Session 15 Saturday October 24th
Leon is wandering around town after stating to Thallatos that he does not care to defend the caravan as they head to Darromar. Tyrrox left town claiming that everyone in the town is crazy, but he does wonder why the pirates attacked the town. The truth is that the caravan that is there is the reason, but at the moment, Tyrrox does not know about the caravan’s existence. Nym comes up to Tyrrox and asks about Gorock. Tyrrox explains the missions the group went on with Gorock before he went off on his own and got killed; though Tyrrox does not know that Gorock is dead.
Vanemuine finds himself frolicking on the outskirts of the town. The half elf, Cassius comes up to Vanemuine and asks him where all his buddies are so that they can divide the loot. Vanemuine hops off looking for his other party members.
Eventually we all meet up again and Cassius mentions that we should divide the loot so that he can get out of town as soon as possible.
The group accuses Tyrrox of stealing Thallatos’ loot, so Tyrrox walks away from the group yet again. Leon and Torgeth talk about cooking the captured pirate and feeding him to Tyrrox, but Leon interrogates the captured pirates and convinces him to give him his soul.
The NPCs continue to ask for their share of the loot, but Leon tells them that the centaur has it all that has walked off away from everyone after he was asked if he stole Thallatos’ gear. Eventually Cliff and Nym meet up again with Tyrrox outside of town and try to get their share of the loot from him as Tyrrox has most of the captain’s gear. Nym asks for the horn and Cliff doesn’t take anything because he is so depressed about almost dying and his buffalo’s death.
Eventually the caravan leader comes back and tells Thallatos that they can hire about six people at 1000 gold each. The caravan mentions that they will continue to travel at night. Eventually Thallatos meets up with Vanemuine and asks him if he and his group want to protect the caravan as it heads to Darromar. Eventually night comes and we all meet at the warehouse and prepare to leave for this two week trip to Darromar.
Thallatos and Leon convince Torgeth to hand the pirate captain over to them. He agrees for three bottles of rum. She introduces herself Raina Scarlett and wonders why we have not heard of her. However, we are not often by the coast so we have not heard of her.
Thallatos keeps getting the nagging feeling that there is something in the back of his mind that he can’t shake or get rid of. Thallatos seems to be drawn to Leon’s bag. Leon continues to wave the bag at Thallatos to weird him out with it.
The caravan rolls out with Tyrrox at the front, Vanemuine and Leon on top, and Thallatos in the rear with the captain and his “Lepers,” and Torgeth is in the middle somewhere. It takes roughly three days to clear the mountains, and in the second night we see what looks like two snakes covered with armor plates and they are more than 30 feet long, so very big. They seem to be peeking at us and then rush they caravan.
The battle is a very rough one. Vanemuine and Tyrrox take a tremendous beating and Tyrrox almost gets dropped at the beginning, and does get dropped later in the battle. Vanemuine gets swallowed by the same snake that took out Tyrrox and begins taking crushing and acid damage. Thallatos overwhelms the other snake in the battle with trolls and a wyvern. Leon blasts the snakes with blasts several times. Eventually Thallatos, his minions, and Leon are able to take out the two Behirs. After the battle Leon heals Tyrrox and brings him back to life.
Eventually day comes and the caravan stops and everyone basically stops and tries to recover from the battle. The next day passes uneventful and we get out of the mountains and continue heading towards Zazz where Leon tries to sell the captain’s gear. The captain tries to get her gear back from Tyrrox and fails since Tyrrox gave it all to Leon. She then asks Leon for the gear, and he refuses to give it back to her.
Eventually she stops arguing and rests. Leon, Thallatos, and Tyrrox head to Laughy Kilos to sell the captain’s gear. The captain stays outside with the lepers. It seems that the rod that Leon had is the item that is weirding out Thallatos. The rod is given to Thallatos and he is allowed to use his warp touch through it and use that chart of random things that happen instead of the chart that goes with the rod of wonder.
The captain’s longsword is +1 keening shocking burst, and that is given to Vanemuine because it is an upgrade compared to what he had. Most of the other captain’s gear is meant to buff up her allies. Overall we get about 27,000 gold and split it up. Leon buys his warlock scepter and Tyrrox buys a +1 huge valorous lance. Since it will take 8 days to get the scepter and lance done, Tyrrox agrees to stay behind and catch up with the caravan once it is done.
Leon buys Raina some basic gear, and Thallatos sets her free. Also the city guard is alerted to the lepers that are traveling with Thallatos and the guards want the lepers out of the city immediately.
Tyrrox heads back to the tavern of The Smiling Centaur that Berdak the centaur owns. Recall that the tavern is designed for creatures of different types and stays there for 8 days until the equipment is ready to be picked up.
Tyrrox convinces Berdak to let him stay there as long as he works for 8 days.
As Leon goes to check on Helena he finds a letter that tells him to head to Castle Tethyr alone and this woman named Irea has signed the letter. Coincidentally this place is on the way back to Darromar. The note says that “Since you took something from me, I took something from you.” Leon also explains to Tyrrox that if he isn’t back in 48 hours, he is likely dead and he tells Tyrrox that he is heading to castle Tethyr. Leon heads to Helena’s group and asks them what happened. Leon heals Faelar who was unconscious, who tells him that someone attacked them sneaking around. Since they aren’t much help Leon heads off towards the castle and tells Thallatos and Vanemuine that he will catch up to them.
X.P. is 1600 plus petition.

