking oil gave us seven more torches. While searching the odd store room, we found a number of ...
