Where Lightning Meets the Sea

The next morning was somber as the party awoke to the sight of an even worse looking Zenriel. She had gotten a full night’s sleep but was still feeling sick. It seemed the Dragon Ward was still doing its job and trying to make Zen leave. She felt nauseous and could barely lift her arms. Since Magnificent Mansion lasted for eight hours, Kaladrax brought it into existence and insisted that Zenriel stay within the confines to rest and hopefully get better away from the plane that held the Ward.  … More Where Lightning Meets the Sea

A Deal Gone Wrong

The Hand of Destiny followed Mirt around the city as he walked in a roundabout way. Often, he would double back to lose a potential tail but with Milo’s raven the party was able to keep up. There was a moment when even the raven lost track of Mirt in a large crowd, this left the bird to wander trying to find its quarry again while the party teleported back to the bar hoping to spot Mirt themselves as it was close to where he had disappeared. They had arrived and managed to eat something before the raven let them know that it had picked up Mirt’s trail once more.  … More A Deal Gone Wrong

D&D Slumps

There are a few types of slumps you can go through in playing Dungeons and Dragons or other ttrpg platforms for an extended period of time. My husband and I have hosted a steady table for three years now and after a huge 1-20 level campaign we were all feeling the slumps. It doesn’t mean you are losing love for the game or don’t want to play anymore but like any other game, sometimes you want to try out different things. … More D&D Slumps

Mystery Afoot

While the Hand of Destiny waited for news of Mirt’s movements from Milo’s raven familiar, they walked towards the Blackstaff Tower to see if they needed anything. When they arrived, a diminutive older gnome showed them to the Blackstaff’s office and asked them to wait. They didn’t wait for long as Vajra came walking through the doors within minutes to give them their next assignment.  … More Mystery Afoot

Meeting Mirt the Money Lender

Kaladrax woke up with a big grin after spending the night with Aleera but that joy soon faded when they left the safety of the magical mansion. Exiting through the hidden door in one of the closets, they came out to greet the day. It wasn’t until a short cry of anguish rang out that they ran into Kariss’s room and found her, frantic. She was lying in the white sheets of her bed, only now, they were tainted with bright splashes of blood. She flew out of the bed and cleaned herself up. … More Meeting Mirt the Money Lender

Follies of Flight

I’ve seen a few posts about why flight is such a contentious point between DM’s and Players. There are a few reasons ranging from visual spatial representation to game mechanics of flight. Some DM’s or GM’s will avoid flight all together as a means to make the game easier on everyone. Let’s face it, flight adds a third dimension to all aspects of the game. That would be more work added to the already full workload the DM takes on. … More Follies of Flight

Public Reprimand

The Hand of Destiny was kept under house arrest for the rest of the day until an investigator could come by to interrogate them. This would be the third time they were investigated since coming to the city. The tavern was closed down for the day and even the regulars went on to other taverns or homes. At least, for once, they were completely free of anything to do. They couldn’t leave or even go downstairs.  … More Public Reprimand

Death Curse

Yora Baleard held Milo in the unbreakable grasp of her shadowy chains. Her laughter began low and disbelieving only to evolve into a full on cackle at her good luck. She had managed to snag Milo without any one being the wiser and now she could enjoy his agony. Milo thought it was all over. She had him and, after what he had done to her and her guild, she would never let him survive it. That was why he was confused when she didn’t attack, instead she motioned towards the shadows of an alley nearby.  … More Death Curse

Putting Food on the Table

It’s called having a table for a reason. Technology and Covid have made it more common for people to meet online from all over the world to play Dungeons and Dragons, but at its core, it is a group based, in-person activity. Friends come together at a table and play a game that can take you anywhere. What better way to bring those friends closer together than to provide a great meal. … More Putting Food on the Table

Yora Baleard

Milo woke up the next morning after a good job was done and went downstairs for a delicious meal to start the day. The others were stirring and getting up themselves. They all made it downstairs to eat some good grub before the day began for them. It was at that moment, when the food had been brought and Milo was about to dig in, that a halfling woman walked in. She sat down at the table by the window and ordered some food for herself.  … More Yora Baleard