Session 16 Sunday November 15th
The session starts off with Leon heading to Castle Tethyr. Note that he told Tyrrox that if he isn’t back in 48 hours to assume that he is dead. It takes roughly 4 hours for Leon to reach the castle that appears to be in ruins.
The castle has a ruined wall as well, and Leon flies through an open window and notices that most of this castle is empty. Leon heads towards the main chamber of the castle and sees a few boot prints in the dust and also sees that the large wooden doors are closed to the chamber. Leon attempts to start the door on fire, but accidentally hits a torch that falls of the wall and lights the door on fire from the bottom up.
Once inside, Leon sees Helena tied up in the chamber slightly beat up, and a big stone, wood, and mostly metal creature standing behind her. Leon does knowledge arcane to discover that it is a construct called a shield guardian that spell casters often use. Also standing off to the side is the woman that Leon killed earlier; the one that had the hat on that disguised her, and her name is Irea Lehane.
Since Leon is invisible she only sees the burning door. She demands Leon to show himself, but he decides to try to untie Helena; he does manage to untie her hands and Leon hands her the punching dagger invisibly. Finally Leon flies right behind the Irea and shoots an eldritch blast.
Helena runs up to Irea and punches her with the punching dagger. Irea retaliates, Leon fires a blast at Irea, and the guardian then moves up and hits Leon with its fist. Irea then takes a step back, pulls out a magic lamp and rubs it revealing an Efreeti. She tells the Efreeti to take Leon out. Leon also notices that the shield guardian seems to be taking the damage that is being dealt to Irea. The battle continues on and eventually Leon activates his fiendish resilience to gain fast healing one. Further into combat Leon and Helena are stunned by Irea as well as a wall of fire cast on them. Eventually Leon breaks the stun and attempts to heal Helena with his healing belt. Leon then tells Helena to run away, and she does. Leon gets pummeled by the Efreeti who grapples Leon, and Irea who bludgeons Leon repeatedly until it knocks him out. However, Leon’s fiendish resilience keeps bringing him back up conscious. Once conscious, Leon turns invisible and moves away from Irea and the Efreeti who has since put him down on the ground. Irea then disappears, and Leon begins to head outside of the chamber. After about three rounds, the Efreeti casts a wall of fire in front of Leon to try to trap him in the chamber. Leon responds by trying to dispel it, but fails to do so.
As Leon exits the chamber the entire castle begins to collapse, and Leon cannot seem to find an exit. Eventually Leon does see a part of the ceiling collapsed and heads to it, but flies into a wall. It seems as if the collapsing castle is an illusion. Leon eventually gets outside of the spells radius, and does find his way out of the castle. Back over to Thallatos and Vanemuine, they prepare to leave at night with the caravan to head to Darromar. For the first hour of traveling the group sees nothing strange, as well as the second and third hour. Finally during the fourth hour Vanemuine sees a woman dressed like a dancer with a scimitar in her belt and two archers next to her standing in front of the caravan. Thallatos is all the way in the back of the caravan about 550 feet back. Vanemuine passes a message to be passed back to Thallatos that “We need help, pass it back.” However, by the time it reaches Thallatos it becomes “Send hell, massive attack.” With that Thallatos begins to run towards the front of the caravan.
The woman motions the archers to aim at Vanemuine and demands that the caravan surrender to her, and that this caravan belongs to her now. The archers’ fire arrows at Vanemuine and both miss him by about a foot. Vanemuine fires a few fire bolts at the archers once apiece. The woman then draws both of her scimitars and attacks the horses.
As Thallatos is running to the front of the caravan, he is attacked by a man with a rapier to the front side of him as the man appears out of nowhere. Also two more guys attack Thallatos’ skeleton’s minions that are currently dressed up as lepers. The battle rages on in two fronts basically with Thallatos in the middle attacking the rogues that continue to pop up from the side of the caravan, and Vanemuine in the front fighting the female leader and her archers. The leader is dressed like a belly dancer and she fights with two scimitars. The leader’s fighting style involves twirling around basically dancing. Eventually the two are able to take out all the mooks except for the leader, who despite getting knocked out seems to be gone. (At least it’s assumed she was unconscious or at least very badly injured).
There was one mook that did in fact surrender. It seems that the man that attacked Thallatos and disappeared is probably the same one that took the leader and teleported away with her. The captured mook is named Oz, and basically he was supposed to take the caravan, and he was informed about it by the leader who has disappeared. The prisoner admits that the man that keeps disappearing is Yoren. The prisoner states that Yoren threatened to cut up his kidneys if he asks questions. Apparently the base for these people is in Myratma in an underground place. Oz does give away the location well enough to give Thallatos and Vanemuine an idea of where the base is at. Thallatos and Vanemuine convince Oz to join the party.
Thallatos then raises some horses to replace the two that were killed in the battle.
After a very long and difficult discussion, Thallatos and Vanemuine are able to convince the leader to use the skeletal horses as replacement horses.
Thallatos is hereby known as the Leper Sheppard.
As Leon exits the castle, he finds Helena on the roof of the castle pretty beat up and her fly spell has run out. All of Helena’s gear is gone because Irea took it all from her as well as the messenger book that let Leon and Helena talk to each other. It takes about three and a half hours to get back to Zazesspur. They get back to Zazesspur on the fifth day around noon. The two head into the Smiling Centaur tavern.
After explaining what has happened Leon begins to look for a noble patron that can provide some information. Helena and her group stay with Tyrrox for protection.
Leon heads to a very wealthy tavern to try to get a description on this noble. Apparently Irea works for this noble so we are trying to find them to find out where Irea is located. Eventually Leon finds out that this noble may be of the Duke’s family of Zazesspur (the Forel’s). The Duke is the guy that Leon wanted revenge on but could never get. Dario is the duke’s son and supposedly Irea has been talking to Dario. Leon finally leaves after buying the informant several drinks.
When Tyrrox and Helena go to find her group they discover that the group checked out in a hurry after Leon talked to them. So Tyrrox and Helena head back to the Smiling Centaur. Helena then recounts everything that happened to her and Leon up to this point.
Eventually Leon comes back and explains what he found out about the Duke. Helena seems to not be feeling too well despite the fact she is beaten up from the battle. Tyrrox and Leon bring Helena to the church to get healed.
Afterwards the three of us head back towards Castle Tethyr in order to find Helena’s party that headed to the castle to find Helena and Leon.
In about four hours we run into Helena’s group who are coming back from Castle Tethyr that is now empty.
The whole group decides to head back to Zazesspur and decide to wait until tomorrow to decide where to go next and what to do next.
The decision seems to be made that Helena’s group and Leon will head back to Castle Tethyr and wait there for the day to settle this grudge.
Before heading out to the castle, Berdak shows up and gives Tyrrox a box that he says an oriental man gave him to give to Tyrrox. The box has only a white lotus petal with blood on it. Tyrrox asks around but cannot seem to find any answers. To note Leon and Tyrrox are still 4 days away from getting their weapons.

