It's there , Ruby bracelet of a lion.

Okay, this is last night's session...

Blumpy had arrived, and we discovered an iron chest within the manor house. We rummaged through the contents, and amidst the treasure, found a perfumed letter saying:

"Sarveth, take great care with the enclosed phylactery."

I don't remember what the letter said word-for-word, but it mentioned stuff like the "Ghost Lord (a lich), Brindle (a town), and there was something about a Dragon guarding it.

I think it also said:

"Keep it hidden and safe until Brindle is fallen."

It was signed by someone named "Oolye". Well, okay. Later on, we ran into another Goblin that we fought, and after defeating him, Reven and the guys decided to interrogate and torture the crap out of him, while the tortured Goblin laughed hysterically the entire time.

The Goblin babbles out a couple names:

* Kulkorzul (child and minion of Tiamat)
* Sarveth (waste of flesh)

Eventually, they waste him. I thought it was kinda gross and a major waste of time, but whatever. Maybe I'll just take Charm Person as my next spell, and forego all this bloody interrogation crap.

Well, we then went to bring all of our loot outside to the boat. As we did this, it began to rain heavily. We then heard a blood-curdling roar, and spied a dark-winged creature up in the sky, flying toward us.



It was a Black Dragon! There was a humanoid shape riding on its back, and the beast was swooping down out of the sky at us. We all grabbed our stuff, and fled back inside the building. Horatio and Kratos were the last to reach the doorway, and barely made it inside before the beast spewed its acid breath at them. We could hear it outside swearing loudly in Draconic....



At some point, Hrothgar casts Resist Energy on himself and Banjo :raven: immediately after hearing the Dragon's roar. Afterward, he casts this protective spell on Reven and Blumpy, while Horatio and Kratos casts some infusions on themselves to keep from getting melted.

The group eventually goes back outside, lead by Reven. They parley with the Black Dragon and its masked rider for a while, as the reptilian beast becomes increasingly more agitated during the conversation. My character, Hrothgar is the last to go out there, as Reven calls out for him when a battle breaks out, and the dragonrider is peppering the group with arrows.

Hrothgar goes out there, and casts Protection From Arrows on Reven, and then zaps the beast with a volley of Magic Missiles. Shortly thereafter, the Dragon swoops down at the party. As it whips down at us, it somehow manages not to decapitate anyone. Kratos tries to grab the thing, and the others attack it, but it's then that I spy a perfect opportunity for Hrothgar to nail these suckers. The Dragon and its rider flew right over the stone roof of the building, so Hrothgar begins to mutter the words of another spell...:heh:

I have my guy cast Stone Shape, causing large ribbons of stone to wrap around the Dragon and its rider, pinning its wings helplessly to its side. Gotcha, Senor Kramer.

Of course...our DM, MeatLips (Senor Kramer) is getting a little frustrated with my most effective methods of cock-blocking him, and says, "could I see that spell in the Player's Handbook, please..?"

I can't remember what happened next. I think we were either gonna wail on the Dragon or interrogate it, but the point was soon moot, as we suddenly heard the sound of stone cracking...:eek:

In its struggles, the Dragon caused the entire roof to break, causing it and us to fall to the ground below. Of course, my character earned his keep yet again by casting Feather Fall on the party to prevent any of us from being injured by the fall.

After it fell, the Dragon :dragon: saw an opportunity to escape, and attempted to fly out through the roof. No way this bitch was gonna get away. :heh: Before it and its rider could fly off, Hrothgar nailed it with Stone Shape one last time. Reven took that opportunity to strike the beast with his sword, and Senor Kramer is trying to calculate the damage.

Me: "We killed it, didn't we? Yeah, we killed it..."

Reven decapitates it, and what we're left with is its masked rider attached to the headless torso of a Dragon like a friggin' barnacle. We remove the rider's mask...

