Session 2/16/2026
Branlan (Brian) makes poison connections for Krebsbach (Erik) while the party spends a day doing stuff. Gets a note “Talk to Tancreed” w/ address/time (at close). We sell a small amount as proof of concept, and are told to come back in 3 days. Krebsbach (Erik) sells them on the Healing Mage Organization as well. Krebsbach (Erik) also discovers some disease Cackle Fever…
Ronnie (Lorne) cons Vekea Thulgiaga (Niki) bad. Ronnie (Lorne) comes and parties with us. We (mostly) accept them, but they lie about bookkeeping for their guild.
Hellulth redirected scrying apparently and summoned a bunch of weird elemental zombies (exploded on death). Krebsbach (Erik) discerned location, we regathered and teleported to new location.
TODO:
- Make isometric view of the tower
- build warehouse for Derek
- I’m confused about the fealty…what’s the difference between a Duchy and a Grand Duchy?
- print a base changeling token for Ronnie (Lorne)
Session 1/18/2026
After the Draconic fight, Nikolas Salvie (aka Nikolaj) leaves and doesn’t return. We magic him and find that he was taken by First Guard of the Duchy of Suel. We communicated with him and he doesn’t want to be saved. We keep tracking him while we heal and investigate. He was arrested for regicide in County of Mossley
The Party decides the best option is to go find Count Lucas Clayton of Mossley. Met (Derek) scryed him and lost the connection north of the human lands. Krebsbach (Erik) uses Discern Location to find a better location, it takes the new Airship 2 days to get there. We find the count’s ring and evidence says he’s dead and in dragon shit, so Krebsbach (Erik) resurrects him.
Hellulth the dragon master of County of Mossley.
Eadred the Wise threatens the group, gives 1 month to get the tower out of the “civilized area” or be shot down. Party decides (internally) to keep assisting the people and praising the king for allowing us to help his people. But with a backup plan to just hide over the mountains near the capital as a worst case.
Krebsbach (Erik) and Branlan (Brian) slip away to sell some poisons todo.
Session 8/31/2025
We head South to the outskirts of Seameet (a pirate town). Krebsbach (Erik), Met (Derek), and Vekea Thulgiaga (Niki) create Airship mk1 while the party explores the town. Branlan (Brian) loses a bareknuckle boxing fight by cheating (wearing armor). Met (Derek) sells booze. Firefly (Crystal) forages/sells shrooms. Avir (Alex) tries to help the poors (Derek donates 100gp).
After about 2 weeks, crowds start forming near the tower to watch what’s going on. A couple days later, something Gargantuan charges towards the airship. Draconic, but doesn’t seem to have scales. They are probably crossbreeds of dragons and olyphants (at least). There’s 1 trapped with a body of another trapped in a triangle of wall of force with Niki chopping and Erik grappling. 1 escaped.
A wild Welhanna Billowdust (Kat) appears! She came to watch the creation of the airship, but never said anything.
Session 7/5/2025
We finally leveled pre-session (no specific xp given).
Erik takes out a tower w/ stone shape. Alex enters the mayor’s (Count Lucas Clayton of Mossley) manor and geas him to serve Pelor. Summoning sounds (Draconic, words saying summon mother). We rush back in.
Derek/Alex start fighting the summoners. Erik drops the tower they’re in while Derek and Alex start the murder, then runs up to start punching things.
Brian/Crystal/Niki race back towards the center of town. A burrowing dragon attacks Brian.
We gather again, kill a bunch of dragons, then flee with some dragon corpses (1 G Black Dragon, 2 L Black Dragon). That evening, there’s an evil fog (like the old miasma) rolling in, with it there’s the sound of a flute, we see Louie playing in a nearby tree. When we approach him he turns into a wisp and melds into the fog.
Gain a level (17)
Session 5/25/2025
Battle continues. Derek has to start defending the caravan of slaves. At “end of combat” there’s an alchemical thingie, a tower explodes and a meteor showery thing hits the town square. The city goes crazy. Met (Derek) and Nikolas Salvie (aka Nikolaj) escape the city with the freed slaves. Firefly (Crystal) flies to the exploded tower. Krebsbach (Erik) heads to the largest tower.
Still no xp… (2 sessions)
Session 4/26/2025
We started in the slave auction area. The city started flooding the cave, so Derek teleports out with the slaves to Nikolaj and the carts, and stays with them as the leave the city. The rest of the party charges up the tunnel. Krebsbach creates an Earthquake, collapsing the cavern over the auction cave and some nearby buildings, then starts filling the cavern himself with a Decanter of Endless Water as he alternates between throwing more people over the edge and healing the party as needed. The rest of the group gets to the murder. We stopped before actually finishing the murder (about 1/2 the enemy in the water filling cavern, 5 or 6 dead, melee all in reach, archers still spread). 1 of the seen mages was killed, the other disappeared.
Probably no xp yet…
Archer in tunnel (gear + stuff): +1 rapier, short sword, mithril chain shirt Amulet of Natural Armor (Niki?) coin of symbol that probably identifies her as a member of group
Session 3/22/2025
Avir (Alex) joins! We get to County of Mossley (after 2 days travel). Derek and I head to Frank Lechner.
- Alex has the Airship book (he’s delivering the book to “a practicer of arcane arts” in Alewick)
- Shelf of disease books (Erik buys them all).