Session 17 Sunday December 6th The session starts with Leon, Helena, and Tyrrox preparing to head back to Castle Tethyr where Helena was kept and Leon fought the Genie and Irea. Tyrrox continues searching around town to try to figure out what the bloodied lotus means. After two hours of searching, Tyrrox manages to gather that whoever gets a bloodied lotus tends to die the next day in their sleep. It seems to originate from Myratma. After that we all head to the castle. On the way Tyrrox convinces Faelar to protect him at night while he sleeps for 50 gold. After about a day’s walking we decide to rest before heading to the castle in the morning. During the night nothing happens and in the morning we reach Castle Tethyr. Tyrrox tries to hide once in the castle but fails miserably. After the failed hide attempts the group decides to just head into the throne room and wait for Irea and her group of minions. Upon entering the room Tyrrox, who leads the group, sees a large metal creature and a woman sitting behind it on a throne. As the group enters, Tyrrox, Bobo, Garm get blasted by a big fireball that seemed to materialize from nowhere. Also Tyrrox notices a bunch of bowmen on the left and right of the room with bows drawn. As the battle starts Helena’s group moves into position, Tyrrox charges the shield guardian and hits, and Leon attacks Irea and dispels her teleportation boots. Irea then tumbles up to Tyrrox and slashes at him doing significant damage with a dagger. Garm beats on the bowmen as well as Faelar who moves over to the bowmen opposite the room to Garm. Leon blasts Irea’s boots after dispelling them from earlier to try to destroy them to prevent her from teleporting. Tyrrox continues charging Irea who divides half the damage between her and the shield guardian. Irea continues to stab at Tyrrox with her dagger doing significant damage for a dagger. Eventually Tyrrox gets taken down dead as the shield guardian drops Tyrrox down to -15. Also Faelar drops in the battle from the shield guardian. Irea ends up stabbing Leon in the head taking him down to -21. Tyrrox and Leon wake up in an endless gray. Tyrrox has no clothes on, and people are walking in a certain way. Tyrrox asks some guy what is going on who doesn’t know what is going on, but we end up walking a certain way. Leon is able to discover that he is in a holding plane where souls wait until their deity comes to get them. Eventually everyone gets to a line where everyone seems to be waiting. Tyrrox goes up to an old man and demands to know what is going on. The old man isn’t much help so Tyrrox slaps him. Leon gets pissed and leaves the waiting line and eventually finds a door. Upon opening the door he sees a hallway. Inside he hears what can only be a heartbeat. Eventually he ends up in a circular room with a giant hourglass. The hourglass is filled with blood and then Leon hears a very malevolent voice. Turns out it is Leon’s demonic ancestor. He tells Leon that he doesn’t want him there yet, and that he can return with his friend, but it will cost him. All Leon has to do is turn the hourglass over. Leon decides to take the offer up and flips the hourglass over. A single blood drop drips down and Leon feels like something pull him back into his body. Tyrrox feels the same thing as he is pulled back into his body as well. Tyrrox and Leon literally wake up exactly when they were killed. Tyrrox stabs the shield guardian and Leon blasts Irea. Leon gets stabbed by Irea, and Helena and Garm get hit by one of the bowmen. On his next attack, Tyrrox is able to take down the shield guardian after 5 attacks on it. Irea moves and blurs for Alex, but in Tyrrox’s eyes, she is invisible. Leon blasts her which knocks her unconscious. Tyrrox then runs up to Irea and smashes the crap out of her. Leon then grabs her gear and gives it to Helena. Tyrrox then heads off towards the caravan while Leon and Helena’s group head back to Zazesspur to wait for Tyrrox’s lance and Leon’s Warlock staff. Thallatos and Vanemuine continue traveling with their caravan using the horses that Thallatos raised and draped their skin over them trying to disguise them. Eventually the caravan stops because there are several goats in the middle of road that are strangely very well fed, It is strange considering that the drought has killed most of the livestock from starvation. Vanemuine tells Oz to go shoo away the goats. Oz tries to shoo the goats, but the goats refuse to move, and he tells Vanemuine that the goat is looking at him weird. Eventually one of the goats opens its mouth and breathes fire at Oz. Eventually Thallatos is able to join the battle after he gets to the front from the back of the caravan. However, Thallatos and Vanemuine do not want to fight the goats because they are livestock, so they form a defensive line to protect Oz, who is pretty burnt from the goats. Upon careful looking, Thallatos notices that these goats seem to be more lizard-like than your typical goats; plus they breathe fire. In an effort to avoid a battle, Vanemuine flies overhead to try to find a Sheppard to get these goats off of the road. While flying, Vanemuine notices more than 60 goats. At first Vanemuine doesn’t notice any Sheppard, but then remembers a guild mission of a guy that wanted exotic animals and that he may be interested in these goats. Eventually Vanemuine is able to find a guy that appears to be a Sheppard of the herd. Vanemuine shouts to the man to ask him to move the goats so that they can go through. Vanemuine notices that this man seems to have a scaly sheen to his skin and lizard-like eyes; otherwise he is human in every other way. The Sheppard simply asks for a way to help feed his herd. The herd is made up of half-dragon, half-mountain goats that descended from one mountain goat that mated with a dragon. Eventually Vanemuine and Thallatos are able to convince the Sheppard to head north to the Forest of Wealdath to graze there. They travel on for the night and rest during the day. During the next night Tyrrox catches up with the caravan but only sees lepers when he first gets there. At this point an info dump takes place in which Tyrrox and Thallatos exchange what has happened including Thallatos telling Tyrrox that he is a necromancer. Eventually Vanemuine and Tyrrox meet up and more info dump takes place. Back in Zazesspur Leon gets all the magic items identified and buys scrolls of teleportation to get him back with the Caravan. At this point the group continues on until all of sudden Leon teleports and lands right by the group after also paying for a scry scroll. Leon appears right front of Tyrrox and gives his lance to him. Everyone takes part in bothering Oz after Leon scares Oz calling himself a demon. Tyrrox asks Oz which is scarier, the devil or centaur? Oz continues running back and forth scared rather shitless about what has happened to him. Eventually Oz ends up back in last carriage sleeping with Thallatos. During the next night we are attacked by what seems to be large metal bulls from the side of the caravan. They seem to be very angry as they snort green smoke that petrifies but doesn’t kill. Leon identifies them as Gorgons. They are magical beasts that are extremely territorial. Two Gorgons attack a carriage and the other two move up towards Tyrrox. The battle goes fairly easily after Tyrrox charges and kills 2 or 3 on his own and the other groups kill the rest. X.P. 2875 + Petition

When your typing the message there is a button on the top row 5th from the right that is called align center. Alternatively you can just do [*center*]text[*/center*] (without the * though).

