BMG-MOON-MD-05 Fleeing Snowdown Game Code - Game Name - Location - DM - Party - We are an existing party. We were returning by boat from a job. Ran into storm. Ship needed repairs. Docked ship at island, in the town of Westphal. We've been awaiting repairs for 4 days. We have learned some information about the setting. Lady Drysen Israh is the queen of this island. There is another island run by High King Kinrock. Israh may have set her sights on getting that island. Her police/army is called Dara Dragoons. In tavern. Bell ringing. Patrons stand like zombies and walk towards door. Door flings open. Man with wound enters. Runs to back door followed by 4 Dragoon guards. Outside it's all red light. Sent owl. Owl observes groups of zombies and groups of Dragoon guards. The guards are searching for something, entering buildings. Owl listens. "We must find him, or face her." The zombies were in groups of 10-15, and so were the guards. We rescued the wounded man, Captain Stephan. He had been on a mission to rescue Prince Olin, son of King Kinrock. We decided to help him. He needs to get off this island and report back to Kinrock. All the ships are burning in the harbor. He's got a backup boat in the northern town of Lanring. We have 11 hours to get him there and 10 more hours of night. We ask him what's going on. Oh, Queen Israh is probably doing a blood moon ritual. It allows her to take control of all undead. We decide the large groups of zombies and guards are too likely to discover Capt. Stephan, so we choose the sewers. After hitting a dead end, we decide to exit through the grate and make for a nearby gate. The closest gate is the main northern gate which is crawling with guards. Owl discovers another gate, a pedestrian gate, to the east. We go there. Sir Mancha puts Capt. Stephan on his horse which teleports 60 ft away, outside the gate. We then successfully talk our way out the gate. We find the horse and Capt. Stephan. We decide we will head north, staying parallel to the main north-south road. No loot |

Session Notes 2025-04-02 Party - When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight. We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives. We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth. We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information. We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead. In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic. The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms. Perfume, gem. - see loot A door has a placard saying something like: We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message: We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle. Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to: Desk with letters in Undercommon. A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room. We continue north. We find a large prison room. Loot |

We are tasked with 4 invitations.
3. 4. We report to queen. She agrees they are suspicious. She summons them. The man changes form into a female fey, and vanishes. Seems to have teleported.

Session Notes 2025-04-09 BMG-DRW-OD-01 Something in the Way Game Code - Game Name - Location - DM - Party - We being in Neverwinter. Before leaving, Eerie asks if we should have a formal letter. Oh, yes. She writes one up and seals it with wax. She gives us each 100 g to start with. - now on character sheet We can speed things up by taking the teleport circle in the Covenant (mages guild). We agree. [] Tandur pays 600 gold for all 3 of us. - now on character sheet Arcana check: the teleporter looks old but functional. We should get the assistance of Ranil Scorson (Ramis Scorsesee) because (don't remember). Before we can leave, a man and a metal creature barge in claiming they (two) are the real adventurers and that we are frauds. We point out the wax seal on our letter. We persuade Tisia. She orders them removed without asking for their names. Tandur makes a mental note of their descriptions. She gives us a Moon-Touched Longsword (common) Give 3 Greater Healing potions. - now on character sheet We depart and go to a tavern where Tisia thinks we can find Ranil. Darla, bartender, says Ranil won't be in the bar until her debt is paid. Eerie pays the debt (forgot how much). Darla equips battle axe with peace binding and guides us to a place where Ranil hangs out (house, guild, ? don't recall). Another person talks to Darla through the door slit. We are admitted. Darla departs. We explain our mission. Ranil agrees to help. We need to get to the rogue planetoid. The best way is by using a spelljammer ship. But we need to catch that at the Spelljammer Academy. She will help us get there. We must hurry to catch Captain Mert of the skyship, the galleon, Cloud Bearer's Fortune. Ranil guides us to the captain's quarters where he is sleeping off a hangover. She wakes him and persuades him to take us all to the Spelljammer Academy. Aboard, we learn he is the Mert, the money lender, the old wolf. Long Rest. We travel to Nimbrill, to the Spelljammer Academy. We land the ship (I missed it: either in a cave or on top of a tower). We are met by Saerthe, the head instructor. We explain our mission. He says we need to take a spelljammer to Iskirthos, the rogue planetoid. Spelljammers work by flying really fast (1M miles per day) unless something large (missed detail) is within (missed distance) of the ship, in which case it just slows down automatically. Then the ship and the object are pulled towards each other by (missed that detail). If it's a planet, then the gravity does that. And the spelljammer takes along a bubble of air which can last a (period of ?). We are granted a helmsman. I remember this. The helmsman uses spell slots to direct the ship, I think. The helmsman is located behind doors in the aft of the ship. Why did I write this name? Maybe the helmsman? We have to make saving throws against space sickness. Tandur fails and now has 1 level of Exhaustion. [] I want Tandur to be looking for We slow as we come near to an asteroid. Creatures (I entirely missed the description, except they attack with tongues) leap aboard. One in particular attempts to move towards the helmsman's station. Combat 1 One of the killed creatures vomits up Bracers of Defense. - now on character sheet Loot summary |

Web: Araithe is the son of High Lady Ordalf, He is fey (?) (elf) We are on the isle of Gwynneth. There are visitors and travelers lined up for entry. Due to our service, we are already inside. Some of us (those with certain Story Awards) have a separate seating at the service. Kwyjibo & Tandur are at a lower status than the others. The others also get private rooms. We share. We are invited to a celebration (feels like rehearsal dinner), during which we are met by (a fey) Lady Sinofra. She will ask us later, "What is the promise of blossoms?" Note: there is no correct answer. Part of noble eladrin. (Who? I didn't note that). Sound of wonderful, but insistent, singing. Is the promise of blossoms a tale retold, Does the promise of blossoms unite sun and rain, Is it the murmur of leaves in the sun’s warm embrace, In the promise of blossoms, a question takes flight: Tarilyn is up. She is moving towards the sound. We accompany. Spirt it of ancient queen, High Queen Allison. Lady Siofra In order to join Tarilyn, some must prick finger on needle of spinning wheel. Tandur agrees. -1 HP. Must clear the brambles. But that requires completing tests in the library. There are 4 alcoves, each with a book connected by a red thread to the spinning wheel. Books Once we complete the tests, up to 4, we can then deal with the tower guardians. Then Tarilyn can awaken the High Lord via kiss or touch. It's 12:30 (00:30); we have about 6 hours. 4 choices; not all are requrired. How else would love triumph. Each successful (library) test will clear some of the brambles. The first we choose is "Cinder Maid." We fade out / fade in... ... to a ballroom. We see Araithe. Success. Return to library. Some brambles have been removed, but enough remain to still block the way. We choose "Nussknacker" Grandfather clock. We are small. Soldiers attempt to ascend stairs. Really, really unclear the physical setting. Disadv. on DEX Saves (then Checks) from now on. Init. Large gear to small gear. At transition, make Athletics or Acrobatics. Sequence: gear - transition - gear Temp HP At the top fight: We prevail. Must convince Araithe to remove mask. Tandur: Country is important, but for the future relationship matter more. Break (Short rest? ) Climb tower. Dragon (Siofra) breathes cloud of spores Dragon > Kwyjibo. Killed owl. Reset owl. We fight. Dragon almost dead. Another hit. Eventually, we each make our way to the coffin. One-by-one, we activate a magic latch. "What is the promise of blossoms?" Uh, love! That was good enough. Queen appears. Something about Siofra.

Combat 2 Combat 3 DM rules - 1 hour break Resume I was relatively satisfied with my regular Bless. It helped a bit. It was not super powerful because most people hit or (obviously) missed before I had a chance to remind them of Bless. I might consider switching to Bane. Also there is a conflict.

