    We pick our session back up at the Winn Keep right after installing a new King on the Thone and waking up from the traditional pub crawl with him.  We then spend the day going over our plans and talking to Alithir the Bard.  Then we learn something very interesting about Talos that's been close to 2 years in the making.  So sit back, relax and enjoy.

  • A Fey Relocation Project Session 60

    Well session 60 was a blast.  We start off with the final battle between our party and the would be usurper Morgrim Emberveil, before saying goodbye for now to Joe who has been playing Tooth since session 5.  He will be back at some point along our journey towards endgame, but we all thank him for the best of times and wish him well as real life steps in for awhile.  So sit back, relax and enjoy the end of the revolt at Winn Keep.
