Other Notable Events: The Warden requests "respect" of the land and will punish unnecessary destruction of flora and fauna. They are also offended by necromancy and undeath. The party also obtained significant amounts of lore and general information about the creatures living in the area and which the company is likely to encounter, including lizardfolk, yuan-ti, kobolds, and grung.

Action Summary (1-2 lines): Traveled by skiff near to the location of a [[Perseus Company]] watch tower which was destroyed, with the inhabitants massacred. The main camp had a similar scene, but also had gnolls, hyenas, a 'deathpledge.' and The Green Knight. During battle, the Green Knight fled and escaped. Rather than pursue, the party was forced to retreat when an entire army of gnolls in the hundreds began to approach the encampment They were apparently accompanied with giant gnolls upwards of 20 ft tall as well.

Other Notable Events: Some bodies had strange dispositions, one with feathers coming out of its mouth, nose and ears; another with maggots and worms. Also significant evidence of insanity spreading around the camps. While staying the night at one sight, the company was beset by strange visions and dreams.

A strange blade with evidence of a Djinn was also recovered (Amaris), and some other magic items may have been offered by Bulio to the other party members, but they have yet to confirm.

Action Summary (1-2 lines): Following the map to a temple with the tome, the party encountered another adventuring group led by the charasmatic and masked [[Jack of Hearts]]. They were poisoned and robbed of the map and key, but pursued the thieves into the cavern where the book was held. Teamed up with the other party to fight the cavern's guardian, a blue-scaled monstrosity that could turn invisible and breath lightning, called a Behir. Slew the Behir and made a truce with the other group for the book.

Other Notable Events: Many of the members of this other group appear to have direct ties to members of our own expedition, specifically being dead relations in their pasts. Further details available on request from [[Marion Ette|Marion]] or [[Sabbatical (character)|Sabbatical]], including detailed physical descriptions. Writing in the cavern/temple was in Primordial and Giant.

Brief Action Summary (1-2 lines): After tracking the research parties' pathes through the wilds for a few hours, we came across a large clearing with a glowing magical plant near its center. While investigating we were attacked by a total of three large magically enhanced dinosaurs. Battle was fierce and close. Hermes fled early and caused an uproar in camp when he returned alone before the rest of us returned a few hours later.

[[Hermes]] fled early and caused an uproar in camp when he returned alone before the rest of us returned a few hours later.


Other Notable Events: The camp is located on a leyline, and it flows through much of the surrounding jungle. These dinosaurs were immune to their own element and both resistant to spells, and non-magical damage. At least one of them also possessed blindsight or truesight, being able to pierce through invisibility.

Specific Finds/Acquisitions: A number of Magical fruit from the magical plant discovered. (Marion/Arc); Several sets of scales from the lightning dinosaur sufficient to craft resistant armor should the time and tools present themselves (Neru, P'Rahp, Sabbatical, Marion, Helli); the poison beasts bits were all presented to Arc for study, and gold pieces in payment for a completed job.

Objective: Travel to the location of the crashed airship containing the company Quartermaster, [[Pennysworth]] and recover him and as many others as possible.


Brief Action Summary (1-2 lines): The party traveled out at a quick pace to locate the crashed ship. Upon reaching the airship we learned that the crew had been attacked at least once before by humanoid creatures speaking abyssal. The ground in the area was spongey and soft, covered in fungus, pustules, and moss. As we attempted to repair the airship we were attacked by over a dozen demonic creatures all chanting phrases in Abyssal which burrowed out of the ground. There were four types of creatures: two types of relatively weak spawn, one of which could emit spores when struck by an attack; lieutenants, which could leave a person paralyzed by fear; and a large, four-armed giant capable of tearing a person limb from limb. We barely fought off all the creatures, hearing a piercing shriek for "my children!" echoing from the area before we got the airship operational and escaped the area.

Other Notable Events: When the largest creature was slain by Paris Hilton's bolts, it exploded not just in her usual glitter, but also in spores over the entire area. These spores entered into the eyes of many of us and have caused an infection of Sight Rot, threatening our vision, causing significant discomfort, blurry vision, nightmares, and hallucinations. All of the other demons were speaking in abyssal as they attacked. Translations as follows: "Embrace my mother's love." "Come and let mother comfort your sorrows." "Accept her gift of love and freedom from pain." "Let her free you from the shackles of mortality."

The party (temporarily?) disrupted this conduit in some way and awakened some kind of defensive measure involving massive stone creatures and slimes that threw fire. They made a retreat as the place burned down.

Brief Action Summary (1-2 lines): Aerial reconnaissance team encountered a giant bird (a Roc) that attacked the vessel and caused it to crash. Upon crashing, we fell through the ground into a collapsed and buried draconic temple dedicated to Tiamat and her generals. We fought a Medusa and half the party was almost petrified before it was slain. Found a sealed tomb laden with gems and a mask and dispelled a ward, inadvertently releasing an undead dragonborn calling himself Galidant who wanted to eat us, but was temporarily restrained by a magic circle. Upon escaping out a tunnel, made contact with a rescue party and fought a retreat against The Green Knight, who had just collared and teleported the Roc away by some unknown means.

Other Notable Events: Recovered the artifact for the Collector, but refused to turn it over to him immediately. It is currently in the care of the Company for study. Kobolds (and presumably Alkinimic's body) were transformed by someone called the "Fleshcrafter" by use of a magical glowing red stone which can only be the Philosopher's Stone. The Collector eventually offered the company a large sum of money for the artifact, which Velemar Decrye accepted, but did not divert the 80% expected to the party as an appropriate fee, instead, accepting the Collector's offer of a mere 100gp for each of the group.

SWAAR is an abbreviation for Sababtical's Weekly After Action Reports. These reports are compiled from the more verbose reports and notes she gathers from adventurers involved in each mission. She also writes up detailed narrative accounts of missions she is involved with, but does not share those publicly with the camp. They can be found on her character page and in player recaps. Information on this page should be readily available to all PCs.