Combat 6 Loot: Room of glass spheres Necklace 12,000 gold Combat 8 I used my 4th level Dispel Magic. And it worked. More treasure. Rewards: Part 1 Part 2 & Conclusion 1 Characters may choose to gain a level. 2 Choice of the following: Dragon Mark Code! Kwyjibo: 06f6-401d-8a2d Always thanks to John Steele for his spell effects template! Wave Held in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, this trident is an exquisite weapon engraved with images of waves, shells, and sea creatures. Although you must worship a god of the sea to attune to this weapon, Wave happily accepts new converts. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you score a critical hit with it, the target takes extra necrotic damage equal to half its hit point maximum. The weapon also functions as a trident of fish command and a weapon of warning. It can confer the benefit of a cap of water breathing while you hold it, and you can use it as a cube of force by choosing the effect, instead of pressing cube sides to select it. Sentience: Wave is a sentient weapon of neutral alignment, with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 18. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Aquan. It can also speak with aquatic animals as if using a speak with animals spell, using telepathy to involve its wielder in the conversation. Personality: When it grows restless, Wave has a habit of humming tunes that vary from sea chanteys to sacred hymns of the sea gods. Wave zealously desires to convert mortals to the worship of one or more sea gods, or else to consign the faithless to death. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to further the weapon's objectives in the world. The trident has a nostalgic attachment to the place where it was forged, a desolate island called Thunderforge. A sea god imprisoned a family of storm giants there, and the giants forged Wave in an act of devotion to- or rebellion against-that god. Wave harbors a secret doubt about its own nature and purpose. For all its devotion to the sea gods, Wave fears that it was intended to bring about a particular sea god's demise. This destiny is something Wave might not be able to avert. Whelm Whelm is a powerful warhammer forged by dwarves and lost in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. At dawn the day after you first make an attack roll with Whelm, you develop a fear of being outdoors that persists as long as you remain attuned to the weapon. This causes you to have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks while you can see the daytime sky. Thrown Weapon: Whelm has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack using it, the target takes an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage, or an extra 2d8 bludgeoning damage if the target is a giant. Each time you throw the weapon, it flies back to your hand after the attack. If you don't have a hand free, the weapon lands at your feet. Shock Wave: You can use an action to strike the ground with Whelm and send a shock wave out from the point of impact. Each creature of your choice on the ground within 60 feet of that point must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn. Supernatural Awareness: While you are holding the weapon, it alerts you to the location of any secret or concealed doors within 30 feet of you. In addition, you can use an action to cast detect evil and good or locate object from the weapon. Once you cast either spell, you can't cast it from the weapon again until the next dawn. Sentience: Whelm is a sentient lawful neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 15. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Dwarvish. Giant, and Goblin. It shouts battle cries in Dwarvish when used in combat. Personality: Whelm's purpose is to slaughter giants and goblinoids. It also seeks to protect dwarves against all enemies. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to destroy goblins and giants or to protect dwarves. Whelm has ties to the dwarf clan that created it, variously called the Dankil or the Mightyhammer clan. It longs to be returned to that clan. It would do anything to protect those dwarves from harm. The hammer also carries a secret shame. Centuries ago, a dwarf named Ctenmiir wielded it valiantly for a time. But Ctenmiir was turned into a vampire. His will was strong enough that he bent Whelm to his evil purposes, even killing members of his own clan. Blackrazor Hidden in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, Blackrazor shines like a piece of night sky filled with stars. Its black scabbard is decorated with pieces of cut obsidian. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. It has the following additional properties. Devour Soul. Whenever you use it to reduce a creature to 0 hit points, the sword slays the creature and devours its soul, unless it is a construct or an undead. A creature whose soul has been devoured by Blackrazor can be restored to life only by a wish spell. When it devours a soul, Blackrazor grants you temporary hit points equal to the slain creature’s hit point maximum. These hit points fade after 24 hours. As long as these temporary hit points last and you keep Blackrazor in hand, you have advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. If you hit an undead with this weapon, you take 1d10 necrotic damage and the target regains 1d10 hit points. If this necrotic damage reduces you to 0 hit points, Blackrazor devours your soul. Soul Hunter. While you hold the weapon, you are aware of the presence of Tiny or larger creatures within 60 feet of you that aren’t constructs or undead. You also can’t be charmed or frightened. Blackrazor can cast the haste spell on you once per day. It decides when to cast the spell and maintains concentration on it so that you don’t have to. Sentience. Blackrazor is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 19. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon can speak, read, and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically. Its voice is deep and echoing. While you are attuned to it, Blackrazor also understands every language you know. Personality. Blackrazor speaks with an imperious tone, as though accustomed to being obeyed. The sword’s purpose is to consume souls. It doesn’t care whose souls it eats, including the wielder’s. The sword believes that all matter and energy sprang from a void of negative energy and will one day return to it. Blackrazor is meant to hurry that process along. Despite its nihilism, Blackrazor feels a strange kinship to Wave and Whelm, two other weapons locked away under White Plume Mountain. It wants the three weapons to be united again and wielded together in combat, even though it violently disagrees with Whelm and finds Wave tedious. Blackrazor’s hunger for souls must be regularly fed. If the sword goes three days or more without consuming a soul, a conflict between it and its wielder occurs at the next sunset. |

Session Notes 2025-08-08 DDHC-DD-7 Dragon Delves: Before the Storm (part 2) Game Code - Game Name - Location - Table - DM - Party - We have been adventuring in Cobblehook Cove, a camp run by a pirates. The pirates had ransacked the town of Respite and stole 2 sapphire gems from the weathervane. This weathervane was the magic item protecting the city from the elemental plane located very nearby. We (some of us) rescued Pierre earlier (last week). We begin preparing to adventure further into the pirate (& dragon?) cave. Some new party members join us, having been sent from Respite to replace those who accompanied Pierre back to town. From the captive last week and from Pierre, we learned there are a couple known areas. There is a treasure trove. There is a kitchen. We expect there to be more pirates. There is a 2nd path. There is a dragon's nest. We choose a path. We hear pirates singing. We prepare for combat. We enter the cave. Combat 1 Great DM narration. We manage to leave 1 foe alive. We learned some information. The "captain" is the same as the dragon. It is called Sable Wing. The pirate was terrified to oppose Sable Wing. But as we eliminated his allies, he's fairly scared of us, too. He agrees that if we leave him alive he will escape and flee. We gather as much information as we can. His name is: J. C. Horace. Tandur gives him 74 gold since he's leaving without any of his, and he was so generous with information. Tandur (not sure of the intentions of the other party members) escorts him to the door. He departs through one set of doors. We enter the pirates' treasure trove (the other door). We find 1 of the 2 sapphires. Tandur keeps it. We depart the cave. We take a short rest in the woods under cover. Although we detected the dragon flying around (and it seemed angry) (we assess that he learned all his pirate were dead or gone). After a short rest we move back in. We enter the dragon's cave. He taunts us by showing us the sapphire. "Oh, you want this?" Greenwich attempts to negotiate (being dragonborn). It didn't work, but it bought us maybe a round to spread a little. Nonetheless Combat 2; and almost all of us get hit with a breath attack. Eventuatlly, Sable Wing takes flight. We noticed where he flipped the sapphire. Meinfoo who had been in melee with Sable Wing from the start of combat, managed to collect the sapphire. He gestured to Tandur. Tandur said, it's time for us to depart. Most of us focused on getting out of the cave, while Greenwich distracted the dragon by attacking him. We managed to get away, all of use alive (except for Dr. Hoo). We return to the town. We are showered in gifts. The dragon, having lost his followers, decides to depart. End of session.

Session Notes 2025-08-01 DDHC-DD-7 Party - We begin by helping save people in the burning tavern. We begin in the town of Respite. It's along the coast. They have a town weather vane. They believe the pirates, north along the coast, in Cobblehook Cove (aka the corsairs) started the fire in the tavern (in addition to / as a distraction to enable) the stealing of the sapphires from out of the eye sockets of the weather vane. Those sapphires power the magic weather vane to keep Respite safe from the nearby elemental plane of air. We ask questions and gather more facts from those we saved. A local townsperson, Vottree is concerned for her son, Pierre. He had a yearning for adventure. She fears he may have gotten mixed up with the pirates. Can we save him? Gives description. Mayor Gail (f) orc - Black Dragon = Acid. Adult 2 hours north. Harlow. Faerie deer. Combat 1 After combat Aura of Vitality. This restores, over the course of 1 minute, 20d6 HP. I did this very efficiently in-game. Since I wrote out my rolls, I can now see I rolled 56, compared to the midpoint of the bell curve, of 70. Not so great! Still 56 HP for a 3rd Level Spell Slot is pretty good (compared to other heals). 1 pirate captive, David. Chapter is not complete. Will complete next week. |

Magic Item(s) Bluesteel (Unbreakable Cast-Off Plate Armor) Story Award(s) The Friends We Made Along The Way Consumable(s) Elemental Gem (Blue Sapphire)* *TREASURE HUNT AWARD GUIDELINES Gold ...as well as 10 Downtime Days + a level, if you choose to take it. Hoard Item Option 1: ZEE’S CONTROL Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever. A staff marked with the crest of eccentric wandmaker Zee, whose last words were famously, “Wait, stop, undo, UNDO!” Temperate. You are unharmed by temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Hoard Item Option 2: INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY) You can take a Magic action to unfold a Portable Hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon the Portable Hole creates an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within the hole exists on a different plane of existence, so it can’t be used to create open passages. Any creature inside an open Portable Hole can exit the hole by climbing out of it. You can take a Magic action to close a Portable Hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing. If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s extradimensional space can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check. On a successful check, the creature forces its way out and appears within 5 feet of the Portable Hole. A closed Portable Hole holds enough air for 1 hour of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside. Placing a Portable Hole inside an extradimensional space created by a Bag of Holding, Heward’s Handy Haversack, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate and not behind Total Cover is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. When unfolded, the cloth expands like a pool of glossy ink. Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Monstrosity) Hoard Item Option 3: MY BEARDY FACE (SONGCRAFT BELT OF DWARVENKIND) A jaunty line from an old dwarven song is belted out whenever the wearer is struck: “You ain’t never had a beard like me!” Songcraft. Whenever this item is struck or is used to strike a foe, you hear a fragment of an ancient song. MY CHOICE - INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY) I will choose this one. While, Tandur has no need, it could be useful on Salator, since I did not min/max his abilities and features for damage. He's more general purpose, indeed, like a bard, and a general item like this could be used creatively in interesting ways. The Friends We Made Along The Way You prioritized the people of Nethentir in their time of need, and your kindness will be remembered. As word spreads, you gain one automatic success on a D20 test of your choosing in a FR-DC-THAY adventure. This applies to any attack roll, saving throw or check, and may be declared before or after the consequence of a roll is known. (It does not grant a Critical Hit.) When this singular success has been claimed, remove this Story Award from your character.

