(Previous Notes)

Tankred kicked open yet another set of double doors. Inside was a pile of bones with a seat on top. In the seat was a humanoid in disturbing armor, borne by those Chosen of Chaos. The creature's helmet was shaped like the visage of Abdul Al Shar. He exuded chaos and terror. Johann and Vaervenshyael failed their terror tests. Tankred and Wilhelm attacked.

Before the battle was over, Vaervenshyael failed 3 Terror tests, which lead to 3 Insanity Points, and 1 mental disability. For the disability, she rolled Host of Fiends. She will have to pass a Willpower test daily or be taken over by an Aspect of Khorne! This fits in perfectly with the campaign and her background.

After Tankred unleased Ulric's Fury and Wilhelm shot the Warrior of Chaos through the skull, Johann wanted to examine the body. Vaervenshyael did not want to touch the horrible thing, but she was willing (after a lot of unheeded pleading from the doctor) to help roll the body onto it's back using it's own sword as a pry-bar.

When the body was face up, a fit of rage passed through Vaervenshyael (was it Khorne? was it her? I don't have to tell!) and she swung the large sword around with all her strength to sever the warrior's head. The warrior's gorget rolled off like a pewter dinner plate. A finely detailed chain was revealed around the warrior's neck. Vaervenshyael snatched it out of curiosity. It had the appearance of one of the magical stones the party had found in the past. It was green with orange mottling. Vaervenshyael told the party they had (hopefully) found what they had come for, and they could leave this infernal place.

The party left the (castle? manor?) and could see the doorway they entered into the realm. Van Duster and the Knights were standing in the doorway, looking over the party's heads, and yelling "RUN!" A large, dark creature flew out of the night sky behind the party. Nobody got a good look at the creature as they were running for their very lives. They flew through the doorway, and Van dropped a bar across it before the creature could get to the party.

Vaervenshyael has a strange yearning to know exactly what the creature was that chased them.

Back at the Practicing Owl, the administrators that be had plenty of questions for the party. In the end, they could only tell them that they retrieved one of their missing acolytes, they retrieved the talisman, and a nightmare world is being held at bay under their temple with a metal bar thrown across a door.

[D&D 5e] Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden 17

The party left the ice fortress to check out the dead body we heard was frozen in the ice halfway up the island. The body was of Nas. It turned out she was still there in spirit, and she possessed Vael. In Vael’s body, she went after the Codicil that Ylenn had her face stuck in. When Vael couldn’t get to Ylenn, Nas possessed Prax instead. Prax also couldn’t get there, as Ylenn cast Hold Person on him, and the rest of the party dragged him away from Nas’ dead body. After he was far enough away, the spirit had to return to the dead body…which Morgan had burned to a crisp. We got the orb containing Professor Scant from Nas’ dead body. We circled the island, looking for the whale or another good way off. We couldn’t find one. Ylenn said she could summon the whale, if we could just last the night. We made a lean-to to sleep in and keep cover from the roc. As an octopus, Morgan was able to get some sail from a sunken ship to cover our lean-to. He also was able to find a huge treasure che...

Thoughts on Stalwart Adventures 7

We were quite surprised at how we found our new party member, and exactly what race/class he was! I kept hearing there were witches outside of town, so I kept trying to recruit village folk to go adventuring with us, figuring that’s where our new party member would come from. Begrudgingly I was forced to leave town without anyone, only to find the new guy hanging from a tree in a cage.  The DM kept letting Zak try to climb the tree and pick the lock, no matter how badly I failed. Mostly it was to find out how long it took and what zany stuff happened while I was trying, including falling from the cage, and then also standing in Thanin’s saddle while she rode to stand under the cage.  Searching for the dwarf hold entrance, we were reminded once again how out of our element these characters are. I can see the benefit of a stable of rolled up characters, and then choosing the one used to the wilderness for this particular adventure. Zak is an in-town dude. He really needs to snap...

Thoughts on Stalwart Adventures 3

I think we were all done with fighting goblins. The DM had the pack leader in the next room. He gave himself up and assured us the goblins (and his ogre) would leave us alone. The rest of the night (until the end) was exploring. It’s really good to mix in the exploring after so much fighting. I still need to get better at Find/Remove Traps, as one blasted me pretty good.  I played the character a little more chaotic, and it was kind of fun. Probably not the type of fun that the other PCs feel they can rely on to watch their back, though. The fun thing about chaotic neutral is I can lean into it whenever I’m looking to spice things up. The rest of the time I can be more reasonable and reliable. The cleric held its own again. I really think he may be the best option for fighting the alpha werewolf. We’ll have to talk it over and see what the others think. I know Zak isn’t the best choice! If we can defeat the alpha wolf, it should wrap up this little adventure nicely.
