Getting Over the River Canyon

Well the group finally got to the canyon containing a river about 2000 feet below the group. Looking across the 300 yards or so the group could see the central plateau. The party druid changed into a falcon and flew around the plateau and he could not find anyway across until he flew over the causeway to the south. The only problem was that the bridge over the river was broken and the gap was 150 feet across. The group managed to use the spells that the gnomes had for the day to get everyone across the causeway into the jungle. As the group headed inland, they were attacked by a very big demon and barely managed to kill it before it killed some of the party. If this is one of the guardians, the group could be in serious trouble before they even find the ruins.
More to come as we play the last few sessions for the season before we switch back to Birthright for the summer.

Nearing the Central Plateau

Well we spent this latest session with the group splitting up after one of the rangers decided to take a specialized prestige class called a Totemic Demon Slayer. He had to spend the session trying to track down an Olman Holy Woman who was the only one that could initiate him into the brotherhood of slayers. The fun part was when the ritual started he was offered a herbal drink that was highly hallucinogenic and he failed his saving throw and ended up passing out after seeing some very strange and bizarre visions. He woke up hours later to find his body now covered in Olman tribal tattoos as part of the ritual. Now he just has to learn the secret of unlocking them for him to advance further. Since they will soon be fighting more demons than they really want, I think it was a good idea for the class to be learned. Now they are only a days walk from the edge of the plateau with a nasty dungeon still to come. The sessions leading up to the end of the season are going to get interesting if not down right nasty.
Stay tuned for more from the Candle Dragon Inn.

Halfway through the Savage Tide

Well I finally managed to get the group through the end of Chapter Six and now get to prepare for the next Chapter but not before I managed to pound the Half-Ogre Barbarian into submission when I got the chance to jump him with a fairly tough demon when he was by himself in the tunnels. I shredded his enchanted armor and left him unconscious as the group accompanying him was in gaseous form and by the time they became solid he had managed to drive off the demon but not before he almost died from the poison that was in his system from the bites he received. I had to relent at the end or he would have been left as a puddle in the tunnel before he was healed.
They have returned to Farshore and next week I will start them on their next quest in the adventure. This time to explore the taboo central plateau of the Isle of Dread inhabited by a major demon and his followers. This could get interesting in the next few sessions until we finish in late April and switch to the Birthright game.
