The Vaktare

The party has safely arrived in New Tepest and on their first night in town, several of the party members were bitten in their sleep. The following day the party makes their way around town, inspecting a bit as Ki’Lai senses magical auras. After their walk-about the party visits Mother’s Maiden, the Luxodon Minder in charge of New Tepest. Athelstan informs Captain Olivia about their late night unwanted visitors. They then visit several local establishments in order to ask about Guthrie, the missing Dwarf from Lady’s Tear.

The party faces off the massive sand shark they awoke in the Barrows outside Blackspire. Not all is as it seems though and they meet the mysterious Professor Cottonwood who offers them tea and wisdom after their confrontation.   

Special thanks to @cedarthebarefoot7036 for guesting as Professor Cottonwood.

Join us for this hilarious one-shot under the guidance of Swamp Master Becky as we try to locate the missing triplets who absconded from their own birthday party at Far Far Away Castle. Following the path of destruction left by three very precocious triplets, the party tracks them to a nearby woods where an uninvited visitor is found… but where are the triplets?

The party arrives (finally) in New Tepest and is greeted at the gate by Captain Olivia of 3rd House on the Left. They are led to the town’s inn where everyone gets some much needed warm food and warm baths. Ki’Lai and Athelstan share a moment with Gabriella before bed, and the party wakes up to find poor Atlas is feeling under the weather. After inspection, they discover strange bite marks on several party members, as well as a talking plant.

The party returns to Blackspire after completing their Gnoll contract to retrieve Eliz. They learn Eliz is a person of some wealth and import in the city. The party disclose to Eliz that their girlfriend is missing somewhere in The Barrows, the city’s large cemetery just beyond the north wall. They set out to find her and are led to a mausoleum that seems to be serving as a stopping point for moving prisoners.

Part two of our Sleigh, B*sh, Sleigh. The group has found evidence of misdeeds and possibly sorted the reason for the breaking of the Armistice Sleigh. Can they prove it to the rest of the gathering? Will it be enough to bring peace back to the land.

Natural 1 Shots presents The Silence of Skeggmore DM'd by the incredible Cedar the Barefoot. This tale of woe follows the party as they are sent by The Circle to investigate the city of Skeggmore, which has suddenly gone silent and is now surrounded by a powerful magical barrier that no one has been able to get through. The party is sent, and after a bit of confusion and experimenting with some dangerously powerful magic, they are able to access the city only to find it completely in ruins and overrun by what remains of the civilians, now much altered.

Natural 1 Shots presents Babies & Broadswords: an adorably cute adventure where we play Greek Gods as babies. It’s nearly time for the Fall Festival, and for Persephone to return to the underworld. When late party guests arrive, things get strange and the party finds themselves trapped in a brightly lit room together and must find a way out. Once out, a mysterious stranger awaits them with an offer. DM'd by the amazing Babysitter Rick, this wonderful and silly adventure is full of laughs, jokes, and of course, cute babies!

The party is awoken in the middle of the night by two rather large guests.  Sly and Athelstan are besties, and the party meets Velma the Dusk Hag. Velma offers each member a prophecy for payment in the form of remembering her when the time comes to pass. Alaric trolls the trolls with the Deck of Illusions, and the party are allowed to leave... but at what cost?

F in the comments for Cedar's chair, which passed away at the end of session during a gerblin cackling fit. [3:49:00]

The party assists with clean up after the eclipse, meets of the other Warforged that live in Baguna, and RAM gains a bit of insight for how they feel about being left behind before the gate closed. Once rested and mended, the party makes their way to Blackspire on the trail of Blade. A quick stop at the local hunter’s guild to gather contracts reveals someone close to Eliz has gone missing. Also: Gnolls.
