| - The players explored a little more and took the elevator down one more floor to the "forge level". They opened the door to the room beside the elevator and came face to face with the nightmare haunting Leif's dreams: The Night Pope (a.k.a. Klondorn -Xadorock's most trusted advisor and a barbed devil in disguise). The fight was the first time Oisin found himself utterly useless against an enemy with immunity to fire damage. It was also another doozy for Merielle. The group successfully vanquished the night pope with only his miter left behind. | | - The players explored a little more and took the elevator down one more floor to the "forge level".

|
| |
| ==== Session 17: Poppy's Game! ====
| |
| - The group finds a temporary ally, Brogs (Goblin played by Poppy) who grew up in the Keep.
| |
|
| |
| - The group explored more on the forge level. At some point someone convinced some guards the party were contractors brought in by Xadorock, himself, to do more classified work.
| |
|
| |
| - The party fought Xadorock and Brogs swiped the master sword off him. Broggs proceeded to turn invisible and steal a comb (750gp) from Picklz
| |
|
| |
| - Party eventually made it to the treasure room and found the master sword left behind with a note: "quick to anger leads to missed opportunities- thanks for the comb"
| |
|
| |
| - Picklz glued his mouth shut by drinking a mystery vial that happened to be Sovereign Glue.
| |
|
| |
| - With the upmost urgency, the party grabbed a bunch of mountable lizards to ride out in the snow in the hopes of catching up to the dragon.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 17: Destruction's Light ====
| |
| - The group heads out to catch up to the dragon. A woman named Vellynne rides up with a dog sled in search of the party. She told the group she was sent to retrieve the party and offer fast passage to help with the dragon. The group accepts her help. Vellynne happened to have some Universal Solvent. The party reluctantly gave it to Picklz even though they enjoyed the silence.
| |
|
| |
| - The dragon had enough time to destroy Dougan's Hall and Good Mead. The group arrives in Easthaven and begins to fight the dragon. After a long battle, the dragon flew to the next town over Caer Dineval. The group followed as fast as they can but the dragon was able to destroy part of the town.
| |
|
| |
| - Upon their approach, Leif notices a familiar body in the snow as he happens upon his friend, the butler laying down in the snow. A touching reunion the two share as the butler's time is cut short. Leif takes a moment to lay his friend back in the snow and possibly shed a tear for his first friend made in the Ten Towns. Leif paints his eyes in black as he cinematically turns towards the dragon as "I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by MCR" begins to play in the background.
| |
|
| |
| - After a hefty battle and MANY close calls, the party saves Caer Dinecal and is named "The Savior's of the Ten Towns."
| |
|
| |
| - Everybody rests up after the battle and then goes to get drunk the next night.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 18: Where's My Money? -Verglas ====
| |
| - After a night of drinking and celebration, the party goes with Verglas to inquire after the rest of his payment for scoping out the Xadorock Keep.
| |
|
| |
| - The Party takes up a bulletin quest (posted by Yselm Bloodfang) that asked for the assistance of adventurers. The quest was to retrieve an ancestral object from Jarlmoot.
| |
|
| |
| - Arriving at Jarlmoot, the ancestral king of the giants Reggaryarva, tests the players with a battle against a frost giant skeleton and invisible stalkers.
| |
|
| |
| - Yselm tries to betray the party and is killed in the process.
| |
|
| |
| - Reggaryarva was impressed by the party and opened the inner vaults to them.
| |
|
| |
| - after exploring and a little bit of puzzle solving, the party received an ancient horn of blasting
| |
|
| |
| - Shivers died this game... was fed to a bunch of Ravens.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 19: Get Verglas some VerGlasses ====
| |
| - on the way our of Jarlmoot, the party encounters a tribe of giants, who were also trying to retrieve the horn. They party initially hid behind the giant stone thrones as they watch the tribe of giants sacrifice Axe beaks to Reggaryarva. One axe beak in particular was recognized as the lost (but never forgotten) Kraigsy.
| |
|
| |
| - upon recognition, the party revealed themself and proposed a trade: the horn for Kraigsy. The giants accepted and left.
| |
|
| |
| - Rejoiced and the reunion, Verglas notices something bulging from the saddle pocket of Kraigsy. Turned out to be an egg of some sort. Picklz wanted to eat it immediately.
| |
|
| |
| - bringing the egg back to Caer Dineval, the party took bets on what was inside. Verglas insisted it was a giraffe egg (even though he didn't know what a giraffe was).
| |
|
| |
| - The egg hatched the next day and turned out to be a baby Koopa (most iconically looking like baby Bowser). Merielle realized, after further reading, Koopas were a mythical extinct race from Kaladesh. I'm pretty sure Picklz claimed co-parent to the baby.
| |
|
| |
| - Leif almost kills babyBowz by feeding him a whole hard-boiled egg which he choked on.