Session Notes 2025-08-22 DDHC-KGV-09 Shard of the Accursed Game Code - Game Name - Location - Table - DM - Party - Lex (f) human Ro-9 (Carsin) We meet with a potential employer at a dusty warehouse owned by the We are brought into a private office to meet with Jamishka. He wants to offer us a contract. He gives us the history of a town called Oztocan. Recently, the town started mining a new mineral. It's where he's from. He cares about it. But he removed an item from the town. Then bad things happened. He shows us the obsidian shard. It's a couple feet long. He wants us to return it. This requires 2 things - Bad things have been happening. It's not the risk to keep it. It's not worth the risk for him to travel with it. He doesn't want to risk danger to himself, his family or his favorite town. He knows that an employee of his vanished. He didn't give us (the module didn't reveal) a name. He knows about a new shadow organization: Onyx Scar. More history. Leandro - Relago - I was super tired. And the DM wasn't perfectly clear. I pulled this from DDB. Leandro Sedhar Asking for Leandro around town leads the characters to the Giant’s Skull, a welcoming inn made of wood and adobe. Leandro has been staying here for the past few weeks. Leandro (chaotic good noble) is a tabaxi—a Humanoid with feline features, including claws and a tail. He’s short and stout, with lush, sand-colored fur and thin whiskers. Tiny square glasses frame his amber eyes. He was born in a distant land but has been traveling abroad for nearly twenty years. He arrived in Oztocan a few months ago and is working on a play inspired by the town’s local legends. As a playwright, he often draws inspiration from history. Leandro welcomes the characters and takes an interest in the shard of Xeluan if they show it to him. He asks to see it more closely but refuses to touch it. In the course of a conversation, Leandro shares the following information with the characters: Earthquakes. “Oztocan hasn’t felt earthquakes in years, but quakes have become common in recent weeks. No damage has been done yet, but the quakes are getting worse. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.” Rilago. “Years ago, an elf archivist named Rilago claimed to have proof of a giant’s tomb beneath Oztocan. Rilago tried to mount a full-scale excavation, but the mayor wouldn’t allow it. Rilago stayed in Oztocan until his disappearance a few weeks ago—around the time the earthquakes began.” Tavio. “I recently spoke to the Tavio Solana, the mayor. He grew uncomfortable when I mentioned Rilago. It was Tavio’s father, the previous mayor, who refused to allow the excavation of Xeluan’s tomb. I don’t believe Tavio had anything to do with Rilago’s disappearance, but I can’t help but think Tavio knows something about it.” Aminta. “Tavio’s sister, Aminta, commands the town guard. Rumor has it she was involved with Rilago romantically.” Our rogue pulls a playing card off his fancy hat. The object is imbued with magic. Rumor: a man was carrying this object. He was accosted by bandits. There was a green glow. When he awoke. The bandits were gone, as though they vanished. He was still there, tied up. And the object was there, too. The nature of the magic imbued in the object is wild, wild & ancient. Our contract. We will gain full set of eleven chain in return for completion. He offers us the use of his magical carriage. It is powered by magic but does have a driver. We depart. It's about a day's travel. It's nighttime. Arrived: Oztocan. Vigilant Blessing: Lex [ ] spent 12 gold buying information from city guard. Distracted/sleepy. The rest of the players discovered... Distracted/ We agreed to become actors in Leandro's play. I was assigned baboon. We assemble below the theater. Rilago - there is a buried giant tomb. It has buried treasure. Rilago discovered cave drawings. He made it into a map. Leandro copied the map. We copy that. Rilago was good friends (maybe more) with Aminta. The gang, Onyx Scar, joined the city guard. Tavio was aware (of something unethical) and was covering for Aminta. There are 4 suggested ways in: We decided to attempt the main entrance. From the theater costumes Leandro owns, we can make reasonable disguises. DM: make Deception (how good is your costume) or Perception (how well you can find good costume items). Good roll: Percep 22 We travel to main entrance. We are escorted. Statue room. Statue is missing the heart. Scaffolding. Those who took a photo of the map with their phones agree on a direction. They choose the direction where there is a room called: Heroes' Rest. And we walk. Burial chamber. Ghostly male. Ghost of Rilago. They "broke the giant's heart." I sought answers. Found nothing. Nobody would help. Tried both Tavio & Aminta. Ancient adventurers (don't recall significance). Asked about Onyx Scar and caster. We conclude caster may be an innocent hire. Was not part of the original Onyx Scar, at any rate. Enter crypt. Amina instructed city guard to become/join Onyx Scar. The true 2nd shift arrives. We hear voices and suddenly running people wearing gear. We prepare for combat. Combat 1 Init 7 Rewards Full suit Elven Chain Octocanite crystal x2 each A fist-sized chunk of oztocanite can be used as a spellcasting focus that grants a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls. However, if its wielder rolls a 1 on a spell attack roll while using it as a focus, the chunk shatters and the creature takes 10 (3d6) thunder damage. |

It's place where those from the Forgotten Realms cross paths with those from SpellJammer, so either can serve as an origin point for your character.

You can increase the spell’s level by 1 for each additional charge you expend. Regaining Charges. The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn.

BMG-MOON-MD-05 Fleeing Snowdown Game Code - Game Name - Location - DM - Party - We are an existing party. We were returning by boat from a job. Ran into storm. Ship needed repairs. Docked ship at island, in the town of Westphal. We've been awaiting repairs for 4 days. We have learned some information about the setting. Lady Drysen Israh is the queen of this island. There is another island run by High King Kinrock. Israh may have set her sights on getting that island. Her police/army is called Dara Dragoons. In tavern. Bell ringing. Patrons stand like zombies and walk towards door. Door flings open. Man with wound enters. Runs to back door followed by 4 Dragoon guards. Outside it's all red light. Sent owl. Owl observes groups of zombies and groups of Dragoon guards. The guards are searching for something, entering buildings. Owl listens. "We must find him, or face her." The zombies were in groups of 10-15, and so were the guards. We rescued the wounded man, Captain Stephan. He had been on a mission to rescue Prince Olin, son of King Kinrock. We decided to help him. He needs to get off this island and report back to Kinrock. All the ships are burning in the harbor. He's got a backup boat in the northern town of Lanring. We have 11 hours to get him there and 10 more hours of night. We ask him what's going on. Oh, Queen Israh is probably doing a blood moon ritual. It allows her to take control of all undead. We decide the large groups of zombies and guards are too likely to discover Capt. Stephan, so we choose the sewers. After hitting a dead end, we decide to exit through the grate and make for a nearby gate. The closest gate is the main northern gate which is crawling with guards. Owl discovers another gate, a pedestrian gate, to the east. We go there. Sir Mancha puts Capt. Stephan on his horse which teleports 60 ft away, outside the gate. We then successfully talk our way out the gate. We find the horse and Capt. Stephan. We decide we will head north, staying parallel to the main north-south road. No loot |

But that player is not present tonight. We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives. We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth. We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information. We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead. In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic. The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms. Perfume, gem. - see loot A door has a placard saying something like: We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message: We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle. Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to: Desk with letters in Undercommon. A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room. We continue north. We find a large prison room. Loot |

We are tasked with 4 invitations.
3. 4. We report to queen. She agrees they are suspicious. She summons them. The man changes form into a female fey, and vanishes. Seems to have teleported.

