This time, the PCs leave Orc City and head back for Imperial Ward (via Keep Xaceos, a trip of 55+ days through the mountains).
They have plenty of food and are on their way but the road is narrow and treacherous.
Continue readingThe PCs could leave… The Lorien Havashar escort them to the edge of Madh Goi (Orc City) but they can’t resist and dive back in.
Continue readingThe PCs resist their (somewhat lame) torturers and escape the Orc Starship with the help of Dor Khall.
Continue readingThe PCs are tapped to go on a secret mission with another party, The Heroes of Godfrey go with them:
After the entertaining side trip for the rod with the occupied Gem the Orcs attacked from the outlands. First, a sphere fell from the sky with a gutteral thump that everyone in the city felt in their chests. The Magic Users didn’t feel it in their chests though… they felt it in their minds. The clerics also lost their spells.
Once the sphere landed in the city an arrow was shot from somewhere and this seemed to cause fires to spring up in a line into the west.
The first wave began scaling the walls shortly thereafter. The attack was intense and sudden. A tactic to tie the attackers’ arms to the ladders seemed to turn the tide and the overwhelming hoard left the walls to camp out of range.
XP: 3,000
Cory, Reck, and Baughb took a job to capture a scepter with a large ruby at the end that apparently holds his father.
The group pretended to be delivery group and was able to steal the rod.

The party was in the middle of a battle with worm shambling mounds from the source of the creatures. They found that blades and arrows had little effect.
Cory had taken a pine tar-soaked cloak and wrapped it around the shambling worm creature and found that it seemed to dissolve the worms before running out of power. This attack had eroded the shambling worm mound to the point that something was visible inside. Something white and the size of a watermelon in the head area with tendrils reaching out to the extremities of the worm creature.

Their worries were shown to be justified two leaders burst out with archers, warriors, and acolytes at their back. They immediately set to the party with the fighter, Soghurut, doing a job on Baughb and the cleric, Kraol, engulfing Eol in a flame pillar that took his breath away. Continue reading
As the party left the room with the intelligent, chess-playing, zombie they headed south along the hall. They hadn’t taken more than a few steps before light and voices were approaching from around the corner. They had little time to react as a group of Orcs in religious robes rounded the corner (1. below). Continue reading
