S01E25 Arriving at Mountain Hall tired, Hathus exhausted even, the newcomers are disarmed but allowed through. Before meeting with Hartfast, head of the House of the Mountain Hall, the companions buy various items from the well stocked trading post. During the audience with an initially suspicious Hartfast, he eventually opens up to tell the fellowship of something afoot down south in the Gladden fields, around an old fort made by evil folk called the Dwimmerhorn. Of more concern to him, however, is the sound of goblin miners deep below the hold. They could break through to his own mines within months and asks Monin to check over the mines and report back in a few days. Dismissed, the party amble to the hall where they partake in good food and drink before retiring for the night, satisfied. The party are awoken in the middle of the night by shouts of alarm. We join them as Amalfrida has just looked outside the lodgings into the dark of night to try to spot the cause of the disturbance.

This episode will have some jump cuts to speed up the session and, as it is the second part to the same session you may spot the occasional yawn from some old tired old codger!

S01E30 The caged statue was the representation of an unfollowed god, Orgiana. Most the players communed with her but only Ugnan took pity upon her and, seeing nothing untoward in her manner, agreed to follow her in return for her helping bring the search for the Portal Rods and the Aisling Stone to an end. The Goddess told her new acolyte where the stone was but first the party explored the rest of the temple, discovering altars to the twelve dark gods and four rooms, each with a Soulstone able to bring back the dead. Ugnan realised his mistake too late but, deal struck, the party headed towards the stairs leading down to where their first artefact should lie.

S01E24 A job well done, the fellowship took a break for a few months. Amalfrida decided to spend time with her people back at Beorn's Hall. Hathus and Monin travelled south to Rhosgobel opening it up as a sanctuary. While there, Monin's despair lessened but Sigmarr, back at Woodland Hall, was unable to shake the grip of dark foreboding from his experience in Irimë's harrowing dream. Hearing reports of shadow, Radagast tasked the party to head north to Hartfast of Mountain Hall. This woodman leader should know of any evil doings in the area. Gaining gifts from the brown wizard, the fellowship headed back into the wilderness where they were set upon by wolves. Victorious, the friends continued their journey.

This episode will have some jump cuts to speed up the session and apologies for the occasional yawn from one of the doddering old fools playing! Must have missed his afternoon nap!

S01E29 The tall skeletal guardians inflicted a wound on Sylke that was beyond Ugnan's healing spells. Fortunately, the party had a powerful herb that, once brewed and prepared, could knit her shattered wrist back together. After taking the opportunity for a longer rest, they headed back out to the temple again. The oppressive darkness inside resisted light causing the lanterns to only be half as effective. Undaunted, the companions strode on in, trying to keep together as something, creeping high up along the walls too far up into the black void to make out, was stalking them. They were rewarded when they discovered a central dais that held a statue of a woman wreathed in flame but surrounded by vertical bars. This caged statue was the same that Cherry had seen in her vision. The Aisling stone was nearby! But first, the party had to find stairs leading down to it. Trying to find away into the "cage" around the statue, Cran had used his trusty crowbar, Betty, to attempt to bend the bars. This was met with a warning and, alas, a fireball. We join them as that explodes.

S01E23 Continuing their escort of Irimë, the companions found themselves once again at the place where they had fought the Night-Wight. During the night, a foul shadow descended upon the camp forcing everyone into a vivid shared dream. This vision took the companions on a journey of despair with first, the fall of a town to treachery and finally, to enslavement of the survivors where they rotted in cells under the Hill of Sorcery. Eventually, the combined will of Irimë and the party vanquished the shade's hellish nightmare. The fellowship awoke as the wight fled before the break of dawn and the arrival of the sons of Elrond. The companions had succeeded in delivering Irimë.

S01E28 Recovering from the shock of the forced gender change, the explorers moved south to encounter another small group of the childlike demons. Cran charged in but quickly realised his mistake when the demons were joined by others lurking in the murk surrounding the now beleaguered companions. Although eventually victorious, the amount of healing required afterwards forced Ugnan into unconsciousness. Once the healer was awake, the party ventured out towards a temple bearing many scars from a determined siege. Immediately upon opening the large entrance doors that depicted an impressive woman, two skeletons arose from a pile of scorched bones. Remember: Due to a Fantasy Grounds bug, all rolls are in the open, let's hope for kind criticals!

S01E27 After not disturbing the beings at the gazebo, the party moved south to hop over a wall to the area dubbed the "Nobel quarter". In an almost one sided fight, the companions quickly dispatched five demons resembling children, though children with oversized heads, razor sharp teeth, venom tipped claws and a hunger for humanoid flesh. Continuing south east, they came upon a large statue of a naked man. We join them just after Victor, looking for a secret way, snapped off the man's phallus...

S01E26 Last episode saw the end of the fight with the sprightly disc throwing spirits, some healing and a cursory look over a gazebo like structure. The artefacts still elude the group so this location may require a little more investigation...

So as you may have gathered this is not the fortnightly Adventures in Middle-Earth broadcast. We're due to play that session on March 29th with a hopeful edited release for you on the 2nd of April.

S01E25 Continuing exploration of the demon infested city of Tarek Nev, the party have still been unable to find the two artefacts. Last session took them to a mausoleum with a dark portal, an enclosed grey forest with skeletal creatures and weird spooky entities that as anyone entered, inscribed their name in some sort of roll of the dead. We ended the episode as the party were attacked by blindingly fast creatures that could hurl discs with incredible force and accuracy.

S01E22 No AiME actual play this week or in a fortnight due to us playing a face to face session. I did record some of it but the audio was terrible so stopped!

Normal service will resume in April.

Here is the summary of the face to face session from John's (GM) write up on World Anvil.
