Session 17 Summary

We opened the session with a little gentle persuasion of an NPC assassin.  After carving a message in him and releasing him, it was shopping time, followed by spell learning.

The group moved on to the northern end of the lake, seeing local poor native villages.  After a day spent hunting the treasure (successfully) and some boasting after killing the beast of the lake's baby, the group celebrate with a party in the village, after which Ron was introduced to the concept of a golden shower.

The next day, the group moved on and were ambushed by a small group of natives.

Session 16 Summary

After killing the ape bears, the party waits around heroi9cly to collect their reward, a magic shrunken monkey's head. They then set off to find the ape-bears' lair.  They find it, and no loot.

They proceed along their journey, tackling some dangerous earwigs and vultures, march on for a couple more days and come to a tree festooned with hanging bodies and a bunch of undead.

The group advance on to Kalabuto where they find Cheiton in the Shrunken Head tavarn and retire to his house.  Assassins strike in the night, and the questioning is underway as things are left off.

Session 15 Summary

The action resumes at the crusher, a horrible looking machine.

The blue warrior and a female undead are dispatched, ending the undead threat in the salt mine.  Maybe.

The giant blue globe is smashed (actually ending the threat).

A locket is retrieved from the blue warrior and returned to the savage woman, who agrees to scout for the group.

The party attends a cock fight, where a fight breaks out after the party is accused, accurately, of cheating in the fight.  The party take what they feel they are owed after betting on the match they rigged and leave the camp.

They stumble across a village suffering from an ape bear problem, and hang around to help out with the issue, killing two ape bears.

Session 14 Summary

The party agree to act as trailblazers for the main government - sponsored expedition to Saventh-Yhi.  The main expedition is to be led by general Rotilius Havelar, a man who fullfills all of the negative stereotypes of the British colonialist.

They are given the route to take, and a contact in Kalabuto to stay with in order to attempt to hide their presence from the other factions.

They wait a few days for what had been stored in the warehouse to be replaced and head off, led by Nkechi, the cleric of Gozreh.

After a couple of days (about 5) the group arrive at an old salt mine where a savage human woman with a bit of a fixation on dinosaur hunting convinces them to find evidence of what happened to her parents after the undead started coming up out of the mine.

The group manage to maneuver the abandoned mining camp at the entrance well enough, and find that the mine itself is infested with salt wights, an undead that would be a  much more significant threat if it could actually hit the ACs of the party's warriors.

The session ends at the crusher, a huge rock crushing machine in the mine.

Session 9 Summary

late afternoon at the tide stones, and the party are attacked by a winged beastie which is quite tough, but as a single monster lacks the AC or darkness ability to be a true threat, and they loot its nest.

A long argument about climbing the mountain ensues, before Ron stomps off to find a poisonous snake to activate the tidal stone.  The group decide to rest and establish that the water stays down for about 6 hours.

In the morning the group lower the water again, using a fresh snake (the previous one having been thrown into the ocean) and consider alternatives like use magic device, or perhaps a monster summoning I spell to summon a poisonous snake.  And deafness.

The descend to the slippery rocks and kill a shark, and defeat a mighty water mephit and his spear urchin crewman on the wrecked ship.

Then it's in through the creepy looking doors, where a couple of lizardfolk skeletons atop a bridge across the first room in the complex.  The skeletons are defeated, the combat assisted by the skeletons jumping 40' to the floor below once they ran out of javelins.

Summary Session 8

The group wake up in the ghoul-making alcoves, infected with ghoul fever but manage to escape the caves of the mother.  They return to the cannibal village where the paladin can barely wait to consider alternatives before slaughtering the helpless, bound captive women.  Szriel starts to clean up the village, his motives becoming clearer when he dumps all human remains (including the jerky) into a hut and burns the house down.  His excuse - somewhere for the NPCs to move their camp to.

The group return to the dryad for a little minor restoration, stay three days and head off to collect the tengu and check on the NPCs before returning to the cave of the mother.  They come accross a series of minor traps similar to those face previously and a new type, one that would apparently be manned normally, but in the absence of living cannibals is effectively the same as all the others.

The NPCs are pretty much all OK, and Szriel becomes limerent for Sasha the ex-assassin when she lends him a kukri.

The party rest with the NPCs, and in the morning see lightning shooting up into the sky from the direction of Red Mountain, accompanied by rolling thunder.  The thunder repeats a few hours later, but the lightning doesn't.

The party then head back to the cannibal village around the coast, finding a semi-ruined hut containing a scrap of paper detailing the history of the cannibals along the way.  They return to the village and notice the witch's hut, which was somewhat concealed by jungle.  They loot and spend most of the rest  of the day continuing to clean the village.

They then sneak into the caves of the Mother where a long, slow fight with the ghoul in the dark occurs, and after a while the ghoul becomes bored and leaves the area.  The party is able to retrieve the weapons they woke without.

The group sleep in the lighthouse without incident and proceed to head around the coast towards Red Mountain.  They find another empty shipwreck and a giant crab which has the paladin's measure, until flanked by Szriel and Ron and smashed.  The group see a cluster of stone monoliths as the session ends.

Summary Session 7

The session opened with some resting, pearl diving and intimate communications between a scorpion and a monkey.  A day or two more including a visit to the dryad and it was time to face the camp of the cannibals.

The camp was almost abandoned, populated only by the late chief's drunken harem and a few skeletons, but the caves beneath the village were infested with lacedons.  The lighthouse was almost complete, butit was to the caves of hte mother the party wandered.  The possessions of the missing Aerys were also found, as well probably as some of the woman herself, jerked.

They encountered some festrogs, a couple of lacedons, found evidence of snakefolk carvings and instructions for the tide stone, as well as evidence that the captain of their ship had been turned into a lacedon and that the passenger Yarzoth is a serpentine monster who enslaved the captain.



Then the encounter with the mother, and everything went black, the fight dragged on and everything went blacker.
