Intro

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. Today I am playing the D&D; Adventure System with Derek, Colin, Chris and Gabriel in the adventure The Portal Closes with the D&D; Adventure Cooperative Game. It is Bracha, Deepkolt the 10th and my name is Adam.

Recap

* It is the Fifth Age of Krynn. With the God’s return, the socio-political factions across Ansalon are in upheaval. The Knights are seeking to rebuild the High Clerist’s Tower which fell in the Chaos War, but they have discovered a horrible secret that has been hidden since the Age of Might. The High Clerist’s Tower was built over an ancient Temple of Chemosh. It was meant as a seal, protecting Solamnia from Chemosh’s Bone Acolytes, millenia ago. And it was successful, until the Secundus Cataclius and the destruction of the tower.

* The Knights of Solamnia have already sent in a party to close the portal to the Abyss which must be the source of the evil. But they failed to return and the knighthood feared the worst. They have conscripted you, our intrepid heroes, to enter the Ancient Temple of Chemosh, rescue the knights if any survived, and stop the evil within. You have fought your way into the temple. You have located the knights and freed them from their tormentors, and located the portal guarded by a dracolich! Now you must close the portal at all costs.

* Start the Adventure Copy

* With the Dracolich defeated, you are certain the portal lies under its vile remains. After hours of clearing away the ancient bones, you uncover the portal and with no clue how to close it, you drop to the floor in despair. Then the faint sound of chanting echoes from within the portal. You recognise it as an abyssal language. It must be a ritual of Chemosh! Shivers run up your spine as the worst case scenario fills your mine–if your fears are correct, this chanting portends the connection of this portal with the Abyss, and the end to life as you know it on Krynn! You must enter the portal, find the source of the ritual, and end it before it is complete. Time is of the essence, go!

* When the Heroes Reveal the Dire Chamber Entrance Tile, Read:

* The chamber widens to reveal a crowd of evil cultists of Chemosh performing the ritual to open the portal to the Abyss. This is your chance to stop it and save Krynn!