Oh, yes. She writes one up and seals it with wax. She gives us each 100 g to start with. - now on character sheet We can speed things up by taking the teleport circle in the Covenant (mages guild). We agree. [] Tandur pays 600 gold for all 3 of us. - now on character sheet Arcana check: the teleporter looks old but functional. We should get the assistance of Ranil Scorson (Ramis Scorsesee) because (don't remember). Before we can leave, a man and a metal creature barge in claiming they (two) are the real adventurers and that we are frauds. We point out the wax seal on our letter. We persuade Tisia. She orders them removed without asking for their names. Tandur makes a mental note of their descriptions. She gives us a Moon-Touched Longsword (common) Give 3 Greater Healing potions. - now on character sheet We depart and go to a tavern where Tisia thinks we can find Ranil. Darla, bartender, says Ranil won't be in the bar until her debt is paid. Eerie pays the debt (forgot how much). Darla equips battle axe with peace binding and guides us to a place where Ranil hangs out (house, guild, ? don't recall). Another person talks to Darla through the door slit. We are admitted. Darla departs. We explain our mission. Ranil agrees to help. We need to get to the rogue planetoid. The best way is by using a spelljammer ship. But we need to catch that at the Spelljammer Academy. She will help us get there. We must hurry to catch Captain Mert of the skyship, the galleon, Cloud Bearer's Fortune. Ranil guides us to the captain's quarters where he is sleeping off a hangover. She wakes him and persuades him to take us all to the Spelljammer Academy. Aboard, we learn he is the Mert, the money lender, the old wolf. Long Rest. We travel to Nimbrill, to the Spelljammer Academy. We land the ship (I missed it: either in a cave or on top of a tower). We are met by Saerthe, the head instructor. We explain our mission. He says we need to take a spelljammer to Iskirthos, the rogue planetoid. Spelljammers work by flying really fast (1M miles per day) unless something large (missed detail) is within (missed distance) of the ship, in which case it just slows down automatically. Then the ship and the object are pulled towards each other by (missed that detail). If it's a planet, then the gravity does that. And the spelljammer takes along a bubble of air which can last a (period of ?). We are granted a helmsman. I remember this. The helmsman uses spell slots to direct the ship, I think. The helmsman is located behind doors in the aft of the ship. Why did I write this name? Maybe the helmsman? We have to make saving throws against space sickness. Tandur fails and now has 1 level of Exhaustion. [] I want Tandur to be looking for We slow as we come near to an asteroid. Creatures (I entirely missed the description, except they attack with tongues) leap aboard. One in particular attempts to move towards the helmsman's station. Combat 1 One of the killed creatures vomits up Bracers of Defense. - now on character sheet Loot summary |

Web: Araithe is the son of High Lady Ordalf, He is fey (?) (elf) We are on the isle of Gwynneth. There are visitors and travelers lined up for entry. Due to our service, we are already inside. Some of us (those with certain Story Awards) have a separate seating at the service. Kwyjibo & Tandur are at a lower status than the others. The others also get private rooms. We share. We are invited to a celebration (feels like rehearsal dinner), during which we are met by (a fey) Lady Sinofra. She will ask us later, "What is the promise of blossoms?" Note: there is no correct answer. Part of noble eladrin. (Who? I didn't note that). Sound of wonderful, but insistent, singing. Is the promise of blossoms a tale retold, Does the promise of blossoms unite sun and rain, Is it the murmur of leaves in the sun’s warm embrace, In the promise of blossoms, a question takes flight: Tarilyn is up. She is moving towards the sound. We accompany. Spirt it of ancient queen, High Queen Allison. Lady Siofra In order to join Tarilyn, some must prick finger on needle of spinning wheel. Tandur agrees. -1 HP. Must clear the brambles. But that requires completing tests in the library. There are 4 alcoves, each with a book connected by a red thread to the spinning wheel. Books Once we complete the tests, up to 4, we can then deal with the tower guardians. Then Tarilyn can awaken the High Lord via kiss or touch. It's 12:30 (00:30); we have about 6 hours. 4 choices; not all are requrired. How else would love triumph. Each successful (library) test will clear some of the brambles. The first we choose is "Cinder Maid." We fade out / fade in... ... to a ballroom. We see Araithe. Success. Return to library. Some brambles have been removed, but enough remain to still block the way. We choose "Nussknacker" Grandfather clock. We are small. Soldiers attempt to ascend stairs. Really, really unclear the physical setting. Disadv. on DEX Saves (then Checks) from now on. Init. Large gear to small gear. At transition, make Athletics or Acrobatics. Sequence: gear - transition - gear Temp HP At the top fight: We prevail. Must convince Araithe to remove mask. Tandur: Country is important, but for the future relationship matter more. Break (Short rest? ) Climb tower. Dragon (Siofra) breathes cloud of spores Dragon > Kwyjibo. Killed owl. Reset owl. We fight. Dragon almost dead. Another hit. Eventually, we each make our way to the coffin. One-by-one, we activate a magic latch. "What is the promise of blossoms?" Uh, love! That was good enough. Queen appears. Something about Siofra.

Rewards: Part 1 Part 2 & Conclusion 1 Characters may choose to gain a level. 2 Choice of the following: Dragon Mark Code! Kwyjibo: 06f6-401d-8a2d Always thanks to John Steele for his spell effects template! Wave Held in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, this trident is an exquisite weapon engraved with images of waves, shells, and sea creatures. Although you must worship a god of the sea to attune to this weapon, Wave happily accepts new converts. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you score a critical hit with it, the target takes extra necrotic damage equal to half its hit point maximum. The weapon also functions as a trident of fish command and a weapon of warning. It can confer the benefit of a cap of water breathing while you hold it, and you can use it as a cube of force by choosing the effect, instead of pressing cube sides to select it. Sentience: Wave is a sentient weapon of neutral alignment, with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 18. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Aquan. It can also speak with aquatic animals as if using a speak with animals spell, using telepathy to involve its wielder in the conversation. Personality: When it grows restless, Wave has a habit of humming tunes that vary from sea chanteys to sacred hymns of the sea gods. Wave zealously desires to convert mortals to the worship of one or more sea gods, or else to consign the faithless to death. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to further the weapon's objectives in the world. The trident has a nostalgic attachment to the place where it was forged, a desolate island called Thunderforge. A sea god imprisoned a family of storm giants there, and the giants forged Wave in an act of devotion to- or rebellion against-that god. Wave harbors a secret doubt about its own nature and purpose. For all its devotion to the sea gods, Wave fears that it was intended to bring about a particular sea god's demise. This destiny is something Wave might not be able to avert. Whelm Whelm is a powerful warhammer forged by dwarves and lost in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. At dawn the day after you first make an attack roll with Whelm, you develop a fear of being outdoors that persists as long as you remain attuned to the weapon. This causes you to have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks while you can see the daytime sky. Thrown Weapon: Whelm has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack using it, the target takes an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage, or an extra 2d8 bludgeoning damage if the target is a giant. Each time you throw the weapon, it flies back to your hand after the attack. If you don't have a hand free, the weapon lands at your feet. Shock Wave: You can use an action to strike the ground with Whelm and send a shock wave out from the point of impact. Each creature of your choice on the ground within 60 feet of that point must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn. Supernatural Awareness: While you are holding the weapon, it alerts you to the location of any secret or concealed doors within 30 feet of you. In addition, you can use an action to cast detect evil and good or locate object from the weapon. Once you cast either spell, you can't cast it from the weapon again until the next dawn. Sentience: Whelm is a sentient lawful neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 15. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Dwarvish. Giant, and Goblin. It shouts battle cries in Dwarvish when used in combat. Personality: Whelm's purpose is to slaughter giants and goblinoids. It also seeks to protect dwarves against all enemies. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to destroy goblins and giants or to protect dwarves. Whelm has ties to the dwarf clan that created it, variously called the Dankil or the Mightyhammer clan. It longs to be returned to that clan. It would do anything to protect those dwarves from harm. The hammer also carries a secret shame. Centuries ago, a dwarf named Ctenmiir wielded it valiantly for a time. But Ctenmiir was turned into a vampire. His will was strong enough that he bent Whelm to his evil purposes, even killing members of his own clan. Blackrazor Hidden in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, Blackrazor shines like a piece of night sky filled with stars. Its black scabbard is decorated with pieces of cut obsidian. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. It has the following additional properties. Devour Soul. Whenever you use it to reduce a creature to 0 hit points, the sword slays the creature and devours its soul, unless it is a construct or an undead. A creature whose soul has been devoured by Blackrazor can be restored to life only by a wish spell. When it devours a soul, Blackrazor grants you temporary hit points equal to the slain creature’s hit point maximum. These hit points fade after 24 hours. As long as these temporary hit points last and you keep Blackrazor in hand, you have advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. If you hit an undead with this weapon, you take 1d10 necrotic damage and the target regains 1d10 hit points. If this necrotic damage reduces you to 0 hit points, Blackrazor devours your soul. Soul Hunter. While you hold the weapon, you are aware of the presence of Tiny or larger creatures within 60 feet of you that aren’t constructs or undead. You also can’t be charmed or frightened. Blackrazor can cast the haste spell on you once per day. It decides when to cast the spell and maintains concentration on it so that you don’t have to. Sentience. Blackrazor is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 19. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon can speak, read, and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically. Its voice is deep and echoing. While you are attuned to it, Blackrazor also understands every language you know. Personality. Blackrazor speaks with an imperious tone, as though accustomed to being obeyed. The sword’s purpose is to consume souls. It doesn’t care whose souls it eats, including the wielder’s. The sword believes that all matter and energy sprang from a void of negative energy and will one day return to it. Blackrazor is meant to hurry that process along. Despite its nihilism, Blackrazor feels a strange kinship to Wave and Whelm, two other weapons locked away under White Plume Mountain. It wants the three weapons to be united again and wielded together in combat, even though it violently disagrees with Whelm and finds Wave tedious. Blackrazor’s hunger for souls must be regularly fed. If the sword goes three days or more without consuming a soul, a conflict between it and its wielder occurs at the next sunset. |

