Campaign Wrap-up

With the death of Gnarly Blunderbrush and the slaying of Gorrokk the Fierce, a deadly red dragon, the wounded and weary party finally clawed their way back to the surface and sweet air of freedom.

Exiting the dragon's cave back into the thick forest within the Howling Hills, it took the rest of the day  to get some sense of where you were.  Figuring you were somewhere east of the ancient ruins and the entrance of the Hobgoblin king's domain, Televon and Wolf carried Gnarly's mutilated body back towards the town of Blackmoor and to the temple of Morpheus.  There the high priest of the dreamweaver raised the druid back from the dead (for a promise of 6,000 gold coins for the temple coffers and an additional 10 tithe from Televon).

Meanwhile Arg, Skwanky and Throkmorton went searching for their horses and cart left back at the ruins.  There they found their cart but their horses had been killed and eaten by three ogres.  These ogres were beat into submission (mostly by Arg, though Skwanky continues to take the credit for it) and were uses as beasts of burden to haul the dragon's hoard out of the cave.

After a number of laborious days hauling a wooden cart weighted down with coin through a gnarly forest and back onto a trail, the party with their enslaved ogres, worked their way back to Blackmoor.

After days of rest, the party informs Lord Blackmoor of the events in dealing with the Hobgoblin king.  With the Hobgoblins no longer being a threat to the lands of Blackmoor, the lord decides that he can aid you in retaking Caladan from the Stygian forces of Kushana.

But that is another tale.....

    Tonight's Background....

    Having been lost deep beneath the palace of the slain hobgoblin king, you have been exploring the twisting caves for a way back to the surface for days now.  Discovering a warm underground river, you had tried to work your way up the rapids but the current proved to be too rough, so you followed the river downstream.  The cave walls were dimly lit with an eerie purple fungus and, traveling down the river, you had passed a number of natural 'shelves' above the water.  These proved to be quite useful since being wet, wounded and lost proved to be too much for the psyche of Arg the mighty Half-orc, who went into a state of panic and crawled upon a shelf and refused to go on.  It was here that you decided to rest.  Gnarly sent Tuk the owl on ahead down the river and found another shelf with a cave opening guarded by a lizardman.

    You are now well rested and Arg seems to be back to his old self...

    Tonight's Background

    Still trapped in the caves beneath the Hobgoblin King's underground palace your party explores the tunnels looking for a way out.  Having entered a larger cavern with what appears to be a steam-vent in the back and a large Lava Lizard before it, you are attacked by a swarm of Steam Weavels!

    Map of explored areas.....

    Other Notes:

    Currently you are carrying about 1400 coins of the treasures that you have picked up along the way.  That would be 140 pounds of weight that would have to be distributed amongst the party.


    Get your d20's warmed up, you'll need them!

    New Rule: Ghouls

    Since we made some changes on how ghouls paralyze foes, I thought I'd balance that out a bit.

    Ghouls get 3 attacks per round, the infamous claw, claw, bite.

    Claw attacks do not cause paralysis, only bites do.  But also, bites have a 5% chance of passing a disease onto the player which will kill them in 1d4 days turning them into ghouls unless a cure disease spell is cast.
