Months after the conclusion of Out of the Abyssand year three of the Adventurer's League, a group of adventurers has found themselves in a new city on the shores of the Moonsea. The city of Kephis rises above the shore, next to the sinkhole remains of Sulasspryn. This is a city of refugees from around Moonsea, the people displaced by war and the forces of Chaos. They have been brought together for mutual protection and to start a new life. But what have they accepted in place of the flawed politics of their homelands that lead to the chaotic destruction of what they had known?
Friday, October 7, 2022, the adventure will enter its fourth chapter (streamed adventure). The show starts at 7:00 pm EST. If you are interested, please stop by https://www.twitch.tv/rolehitdie.
After having completed a few missions for the city's leadership, our team was asked to investigate a structure spotted on the outskirts of Thar. They encountered a group of Orcs, which the team began dispatching. The disaffected Orc leader stopped the bloody massacre, saying that he no longer wanted to see his people die for Larga Bloodhand, an Orog who was trying to unite the Orc tribes of Thar. After minimal negotiations, the Orc lead his people away from the ruined structure, saying, "you can have this place with all of its monsters and that blasted dragon."
The team discovered this ruin was once an outpost for the cult of Ibrandul, the Skulking God, the Lurker in Darkness. They found a place of worship and a ceremony room where something went wrong. Ezzy, the autognome, then spotted a concealed door that lead into a protected library. There they found two parts of a ritual dealing with the creation of a dragon from Fire Lizard eggs, a dragon known as an Ibrandulin, or a Watcher in the Darkness. They found a few other tomes, including the Canticles of Ibrandul and the Foundations of Magic.
The team proceeded past a hastily constructed wall hidden behind old barrels and crates. Finding a natural passage that broke into a collapsed hallway, they decided to explore, only to uncover a nest of insects and giant centipedes.
The next adventure streams on Friday, October 14, 2022, at 7:00 pm EST.
Our team continues their investigation of an ancient structure on the outskirts of Thar. They have learned that the cult of Ibrandur once owned it and discovered a secret library with two parts of the spell which allowed the cult to transform fire lizard eggs into the Ibrandlin, the wingless dragon known as the Lurkers in Darkness.
The team cleared the caverns below the outpost and encountered an Ibrandlin protecting its eggs. In their exploration, they discovered vestments and holy symbols used by the Ibrandurlin, the clergy of Ibrandur. Using these, they could convince the Ibrandlin that they belonged there. In broken Draconic, the Ibrandlin explained that it protected this place as its mother had done before.
The team is now discussing turning this into a new home and outpost to guard Kephis from the Orc tribes of Thar.
Oh man. It’s me Ezziod Kliker, you can call me Ezzy. That dragon was reaaal scary till I over heard her talking to Sulax. I had a bright idea to use some holy symbols we found to pretend to be followers of some dead god. Now we have a new friend that will watch over use all the time. Of course I need to make more symbols for the rest of our group. What fun, I’m learning all sorts of new things since leaving Sigil. I even gave Sulax an experimental elixir that healed him but made him really stupid. Can’t wait to see what more fun we get to have.
The team appealed to the Kephis council about claiming the outpost as a first-line defense for the town. Magwina Nox, High Impreceptor of Bane, supported their plan. Charlete made a strong, rational argument that swayed the other two members. Vanessa Sinclair added a condition of autonomy for the team's administration of the outpost, which was not as well received. Ramiel, the High Illuminate of Amanautor, and Voice of the three leaders of Kephis stated they will review this arrangement in six months. It looks like the council somehow slipped a leash around the team.
The High Wizard has stated that they will handle the repairs on the Outpost. The team is concerned about what the High Wizard may ask for in return, but it seems that this is repayment for the books the team gave to the Tower and in support of Vanessa, who has become the High Wizard's apprentice.
But it seems that for the next six months at least, the team will be the administrators of the Outpost.
The next game is October 28, 2022 at https://www.twitch.tv/rolehitdie. We try to start around 7:00 pm EST, but occasionally, there are technical difficulties due to dogs. :)
The team is making the outpost their home while maintaining relations with Kephis, the city of refugees.
While helping the escaped slaves they rescued last week, they will begin their first foray into the lands surrounding the Outpost. During a scouting mission, Ezzoid found a series of caves in a valley inhabited by orcs. Now they want to make contact with the Orcs.
Charlete's Web, as our adventurer's band is known, investigated the caves Ezzoid spotted during a patrol mission. Following Vanessa's advice, they approached the Orcs opening with their banner high, showing their strength. They also brought gifts, making it more likely that the leader would speak with them. Sharamph, the Orc leader, met them to hear their offer. Charlete's web wanted an alliance with the Orcs. Sharamph heard them out, then gave them a task. Humans had come into the area and brought manticores to protect the cave they had entered, which the Orcs avoided. She wanted the adventurers to demonstrate their power by killing the manticores who had become a nuisance.
The manticores were more challenging than expected, and during the attack, the team was attacked by Gnolls who inhabited another set of caves. The Orcs advanced on the Gnoll positions when the adventures killed the manticores. It was evident that Sharamph wanted to exterminate the Gnolls from what she claimed as her territory. The adventurers had other problems as Vanessa approached the cave the humans claimed to speak with them. A critical Eldritch Blast to the face took her by surprise as hordes of undead began to form up to protect the humans.