Session 18 Sunday January 3rd As the session starts, the group has to try to fix a couple of the caravans that have been damaged in the fight by the Gorgons. One idea is to have Tyrrox pull what is left of the caravan like a sled, another is to put items in the wagon’s canopy and put it on the magic carpet up to 800 pounds worth. We ideally will do both options to lessen what Tyrrox pulls. Thallatos starts to raise one of the Gorgon bulls as a zombie and two others as skeletons as the caravan begins to move on. Thallatos does this in the back of the caravan so that no one can see him. Tyrrox asks Vanemuine to come down so that bags can be placed on the carpet and Tyrrox will drag the remaining bags on the wagon that is rigged up to be a reverse chariot. Tyrrox asks the caravan leader, Rando McMook, if he can be compensated for dragging a wagon. Rando agrees to give Tyrrox a little more for doing something that he considers below him. The two now free horses are used to replace the undead horses pulling Thallatos’ wagon. Finally it is decided to have the extra undead horses to pull the broken wagon until we reach Darromar at which Tyrrox will take over pulling the broken wagon. Thallatos decides to sling the skin of the Gorgon’s over their skeletal frame. The first night goes uneventful and Thallatos tries to weave the Gorgon’s skin back on to their frames. Ideally we are two days away from Darromar, keeping in mind we only travel at night; we will get there on the morning of the 14th of Eleasis. During the first day of rest, Tyrrox has first watch and he sees something fly overhead, but it had a vaguely humanoid shape and wing flapping. The thing eventually swoops around and begins to come back towards the caravan. It is not Torgeth because it is too thin, and it is not wearing metal. The creature doesn’t seem to attack at first, but does come closer eventually and gets about 100 feet away. The creature seems to put some type of spell on Tyrrox that forces Tyrrox to walk towards the creature. The creature sings and it makes it want to come closer. Upon walking closer Tyrrox begins to see that it is a Harpy, and as Tyrrox crosses a rise he notices four more hobgoblins standing in front of the harpy, two hill giants, and a green hag. Tyrrox is able to break free of the charm spell as he gets surrounded by foes and the battle starts. The hag says that she will have her revenge now for us killing her sisters, and then turns invisible. Then one of the hill giants charges Tyrrox with a big club. Tyrrox then falls back and shouts, “Attack from the North.” Only Thallatos is awakened after his imp and Oz wake him. The goblins run at Tyrrox and throw their javelins at Tyrrox. The other giant throws a large boulder at Tyrrox and misses just short. Tyrrox then hears footsteps around him but sees nothing. Thallatos and Vanemuine upon waking up see three ogres and several hobgoblins coming from the south side of the caravan. The ogres begin to sneak up on Vanemuine. Another harpy begins to sing close to Vanemuine and Leon, but they pass the save for it. Also a hill giant misses horribly as he throws a rock at Tyrrox and takes out a hobgoblin in the process. The hag attempts to drain Tyrrox’s strength, but Tyrrox passes the save and the hag becomes visible. Leon blasts the hag and starts her on fire. Another giant throws a bolder at Tyrrox and misses yet again. Tyrrox attempts to attack the hag and hits once for minimum damage. Hobgoblins continue throwing Javelins at Tyrrox and miss, and hobgoblins also attack Vanemuine and two miss and two hit. The one that misses actually critically misses and nearly kills himself. The hill giant again misses Tyrrox as he throws a boulder at him again. The harpy hits Tyrrox with a short bow, while Oz and Thallatos continue walking towards the other harpy because they failed her songs will save. Vanemuine completely burns the crap out of hobgoblin, and Tyrrox and Leon see patches of grass start on fire from all the fire spells. Tyrrox charges up to the square where Leon’s eldritch blast stopped and feels resistance, but still doesn’t see what he hit if he hit anything. Next attack a hill giant heaves a boulder at Tyrrox and grazes his helmet just missing. The hag appears halfway up Tyrrox’s lance and whispers, “Big Sister” and then dies. Leon casts an ice storm at the hill giants and hobgoblins by Tyrrox which also helps put out some of the brush fire that he started. The ice storm kills one of the hobgoblins and injures everyone else. A hill giant then tackles Tyrrox and knocks him over while yelling football, greatly confusing Tyrrox in the process. The ogre that critically missed Leon with the club now hits him with his javelin. Thallatos’ summoned minions continue beating on the ogres. A hobgoblin attempts to attack the tackled Tyrrox and misses, while the others attack Vanemuine and also miss. The other hill giant moves up to Tyrrox and the harpy misses another bow shot at Leon. The battle continues on and eventually the group subdues all of the giants, ogres, and hill giants. After the battle Leon heals Tyrrox back up to nearly full. Tyrrox comes up with a cunning plan to have Thallatos take an undead and form it in a wheel for the wagon that is now missing a wheel. However, Leon asks Tyrrox to run into Darromar, get supplies and a wheel and come back to the caravan once he has all the supplies. Tyrrox heads back to Darromar to get the dust for Thallatos, sell his old lance, and get a spare wheel and wagon and then heads back to the caravan. Once Tyrrox gets back he goes to sleep as the others prepare the wagon for travel. While Tyrrox is gone Leon and Thallatos have a very detailed conversation with each other in which they talk about their pasts and adventures so far. After a while of torturing poor Oz we head off to Darromar and Thallatos raises the giants as skeletons. Once we get close to the town we see a puff of smoke appear right by us. Out of it steps the Halfling that tested us when we get into the guild. She tells us that the guild president wants to see us before we deliver this food to the palace. Apparently what he has to tell us is in regards to stealing of the magic carpet that we have. We find Torgeth in wagon 17 and bring him with us to meet the president Mathias. Thallatos stays behind to guard the caravan. We all head into the president’s office. Apparently we all have warrants out for out arrests but Mathias tells us that he will help us out if we go back to Myratma and figure out who is stealing from the Myratma guild outpost to make Mathias’ Myratma guild outpost worthwhile. Mathias makes everyone in the group sign a contract that if we break it we will become deaf, blind, and mute. After this meeting we head to the queen to take care of our mission with the caravan. We head into the palace to complete the caravan mission, and meet the queen and the holy family. Firstly an orc comes out, similar to the one that Tyrrox killed by the pirate ship. He announces the entrance of the queen and the king who come out. The queen and king are both about 15 years old, which is impossible because they would have been like 10 during the war. The queen asks for our names and when she gets to Torgeth she places him under arrest for the murders of Terinor and Tamuril Brightblade. The queen thanks us all and tells us that there will be a small feast for us at which time afterwards we will head back to Myratma to complete Mathias’ mission to clear our names. Leon and Thallatos talk to each other about their dark past and experiences with Mephistopheles who apparently both have done dealings with. X.P. 1723 Plus Petition Petition Ideas: • Tyrrox o Willing to carry items from the wagon after it was broken by the Gorgons. (Tyrrox considers pulling a wagon to be below him). o Wheel idea with Thallatos’ undead. • Leon • Thallatos o Agreeing to try wheel idea that Tyrrox came up with. • Vanemuine • Everyone

Session 19 Sunday May 9th Once it gets to the correct time we head to the feast but first Tyrrox convinces a female bum named Patches to come as his guest. Tyrrox convinces Patches to come after showing her that he is a great dancer after dancing with another random stranger. Leon picks up another pair of clothes also before heading to the party. At the party there is a special chair designed for Tyrrox and the table for the honored guests, us, has about chairs for 26 seats. At the end of the table are the three royal children who are led in by a woman who is the teacher/nanny to the children. The children appear to be twins; two girls and a boy. We recognize several people at the table including Nym, Kingston, the high priestess of Siamorphe, the mayor and his wife that seems to have him whipped, the Orc body guard, Rando McMook, a member of the elite palace guard, etc. Zaranda, the queen, talks to Tyrrox about Timoth, the legendary Centaur that once saved her from captivity single handily. Leon and Zaranda talk about Leon’s past and how his family died in their house fire. Thallatos is able to see that the king is feeding and playing with a pseudo dragon familiar under the table which is platinum in color and is a rare thing to see. It seems that Rando McMook is very at home with talking with nobles and addressing them with their proper titles. Thallatos asks the queen about the lack of rain and she says that it has to be a magical source that is causing it, as the high level druids have yet to be able to control the weather and create rain. The head of the palace guard has several people come throughout the dinner and give him updates on the happenings of the castle. After dinner Tyrrox asks Zaranda to dance who is not at all good at dancing but dances with Tyrrox anyway. A female does come up to Tyrrox and asks him to dance and Tyrrox agrees. Tyrrox also tries to get the Orc to dance, but the Orc refuses. Thallatos talks with Nym quite a bit and about the rain that we aren’t getting. Nym mentions that control weather isn’t working. Next day Leon picks up all his magical crap from the store and also wakes up with a hangover because of all his drinking the next day. Tyrrox, along with the rest of the group, attempts to figure out how to get Tyrrox to go into Myratma without being seen. The group decides to get Thallatos into the guild as a desk clerk so that he can investigate the guild’s documents to try to find the corruption. After a long and drawn out conversation with the guild leader we decide to do the leader’s mission, and use the mission reward to pay off the debt that we owe to the Myratma guild section. The mission is to simply find out the corruption in the Myratma guild branch and eliminate it anyway possible. The crown decides to send an agent to help us with finding any corruption in Myratma, and it turns out to be Thallatos’ sister. The first day of travel goes uneventful as Vanemuine and Thallatos’ sister travel on the carpet, Leon flies, Thallatos rides his skeletal gorgon, and Tyrrox runs along. The first night watches also go uneventful. The second days travel goes uneventful also and during the night watches Thallatos’ imp spots two giants and Thallatos proceeds to have his skeletons wake up the sleeping members of the party, and the battle breaks out. The battle starts by Thallatos moving up his minions to attack the giants while Leon flies up into the air and turns invisible. The giants start to heave giant boulders at the undead giants. Tyrrox charges up at a giant, but misses him and charges past to position for the next charge. Leon blasts the giant that Tyrrox missed with a brimstone blast. The giants then move up to attack the undead while the undead charge the giants to return the favor. Tyrrox then charges at the giant once more and actually hits him doing massive damage which knocks him down unconscious. Leon then hits the remaining giant with a brimstone blast doing decent damage as well. Suddenly Leon is engulfed with burning hot smoke that tears his eyes and is very uncomfortable. Leon then hears galloping and sees a nightmare charge by with a night hag riding it that attempts to bite Leon as she charges by. She critically bites Leon doing bleed damage and inflicting him with an unknown disease. Next the undead charge the remaining giant who then promptly returns the favor by attacking the undead. Tyrrox then charges the remaining giant doing massive damage but not enough this time to take the giant down. Leon discovers a bunch of information about the Nightmare and the Night Hag that he is single handily fighting currently. Leon blasts the Nightmare with his eldritch blast using all five charges doing decent damage. During the Night Hag’s next turn the Nightmare comes down to the ground blowing more smoke at Leon while the Night Hag summons shadowy figures to do her bidding and the Night Hag and her Nightmare go ethereal. The shadowy summons move up towards Thallatos and his undead with a hypnotizing sound coming from them. Thallatos then has a couple of his undead attack the giant and kill it. Because the Night Hag and Nightmare are in the ethereal plane we cannot affect her but she can still see us as long as we are within 60 feet of her. Tyrrox charges at one of the shadowy figures and manages to take it out. The shadowy figures then move up and try to incorporeal touch attack us and hit a few of us and miss others. In order to get rid of the shadowy figures, Leon drops a fireball from a scroll on them. The Night Hag and Nightmare reappear and successfully bite Tyrrox inflicting him with a disease. Tyrrox misses his attack on the Nightmare, but Leon is able to successfully blast the Nightmare and took it out. The Night Hag then turns ethereal again so Tyrrox moves towards the shadowy figures to try and take some of them out. The group is able to take out a bunch of the shadowy creatures, but Thallatos is severely Wisdom drained from them and has to fall back slowly to avoid going into a coma. The Night Hag then runs away from the battle and we are able to take out the remaining shadowy creatures ending the battle successfully. 2083 X.P. plus Petition Petition IdeasTyrroxBringing a hobo to the royal party. All the dancing throughout the session. ThallatosAsking the queen about the rain. Talk with his sister. LeonRandom popping up giving random facts while Thallatos and Nym talk.

