Erseta Campaign 12

Erseta Campaign 12
Many (real-world) weeks of guise cooped up in Ritterheim, making glacial start towards retrieving the magic lantern that would reactivate the terrace to the ruins of the dwarven township of Glitterdark, got the squad even more than a undersized antsy. So, somewhat than move carefully towards prudence the lantern, they life-threatening to make up for in what spoils hadn't been yet traded in, compensated for an request spell to be (absolutely) cast upon the magic tooth they retrieved in the levitate of the savant, and set forth for an overland person in charge.

They invested in a fair map of the barony of Rittergeist, so they had a fairly good point of view of which way to travel. Ceiling of the person in charge was overland on reasonably good means of communication overpower settled farmland, so state from man travelers, merchants, farmers, and the conjure, organize was undersized of area as they through their way to Treven, the jumping off blackhead at home the forest that leads, at last, to Glitterdark.

They picked up the dreadfully forest roam that they had closer, but this time were reasonably inflexible for the wing of evil forest overpower which it led. At the preparatory become in the roam, they had turned acceptable the stickup time, fading up out of the forest properly and confronted by contra Vanarian bunk bed guards. This time they took the left become, which they on purpose would lead them on a even more show the way plot a course towards their high point.

They were preparatory confronted by a jam of huge wasps, and although no one was slain since the wasps were encouraged off, one of their number was brought to 0 hit points, paralyzed by contaminant, and diminutive escaped guise injected with offspring. One thing I'm noticing is that putting in tougher opponents works very well being the system for mental state checks are hand-me-down. Totally than rivalry to the death, while the wasps were resolved a odd cause and deficient of them were blinded by one of the illusionist's spells, they life-threatening they had had ample and fled. The party was inactive bloodied from the link, nevertheless, and healing from the clerics was dealt out.

Tragically, as they continued miserable the roam, the party began to be shadowed by huge black squirrels in the vegetation with evil red eyes. This truthfully frightened them, and they life-threatening to stuff on at home the night since camping, in suspense to lose the squirrels. Right to be heard midnight, nevertheless, they came upon a sound with a gnome on the other sheet. Kurbag, as he introduced himself, was collecting a pace so that he might get by without to surround a adequate ramp built supercilious the sound, under which he might remain. Although weakened from their link with the wasps and not prepare to chain a gnome in the predominant of the night, the party life-threatening that 50 g.p. was a lesser cost to pay to take in the line lacking unforeseen event. The squirrels seemed to surround lost area in them and they camped a ways whisper from Kurbag's journey.

The flash day they avoided a huge bodywork of some animal on the path that was overfull with huge ants (they happened to esteem the comportment to evade the ants that did not lead towards the ant's hiding place, by this means stylishly avoiding a potentially painful link). They subsequent to came with a leg on each side of a stone arch mum the path, well constructed but wholly ancient, that job a flexible inscription in dwarvish: "King Drogo of Glitterdark spin out the ogre supporter Nurakug the Nervous on this heart, and drank ale from his beginning." Sad that he had no ale to take a drop in mercy of the history king, the dwarven priest paused to demand down some of the vines obscuring the arch, and the party continued on.

The rest of the trip was apathetic. They absolutely emerged from the characteristic of forest with the evil aspect, and larger than the connote at the settle of Mt. Arak, ready to while another time momentary failure at home the planed dwarven township.
