Shell, mix Tents, vendors, a stage near the temple, all on a quay. This is: Humid, hot, balmy. I spend 10 silver for 2 more rations. Tidal waves engulf the market square while Nisha is dancing. 2 hostile turtles are deposited. We fight them to save the citizens, while attempting to protect Nisha. Next wave, 2 electric eels are deposited. Nisha decides to take shelter in the temple. Keyrie accompanies (carries?) her. A third wave, this time imbued with glowing red light.

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. Rewards - Mariner's Armor Ring of Evasion Oil of Sharpness 2x Potion of Heroism Potion of Healing (Greater) 1160 gold (each, 5800/5=1,160) Bead of Force - Lent - Used Potion of healing - Lent - Used Potion of healing - Lent - Used Potion of Healing (Greater) - used on ally.

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. |

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 2025-04-09 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 |

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. |

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 |

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 |

As each of us enters, we are greeted by Yola at the front desk. She knows we've been requested. She provides a place to gather, the bar. We are being asked to provide security for the Suhunka Trials (games [Olympics]) in Shugapoor (city). The job lasts for 12 days. Each will get 200 gp. We enter a separate room. A stone goliath sits in front of a bowl. We are asked to sit around the bowl, too. He is: The 3 great cities are involved in the games. Aravati temple (?) in Maravarey (?) Nisha (nickname) in Manivarsha is the target of our protection. The goliath begins a ritual around the bowl, recognizing the 4 gods and 4 cities. Shell, mix Tents, vendors, a stage near the temple, all on a quay. This is: Humid, hot, balmy. I spend 10 silver for 2 more rations. Tidal waves engulf the market square while Nisha is dancing. 2 hostile turtles are deposited. We fight them to save the citizens, while attempting to protect Nisha. Next wave, 2 electric eels are deposited. Nisha decides to take shelter in the temple. Keyrie accompanies (carries?) her. A third wave, this time imbued with glowing red light. Keyrie sees Nisha turn to water and vanish. Meanwhile the rest continue the battle. We prevail. We talk to Plabon. He said the red wave brought up emotions, jealousy. Session ends. |

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.

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 2025-04-09 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 |