I know this was stated before but although Tabitha is Thallatos' sister, it is not in-character knowledge to the players.

Thallatos also bought Robin a cart to move the food on so he didn't have to steal one. It's nitpicky but it cost me gold so I thought i'd bring it up.

Session 21, Saturday June 19th, 2010 The session starts with Tyrrox and Vanemuine at the castle hiring a bunch of people and a foreman to help rebuild the castle and prepare it for livable life. Tyrrox and Vanemuine decide to travel to Zazesspur to hire a priest to help feed and heal workers at the castle. Once in the town we ask a little girl where the nearest church is, but Tyrrox calls her a little boy. At this church of Tyr we are more or less told that they have enough problems here and they send us to a church down the road. At this church of Ilmater we are able to hire a cleric, Nym Eveningfall to come with us back to Castle Tethyr to help heal and feed people using magic. After introductions we head back to the castle with Nym riding the magic carpet with Vanemuine. Back over to Leon and Thallatos, Leon starts to tail Samir. Samir goes into a room and starts eating bread. Eventually he leaves and Leon loses track of Samir. Eventually Leon is able to find Samir again after a few minutes of searching. Eventually Leon finds himself close to the Efreetium where we started the riot and stole the magic carpet. Leon hovers above the table that Samir is sitting at invisibly. Leon waits for Samir to walk away and touches him to copy his image. Samir orders another Filibuster and clearly starts to look bored now. A woman does eventually walk in and confronts Samir and demands something from him. He says he will find out tomorrow. Leon then follows the woman out and notices that she has pink eyes and tries to gather as much information by looking like Samir. Thallatos is back at the guild post working trying to continue figuring out more about the mission. Thallatos notices the rival party at the guild post and the rival party asks for someone who matches the description of Leon. Thallatos tells the group about the night hag that is tormenting Leon and the group agrees to wait for Thallatos to finish working so that he can explain what has happened so far. Once Leon gets back to Myratma’s guild post he goes to the inn with the rival party to discuss what has happened lately. At the inn Leon tells the group that him and everyone else met the royal family and are rebuilding Castle Tethyr and Helena can’t understand why, and then says that she is going to bed. Thallatos’ shift finally finishes and Leon leaves the room and heads to the bar area and waits for Thallatos. Back at the castle we introduce Nym to Red Foreman and the men that are working that he would be providing food and water to. Tyrrox goes off to find a couple slackers who have stopped working and disappeared. Tyrrox, Nym, and Vanemuine go to investigate the small hall to look for the slackers and notice blood on the walls and lots of weeds and overgrowth. We investigate the rooms and in one we discover what appears to be a cloak, but upon going up to it, it flies up in the air and spins around to attack us. Nym attempts to cast a searing light at the creature but misses it. Tyrrox stabs it with his lance and the creature flies up into the air and is stabbed once more by Tyrrox’s lance. The creature continues to moan and almost makes Tyrrox throw up. Vanemuine shoots the creature with a firebolt and Tyrrox shoots it with two more arrows while Nym holds his ground waiting for the creature to come down into attacking reach. The creature then creates mirror images of itself that help prevent us from telling which one is actually it. Eventually we pick off the illusions and Nym is able to finish off the creature entirely. Tyrrox congratulates Nym for a job well done killing the cloaker. We continue checking rooms and seeing various pictures with dragons and battle scenes, broken furniture, etc. The group then tries to investigate the central courtyard and finds birds and a tree. Tyrrox, however, finds the bathrooms and is very confused at what it is and can’t understand why people would do that inside. Nym and Vanemuine discover that there are some secret doors that just lead to rooms we were already in. Nym hears clucking coming from at the top of the stairs in a corner room. At the top of the stairs is a Cockatrice. Nym casts divine power in order to pump up his melee attack next turn. At Nym’s next turn he bashes the Cockatrice with his Morningstar dealing decent damage. Vanemuine casts a fireball, and Nym finishes the creature off by bashing it with his Morningstar. Nym and Vanemuine start heading back towards Tyrrox and Tyrrox finds a mop that he thinks is magical. The group then goes into another room across the hall and discovers it is a shrine with a secret door that leads to an office. There is nothing but paperwork, quill pens, bottle of ink, etc. Moving into another corner room we hear a large rumble come from the basement, so we investigate and discover a skeleton serpent looking creature that we attack. The battle is extremely tough and Vanemuine is almost devoured by the creature as his skeleton feels like it is siphoned into the creature. Nym casts bull strength and finally we are able to take out the creature successfully all because of the beautiful Nym. Once the battle is over Nym is able to make the connection that there were no bones upstairs because this creature had them all. While Nym is figuring this out Tyrrox is going into a rage because of Vanemuine’s skeleton being siphoned into the creature and Vanemuine’s fleshy skin falling to the ground. Back with Leon and Thallatos, Leon convinces the ghost at the gambling ghost to a card game with the stipulation that if Leon wins the ghost has to do something for Leon. Leon wins so the ghost has to play a card game with the Hag. The ghost won so she is forced to put her nightstone in the hands of Leon which means that she can’t stay in the ethereal plane anymore. Once she reappears in the material plane Thallatos gets a surprise attack on her and they fight the hag in a battle in which Thallatos uses his rod of wonder which warp touched her and gave her wings that do not function. The battle goes well after Thallatos summons vampires to help defeat the hag with Leon doing the final blow. This battle has caused the inn to go into total chaos. Petition Ideas: • Tyrrox o Bathroom antics. o Magical mop and “powerful weapons closet.” • Nym o Playing a cleric appropriately and learning the game relatively smoothly. • Vanemuine o Role-playing to get Nym into our group. • Leon o Card game thing with Hag. • Thallatos o Card game thing with Hag.

