Following our instincts we push through a door that has 'STAY OUT' scrawled in the moss covering it, only to be surprised by a blue slime monster surfacing in a pool of rancid water. Who knew? Our warlock gets attacked and hit by the monster, which provokes an incredulous response from the spellcaster. 'My turn. […]
It is gloomy in the Keep on Shadowfel and with a gate to hell being opened somewhere inside it is also not a place one wants to be stumbling around in the dark. 'What can we use for light in here?', asks Adran, our ranger. 'We can break out our sunrods, as they provide a […]
After what seems like the longest overnight stay in an inn in history we arise and head back to the Keep on Shadowfel to investigate the goblin threat within, prevent the opening of a gate to hell and, perhaps most importantly, to map the keep for a curious intellectual. We get paid for the mapping, […]
We were attacked by eighteen zombies! 'A-Team zombies?' Yes. They were shut inside a crypt with only discarded spears, broken scythes and mismatched bones with which they created a working arbalest, but it was okay. We took quite a pounding, thrown all over the place by the arbalest, but got up only feeling a bit […]
Investigating the old keep has turned up pit traps, goblins and hobgoblins, and rats and devil hounds. The few hours we have so far spent working through enemy-infested rooms have taken their toll on the party, with our Warlord's healing surges fully depleted and others running out quickly. It is time to rest. Rather than […]
We interrupt some goblins who are digging for treasure, an application of their time we later find out to be like most nine-to-five jobs as it is a task given by their boss merely to keep them occupied. We manage to find this out after neither finding no treasure in the room nor any sign […]
Our goblin guide we rescued, his corpse being dragged along behind us, whispers to the warlock that a door ahead supposedly leads to a treasure room. We must investigate! The battle map we use is wiped clean of the previous combat zone and the party waits expectantly in limbo. Under his breath, whilst reading the […]
We encounter an imprisoned goblin in our exploration of the keep, telling us he fell foul of the boss goblin's favour, which prompts a lengthy discussion on whether we should release him and let him accompany us. If he really is friendly after we release him then he can guide us through the keep and […]
Our recent excursion to dispose of a kobold threat, along with some research by the prescient chap we met earlier, has led to the belief that our visit to the Old Keep will be more trouble than a simple cartography mission. Not only is the rumour of goblins true but now we understand that there […]
Bravely inching our way through a waterfall in to what we believe is a den of kobolds, after fighting a bunch of kobolds outside the waterfall, no one is terribly surprised when kobolds and adventurers end up standing face-to-face. Moving swiftly in to action, the ranger adopts the Arnold Rimmer approach to combat by attempting […]
