19th August 2022 - 19:45 - 11:00 In-game timeline: Start of session: 1489DR Nightal 3. End of session: 1489DR  Nightal 3 Our "Heroes" stand before some imposing wooden doors. They open them, expecting the worst. Beyond them is a room, very dark, with what looks like a mechanical contraption taking up most of the room. An inscription around the walls seems to hint at the word "Stars". A stone control panel is at the side of the room, and a small stream runs along the eastern side of the room. The contraption seems to have a number of large globes standing on poles around the room and there is a large, unlit brazier in the centre of the room. Much discussion ensues as to whether they should light the brazier, pull a lever, turn a dial or just leave well alone. The end result is an agreement to leave well alone for now and maybe come back later to play around with the contraption. They leave the room and head to the staircase doing down further into the ruins. This sta...

End of session: 1489DR  Nightal 3 Our "Heroes" finish their 1-hour rest and decide to form a barricade from the children's' beds. No more sleep for them, then! The self-appointed "leader" of the group, a boy named Talfen Strong looks up to Derrick in a way no one else does. Derrick feels he has a new disciple for his Church. The party tell the kids to lock the door behind them and not open for anyone unless they play a specific tune on a lute. Our "Heroic" adventurers leave the children and head further into the depths of the ruins. They search the room of the lizardfolk leader who they killed earlier, finding a few goodies for their trouble. Then they head to the final room on this level - the staircase going down. Karoshi and Iwee stop to admire the impressive bas-relief carvings - this time seeming to show a Titan infiltrating a war camp of the Gods and enabli...

29th July 2022 - 19:45 - 11:00 In-game timeline: Start of session: 1489DR Nightal 3. End of session: 1489DR  Nightal 3 Our "Heroes" consider their options for rescuing the children. They return their attention to the picture on the wall. And the chalice containing horrible smelling liquid. Derrick unsurprisingly tastes the liquid and almost throws up. They spot light moving in the picture and they quickly hide - Jaxii and Iwee pressing themselves against the wall, and Karoshi and Derrick diving out of the room. Iwee creates an illusion of the sound of beating drums in the room. This confuses Derrick, though that is no reflection on the quality of the illusion. None can see the picture from their positions, and after a short while Derrick wanders back into the room and the picture seems back to its previous, "normal" state. The group senses that Derrick is getting bored. Which, based on previous experience, is dangerous. They start to act a little quicker. Derrick is...
