Session 2 - Sun, Jan 14

With Derp tied to a beam in the stable, the Goblin Slayers decided to double back and check the towers that dotted the perimeter wall.  They found another goblin or two, solidifying their name.  They also cleared out the Trading Post of a goblin and various supplies and sundries.

A crypt in the graveyard drew their attention for about an hour.   A heavy stone door resisted their attempts to enter, but a crowbar, borrowed from the Trading Post, provided the needed leverage and they entered the crypt.  A wooden coffin rested on a stone bier.  It held the skeletal remains of a man beneath a tattered burial shroud.  They later found out that this is likely Lord Nandar, the villages founder who died about a year ago.

Suffice it to say, our heroes defeated all the goblins they faced and cleared out many of the remaining building in the village.  They crossed over the demolished bridge to the Keep and found 3 human guards who were guarding the remains of the Lady Nandar who died when the roof of the great hall collapsed.  They also learned

  • The villagers likely fled north to hide in some bat caves
  • Some village guards are with them
  • Four pale-skinned giants decended from the cloud castle, pried up the Nightstone and took their prize back to their lair in the sky

Our heroes agreed to go to the cave to bring back the villagers.

Will our heroes find the caves?  Will they bring back villagers or bodies?  Will Derp fulfil his lifelong dream to be a drummer in heavy metal power trio?
Stay tuned to this channel to find out.

In Praise of the 10' Pole - July 22, 2018

The crew picked the cloud giant Duchess Sansuri who lives in a cloud castle called Lyn Armaal.  They were woken by the sound of stone grinding on stone followed by a loud stone crash.  When everyone went to the doors they were met by a gargantuan ancient blue dragon.  Harshnag told everyone to run while he ran toward the great beast, sword drawn.  Harshnag and the dragon were exchanging blows but Harshnag had no defense against the lightening breath weapon and he fell with smoke rising from his chest.  As the five humanoids, our heroes, were running for the north guard room, Ronan and Skithryx saw the blue dragon grab the trident from the storm giant statue, magically polymorph into a storm giant and touched the trident to the glyph on the portal arch for storm giants.  The portal activated and the giant or dragon stepped through.  The Tick and Ronan rushed to his side and gave him a healing potion and some magical healing. Maggie raced into the north guardroom, jumped up and pushe

Morning, 25th of Ches, 1492 DR Zephros explained the shattering of the Ordning , the hierarchy of giant-kind and that King Hekaton is missing. Zephros could well be a powerful magic user as Skithrix heard Zephros casting high-level spells related to communicating with other planes. Late Morning, 27 of Ches, 1492 DR Day 3 brought visitors to the cloud giants tower; 9 giant vultures carrying cultists landed at the base of the tower in front of the main door They demanded to speak with the master of the tower.  The intimidating Skithrix did not deter them for long, however, as they returned later that day and refused to leave, storming past Skithrix to enter the tower.  A battle ensued.  Skithrix called down an impenetrable  blackness upon them, while Chamele, tiny of body but stout of heart, grappled the taller fanatic to the ground, keeping him quite helpless.  Needless to say, our motley crew prevailed against their foes.

The Voice of a Giant God - July 8th

Initial theories (Harshnag’s axe in the hands of the frost giant statue, etc) on how to activate the gateway did not work.  Everyone went into the south hall and found giant-sized tables and benches and a giant sized stone slab that seemed to be used for food preparation.  The air here was warm due to a seemingly perpetual fire burning in the middle of the room.  There was also a remoraz which immediately moved to attack.  Surprisingly, Harshnag was not as big a help as everyone may have hoped.  After the big bug was killed, they found a giant sized great axe leaning against the wall.  They immediately asked Harshnag, who agreed, to put the ax into the statue.  Nothing happened.  Maggie/Chamele suggested the glyphs were significant.  When the Frost giant great-axe was touched to the glyph for frost/snow the portal began to swirl with looked like thunder clouds.  They could make out a room beyond but no other details could be gleaned.  They all (not Harshnag) stepped through. They