Session Notes 2025-08-08 DDHC-DD-7 Dragon Delves: Before the Storm (part 2) Game Code - Game Name - Location - Table - DM - Party - We have been adventuring in Cobblehook Cove, a camp run by a pirates. The pirates had ransacked the town of Respite and stole 2 sapphire gems from the weathervane. This weathervane was the magic item protecting the city from the elemental plane located very nearby. We (some of us) rescued Pierre earlier (last week). We begin preparing to adventure further into the pirate (& dragon?) cave. Some new party members join us, having been sent from Respite to replace those who accompanied Pierre back to town. From the captive last week and from Pierre, we learned there are a couple known areas. There is a treasure trove. There is a kitchen. We expect there to be more pirates. There is a 2nd path. There is a dragon's nest. We choose a path. We hear pirates singing. We prepare for combat. We enter the cave. Combat 1 Great DM narration. We manage to leave 1 foe alive. We learned some information. The "captain" is the same as the dragon. It is called Sable Wing. The pirate was terrified to oppose Sable Wing. But as we eliminated his allies, he's fairly scared of us, too. He agrees that if we leave him alive he will escape and flee. We gather as much information as we can. His name is: J. C. Horace. Tandur gives him 74 gold since he's leaving without any of his, and he was so generous with information. Tandur (not sure of the intentions of the other party members) escorts him to the door. He departs through one set of doors. We enter the pirates' treasure trove (the other door). We find 1 of the 2 sapphires. Tandur keeps it. We depart the cave. We take a short rest in the woods under cover. Although we detected the dragon flying around (and it seemed angry) (we assess that he learned all his pirate were dead or gone). After a short rest we move back in. We enter the dragon's cave. He taunts us by showing us the sapphire. "Oh, you want this?" Greenwich attempts to negotiate (being dragonborn). It didn't work, but it bought us maybe a round to spread a little. Nonetheless Combat 2; and almost all of us get hit with a breath attack. Eventuatlly, Sable Wing takes flight. We noticed where he flipped the sapphire. Meinfoo who had been in melee with Sable Wing from the start of combat, managed to collect the sapphire. He gestured to Tandur. Tandur said, it's time for us to depart. Most of us focused on getting out of the cave, while Greenwich distracted the dragon by attacking him. We managed to get away, all of use alive (except for Dr. Hoo). We return to the town. We are showered in gifts. The dragon, having lost his followers, decides to depart. End of session.

Session Notes 2025-08-01 DDHC-DD-7 Party - We begin by helping save people in the burning tavern. We begin in the town of Respite. It's along the coast. They have a town weather vane. They believe the pirates, north along the coast, in Cobblehook Cove (aka the corsairs) started the fire in the tavern (in addition to / as a distraction to enable) the stealing of the sapphires from out of the eye sockets of the weather vane. Those sapphires power the magic weather vane to keep Respite safe from the nearby elemental plane of air. We ask questions and gather more facts from those we saved. A local townsperson, Vottree is concerned for her son, Pierre. He had a yearning for adventure. She fears he may have gotten mixed up with the pirates. Can we save him? Gives description. Mayor Gail (f) orc - Black Dragon = Acid. Adult 2 hours north. Harlow. Faerie deer. Combat 1 After combat Aura of Vitality. This restores, over the course of 1 minute, 20d6 HP. I did this very efficiently in-game. Since I wrote out my rolls, I can now see I rolled 56, compared to the midpoint of the bell curve, of 70. Not so great! Still 56 HP for a 3rd Level Spell Slot is pretty good (compared to other heals). 1 pirate captive, David. Chapter is not complete. Will complete next week. |

Session Notes 2025-08-17-A FR-DC-THAY-04 What Thayans Want Game Code - Game Name - Location - Table/Session - Slot (for survey) - DM - Party - More later Rewards Congratulations, you've gained... Magic Item(s) Bluesteel (Unbreakable Cast-Off Plate Armor) Story Award(s) The Friends We Made Along The Way Consumable(s) Elemental Gem (Blue Sapphire)* *TREASURE HUNT AWARD GUIDELINES Gold ...as well as 10 Downtime Days + a level, if you choose to take it. Hoard Item Option 1: ZEE’S CONTROL Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever. A staff marked with the crest of eccentric wandmaker Zee, whose last words were famously, “Wait, stop, undo, UNDO!” Temperate. You are unharmed by temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Hoard Item Option 2: INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY) You can take a Magic action to unfold a Portable Hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon the Portable Hole creates an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within the hole exists on a different plane of existence, so it can’t be used to create open passages. Any creature inside an open Portable Hole can exit the hole by climbing out of it. You can take a Magic action to close a Portable Hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing. If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s extradimensional space can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check. On a successful check, the creature forces its way out and appears within 5 feet of the Portable Hole. A closed Portable Hole holds enough air for 1 hour of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside. Placing a Portable Hole inside an extradimensional space created by a Bag of Holding, Heward’s Handy Haversack, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate and not behind Total Cover is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. When unfolded, the cloth expands like a pool of glossy ink. Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Monstrosity) Hoard Item Option 3: MY BEARDY FACE (SONGCRAFT BELT OF DWARVENKIND) A jaunty line from an old dwarven song is belted out whenever the wearer is struck: “You ain’t never had a beard like me!” Songcraft. Whenever this item is struck or is used to strike a foe, you hear a fragment of an ancient song. MY CHOICE - INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY) I will choose this one. While, Tandur has no need, it could be useful on Salator, since I did not min/max his abilities and features for damage. He's more general purpose, indeed, like a bard, and a general item like this could be used creatively in interesting ways. The Friends We Made Along The Way You prioritized the people of Nethentir in their time of need, and your kindness will be remembered. As word spreads, you gain one automatic success on a D20 test of your choosing in a FR-DC-THAY adventure. This applies to any attack roll, saving throw or check, and may be declared before or after the consequence of a roll is known. (It does not grant a Critical Hit.) When this singular success has been claimed, remove this Story Award from your character. ELEMENTAL GEM (RED CORUNDUM) Wondrous Item, uncommon ELEMENTAL GEM (YELLOW DIAMOND) ELEMENTAL GEM (BLUE SAPPHIRE) |

Session Notes 2025-08-22 DDHC-KGV-09 Shard of the Accursed Game Code - Game Name - Location - Table - DM - Party - Lex (f) human Ro-9 (Carsin) We meet with a potential employer at a dusty warehouse owned by the We are brought into a private office to meet with Jamishka. He wants to offer us a contract. He gives us the history of a town called Oztocan. Recently, the town started mining a new mineral. It's where he's from. He cares about it. But he removed an item from the town. Then bad things happened. He shows us the obsidian shard. It's a couple feet long. He wants us to return it. This requires 2 things - Bad things have been happening. It's not the risk to keep it. It's not worth the risk for him to travel with it. He doesn't want to risk danger to himself, his family or his favorite town. He knows that an employee of his vanished. He didn't give us (the module didn't reveal) a name. He knows about a new shadow organization: Onyx Scar. More history. Leandro - Relago - I was super tired. And the DM wasn't perfectly clear. I pulled this from DDB. Leandro Sedhar Asking for Leandro around town leads the characters to the Giant’s Skull, a welcoming inn made of wood and adobe. Leandro has been staying here for the past few weeks. Leandro (chaotic good noble) is a tabaxi—a Humanoid with feline features, including claws and a tail. He’s short and stout, with lush, sand-colored fur and thin whiskers. Tiny square glasses frame his amber eyes. He was born in a distant land but has been traveling abroad for nearly twenty years. He arrived in Oztocan a few months ago and is working on a play inspired by the town’s local legends. As a playwright, he often draws inspiration from history. Leandro welcomes the characters and takes an interest in the shard of Xeluan if they show it to him. He asks to see it more closely but refuses to touch it. In the course of a conversation, Leandro shares the following information with the characters: Earthquakes. “Oztocan hasn’t felt earthquakes in years, but quakes have become common in recent weeks. No damage has been done yet, but the quakes are getting worse. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.” Rilago. “Years ago, an elf archivist named Rilago claimed to have proof of a giant’s tomb beneath Oztocan. Rilago tried to mount a full-scale excavation, but the mayor wouldn’t allow it. Rilago stayed in Oztocan until his disappearance a few weeks ago—around the time the earthquakes began.” Tavio. “I recently spoke to the Tavio Solana, the mayor. He grew uncomfortable when I mentioned Rilago. It was Tavio’s father, the previous mayor, who refused to allow the excavation of Xeluan’s tomb. I don’t believe Tavio had anything to do with Rilago’s disappearance, but I can’t help but think Tavio knows something about it.” Aminta. “Tavio’s sister, Aminta, commands the town guard. Rumor has it she was involved with Rilago romantically.” Our rogue pulls a playing card off his fancy hat. The object is imbued with magic. Rumor: a man was carrying this object. He was accosted by bandits. There was a green glow. When he awoke. The bandits were gone, as though they vanished. He was still there, tied up. And the object was there, too. The nature of the magic imbued in the object is wild, wild & ancient. Our contract. We will gain full set of eleven chain in return for completion. He offers us the use of his magical carriage. It is powered by magic but does have a driver. We depart. It's about a day's travel. It's nighttime. Arrived: Oztocan. Vigilant Blessing: Lex [ ] spent 12 gold buying information from city guard. Distracted/sleepy. The rest of the players discovered... Distracted/ We agreed to become actors in Leandro's play. I was assigned baboon. We assemble below the theater. Rilago - there is a buried giant tomb. It has buried treasure. Rilago discovered cave drawings. He made it into a map. Leandro copied the map. We copy that. Rilago was good friends (maybe more) with Aminta. The gang, Onyx Scar, joined the city guard. Tavio was aware (of something unethical) and was covering for Aminta. There are 4 suggested ways in: We decided to attempt the main entrance. From the theater costumes Leandro owns, we can make reasonable disguises. DM: make Deception (how good is your costume) or Perception (how well you can find good costume items). Good roll: Percep 22 We travel to main entrance. We are escorted. Statue room. Statue is missing the heart. Scaffolding. Those who took a photo of the map with their phones agree on a direction. They choose the direction where there is a room called: Heroes' Rest. And we walk. Burial chamber. Ghostly male. Ghost of Rilago. They "broke the giant's heart." I sought answers. Found nothing. Nobody would help. Tried both Tavio & Aminta. Ancient adventurers (don't recall significance). Asked about Onyx Scar and caster. We conclude caster may be an innocent hire. Was not part of the original Onyx Scar, at any rate. Enter crypt. Amina instructed city guard to become/join Onyx Scar. The true 2nd shift arrives. We hear voices and suddenly running people wearing gear. We prepare for combat. Combat 1 Init 7 Rewards Full suit Elven Chain Octocanite crystal x2 each A fist-sized chunk of oztocanite can be used as a spellcasting focus that grants a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls. However, if its wielder rolls a 1 on a spell attack roll while using it as a focus, the chunk shatters and the creature takes 10 (3d6) thunder damage. |