- Frank Lechner gives me a coin (he asked for 25k and Erik gave him 26k to keep similar books for me) We head down to the slave auction and quickly murder the slavers…
Session 2/1/2025
Ancient silver dragon crashes in the area, (early rough symbol) image of Tiamat branded on the dragon’s back. Autopsy shows death probably from dragon fight including acid burns. Most likely either black or green dragon. We resurrected it, its name is Moon Watcher.
Tiamat brand can control dragons (early ones can fight back). He says he was killed by a black. Tiamat is trying to control everything…kobolds are completely under her control.
Alter from the beginning of the game is closing (or maybe opening) a seal. Orbs are super magic batteries. altar lightOrb
Moon Watcher gave us nothing other than a little information.
In Warthfeld, 2 grannies (Petunia and Opal) have old people problems. I heal them, and also birth a calf. Warthfeld is FUCKING BORING!!!!!
Session 12/14/2024
Brian talks to an apprentice named Cletus about battle magic and breaking into the opposing schools to spike their food. It includes animated statues and such.
Crystal saw “human” children NE of Hupeni, they’re looking for the lightOrb we have. She messed with them and they turned into deep green dragons.
Erik/Derek meets with poisoner (a Jaegar) and told to feel free to come back if they need more.
NOTE: Nikolaj wants to get to the Union of the Saffron Moon in Alewick.
Session 9/21/2024:
Approaching Kisaw (small village outside Arkala City). Have dinner. Niki starts seeing people. We leave and convince her to switch vestiges…then head to Arkala City.
Use Castel Inn as a meetup. Niki partying. Crystal heads to the alchemist. Erik heads to Engineering library: Borsek (Derek catches up). Their research grants +8 bonus to an Engineering check for airships.
Erik sets up a sale for a bunch of poison (only Derek knows).
Session 6/29/2024:
Nikolaj uses his foldable inn for the first time to take cover from an approaching Magic Storm. During the storm an Iron Golem appears, we defeat it and remove a fiery thing from inside it.
Early Sessions:
We were hired by Nikolas Salvie (aka Nikolaj) in Skyholdt to investigate a weirdness. While traveling, we discovered several non-natural, dragon-like egg casing surrounded by a patch of burned grass.
After arriving, kobolds came and stole from Nikolaj (through a door Niki broke). We got back most of the stuff, and murdered a small village in the process. Erik diseased them (no one knows this in game) and Crystal burned children w/ alchemist’s fire. This included several clerics to Kurtulmak and Tiamat. Burning them lightened the mist that was forming. That evening we murdered a bunch of boars and Derek salted the pork. Later, we saw 20+ multi-colored wyverns fly overhead.
While waiting on Nikolaj, we all did our thing. Erik found an unnamed hedge wizard who was a master of diseases and spoke about future things that had no details from a Kevin. todo
Nikolaj eventually came in with an associate (Dalmar Starkguard). We briefed them and Nikolaj gave Dalmar Starkguard 5 pouches to send to Skyholdt, Bonera, Bournsmouth, Alewick, and Arkala. Are we delivering to Alewick? “We have an incredibly dangerous situation brewing north in the woods. Whole tribes of kobolds seem to be following someone else’s directions N towards mountains near Gnomish Noxberry (town). However there are no other indications of this. Only indication is the lack of contact w/ nearby villages/people. Very hard to find. Please find any reason to find why they’d do this and prepare for action.”
After that, Nikolaj wants us to come with him towards Noxberry (where the kobolds were heading). He hires Pricerus, a half-elf hunter to lead us there. On the way, we murder some Deinos, collect some herbalisms, and the mist gets more poisony.
We find some kobolds marching up a dry river, Erik diseases them again. We come upon a bridge with a symbol of Tiamat in an antimagic field that is controlling the flow of water. Niki bites it and breaks it, then we delve in after them (leaving Nikolaj and Pricerus behind with the horses).
Underground, we find some dead Fargo Wells messengers (Archie + 1), and more signs of kobolds and Tiamat. We found a map of the “path” and a note: “Deliver 3 crystals following general route within 2 white marble gazebo for Bahamut.”
We find another city of Kobolds, this one in the process of murdering another Fargo Wells. Crystal swoops in and grabs a crystal while I disease them again. As we head away, we find Louie melded into a wall and save him.
We get to a giant, magical marble dais that looks like where the crystals are supposed to be delivered. More dead Fargo Wells nearby. Louie dies of a heart attack in the evening. Party doesn’t know, but Erik did it so we don’t get tattled on for not delivering. We continue on, travel through dwarf lands and via caravans to get back to Skyholdt, then wait for Nikolaj to catch up. lightOrb
Nikolaj is chased back by winged kobolds and deinonychus (maybe other things too?). They apparently destroyed the dam mechanism before coming. We defended Skyholdt from a horde of Deinonychus that followed Nikolaj, then built them a stone wall the next day while Brian briefed Nikolaj on our adventures.
Probably heading S to Alewick next, hopefully with a detour passed County of Mossley for an Airship book.
heading to County of Mossley via County of Erast
On the way to County of Erast, Crystal finds redcaps, but hands them off to Erik (needs result from Kevin later)
After peacebonding weapons, we’re allowed into County of Erast. Are given a symbol to Wee Jas after arm wrestling the Kord clerics. Follow the people to a cage match.
After Niki fights (and destroys a dude using a potion of rage), we investigate, then head down the cave to a catacombs. Find a temple to Wee Jas (more active than Kord’s) and find a holy book (Bible).
At sunup, screams of fear, dragons flying NW to SE (more W to E than N to S), 3-5 dragons/group. More than 200 in total.