| |
|
| |
| - Kelsey enjoyed watching the party nearly kill this baby ''several'' times.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 20: The Quest from Vellynne ====
| |
| - The party regrouped with Jeff Bridges. He told the party Vellynne had a quest for them.
| |
|
| |
| - Before meeting up with Vellynne, the group goes on a little shopping trip. They buy a magical baby carriage (similar to the one from Mandalorian) and some magic items.
| |
|
| |
| - Vellynne's quest was introduced to the players along with information about Ythern. However, before exploring the Reghead Galciers, Vellynne needed to retrieve her Professor Skant which was stolen. This would require the party to travel via whale to the thief's location.
| |
|
| |
| - The session ended with the beginning of Vellynne's quest.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 21: The Black Cabin + Emotionally Damaging Jeff ====
| |
| - Vellynne leads the group to the north in search for the special cabin that belonged to Anga. The goal was to summon Angajuk via ringing of the Bell.
| |
|
| |
| - Vellynne took a really really long poop in the bushes
| |
|
| |
| - After exploring further, this was NOT the cabin they were looking for. Instead, this was the Black Cabin which housed the Summer Star. Mistwalked accidentally activated the Summer Star forcing everyone (except Vellynne and Picklz) to roll a saving throws. Leif, Oisin, Merielle, and Baby Bowz were all incinerated turning them into ghosts inhabiting another plane. The explosion blowed back Verglas out of the cabin
| |
|
| |
| - This was the game Jeff kept yelling "HE'S A BABY! HE ONLY HAS 7HP!" (Kelsey may have broken Jeff in this moment). Verglas went looking for a shell but that too was incinerated.
| |
|
| |
| - The incinerated players were able to still communicate with Picklz and Verglas, however, in an extremely limited manner. Oisin fogged up a not-shattered window and proceeded to write " W I G G L E". Verglas had no idea what this meant and Picklz can't read. A small baby koopa paw print was pressed on the fogged window as baby Bowz tried to reach out to their new found father (and this is when Kelsey ''really'' emotionally damaged Jeff).
| |
|
| |
| - after much trial and error, Verglas was able to break the Summer Star and return the incinerated party members back to life. Vellynne was no help, whatsoever.
| |
|
| |
| - After traveling a little further north, the group found the correct cabin but was attacked by birds (much to Rachel/Merielle's fear). Verglas ran into the cabin and told the party to deal with it.
| |
|
| |
| - the session ended with the vultures death and the ringing of Angnajuk's bell.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 22: Angnajuk's Bell ====
| |
| - the party waited a little while for Angnajuk to show. Angnajuk agreed to help the party but asked for the payment of an octopus. I think at some point they summoned 9 baboons.
| |
|
| |
| - Oisin wild-shaped into a shark and followed a dolphin to find an octopus. The rest of the party followed on foot over the ice. The dolphin pointed out a mysterious cave that no one returns from.
| |
|
| |
| - upon finding some octopi, Oisin launches himself through the ice, causing a massive crash. They all then just run as a big Kraken began to chase them.
| |
|
| |
| - The group makes it back to Angnajuk with an octopus and they obtain passage.
| |
|
| |
| - insert a fun underwater montage here.
| |
|
| |
| - Angnajuk drops the party off on a big ice floe and they begin to search for Professor Skant.
| |
|
| |
| - Verglas is the first to come upon the dead, frozen body of the theif who holds the orb above the snow. He completely misses the orb and instead notices the little Arctic weasel familiar that once belonged to the thief. Verglas gains another life to take care of (the weasel).
| |
|
| |
| - Vellynne is eventually reunited with her orb and the session ends with the party climbing aboard Angnajuk to head towards the Reghead Glaciers.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 23: Vellynne's Betrayal ====
| |
| - Angnajuk once again drops the group off and they explore the glacier. They come across ice statues and a colosseum made of snow and ice. Vellynne is questioned about her allegiance.
| |
|
| |
| - Hold Person and Zone of Truth was simultaneously cast upon Vellynne. She is not the frost maiden but is revealed as a puppet of the frost maiden. Vellynne is then evaporated and the frost maiden appears in a snow form. She tries to evoke fear into the party but they push back. As a final act before retreating, the frost maiden curses the group, leaving the vunarable to cold damage in a frozen tundra.
| |
|
| |
| - the is the first session ever that Merielle advocated for murder.
| |
|
| |
| - Verglas holds baby Bowz tightly to keep him warm.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Session 24: Winter is Coming ====
| |
| - the party encounters some Yetis which were sent out to hunt the party down by the frost maiden.
| |
|
| |
| - Leif got triple crit and was down instantly.
| |
|
| |
| - somehow they survivied to live another day.
| |
|
| |
| - one step closer to the frost maiden maybe?