Session 22 Saturday July 10th, 2010
The session starts with Tyrrox screaming and once finished, we head back to Zazesspur in order find a powerful cleric that can resurrect Vanemuine. Rodney, the pink Paladin shows up and escorts us to the church of Sune. Tyrrox gets a little upset as this is where he was brought by Torgeth earlier in the campaign. The head priestess, Sofi, tells us that she can resurrect Vanemuine but it will cost about 10,000. In order to get money, Tyrrox sells the magic carpet and uses the money to resurrect Vanemuine and also to buy him a smaller carpet. As Vanemuine is resurrected his bones reappears. Tyrrox gives Vanemuine a big hug and all his gear. The three of us then decide to rest for a day or two while Vanemuine heals off his weaknesses. Tyrrox decides to go out and buy Vanemuine a smaller magic carpet that is only meant for him instead of two to four people. The group then rests while Vanemuine attempts to gather himself back from being dead. The next day Thallatos attempts to remove his fatigue from being brought back from the dead, and gets rid of all but two negative levels. We decide to wait another day so that Vanemuine is able to heal off all of the negative effects of his death. Once Vanemuine is healed we head back to the castle. Back at Myratma with Leon and Thallatos, the inn is in complete chaos as the battle with the hag has ended and mass amounts of explosions and swordplay has taken place. The two of them decide to leave the scene and come back through the entrance of the inn and act like they weren’t even there. Leon heads back to Castle Tethyr and tells Red Foreman to tell Tyrrox and Vanemuine to be at the castle in two days. Leon then heads back to Myratma and find out that his girlfriend is pregnant. Leon tells Helena’s group that his group is rebuilding the castle. Helena asks Leon to go get her a pickle and peanut butter sandwich.
Leon and Thallatos then go to Samir’s house and find him sitting a chair with a hole in his neck dead. They ask him questions from his grave such as how he died; crossbow, who did it; Lualin, who has been raiding the guild post caravans; eyes of night, where can we find the eyes of night; somewhere in Myratma, will the eyes of the night be coming to castle Tethyr tomorrow; don’t know. Leon then takes the appearance of Samir and goes outside and gets peppered with crossbow bolts. Leon then moves towards the person shooting him while invisible using detects magic items to find the person. Eventually he finds the person(s) and is able to get them to surrender by blasting them constantly. This is the female that killed Samir. Leon tries to turn invisible but the woman blasts him with fairy fire. Leon asks why she killed Samir and she says that he got sloppy and had outlived his usefulness. Both Leon and the woman then disappear into the night…
Leon then goes to a cleric of Tyr and asks them to resurrect Samir but they refuse, so he goes to a random person on the street and asks him to resurrect Samir. The man asks if there will be fire involved, Leon says yes, so he agrees. The man actually reincarnates Samir, but randomly back into a human. Leon and Thallatos question Samir and force him to come back to Darromar with them to turn him into the guild leader there. Leon and Thallatos have Helena’s group gather up their caravan and within the hour head to the Castle. The idea is to set an ambush for the people raiding the caravan. The group will return to Castle Tethyr to get Tyrrox and Vanemuine to help with springing the ambush. Leon, Thallatos, Helena, and the horde sleep in the throne room where Leon and Tyrrox were killed by that woman and the genie. In the morning two hill giant skeletons are missing as well as the elf and gnome who wandered off and the skeletons followed because they were instructed to protect everyone. Thallatos goes to search for them and eventually finds them and regroups. The next day passes uneventful and the next day comes and the group finally reunites. Once Nym and Thallatos talk about Thallatos’ necromancy, we prepare for the caravan to be attacked by the eyes of the night. Once they attack the undead, now called the respected undead, will jump out of the caravan and attack the eyes of the night individuals. There is a little in group tension between Leon, Thallatos and Nym because of the nature of Leon and Thallatos.
As we are camping waiting for the attack we are shouted at by a man who says to “surrender and no one will be hurt.” The battle takes a very long time, but eventually we are able to take out everyone that attacked except for the leader who ran away. It should be noted that we basically will have to take out the most powerful guild in Tethyr in order to complete the mission Darromar’s guild master, Mathias, gave us.
Petition Ideas: • Tyrrox o Creative way to make money for Vanemuine’s resurrection. • Nym o Performs spells to speed up Vanemuine’s healing process o Slaps himself after meeting Thallatos • Vanemuine o Comes back to life • Leon o Reincarnating Samir • Thallatos o Reincarnating Samir o Makes agreement to never turn party members into zombies

I don't mind Thallatos getting petition but didn't we already ask him to leave our bodies alone? Is this some form of "protection"?

Session 23 Saturday July 24th, 2010 The session starts with us looting and Thallatos raising the “honorable dead.” There are also about three prisoners to note. On the dead bodies is a lot of armor, weapons, arrows, about 1500 gold, gems. The major character had gauntlets, two rings, chain shirt that materialized after she died, two scimitars with two crystals attached to them. Thallatos animates the dancer girl, the casters, and up to 14 others. Once we finish looting we start to head back to Darromar with the prisoners so that we can complete our mission. Leon and Tyrrox head back to Zazesspur to identify magic items, sell gear, etc. The rest of the group will start the march towards Darromar. Red Foreman and some other workers come with us to Zazesspur while the others take off of work. We send the workers home because we are afraid that the castle will be attacked by the guild that we fought with last session. After much debate Tyrrox allows Bobo to ride him with Garm to Zazesspur to sell all of our items. Once at the town we search for a magic item shop to identify the magic items we took off of the dancing girl. We find a nocturnal Gnome merchant that we sell everything to and take a night’s rest and head back to Darromar the next day. While marching to Darromar, Nym Thallatos and Vanemuine are attacked in the rear by two giant spiders. The battle goes fairly well for the group as Nym starts off by causing a small earthquake and damaging the spiders severely. Thallatos’ undead minions then brutally attack the spiders, one of which is prone. During the battle Thallatos is turned into a statue and his undead that were attacking continue attacking that target, and the rest go on a rampage attacking everything. Vanemuine and Nym get on the magic carpet and begin to fly away in order to fight another day leaving Thallatos alone in stone form temporarily. The remaining spider grabs one of Thallatos’ skeleton’s, the dancing lady, and runs off. About after 20 minutes of being at the castle Leon and Tyrrox see Nym and Vanemuine fly overhead. We are able to get their attention to stop them and they explain what has happened at the battle they were just in. Leon is able to figure out that these creatures are called Reavers and are created in the lower planes by demon lords and are sent to retrieve someone and return to their master. We decide to head towards the battle to look for tracks and do indeed find the horse tracks that Thallatos was on. Unfortunately Tyrrox loses the tracks after two hours and we decide to give up on the search. On the way back to Darromar Tyrrox picks up a trail of another horse but the prisoner that was tied to it has broken off so we give up on that trail and continue onward to Darromar. Eventually we run into a pair of dwarves on the road that say hi and we say hi and just let keep walking. The next day we get to Darromar without any encounters. Once in the city Leon and Tyrrox go to Mathias to talk to him about the guild mission and everything we have gone through. Tyrrox goes to a divination school to find a mage that can track down the location of Thallatos so that Mathias can teleport us to his location. Tyrrox decides to go to the mage that had a guild mission earlier in the campaign to have Tyrrox help test him out a spell. The mages butler, Wilfred, tells Tyrrox to come back the next day at around noon and perhaps to offer assistance in preparing for one of his spells in order to get him to scrye for the location of Thallatos.