It's place where those from the Forgotten Realms cross paths with those from SpellJammer, so either can serve as an origin point for your character. While this advenutre does contain some deep cut lore from SpellJammer's past, it's designed to be fun for players who have only heard of the setting as much as those who've been playing in Wildspace for decades.

While it may no longer be able to power the ship, it's still hold more than enough power to vapourize the careless. This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can expend no more than 3 charges to cast Lightning Bolt (save DC 15) from it. For 1 charge, you cast the level 3 version of the spell. You can increase the spell’s level by 1 for each additional charge you expend. Regaining Charges. The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed. Potion of Acid Resistance This potion was found in a abandonned footlocker on the Lady Luck; it smells faintly of unwashed feet. When you drink this potion, you gain resistance to acid damage for 1 hour. Potion of Healing (Greater) You regain 4d4 + 4 Hit Points when you drink this potion. The potion’s red liquid glimmers when agitated. Pack of Smokepowder and Firearm Bullets Smokepowder is a magical explosive chiefly used to propel a bullet out of the barrel of a firearm. It is stored in airtight tiny, waterproof leather packets. A packet contains enough smokepowder for five shots. If smokepowder is set on fire, dropped, or otherwise handled roughly, it explodes and deals 1d6 of fire damage to each creature or object within 20 feet of it. A successful DC 12 Dexterity saving throw halves the damage. 5 Firearm Bullets are included in the package; Firearm Bullets are destroyed upon use in a modern firearm.

BMG-MOON-MD-05 Fleeing Snowdown Game Code - Game Name - Location - DM - Party - We are an existing party. We were returning by boat from a job. Ran into storm. Ship needed repairs. Docked ship at island, in the town of Westphal. We've been awaiting repairs for 4 days. We have learned some information about the setting. Lady Drysen Israh is the queen of this island. There is another island run by High King Kinrock. Israh may have set her sights on getting that island. Her police/army is called Dara Dragoons. In tavern. Bell ringing. Patrons stand like zombies and walk towards door. Door flings open. Man with wound enters. Runs to back door followed by 4 Dragoon guards. Outside it's all red light. Sent owl. Owl observes groups of zombies and groups of Dragoon guards. The guards are searching for something, entering buildings. Owl listens. "We must find him, or face her." The zombies were in groups of 10-15, and so were the guards. We rescued the wounded man, Captain Stephan. He had been on a mission to rescue Prince Olin, son of King Kinrock. We decided to help him. He needs to get off this island and report back to Kinrock. All the ships are burning in the harbor. He's got a backup boat in the northern town of Lanring. We have 11 hours to get him there and 10 more hours of night. We ask him what's going on. Oh, Queen Israh is probably doing a blood moon ritual. It allows her to take control of all undead. We decide the large groups of zombies and guards are too likely to discover Capt. Stephan, so we choose the sewers. After hitting a dead end, we decide to exit through the grate and make for a nearby gate. The closest gate is the main northern gate which is crawling with guards. Owl discovers another gate, a pedestrian gate, to the east. We go there. Sir Mancha puts Capt. Stephan on his horse which teleports 60 ft away, outside the gate. We then successfully talk our way out the gate. We find the horse and Capt. Stephan. We decide we will head north, staying parallel to the main north-south road. No loot |

Session Notes 2025-04-02 Party - When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight. We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives. We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth. We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information. We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead. In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic. The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms. Perfume, gem. - see loot A door has a placard saying something like: We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message: We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle. Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to: Desk with letters in Undercommon. A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room. We continue north. We find a large prison room. Loot |

Session Notes 2025-04-09 BMG-DRW-OD-01 Something in the Way Game Code - Game Name - Location - DM - Party - We being in Neverwinter. Before leaving, Eerie asks if we should have a formal letter. Oh, yes. She writes one up and seals it with wax. She gives us each 100 g to start with. - now on character sheet We can speed things up by taking the teleport circle in the Covenant (mages guild). We agree. [] Tandur pays 600 gold for all 3 of us. - now on character sheet Arcana check: the teleporter looks old but functional. We should get the assistance of Ranil Scorson (Ramis Scorsesee) because (don't remember). Before we can leave, a man and a metal creature barge in claiming they (two) are the real adventurers and that we are frauds. We point out the wax seal on our letter. We persuade Tisia. She orders them removed without asking for their names. Tandur makes a mental note of their descriptions. She gives us a Moon-Touched Longsword (common) Give 3 Greater Healing potions. - now on character sheet We depart and go to a tavern where Tisia thinks we can find Ranil. Darla, bartender, says Ranil won't be in the bar until her debt is paid. Eerie pays the debt (forgot how much). Darla equips battle axe with peace binding and guides us to a place where Ranil hangs out (house, guild, ? don't recall). Another person talks to Darla through the door slit. We are admitted. Darla departs. We explain our mission. Ranil agrees to help. We need to get to the rogue planetoid. The best way is by using a spelljammer ship. But we need to catch that at the Spelljammer Academy. She will help us get there. We must hurry to catch Captain Mert of the skyship, the galleon, Cloud Bearer's Fortune. Ranil guides us to the captain's quarters where he is sleeping off a hangover. She wakes him and persuades him to take us all to the Spelljammer Academy. Aboard, we learn he is the Mert, the money lender, the old wolf. Long Rest. We travel to Nimbrill, to the Spelljammer Academy. We land the ship (I missed it: either in a cave or on top of a tower). We are met by Saerthe, the head instructor. We explain our mission. He says we need to take a spelljammer to Iskirthos, the rogue planetoid. Spelljammers work by flying really fast (1M miles per day) unless something large (missed detail) is within (missed distance) of the ship, in which case it just slows down automatically. Then the ship and the object are pulled towards each other by (missed that detail). If it's a planet, then the gravity does that. And the spelljammer takes along a bubble of air which can last a (period of ?). We are granted a helmsman. I remember this. The helmsman uses spell slots to direct the ship, I think. The helmsman is located behind doors in the aft of the ship. Why did I write this name? Maybe the helmsman? We have to make saving throws against space sickness. Tandur fails and now has 1 level of Exhaustion. [] I want Tandur to be looking for We slow as we come near to an asteroid. Creatures (I entirely missed the description, except they attack with tongues) leap aboard. One in particular attempts to move towards the helmsman's station. Combat 1 One of the killed creatures vomits up Bracers of Defense. - now on character sheet Loot summary |