...and see that it's a Goblin. The dude looked scared. I'm not gonna bore you with the details of the interrogation, but we got some info, starting with the fact that this Goblin bozo's name was Sarveth. He mentioned this:

* Phylactery of Ghost Lord (Lich)
* Red Hand
* Wyrm Lords (Sarveth was one of these)
* Regiarix (name of a Dragon)
* Nurkleneck (I forget who the heck that is)

He also mentioned something about a bell tower across the lake, and that he'd convince the Goblin soldiers there not to attack. But we didn't really care if they attacked or not. We bind him, and he leads us to 'em...

The bell tower is located on a tiny island housing a small regiment of Goblin soldiers led by some Hobgoblin dude named Kerkoolyn. Once we got there, we enjoyed the pleasant sensation of being peppered by arrows again. We see the arrows shoot out of small arrow slits. My character, Hrothgar casts Protection From Arrows on himself and Banjo. It is then that the Goblin, Sarveth cries out pitiably when he's struck in the shoulder by an arrow. Not fun. Hrothgar casts Magic Missile at one of our attackers, and Kratos then does his thing. Our big metal man takes a running start, and charges right at the front door like a battering ram. The fucker hits it so hard, he goes right through the front door.

The guys fight the Goblins, and Reven breathes fire on 'em. The Hobgoblin guy escapes up the stairs, and Reven and Kratos follow. After a brief melee, Kratos knocks the Hobgoblin guy off the roof, and into the water. Game over. We win.

Okay, guys. As for the list of monsters and treasure, I'll write that down tomorrow, as this post is quite long enough....

Okay, kiddies. I'm finally gonna list the other monsters we defeated, as well as the treasure we gained. Some of this treasure is from the previous game session, while the rest of it is from the last game. So here we go....

Aaaaand we're done.

Okay, we had our next session, but not much happened. For starters, Reven gained a feat that allows him to gain a Dragon cohort, so now he's got a big dragon buddy named "Sparky". And yes, this one threatens to eat my raven, Banjo too...:rolleyes: :dragon: :raven:

We returned to the Elven town, and spoke with that Elven woman, Seleria Starsinger, as well as that Elven dude, Killiar. We had a brief discussion about that lich known as the "Ghost Lord", and asked them for some help, but they refrained from providing aid, since they said they had their hands full.

After that conversation, we left and soon took some time to attempt that incantation again, the one called Hrothgar's Spirit Summoning. We figured we'd attempt to resurrect that Elf, Lanakar, and reunite him with his people. Well, surprise of all surprises.....it actually worked.

Lanakar is like..."What? Where am I? What happened?"

He was a little bit confused. In any case, we sent him back to his people, who seemed to be pretty damn happy about his return. That's good, because I wasn't looking forward to acting out a scene straight outta Highlander. So I guess things worked out...for now.

that was a fail-free session. Now, we have that longass journey across the map to that Litch. Better get there in a jiffy, Hey, let's take a boat ride down the river. it would be faster and we would probably go undetected by the Red Hand.

Oh. Lets leave a lot of our stuff here and travel light and quick. When we finish the next module, we should be able to do a few teleport spells to speed up retreving it.

OK... now meatlips said we have 150 miles to travel down to the ghost lords area in the thorn or waste lands. Now, we have several options and obstacels to over come.

• We can go back the same way we came, through the marsh, across the river and then possibly cross paths with the Red Hand (what day is it DM, We need to check the goblin map)
• Second option is to take the long way around eveything  and take the road down and deal with bandits and other obstcales we may encounter. This is about double the distance perhaps but probably the fastes way. Also we can stop by other towns and see whats going on. There is a possibility as well running into the Red Hand
• Third option is to sale across the lake and then take the road south possibly behind the Red hand. This will pass on the Skull forge side of the river. If we meet up with the Red Hand hord, then our options of fleeing is limited
• The last option is to make a couple of boats (War Canoes and or longship) and sail downstream. I was reading the ruls on OGL at D&D wiki and Stomwreak. With Kratos rowing 24 h, and everyone else rowing 8 hours and people taking turns stearing plus going downstream will add speed. We can make it down there in 36 hours and only have 40 miles on land after that. One problem is going through Drelends Ferry and the Horde and second is the Horses. We could put them on the vessel but do not know how practical it would be.

So any ideas or comments?

Okay, so here's a list of monsters and treasure...