Session 25, September 6th, 2009 The session starts with Tyrrox dancing in the middle of the town with random women and he actually gathers quite a crowd dancing rather well. Tyrrox also manages to find a traveling one man band to play music for him and the dancers. Nym goes back to his church and does penance for the fact that he has spent so much time with Thallatos the necromancer. The head of Nym’s order has him flog himself and wear uncomfortable clothing for a little bit. The rest of the day we just spend relaxing and sleeping. The next day Tyrrox head over to Egbert the wizard who hopefully can help the group find Thallatos. Nym goes with Tyrrox who are escorted to Egbert and ask him to find Thallatos for the group. Egbert tries to have Tyrrox and Nym find a scroll of crying but they are unable to read the scrolls, so Wilfred gets the scroll for Egbert. Tyrrox and Nym are then forced to go get a mirror for the scrying spell for Egbert to find Thallatos. Tyrrox and Nym try to describe Thallatos for Egbert to find Thallatos; unfortunately neither is able to describe Thallatos enough for Egbert to find him, and Egbert finds the man that is holding up the ceiling of an inn. Tyrrox and Nym agree to go find Vanemuine to discuss what to do next. Vanemuine, while Tyrrox and Nym are at the wizard’s tower, is off taking a bath in a washing well and convinced everyone that he was a sprite. Once done with that, Vanemuine goes back to the Moneybags hotel to find Tyrrox and Nym who did go back to the Moneybags hotel to wait for Vanemuine. Vanemuine tells Tyrrox and Nym that himself and Leon found Thallatos through the Queen of Tethyr scrying, and a Halfling wizard teleported them there. Thallatos was actually in a battle already and didn’t know it. The wizard then teleported Vanemuine back to tell Tyrrox and Nym while they walk back the hard way. The next day we head out of the town to head to the castle, but receive a telepathic message from the queen to discuss what has happened in the past few days. After the info dump on what has happened, the queen gives us an escort that will help us clear out the castle and repair it, and his name is Lhaeo. Lhaeo gets Nym a horse and we head back to Castle Tethyr as a group. We figure out that it will take a week to get to the castle, and during the first watch of the first night, Tyrrox sees fog, but for fog there must be water vapor which is in rare demand so it’s weird that there is fog. Tyrrox then uses his fan of wind to blow the fog away. It does slowly come back, however, and Tyrrox hears out of nowhere grunting and rainbow beams of light and within the light is a silhouette of something very big and Tyrrox is confused how it got so close with a body of an ape and a face of a boar with wings that are small but it still seems to be hovering. The creature appears to be a man-bear-pig and it dazes Vanemuine and Lhaeo and gives Tyrrox the intelligence of a lizard which means his intelligence and charisma go to one. The creature than turns invisible and flies up forty feet to get out of reach of Tyrrox’s charge reach. Nym casts Heal on Vanemuine, which allows him to fly up to the creature using the magic carpet and attack it. During the battle Nym and Vanemuine see fog start to rise up towards the monster from the ground. Eventually the fog materializes into a being behind the creature and attacks the monster, but misses. The monster starts to charge up to cast the dazing spell again. The creature’s daze affects both Vanemuine and the mysterious man that appeared behind the creature who falls to the ground from the daze. Lhaeo then casts gaseous form and starts t float up to the creature. The monster casts dispel on Lhaeo’s gaseous form and Lhaeo then falls to the ground. The mysterious man and Vanemuine then get un-dazed and go back into the battle. Eventually we are able to bring the creature down to low enough hit points that it teleports away. Nym is able to figure out that this is a demon that someone summoned to attack us. This is the second demon attack on us that was summoned. Also this is a very difficult creature to fight and whatever summoned it and the spider demons is very strong. After the battle Tyrrox is still acting completely stupid and needs a heal spell or wish or miracle spell to fix it. Nym starts to ride Tyrrox and gives him a sugar cube. Vanemuine calls Tyrrox a horsey and they begin to drag Tyrrox on a leash. When the next session starts we should be asking the mysterious man who he is and what he is doing.

Session 27, Saturday November 6th, 2010 The session starts by Thallatos grabbing various dead bodies from the battlefield and starts to resurrect them as skeletons for his undead army. Both Leon and Thallatos decide to leave town and continuously on the road by having the skeletal horses move forward as they sleep one at a time until they reach the capital of Tethyr Darromar. Within the capital Leon goes to meet the queen in an effort to explain to her about the plagued dwarves that are in a city on the queen’s land. It seems though that these dwarves are technically in the UnderDark which is below the queen’s land. The people of the land are all undead including the king of the city, who is actually a dragon. Leon and Thallatos give the queen several books from the cities that are fairly valuable. It would seem that after going into the dungeon that Torgeth has either escaped or is dead, but probably has escaped. Leon and Thallatos then head towards Castle Tethyr. Back with Nym, Vanemuine and Tyrrox the battle with the demons is over but it is extremely smelly so we decide to move our camp to another area. After moving our camp upwind of the battle Tyrrox starts to watch and sees and hears nothing. Vanemuine’s watch also goes uneventful. The next day we travel for 60 more miles putting us about two days away from the castle. Once night comes Nym watches with extremely great ears, but his watch as well as the other group’s goes uneventful. During the next day we travel onward for another 60 miles putting us a little less than a day away from the castle. The last night of watches go fairly uneventful, but a half hour before sunrise something flies over head rather large in size. The creature seems to be heading towards west which is the same direction as us. Vanemuine wakes up Tyrrox who also sees the creature who agrees that it may be a dragon. The group then wakes up and continues to head to the castle. Late in the day we reach the castle and start to search for Helena and her group. We find Helena who says that her group is in the town gathering supplies. Tyrrox mentions that the next morning Tyrrox will go to Zazesspur to get Red Foreman and other workers while Nym and Vanemuine go to surrounding farms to gather workers to continue repairing the castle. At the town Tyrrox gathers Red Foreman and some other workers with 20 mules, supplies and heads back to the castle. Once reaching the castle Tyrrox sees a massively large crab approaching the castle gates. Tyrrox orders Red and the workers to stay put while Tyrrox goes to take on the crab. The crab is blue with runes on it. Tyrrox charges the crab and the crab returns fire with a laser at Tyrrox. Tyrrox then realizes that Thallatos is controlling the crab and the fight stops. Thallatos killed this huge crab and raised it back as a skeleton. Basically it is a huge tank that people can ride in. The crab is a siege crab and is extremely useful to travel in. The group re-unites and explains everything that has been going on. We decide to first clear the castle, and then take out the gang that is trying to attack us, then go to the mountains to search if the drought is coming from there, and finally go back to the undead dwarf city to gather more books from the library. We as a group enter the small hall and begin to clear it out. We discover about 10 Cockatrice’s on the second floor and one medium larger cockatrice. We take them all out and Leon burns their flesh off and stores the bones downstairs to be risen later. The group also takes out a swarm of rats that Thallatos also saves to raise later. Once the building is clear, Tyrrox has Red Foreman start to clean out the building and fix it up and put it into a useable state. The group then proceeds to the stable and inspects it to make sure that it is safe and stores the mules in them. Tyrrox then lets Red know that he can store the mules in the stables. Next the group goes through the towers checking them out to make sure that they are clear. For the most part the towers are clear except for minor animals that came in and left throughout the years. Next up is the barracks of the castle which is similar in size to the small hall. The barracks is three floors with lots of bedrooms of course and an armory. The group decides to have Tyrrox build a new building in which he will live and all of the weird and odd creatures that visit the town will stay. The session ends with two main buildings to explore. 2050 X.P. plus petition

As I mentioned in the other thread, I have separated my notes out into a separate topic in order to make things cleaner and more easily accessible for all of us. Now this topic contains only Ken's notes and all the comments people have made so far, while the other topic contains my notes. Once again I have to state how helpful it is for me to have another set of notes to refer to when writing my own, as I frequently get things out of chronological order or miss details, which Ken's notes help me fix. I use my own notes as a way to provide other details that either got missed at the time, or sometimes things that I forgot to mention but meant to say in the game. In case you don't want to sift through the couple of pages of my new thread, here is a direct link to the new summaries I posted: realmsgame.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=95&page=2#951That should take you to Session 26 Part 1, the first of three new posts. The others are, of course, Session 26 Part 2 and Session 27.

