Curious to see what was inside, Dare rushes towards the tower.  The smell of rot strengthens as he nears, stinging his nose. He can hear grunts emanating from within the darkness and the aimless shuffling about of more than a few creatures. Within moments of his approach, a zombie saunters out.  Its followed by another. … Continue reading 6th of Mirtul, 1492 DR – The Necromancer and His Army, (Session 22):

Wolves, Orcs, Hobgoblins, and ogres oh my. This outing I think has produced the highest body count thus far I believe. All of these threats to the common traveler have been removed in one fell swoop. If we collected all the heads as proof I don't believe even dare or Ajax would have the strength … Continue reading Lilvari’s Journal – Entry #17

The adventurers take time to rest near the fire in front of the orcs' cave and tend to their wounds. It's around midday when they stand and stretch and look for anything of value the orcs may have been holding. Dare searches Brughor, the leader, and finds a few coins as well as a necklace … Continue reading 5th and 6th of Mirtul, 1492 DR – Rumors of Old Owl Well, (Session 21):

by jaymamma. Time to take a much deserved rest. Even though Mercarri healed me, my side and midsection were sore beyond belief. Yet, still I remain unbroken. That was quite the scrap. Our teamwork and strategy improved, far from perfect, but much better. We know knew that Mercarri had two left feet, and Mystic was … Continue reading Lilvari’s Journal – Entry #16

The party is deciding on a plan when they hear footsteps approaching. They ready their weapons and turn towards the sound only to see that it's Ajax. He tells them that it took forever for him to catch up, and that he's sorry for being too sick to come with them. He promises not to … Continue reading 5th of Mirtul, 1492 DR – The Orcs of Wyvern Tor, (Session 20):

by jaymamma. I believe we will find the camp tomorrow. We have been all over these hills. The dwarf is grateful and intends to turn the tragedy into a catalyst to change his life and pursue a new life. I can admire that, were it that easy. I may have told my story if not … Continue reading Lilvari’s Journal – Entry #15

Over the next few hours, the dwarf regains consciousness. He's a bit loopy from being struck on the head so hard, but eventually the adventurers learn his name is Traubon Brawnanvil. Through tears he tells them what happened. The orcs broke into the house demanding money, but they didn't want only money. They wanted blood. … Continue reading 4th and 5th of Mirtul, 1492 DR – Wyvern Tor and the Broken Arrow Tribe, (Session 19):

by jaymamma. We were waiting for our ailing dwarf to awaken. I could feel the orc staring at me, literally feel the rage of his eyes upon me. Of course, when I turned to look at him he turned away. Hundreds of orcs he says. I doubt he could count that high to be honest. … Continue reading Lilvari’s Journa – Entry #14

Lilvari remained tightlipped around the campfire that night. When asked if she'd explain the note and her past, she told them that it was getting late, that they had a busy day ahead of them and needed to get their sleep. She promised to tell them her story later. Their sleep was peaceful, unbroken by … Continue reading 4th of Mirtul, 1492 DR – Fire at the Farmstead, (Session 18):

by jaymamma. Downtime   After our running excursion, we opted to take a break for a few days before moving to Wyvern Tor or Cragmaw whichever we decided. The first day I knew I wanted to clear out the weeds and brush and plant a garden in the back of the manor. I thought about doing … Continue reading Lilvari’s Journal – Entry #13