Join us next time to witness what happens as the party tackle threat in an unknown cave.
“That was a bad thing. Seeing Van take that shot to the face made me angry. I need to work on better ways to protect my humanoids. Looks like more work in the shop. Also looks like I need to fix my eyes so I can see better in dark places. Can’t have my fleshy companions damaged too much. I have ground quite attached. “ Ezoid Kliker
The team entered the taboo cave, having heard the ominous warning that no one who entered had returned. But they were determined to find the source of the wild magic. The cave was encased in fog that twisted around their perceptions, causing members to get lost from the party. Vanessa was attacked by a skeletal swarm when she entered one of the broader areas of the cave. They encountered a mummified minotaur, and after they defeated it, they found a cache with three chests. The most exciting item was a beautiful, magical tiara with a potent curse. In one of the chests, a hope chest, to be precise, the team found two diaries and two sets of love letters. It detailed a love that brutally ended at the wedding ceremony. Will the team seek out the families mentioned in the diaries? Sulax, our Dragonborn paladin, is leaning in that direction.
They also met the remains of a kobold tribe that worship Bahamut. Their leader, a platinum-scaled Kobold, said that they had found a sacred site in the mountains, but they are unwilling to divulge more information. Sulax invited these kobolds back to Dragon's Rest, the outpost the team currently holds.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the U.S. and U.S. citizens abroad.
Join us at https://www.twitch.tv/rolehitdie tonight, November 25, 2022, to see what our team will do with all the web of plot threads they have uncovered. What will Ezzoid discover as he looks through the book of alchemical and herbal recipes? And what might he discover from the Kobold Alchemist they met at the caves? Will Sulax learn more about the mysterious Platinumborne Kobold or the Kobold of Many Colors? Or will he discover hidden secrets in the Platinum Dragon Idol the Kobolds protect? Will Charlene continue to reach out to Nightsinger, searching for her favor? Or will she concentrate on creating a song that echoes the tragedy of Vasilescu & Violeta's love? And what of Vanessa? Will she continue to build her army, or will her mentor have another job for her?
"Well we are out of Kephis and hopefully they'll leave our new home be for now but we just found some kobolds that got split from their tribe and the medusa that we opened our home to. If anyone thinks about attacking our home I'm going to protect our new friends and family. Surely no one would do such a crazy thing. Such a lovely home and place of worship for Bahamut" Sulax Pyroxtallinost
The team enjoyed some time off and then the festival of the Longest Light, the midsummer festival in honor of Amaunator/Lathander. Afterward, they returned to the caves to deal with an undead they had detected. They had hoped the spirit might be related to the diaries they discovered, but it was a Deathlock Wraith, the remains of a cultist of Moloch. After dealing with the wraith, they made their way across Thar to Hulburg. While they avoided Orc patrols, they were attacked by a Bullette that caused them great concern.
In Hulburg, they seek a way to speak with the Hulmaster family about the relics they discovered.
Our next game is on Friday, December 2, 2022, starting around 7:00 pm. You can watch the game at https://www.twitch.tv/rolehitdie.
Tonight our intrepid band seeks an audience with Natalia Hulmaster, leader of Hulburg. They want to return what they believe are family items to the Hulmasters. What type of reception will they receive?
"Lets talk with the Hulmasters and see if they'll enjoy the family heirlooms we are bringing to them or if they're not appreciative I am not responsible for my teammates actions." Sulax Pyroxtallinost
Our team finally met Natali Hulmaster, but only after they helped the town with a few problems. They first disrupted a gang believed to be part of the Zhentarim but found out that they were working for the Warlock Knights of Vasa, a group recently kicked out of Hulburg. As they were speaking with Garen Hulmaster, the military commander, children came into the garrison saying that one of their friends, Arne, was in a cave where something roared.
Our team agreed to check out this problem and find Arne. One area of the cave they explored seemed to drain the life out of people, then they found a pit. The child, Arne, was on a rocky shelf at the back of the pit. Most of the team climbed into the pit while Vannessa used Spider Climb to cross the ceiling. Unknown to them, a blue dragon was hiding in the darkness of a corridor. The team was hard pressed, and a few nearly fell to the Dragon, but in the end, Sulax was able to best the beast, who yielded to Sulax's strength. Sulax accepted the surrender of the young Dragon.
Currently, the team is staying in Griffonwatch Keep as guests of Natali Hulmaster. The Huntmaster family is very interested in the diaries and letters bought by the team. They will negotiate after the Hulmaster's scholars have had an opportunity to review the texts. But the team did discover that the materials they brought preceded the Hulmasters presence in Moonsea and did not start until the 900's DR.
Our next game is Friday, December 9, 2022. The start time is close to 7:00. You can watch the stream at https://www.twitch.tv/rolehitdie.
What will our team discover from the Hulmasters? Will it give them new insights into the cache they found in Thar? And what of the Elektron Key? Will Sulax trust Vanessa enough to allow her to use it? And now there is a growing distrust between Charlete and Sulax. Will our team find a way to bridge the divide between them or will they sit back and watch chaos reign over the northern Moonsea?

"Oh my the tension can be cut with a torch. Working in my shop is sooo much quieter.( small explosion sound). I may have my job cut out for me as far as keeping these folks alive. well guess that means more research for me and more crafting. Wonder what will happen to this group next? What kind of chaos will they put me in?"....Ezzoid Kliker