At the end of the session, we were fighting some Greenspawn Razorfiends, but had no time to complete the battle. So until next time...

Here's the recap of the other session.

Realizing we were falling behind to the Red Hand horde (according to their timeline from the captured goblin map we had), we needed to get some quick speed down to the Ghost Lord 150 miles away to negotiate him to abdicate his help to the Red Hand by returning his phylactery (and possibly have him take revenge on them).

So se tried to get the help of the elves but unfortunately to an untimely diplomacy fumble, we were sent off our way with no transportation except to the slow horses we had (Thanks Reven). Hrothgar pulled a few magical etheral looking horses out of nowhere that would travel at 25 mph. So away we go!

After an hour of traveling, we come across a blockade that was impeading our travel. This wooden structure was long enough to block us and had a short tower. Reven took his newly acquired dragon steed called Sparky. They took to the sky and divebombed the goblins that were on top of the tower. After laying down some smack down, Sparky does a loud intimidating roar.

This was Kratos queue to bust down the blockades door. He charges and on his first attempt, he crashes into the double wooden doors and the bust wide open. There were 3 more goblins and 2 ogers. Hrothgar follows behind Kratos a springs into the door. Blumpy and Horatio lay back for a round.

Reven and Sparky with in 30 seconds lay waist to the goblins on top. Reven heads down the stairs as he hears the party staring. Unfortunately Sparky needs to fly around. Kratos proceeded to start to hack and slash the ogre and while Hrothgar Stormblots the other oger. Horatio and Blumpy sneak up and try to get into the action. Unfortunately Horatio first tripped and lost his turn and then had a wardrobe malfunction. Blumpy and Hrothgar some damage and Reven joins the group and once again breath's fire and sets another structure on fire.

This is where it gets kinda  fuzzy of who kills what and what happens, but we all kick some monster ass. So we end up defeating 6 Goblins, 2 Ogers and 2 Hobgoblin. Get some loot and booty to boot and leave. Unfortunately we have to evacuate the building because of the fire.

Off we go south again but we come across a dead carcass (a horse I believe). Reven hears some crunching in the distance and he goes to investigate. Kratos follows him. It is at this point we stumble across not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Greenspawn razor fiends. Oh oh.... Well Lets say after the first round of suffering some severe halitosis (their acid breath weapon), Kratos and Reven get chemically burned. Reven went as low to 28 HP from the mid 70's and Kratos lost 43 HP down to 79. We had a chance to fight back for one round, but...

This is where the breaks were put down.

Until Monday.

Thank you. I just wasn't in the mood to write it this time. I'll write the next one.

During the last session, we were fighting four Greenspawn Razorfiends, so Reven and Kratos took point when attacking them. Banjo :raven: used stored spells to heal these guys in the fight, as they were suffering an insane amount of damage.

Blumpy attacked the Razorfriends from a distance, firing at the beasts with his bow and arrows, while Horatio attempted to repair Kratos. Hrothgar spent the battle healing Reven and Sparky, while protecting Reven and Kratos from the Razorfiends' deadly acid breath with his spells. Kratos and Reven did all the grunt work, slaying the beasts in the process.

We then traveled through the forest on Hrothgar's magical steeds (an Ethereal Mount spell), and managed to avoid a needle trap of some kind in the forest. Reven breathed a gout of fire upon it, setting the tree tops ablaze, and so we just moved on.

Eventually, we reached Vrath Keep, our old conquered stronghold. It's there that we spent the night...



Well, Kratos and Banjo kept watch, and heard strange sounds, like rustling, shuffling feet, and moaning....

So we went on the alert. It turns out that whatever it was, was just passing through, and that's good because we were still "recharging our cookies".

Dawn breaks, and we continue the journey on these enchanted steeds. Reven, of course, rides his Dragonnel, "Sparky". :dragon:

As we make our way through the forest, a huge eight-legged monstrosity leaps in front of us. A spider! A biiiiig spider. It comes to get us....

....but we kill it.

Here's a list of monsters defeated.

MONSTERS DEFEATED

* Greenspawn Razorfiends (4)
* Monstrous Spider (1)
