The sight of "her" men's disobedience is shocking to Gertrude, and a certain indication they are under some sort of enchantment. She will look for any unenchanted folk to help, then take a few steps toward Melchior. If she feels no enchanting effects she will attempt to drag him away from ...

Balthazar and the other guards approach the edge of the brambles and raise their blades--unnecessarily, as it turns out. When they are within arm's reach of the mass of vegetation, suddenly bright green leaves begin to grow and unfurl all along the dry, cracked, thorny vines, glistening as with a m...

"If that is your request, I shall bind you and take you to the covenant now, Arduin" she laughs, attempting to bring some levity to the situation. "But yes, I understand. If you act more strangely, we shall endeavor to do as you ask to bring you back to your usual self." Her exp...

"We think he fell into a chasm and died at the bottom. We found remains that we think were a wizard that's clothing fits his description anyway." You've never seen a ponderous toad, but you're pretty sure Varooth is wearing that expression now. "That explainth much" he replies. ...

Date: August 22 Time (approx): 11:25pm Conditions: Dark, clear 59F/15C After some indecision, Samuel continues towards the village, and others follow, gleaning what they can from their surroundings. Smoke wafts into the pleasant but cool summer air from many of the chimneys they can see. The road o...

Gertrude watches as an interested observer as Arduin organizes the men to gain access to the cottage. She has her bow ready in case anything untoward happens...she hopes not as she's not fired at anything other than a target. "Careful with the sap from those vines, now, men" she warns. She...

Was a relatively quiet holiday weekend on these boards, then I continued my tradition of getting sick over a holiday weekend! Was in bed the last two days but am functional now. Updates coming tomorrow/Saturday.

"Now to answer your question Gertrude, destroying the mask may or may not banish the infestation," said Arduin. "It's hard to say. If the mask was the conduit, its destruction may prevent future manifestations of Mabon's fey." "Interesting. I suppose nothing with the fey is...

I will remove this once resolved, but putting this here to avoid cluttering up the main thread. It's not my role to decide how treasure is split, and up to the party members if they want to go through their sheets and add items found throughout the journey. I will keep this updated until agreement i...

The forgotten urchin looks up with a dust covered face after almost being crushed by falling rocks. "My name is Ollyver!" Maybe he will be easier to remember now. :lol: He reaches for the last torch but stops when he sees everyone else leaving the room. "So, we aren't going to free t...

Xerxes and Zygmund clamber to the top of the rubble pile and debate the merits of freeing "Toadlips." As they look around, they find themselves in Odlo's ample side yard. The rumbling of the cave-in has caused a stir within the neighboring area, and they hear the shouts of hobbits living n...

Date: August 22 Time (approx): 11:15pm For those that took items, please ensure you update your character sheets... The party feels ill at ease staying put, and decides to proceed south along the road into terra incognita. GM rolls dice The party is thankful for their light sources, but they can't ...

Thanks Dave!

Gertrude dabbles not in the occult.

Hi Dave,

Is there a way I can get a "Completed adventures" folder/subforum where I can place threads containing completed adventures? Will help to keep my main page clean.

Thanks!

Based on past experience, trying to sort through splitting treasure within this thread can be difficult. I propose starting a treasure splitting thread where this can be done separately. Also, please let me know if any of your PCs will climb up and out before defrosting the toad-headed fellow. I wi...

"I have no experience in these matters, so this question may be naive. But if this mask is the source of our issues, would we not just destroy it?" Gertrude looks to Arduin for his perspective, and Simon to see how he reacts to suggesting destruction of his property.

Bilberta asks the toad “Before we would consider letting you free, I think it’s fair that you tell us what this supposed gift is” . She hopes that the chalk will provide an answer The eyes of the ice-bound captive lock in on Bilberta as the chalk levitates then again scrawls on the floor in respons...