Web: Araithe is the son of High Lady Ordalf, He is fey (?) (elf) We are on the isle of Gwynneth. There are visitors and travelers lined up for entry. Due to our service, we are already inside. Some of us (those with certain Story Awards) have a separate seating at the service. Kwyjibo & Tandur are at a lower status than the others. The others also get private rooms. We share. We are invited to a celebration (feels like rehearsal dinner), during which we are met by (a fey) Lady Sinofra. She will ask us later, "What is the promise of blossoms?" Note: there is no correct answer. Part of noble eladrin. (Who? I didn't note that). Sound of wonderful, but insistent, singing. Is the promise of blossoms a tale retold, Does the promise of blossoms unite sun and rain, Is it the murmur of leaves in the sun’s warm embrace, In the promise of blossoms, a question takes flight: Tarilyn is up. She is moving towards the sound. We accompany. Spirt it of ancient queen, High Queen Allison. Lady Siofra In order to join Tarilyn, some must prick finger on needle of spinning wheel. Tandur agrees. -1 HP. Must clear the brambles. But that requires completing tests in the library. There are 4 alcoves, each with a book connected by a red thread to the spinning wheel. Books Once we complete the tests, up to 4, we can then deal with the tower guardians. Then Tarilyn can awaken the High Lord via kiss or touch. It's 12:30 (00:30); we have about 6 hours. 4 choices; not all are requrired. How else would love triumph. Each successful (library) test will clear some of the brambles. The first we choose is "Cinder Maid." We fade out / fade in... ... to a ballroom. We see Araithe. Success. Return to library. Some brambles have been removed, but enough remain to still block the way. We choose "Nussknacker" Grandfather clock. We are small. Soldiers attempt to ascend stairs. Really, really unclear the physical setting. Disadv. on DEX Saves (then Checks) from now on. Init. Large gear to small gear. At transition, make Athletics or Acrobatics. Sequence: gear - transition - gear Temp HP At the top fight: We prevail. Must convince Araithe to remove mask. Tandur: Country is important, but for the future relationship matter more. Break (Short rest? ) Climb tower. Dragon (Siofra) breathes cloud of spores Dragon > Kwyjibo. Killed owl. Reset owl. We fight. Dragon almost dead. Another hit. Eventually, we each make our way to the coffin. One-by-one, we activate a magic latch. "What is the promise of blossoms?" Uh, love! That was good enough. Queen appears. Something about Siofra.

Combat 2 Combat 3 DM rules - 1 hour break Resume I was relatively satisfied with my regular Bless. It helped a bit. It was not super powerful because most people hit or (obviously) missed before I had a chance to remind them of Bless. I might consider switching to Bane. Also there is a conflict. If I use Concentration for Bless, I cannot also use Moonbeam. Moonbeam is free (subclass), so I can't unprepare it.

Combat 6 Loot: Room of glass spheres Necklace 12,000 gold Combat 8 I used my 4th level Dispel Magic. And it worked. More treasure. Rewards: Part 1 Part 2 & Conclusion 1 Characters may choose to gain a level. 2 Choice of the following: Dragon Mark Code! Kwyjibo: 06f6-401d-8a2d Always thanks to John Steele for his spell effects template! Wave Held in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, this trident is an exquisite weapon engraved with images of waves, shells, and sea creatures. Although you must worship a god of the sea to attune to this weapon, Wave happily accepts new converts. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you score a critical hit with it, the target takes extra necrotic damage equal to half its hit point maximum. The weapon also functions as a trident of fish command and a weapon of warning. It can confer the benefit of a cap of water breathing while you hold it, and you can use it as a cube of force by choosing the effect, instead of pressing cube sides to select it. Sentience: Wave is a sentient weapon of neutral alignment, with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 18. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Aquan. It can also speak with aquatic animals as if using a speak with animals spell, using telepathy to involve its wielder in the conversation. Personality: When it grows restless, Wave has a habit of humming tunes that vary from sea chanteys to sacred hymns of the sea gods. Wave zealously desires to convert mortals to the worship of one or more sea gods, or else to consign the faithless to death. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to further the weapon's objectives in the world. The trident has a nostalgic attachment to the place where it was forged, a desolate island called Thunderforge. A sea god imprisoned a family of storm giants there, and the giants forged Wave in an act of devotion to- or rebellion against-that god. Wave harbors a secret doubt about its own nature and purpose. For all its devotion to the sea gods, Wave fears that it was intended to bring about a particular sea god's demise. This destiny is something Wave might not be able to avert. Whelm Whelm is a powerful warhammer forged by dwarves and lost in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. At dawn the day after you first make an attack roll with Whelm, you develop a fear of being outdoors that persists as long as you remain attuned to the weapon. This causes you to have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks while you can see the daytime sky. Thrown Weapon: Whelm has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack using it, the target takes an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage, or an extra 2d8 bludgeoning damage if the target is a giant. Each time you throw the weapon, it flies back to your hand after the attack. If you don't have a hand free, the weapon lands at your feet. Shock Wave: You can use an action to strike the ground with Whelm and send a shock wave out from the point of impact. Each creature of your choice on the ground within 60 feet of that point must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn. Supernatural Awareness: While you are holding the weapon, it alerts you to the location of any secret or concealed doors within 30 feet of you. In addition, you can use an action to cast detect evil and good or locate object from the weapon. Once you cast either spell, you can't cast it from the weapon again until the next dawn. Sentience: Whelm is a sentient lawful neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 15. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Dwarvish. Giant, and Goblin. It shouts battle cries in Dwarvish when used in combat. Personality: Whelm's purpose is to slaughter giants and goblinoids. It also seeks to protect dwarves against all enemies. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to destroy goblins and giants or to protect dwarves. Whelm has ties to the dwarf clan that created it, variously called the Dankil or the Mightyhammer clan. It longs to be returned to that clan. It would do anything to protect those dwarves from harm. The hammer also carries a secret shame. Centuries ago, a dwarf named Ctenmiir wielded it valiantly for a time. But Ctenmiir was turned into a vampire. His will was strong enough that he bent Whelm to his evil purposes, even killing members of his own clan. Blackrazor Hidden in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, Blackrazor shines like a piece of night sky filled with stars. Its black scabbard is decorated with pieces of cut obsidian. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. It has the following additional properties. Devour Soul. Whenever you use it to reduce a creature to 0 hit points, the sword slays the creature and devours its soul, unless it is a construct or an undead. A creature whose soul has been devoured by Blackrazor can be restored to life only by a wish spell. When it devours a soul, Blackrazor grants you temporary hit points equal to the slain creature’s hit point maximum. These hit points fade after 24 hours. As long as these temporary hit points last and you keep Blackrazor in hand, you have advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. If you hit an undead with this weapon, you take 1d10 necrotic damage and the target regains 1d10 hit points. If this necrotic damage reduces you to 0 hit points, Blackrazor devours your soul. Soul Hunter. While you hold the weapon, you are aware of the presence of Tiny or larger creatures within 60 feet of you that aren’t constructs or undead. You also can’t be charmed or frightened. Blackrazor can cast the haste spell on you once per day. It decides when to cast the spell and maintains concentration on it so that you don’t have to. Sentience. Blackrazor is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 19. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon can speak, read, and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically. Its voice is deep and echoing. While you are attuned to it, Blackrazor also understands every language you know. Personality. Blackrazor speaks with an imperious tone, as though accustomed to being obeyed. The sword’s purpose is to consume souls. It doesn’t care whose souls it eats, including the wielder’s. The sword believes that all matter and energy sprang from a void of negative energy and will one day return to it. Blackrazor is meant to hurry that process along. Despite its nihilism, Blackrazor feels a strange kinship to Wave and Whelm, two other weapons locked away under White Plume Mountain. It wants the three weapons to be united again and wielded together in combat, even though it violently disagrees with Whelm and finds Wave tedious. Blackrazor’s hunger for souls must be regularly fed. If the sword goes three days or more without consuming a soul, a conflict between it and its wielder occurs at the next sunset. |

Session Notes 2025-08-08 DDHC-DD-7 Dragon Delves: Before the Storm (part 2) Game Code - Game Name - Location - Table - DM - Party - We have been adventuring in Cobblehook Cove, a camp run by a pirates. The pirates had ransacked the town of Respite and stole 2 sapphire gems from the weathervane. This weathervane was the magic item protecting the city from the elemental plane located very nearby. We (some of us) rescued Pierre earlier (last week). We begin preparing to adventure further into the pirate (& dragon?) cave. Some new party members join us, having been sent from Respite to replace those who accompanied Pierre back to town. From the captive last week and from Pierre, we learned there are a couple known areas. There is a treasure trove. There is a kitchen. We expect there to be more pirates. There is a 2nd path. There is a dragon's nest. We choose a path. We hear pirates singing. We prepare for combat. We enter the cave. Combat 1 Great DM narration. We manage to leave 1 foe alive. We learned some information. The "captain" is the same as the dragon. It is called Sable Wing. The pirate was terrified to oppose Sable Wing. But as we eliminated his allies, he's fairly scared of us, too. He agrees that if we leave him alive he will escape and flee. We gather as much information as we can. His name is: J. C. Horace. Tandur gives him 74 gold since he's leaving without any of his, and he was so generous with information. Tandur (not sure of the intentions of the other party members) escorts him to the door. He departs through one set of doors. We enter the pirates' treasure trove (the other door). We find 1 of the 2 sapphires. Tandur keeps it. We depart the cave. We take a short rest in the woods under cover. Although we detected the dragon flying around (and it seemed angry) (we assess that he learned all his pirate were dead or gone). After a short rest we move back in. We enter the dragon's cave. He taunts us by showing us the sapphire. "Oh, you want this?" Greenwich attempts to negotiate (being dragonborn). It didn't work, but it bought us maybe a round to spread a little. Nonetheless Combat 2; and almost all of us get hit with a breath attack. Eventuatlly, Sable Wing takes flight. We noticed where he flipped the sapphire. Meinfoo who had been in melee with Sable Wing from the start of combat, managed to collect the sapphire. He gestured to Tandur. Tandur said, it's time for us to depart. Most of us focused on getting out of the cave, while Greenwich distracted the dragon by attacking him. We managed to get away, all of use alive (except for Dr. Hoo). We return to the town. We are showered in gifts. The dragon, having lost his followers, decides to depart. End of session.