Session 28, Saturday November 20th, 2010 The session starts with the group heading to Zazesspur to buy a bronze holding tank for all the water that Nym will be creating, all the architecture supplies that Tyrrox will need for building the new monstrous creature building within Castle Tethyr. There is also a lot of magic item buying going on. After the magic item purchasing is finished the group goes to buy the water tank and then Tyrrox goes to the Smiling Centaur to talk to Berdack. The bronze water tower will hold half a million gallons of water and will take several days to build and will be carried back by siege crab. Tyrrox discovers that the Smiling Centaur was built illegally as the architecture plans haven’t been recorded. Leon then has Kingston start up a lawsuit to have the building foreclosed and put up on auction in which we will buy the building and either operate it in Zazesspur or move it to our castle. Back at the castle we begin to clear out the main building starting with the throne room which has signs of a battle that we were in earlier in the campaign in which Leon and Tyrrox were killed. We continue to explore the building and discover a dining room, kitchens with smoke holes and all the appliances are missing, a cafeteria with a single bathroom, various empty rooms, more bathrooms, an art gallery, a church, an interior court yard with a fountain, waiting rooms, a storage room with a trap door that goes down into a room with a large iron door that also leads to a large empty room and finally conference rooms. On the second floor we see a huge hole that leads to the first floor, a stairway that leads to a third floor that has collapsed, the other side of the building on the second floor we split up into Leon and Tyrrox and Thallatos, Nym and Vanemuine in another group. Thallatos, Vanemuine and Nym explore the second floor while Tyrrox, Leon and Leo go to the third floor. The second floor group discovers what was once wealthy bedrooms, bathrooms, a play/living room, a smashed walkway that led outside. The third floor group finds small rooms that make Leo apprehensive because he knows in detail what happened here and this area is where the old king died through being murdered by his oldest son who was impatient at waiting for the throne. The third floor also has two larger rooms with intact and closed doors to them. As Tyrrox attempts to enter the room the other group comes upstairs to rejoin us. The door knob opens but the door won’t open so Tyrrox attempts to break the door down and completely smashes it. This room was on fire, but is better preserved. This room seems to be an anti-chamber where people would wait while the king/queen waited in their bed room. There is a flicker of light coming from under the next door which is also closed and fire blackened. Thallatos gets an overwhelming sense of undead coming from inside the room. Leon agrees to open the door because he believes the undead behind the door are on fire and he has fire resistance. Leon tries to kick in the door and hurts himself so he shoots it with an eldritch blast causing the door to disintegrate. Behind the door are skeletons on fire with another skeleton draped in very expensive burnt clothing with a red gem in one eye and a black gem in the other eye. Finally there is a spectral figure draped entirely in darkness. The specter flies through the wall and outside. The battle goes fairly smooth while the group easily dispatches the fire skeletons, but the group is hit by a fireball from the skeleton with the two gems as eyes. Leo goes incorporeal and flies through the wall possibly after the specter. Tony’s character, Solius, whom we passed going back to Castle Tethyr and ignored entirely, heads to Myratma where he begins to look for his children. He finds that his daughter and son’s houses are empty and locked. He also remembers getting a letter from his son that his daughter was joining a dance contest about a month and a half ago. Solius tries to get information on how the contest went and finds himself at the Gambling ghost. Solius figures out that Torgeth killed both of his children and Solius also figures out that Torgeth has escaped from prison and finally finds out that our group was associated with him and stole the flying carpet. Solius then starts to head back towards the direction he saw the flying carpet and centaur going. Back at the battle Solius starts to come up to the castle walking his gryphon and sees some flickers of light coming from the top of the castle and also sees a flying man getting his ass kicked by a shadowy figure. Thallatos gets panicked from the skeleton with the gems as the eyes and starts to run away from the battle at top speed. Vanemuine charges the gem eyed skeleton and hits extremely well dealing a fair amount of damage. Leon flies outside the castle and sees the specter attacking Leo, so he fires an eldritch blast at the specter hitting it for a massive amount of damage. Nym moves up and shoots a searing light at the skeleton with the gem eyes finishing it off and the gems fall to the ground. Tyrrox finishes off the last fire skeleton leaving only the specter. Eventually the specter is finished off and disappears, and at that a conversation breaks out as we are introduced to Solius and he tells us how he is trying to find Torgeth. We tell him that Torgeth is likely in Myratma, but seeing as Solius has to rest for the night he travels with us as we clear out the basement/dungeon of this building which is empty. We discover that this dungeon is where the bathrooms go to and the past prisoners were used to clean it. With that we have successfully cleared out this main building and discover lastly that the building does have a vault that we can use now. Finally we clear the last building and it is a guest apartments. With that Tyrrox goes up to Red and tells him that every building is clear. In order to fix the buildings we will need stone workers to fix up the grand hall. X.P. is 2000 plus petition.

Session 29, Sunday December 12th, 2010 We start the session by finishing up gear shopping. Vanemuine receives an Amulet of Natural Armor +5. Tyrrox gets Heavy Fortification added to his armor and +1 charging to his lance making it a +2 valorous charging lance. Finally, we buy a fortified carriage that has the following qualities: • Gargantuan carriage for 400gp • Mithril armor plated giving it 30 hit points and 15 hardness costing 3500gp • Under that is wood 10hp and 5 hardness • It has a ballista which is 500gp with a firing castle that costs 1000gp • Passenger space is doubled which costs 400gp After loading up we start to head to Myratma with siege crab and the Mithril wagon. Lhaeo asks Thallatos if the undead we fought in the king’s chambers may have been the remains of the king and his son. Thallatos figures out that some sort of residual memory remains in the wraith as the king though it isn’t truly the king. After seven hours of travel we start to approach Myratma. Leon and Thallatos decide to enter the town but with Leon invisible. Leon figures out that there is one other main gang in town and it is called the Whisper Knives which is a gang made up of Halflings and Gnomes primarily. The first day at Myratma is spent by Leon, Thallatos, and Vanemuine running around town trying to gather information and setup meetings. The second day Tyrrox takes a trip to Zazesspur to get Leon and himself a ring of sustenance. The group, minus Tyrrox meets with Bone Saw who takes everyone to Lord Seth. Nym figures out that this mansion is owned by the family Jhannivvar whom founded Myratma. The civil war ended here because a family member named himself king as the other dispute ended which caused the war to continue until he was killed and this building has been left in ruins. We tell Lord Seth that we know he has been watching us and we tell him that we plan on attacking the Eyes of the Night. These are the gang that has been summoning the demons to attack us.
