Re: Episode 28: The Book Devours

Within the inherent chaos of nature, Onarra has found a measure of peace that has eluded her in civilization. Communing with her less experienced, less damaged soul fragment has reminded her that harmony can still be found, and even internalized. She chooses to recall greater depths of Druidic teac...

Episode 28: The Book Devours

Inside of the Book, Quirinseyru advises the PCs that they should take a few moments to prepare themselves, as he is sure that there will be some assault soon. Valos' minions, the two dragonborn, Khrytos and Balrakas, along with the Soul Shards of the turned former PCs, Erk, Mordai, Balisar, and Nazi...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

Meanwhile, Bannock and the Soul Shards of Naziah, Balisar, Mordai, and Jareth (in human variation) passed through the portal and into the Donjon. They found themselves on a heavily forested plateau, near a log bridge spanning a wide river. Behind them they could just make out the clear or dark shape...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

After a comical, surprised, tense moment when Onarra and Quarion locked gazes with Khrytos and Balrakas in the next room, the elven duo fled to the 'east' toward Quirinseyru and The Heart of the Book of Infinite Souls. As a quick recap, Quarion, Onarra, and Brigga reunited. Brigga found a Staff of t...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

Meanwhile, inside of the Book of Infinite Souls, Quarion and Onarra continued to cautiously move through the otherworldly library, heading south, toward the sounds of battle, and toward the location where they heard Brigga shouting dwarven warcries. Before they had gone much farther, though, a beam ...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

Back on the Warlock's Tower, Bannock wracked his brain trying to remember anything about how to use the strange phenomenon above him to escape the top of the Tower. After several frustrating moments, Bannock was able to calm himself and focus on the whirling maelstrom of planar energy above him and ...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

Meanwhile, Onarra and Quarion found themselves in a familiar but ominous environment. Onarra immediately recognized her surroundings from her near death vision: the interior of the Book of Infinite Souls. I'll post the rules for your souls inside of the Book later this week so that we have them for ...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

Quick summary of what happened after that: (Almost) Everyone died. :lol: :lol: Seriously though, Erk darted forward and pierced Brigga's side with the foul blade, Reave, which drained Brigga's soul and several of her magical items and fed them to the Book of Infinite Souls. Shocked, the PCs renewed ...

Re: Star Wars: Squadrons

The trailers look cool but I want to see what the gameplay is like. Is it completely a spaceflight sim, like XWing? Or is it an 'on the rails' shooter like the Rogue Squadron games? If it's spaceflight sim, I'm all in. If it's an 'on the rails' shooter, that's a hard pass from me.

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

Combat interrupted: The magical darkness surrounding you fades away in an instant, revealing a gruesome sight. The Revenant, Bern Haupt, stands before his quarry, Hravja. Strangely, they aren’t moving, but then you register that Bern has pierced Hravja’s chest with the holy blade, JusticeSeeker. Bre...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

The PCs found their enemies waiting for them on top of the Warlock's Tower. The floor was scorched in places, but all of the walls and roof were completely gone, as were any furnishings. Instead, close above them, huge, beautiful ribbons of all colors moved lazily above them, providing soft, multihu...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

AFter jumping through the portal in the vampire's crypt, the PCs found themselves in a frigid landscape facing a tall, ice covered cliff. In short order, a group of abominable yetis attacked the interlopers, and while that battle was raging, a remorhaz showed up and munched a few yeti and tried to s...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

The PCs used the portal to return to Oerth, finding themselves at the top of the stairs to the next level of the Tower. This level was very warm, and featured several large braziers with impressively hot fires. The PCs also found the flameskulls they had encountered previously, all former henchmen o...

Re: Episode 27: The End of (Most) All Things

Last session, the PCs breached the lowest level of the tower. Finding it abandoned, everyone cautiously started up the tower stairs, only to run straight into an area where the fabric between worlds had thinned so much that everyone accidentally fell through reality into a the Astral plane! Finding ...
