Today's featured article

Sevryn is a silver dragonborn chronurgy wizard, telepath, and the architect of the egg quest that has shaped the campaign from session 1 onward. He gathered the party’s first members at the Hollow Hall Tavern in Gloamhearth, delivered the draconic-hoard-absorbing Egg into their hands, and has periodically redirected the party by telepathic message and sealed letter ever since. He is the campaign’s prime mover, a foresight-haunted figure who has admitted in writing to dispatching at least one party member to a foreseen death “because the path you’re on only stays open if the wrong thing happens at the right time” (s10 L82).

In the news

Session 24 ended mid-fight inside the ridge temple. After Hugo and Father Thomas finished the sealed-door fight, the party took two black orbs, one with Kole’s lute and one with Terry’s blood, voted three to two to go on, and Terry toppled a knight statue. A knight of smoke dropped Terry and Father Thomas before the DM stopped the session. Pell has still not been found.
Asked by the DM whether he abandons Bahamut and accepts Vecna as his one true god, Caelumn’s player answered that Caelumn “is starting to see Vecna’s ways”, and the knight of smoke turned its gaze from him to his allies.
Rime told Father Thomas to hurry because “she’s completing the ritual”. A low chanting began as the last greatsword skeleton fell, and it was “nearing a peak” by the time the knight appeared.
A new character joined the party in manacles. Kole, by his player’s account a changeling warlock sent to help with the Egg, was freed from a cultist and her undead in an ambush that Hugo, waking late, ended with a thrown hand axe.
The DM told the party that the man who holds the Egg “is an Aurelian binder”, and that Arcanthys and Aurelia are in “kind of a Cold War, sort of”.

Did you know…

… that the hollow under the knight statue in the ridge temple held no black orb in session 24, only a pink unicorn plush on “a couple of gold coins”, and when Caelumn opened it he saw “a ginormous, endless void”?
… that Hugo slept through most of a fight in session 23, woke, rolled a natural 20 for initiative and ended it with one thrown hand axe on another natural 20?
… that the regenerating kobold of session 22 healed every wound it took until Caelumn set fire to a painting of it hidden under a floor tile, and all its injuries came back at once?
… that Father Thomas put a severed, still-twitching hand on a rope leash, named it Righty, and used it as a compass?
… that Terry lost a point of Charisma at Harvo’s funeral in session 9, and finally won it back in session 20 by humming Harvo’s melody on watch?
… that Cholmondeley Featherstonhaugh’s last words, delivered while spitting blood, were “I hate you all”?
… that Sevryn keeps steering new companions towards the party? A letter of his brought Harvo in session 2, another announced Ruin in session 10, and when Kole arrived in session 23, Terry guessed who had sent him before he could say.
… that the campaign’s central Egg turned green in session 3 after absorbing Death-at-Sunset’s hoard?
… that Seraphine, the ruler of Aurelia, is said to have destroyed five Archmages single-handed in the Arcanvian War?
… that Terry was turned into a chicken by a pixie during the session 19 night ambush?
… that Barney Amoran was retconned into existence in session 20, replacing a companion the party can now only half-remember?
… that the monsters in this campaign appear to over-perform their stat blocks by a margin sufficient to warrant empirical investigation?
