It's all happening in our Dungeons and Dragons game at the moment. All. Happening. The previous two posts gave alternate accounts of how we first found and then lost the Left Eye of Varrien (after two and a half years of searching!). The first account was from Zillah (my ranger) and then Calwyn (mage), both … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: What was lost is now found
Today Calwyn, rat-fearing magic-user and master strategist, is my guest-blogger extraordinaire. Calwyn is the only living character of our original D&D party (not counting the first group of dunces who got themselves killed all together in our second session), and as such holds all the memories of past adventures and accumulated clues about the Eye … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: The (left) Eye of Varrien
ZILLAH After our encounter with the wraith last evening, we are solemn and wary as we break camp in the dim shadows of dawn. We know what we are about do is dangerous, but all signs indicate the Eye of Varrien (or one of them, at least) lies within the barrow yonder... and to retrieve … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: In the depths of the barrow is a wurm and an Eye
ZILLAH The punt carries us downriver, out of reach of the arrows. The old woman -- Yag is her name -- instructs Ammonite on how to steer us to the northern bank. Those Testerris scum in Hyden's Ford have got their backs up... I think maybe Ammonite and Calwyn killed some of them, and we're … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Trek through snow to the Lake of Tears
ZILLAH I've never been this far south before. The place is called Hyden's Ford and is teeming with southerners and their priests. A southerner has set himself up as a 'lord', claimed land that should belong to no-one but the wind and rain, and keeps an armed force to do his bidding. Added to this, … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: in which we are run out of town
ZILLAH I fought a bear, once. That’s how my nose broke and I got the scar. I was only 16, still an apprentice, when my master and I got too close to her cubs. Our fault completely. The mother charged and disembowelled my master before I even knew what was happening. She turned to me, … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Zillah takes the unknown path (and has a good day)
The title of this post might give it away... Yep, another of my Dungeons and Dragons characters has bitten the dust. In fact, three of our party didn't make it through our mega D&D sleepover this past weekend. We're churning through the lower level characters at the moment and it's getting tedious. Meanwhile our level … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Zillah arrives and explores a citadel
KAE I have made a grave mistake. We came north with such high hopes, Effu and I. We two together were going to conquer the world and make a fortune doing it. "Opportunities abound in the north," someone said. Who said it? I cannot remember. It doesn't matter. They lied. All I have encountered in the … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: More death and some vengeance
So. Life after Ash. It's time to meet my new D&D character, Kae. (For those who weren't paying attention, Ash was killed dead a couple of weeks ago. Read the miserable account here.) Kae is also a female ranger with ties to the church of Emrys (god of the forest). She's young (21) and has … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Slaying in the rain
Ash was a plainswoman, hailing from a remote village in the north. She trained as a ranger and loved the outdoors, but her life was calm and ordinary until a clan of goblins attacked her village and stole a sacred artifact. This caused her and her friend Alix to journey into the mountains in pursuit, … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Vale Ash
