Session LXVI: What You Can't See Will Kill You

A note from the Warlock
Still catching up on our session recaps.  Making progress, nearly done now.


Current Player Characters:
Edan (Atlantean)
Minimus (Cleric)
Su (Cleric)
Thenus (Ranger)
Wang Du (Monk)
and a variety of NPCs

With the Big'uy slain and the Gnolls packing up to leave, the party debated on how to get a hold  of the suspected Beholder's treasure hidden down a deep dark tunnel and guarded by some unseen horror as reported by a surviving mercenary Biggs.

After much debate it was decided to face this mysterious foe.

Sneaking down the narrow passage, the party entered into a small cavern at the opposite side of which lay a pile of treasure.  Carefully traversing the space they felt as if they were being watched.  Suddenly, Su was attacked by some invisible creature that dropped from the ceiling.  Even unseen, the foe was no match for the aggressive party that slayed the invisible spider.

With the treasure now theirs to divide amongst themselves, the party triumphantly returns to Fishersville as heroes.  Praise is showered upon them additionally because they shared their treasure with the town.

The next day they are asked to meet with Tyrius the magician who informs the party that if they are looking for additional work, and acquaintance in the town of Berkenstoke, one Veshir Boomish, is seeking some experienced and brave souls for a particular task. So the next day, the party heads out on a journey to the small river town.  One night along the way they are attacked by a werebear whom Edan slayed but not before he was bitten.  But that disease did not spread to it's victim as Minimus cured the Atlantean of any ill affect.

In Berkenstoke they seek out Veshir Boomish who offered them a handsome reward to seek out and retrieve his family's treasured battle shield which he believed to be part of the unguarded treasure hoard of Medora the slain dragon somewhere beneath the ruins of Xlarthan's Tower. A year prior, he asked Sir Fumark, the slayer of the dragon, and his men to retrieve it but they never returned.


 After a brief rest the party crosses the River Blackmoor and entered into the  Grimm Hills seeking the ruins of Xlarthan's tower. Soon the party is surrounded by a Neanderthal hunting party and are challenged to a one on one combat with their mightiest hunter with their loss meaning death for the adventurers. Edan takes up the challenge and a long fought battle begins with the Atlantean being victorious!

The Uk-Chuk tribe, thinking the party as fierce gods, took the party in and lead them to their caves.

  1. Hey there. Sorry to hijack your comments, but I can't find any other way to contact you. The links to your campaign journals appear to be dead, pointing at a domain that is no longer hosting content. Any chance you still have those lying around somewhere? Thanks!

    1. No problem, Dave, and sorry about that. Had a domain name expire where I host my files. The DNS should update shortly so you should soon be able to download those files again. Enjoy!
