Image
21st October 2022 In-game timeline: Start of session: 1489DR Nightal 25. End of session: 1490DR Hammer 8 Our Heroes are faced by at least two stone giants, brandishing large rocks. After a minor, tactical retreat, Karoshi tries talking to them. One, who they later find out is called Vorold and has a withered arm and a stammer, accuses them of being looters and tells them to leave. Karoshi fails to convince them otherwise, but Iwee does a good job of persuading them to give them a chance. Vorold asks Iwee to approach alone, weaponless, and she takes the risk and does so. After some conversation with the gentle, and persuasive, gnome, Vorold, and his mute friend Gurdis, seem to be convinced they are not thieves, and they allow Karoshi to join Iwee in the upper temple complex. Meanwhile Jaxii and Derrick take the opportunity to have a short rest, under the watch of Gurdis. At the upper level, it seems that the giants have been burning the bodies of the residents of the temple, but in a re...

Session 57 - Mrs Wednesday is Majestic

29th September 2022 - 20:00 - 11:30 In-game timeline: Start of session: 1489DR Nightal 14. End of session: 1489DR  Nightal 25 Our Heroes are basking in the glory of saving (most of) the children of Moonfall. Derrick thinks he has fleas. Well, more accurately, the rest of the party thinks Derrick has fleas. They spend some time in Baldur's Gate practising their new level 7 abilities before deciding to head out. Derrick and Jaxii head to the library with Iwee. Iwee disappears to the "Demons" and "Self Help" sections, much to the concern of the librarian, Gladys. Her concern at that is short-lived, however, when Derrick approaches and asks if they have any books on Werewolves. Not "how to avoid", more like "how to become". Gladys wishes she had an emergency button she could press. Derrick finds some basic books, but they pretty much all just advise steering well clear of ALL lycanthropes. Then, with Jaxii's help, they discover an older, more...