Session Notes 2025-08-01 DDHC-DD-7 Party - We begin by helping save people in the burning tavern. We begin in the town of Respite. It's along the coast. They have a town weather vane. They believe the pirates, north along the coast, in Cobblehook Cove (aka the corsairs) started the fire in the tavern (in addition to / as a distraction to enable) the stealing of the sapphires from out of the eye sockets of the weather vane. Those sapphires power the magic weather vane to keep Respite safe from the nearby elemental plane of air. We ask questions and gather more facts from those we saved. A local townsperson, Vottree is concerned for her son, Pierre. He had a yearning for adventure. She fears he may have gotten mixed up with the pirates. Can we save him? Gives description. Mayor Gail (f) orc - Black Dragon = Acid. Adult 2 hours north. Harlow. Faerie deer. Combat 1 After combat Aura of Vitality. This restores, over the course of 1 minute, 20d6 HP. I did this very efficiently in-game. Since I wrote out my rolls, I can now see I rolled 56, compared to the midpoint of the bell curve, of 70. Not so great! Still 56 HP for a 3rd Level Spell Slot is pretty good (compared to other heals). 1 pirate captive, David. Chapter is not complete. Will complete next week. |

Magic Item(s) Bluesteel (Unbreakable Cast-Off Plate Armor) Story Award(s) The Friends We Made Along The Way Consumable(s) Elemental Gem (Blue Sapphire)* *TREASURE HUNT AWARD GUIDELINES Gold ...as well as 10 Downtime Days + a level, if you choose to take it. Hoard Item Option 1: ZEE’S CONTROL Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever. A staff marked with the crest of eccentric wandmaker Zee, whose last words were famously, “Wait, stop, undo, UNDO!” Temperate. You are unharmed by temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Hoard Item Option 2: INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY) You can take a Magic action to unfold a Portable Hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon the Portable Hole creates an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within the hole exists on a different plane of existence, so it can’t be used to create open passages. Any creature inside an open Portable Hole can exit the hole by climbing out of it. You can take a Magic action to close a Portable Hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing. If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s extradimensional space can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check. On a successful check, the creature forces its way out and appears within 5 feet of the Portable Hole. A closed Portable Hole holds enough air for 1 hour of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside. Placing a Portable Hole inside an extradimensional space created by a Bag of Holding, Heward’s Handy Haversack, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate and not behind Total Cover is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened. When unfolded, the cloth expands like a pool of glossy ink. Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Monstrosity) Hoard Item Option 3: MY BEARDY FACE (SONGCRAFT BELT OF DWARVENKIND) A jaunty line from an old dwarven song is belted out whenever the wearer is struck: “You ain’t never had a beard like me!” Songcraft. Whenever this item is struck or is used to strike a foe, you hear a fragment of an ancient song. MY CHOICE - INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY) I will choose this one. While, Tandur has no need, it could be useful on Salator, since I did not min/max his abilities and features for damage. He's more general purpose, indeed, like a bard, and a general item like this could be used creatively in interesting ways. The Friends We Made Along The Way You prioritized the people of Nethentir in their time of need, and your kindness will be remembered. As word spreads, you gain one automatic success on a D20 test of your choosing in a FR-DC-THAY adventure. This applies to any attack roll, saving throw or check, and may be declared before or after the consequence of a roll is known. (It does not grant a Critical Hit.) When this singular success has been claimed, remove this Story Award from your character. ELEMENTAL GEM (RED CORUNDUM) Wondrous Item, uncommon ELEMENTAL GEM (YELLOW DIAMOND) ELEMENTAL GEM (BLUE SAPPHIRE) |

He wants to offer us a contract. He gives us the history of a town called Oztocan. Recently, the town started mining a new mineral. It's where he's from. He cares about it. But he removed an item from the town. Then bad things happened. He shows us the obsidian shard. It's a couple feet long. He wants us to return it. This requires 2 things - Bad things have been happening. It's not the risk to keep it. It's not worth the risk for him to travel with it. He doesn't want to risk danger to himself, his family or his favorite town. He knows that an employee of his vanished. He didn't give us (the module didn't reveal) a name. He knows about a new shadow organization: Onyx Scar. More history. Leandro - Relago - I was super tired. And the DM wasn't perfectly clear. I pulled this from DDB. Leandro Sedhar Asking for Leandro around town leads the characters to the Giant’s Skull, a welcoming inn made of wood and adobe. Leandro has been staying here for the past few weeks. Leandro (chaotic good noble) is a tabaxi—a Humanoid with feline features, including claws and a tail. He’s short and stout, with lush, sand-colored fur and thin whiskers. Tiny square glasses frame his amber eyes. He was born in a distant land but has been traveling abroad for nearly twenty years. He arrived in Oztocan a few months ago and is working on a play inspired by the town’s local legends. As a playwright, he often draws inspiration from history. Leandro welcomes the characters and takes an interest in the shard of Xeluan if they show it to him. He asks to see it more closely but refuses to touch it. In the course of a conversation, Leandro shares the following information with the characters: Earthquakes. “Oztocan hasn’t felt earthquakes in years, but quakes have become common in recent weeks. No damage has been done yet, but the quakes are getting worse. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.” Rilago. “Years ago, an elf archivist named Rilago claimed to have proof of a giant’s tomb beneath Oztocan. Rilago tried to mount a full-scale excavation, but the mayor wouldn’t allow it. Rilago stayed in Oztocan until his disappearance a few weeks ago—around the time the earthquakes began.” Tavio. “I recently spoke to the Tavio Solana, the mayor. He grew uncomfortable when I mentioned Rilago. It was Tavio’s father, the previous mayor, who refused to allow the excavation of Xeluan’s tomb. I don’t believe Tavio had anything to do with Rilago’s disappearance, but I can’t help but think Tavio knows something about it.” Aminta. “Tavio’s sister, Aminta, commands the town guard. Rumor has it she was involved with Rilago romantically.” Our rogue pulls a playing card off his fancy hat. The object is imbued with magic. Rumor: a man was carrying this object. He was accosted by bandits. There was a green glow. When he awoke. The bandits were gone, as though they vanished. He was still there, tied up. And the object was there, too. The nature of the magic imbued in the object is wild, wild & ancient. Our contract. We will gain full set of eleven chain in return for completion. He offers us the use of his magical carriage. It is powered by magic but does have a driver. We depart. It's about a day's travel. It's nighttime. Arrived: Oztocan. Vigilant Blessing: Lex [ ] spent 12 gold buying information from city guard. Distracted/sleepy. The rest of the players discovered... Distracted/ We agreed to become actors in Leandro's play. I was assigned baboon. We assemble below the theater. Rilago - there is a buried giant tomb. It has buried treasure. Rilago discovered cave drawings. He made it into a map. Leandro copied the map. We copy that. Rilago was good friends (maybe more) with Aminta. The gang, Onyx Scar, joined the city guard. Tavio was aware (of something unethical) and was covering for Aminta. There are 4 suggested ways in: We decided to attempt the main entrance. From the theater costumes Leandro owns, we can make reasonable disguises. DM: make Deception (how good is your costume) or Perception (how well you can find good costume items). Good roll: Percep 22 We travel to main entrance. We are escorted. Statue room. Statue is missing the heart. Scaffolding. Those who took a photo of the map with their phones agree on a direction. They choose the direction where there is a room called: Heroes' Rest. And we walk. Burial chamber. Ghostly male. Ghost of Rilago. They "broke the giant's heart." I sought answers. Found nothing. Nobody would help. Tried both Tavio & Aminta. Ancient adventurers (don't recall significance). Asked about Onyx Scar and caster. We conclude caster may be an innocent hire. Was not part of the original Onyx Scar, at any rate. Enter crypt. Amina instructed city guard to become/join Onyx Scar. The true 2nd shift arrives. We hear voices and suddenly running people wearing gear. We prepare for combat. Combat 1 Init 7 Rewards Full suit Elven Chain Octocanite crystal x2 each A fist-sized chunk of oztocanite can be used as a spellcasting focus that grants a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls. However, if its wielder rolls a 1 on a spell attack roll while using it as a focus, the chunk shatters and the creature takes 10 (3d6) thunder damage. |
