#### Events
- At the Statue Garden, Sheila G has decided to ask for Damar's help
- After a rest, continued to final tower of Magrym
- Inside, more mole-faced creatures
- Gorp, their wizened old leader, at the top awaiting Sheila G
- Depression in top for bowl
- Large boar, running on air, approaches tower
- Soul of a dwarf from heaven
- Bobaum, from Torag. Sent to assist
- Shield for Sheila G
- Perform the ritual atop the tower
- Put bowl in depression, light some incense, and request assistance from Damar
- Small, portly cockroach man appears to assist
- Gives blessing:
- Regeneration 2, stopped by fire
- Sheila G and Harvey: Quickened Cure Moderate Wounds, once
- Gives us ~24 hours of being unaffected by the time differences. Bridge seemed unhappy with this.
- Move onward to end of bridge, which ends at an entrance to a mountain. Three bone statues, as we approach, explode into motion.
- Two figures are bi-pedal, about 7 feet tall, the remaining is about 9 feet tall, devilish in appearance with horns and bony wings, and glowing yellow eyeballs.
- After defeat, the bone portcullis morphed into a draw-bridge, leading into the mountain, and the demon enemy became a bone pillar with 3 bowls built into the side, each with a pictogram of a figure with a tail and in a cloak (which is Sheila G). A golden vertebra rises from the bone bridge at Sheila G's feet.
- One depicts the figure with a bone glowing above them
- The second depicts the figure glowing and floating above a tower
- The last depicts the figure moving across bridge from right to left
- Sheila G places a golden vertebra into the third bowl (figure moving across bridge). It morphs into a foot bone of sorts. She takes it with her.
- Leave Bridge of Spines, and enter a tunnel of stone. Take a right, and move onto polished dark stone with streaks of white. Open into a roughly half-circular room, pitch black. At the back, two carved hallways, and before each a large, bearded, armored figure.
- Sheila G calls out to them in common, though they do not understand. They respond in dwarven.
- Harvey converses in dwarven. They notify us we have arrived at the Rune Barrel, the realm of Magrym. They offer two paths: the right path, which will continue our pilgrimage to Magrym; or the left, which will permit us peaceful entrance to the Rune Barrel. We take the right-hand tunnel.
- Traveling, the tunnel grows perpetually wider, to stairs of marble, and a wide-open space. Continuing down the stairs, a carved archway, with light on the other side. Inside, a well-lit room, with massive amounts of books, tablets, and scrolls. Many side tables, and massive center table. Giant slabs between bookshelves, establishing the sacred laws handed down to the dwarves. A double-paneled set of doors at the end of the room is the exit.
- Beyond the doors, a large room shaped like a trapezoid. A platform with a bench, and plenty dead folks, face a stage with a large table and two benches. A small bench is to our right, a skeletal dwarf in fancy dwarves, two dwarves in more simple clothing, rhythmically smash the ground 4 times, and then calls out in dwarvish, "All rise!", approaching and handing Sheila G a prosthetic beard (ceremonial piece). He then hands Sheila G a hammer, after declaring she looks like a judge, and motions her towards the stage.
- Sheila G approaches the platform, and finds a sitting podium with a striking plate for the hammer. The fancy dead dwarf follows, and asks Sheila G which case to address first. He explains that this is part of the pilgrimage, and that Magrym has explicitly declared Sheila G be the judge. The previous room contains all necessary knowledge about three cases, as well as required information about law and such.
- The Three Cases to be Judged
- First case: murder case, Jim vs Kostchtchie
- A human boy, 17, beat his own father to death with a hammer.
- Heard by lower court, sent to the abyss because of patricide, which is unforgivable.
- Reason for appeal is that the boy was defending someone who may be hurt by father
- The Abyss is represented by Kostchtchie
- Sheila G rules in favor of Jim.
- Second case: Job vs Limbo vs Damar
- Job, a medical researcher or alchemist, in a clan-based government structure, stole treatments being developed by the government, to treat his lover, a national from a rival tribe.
- A minor detail, the lover had the disease. The implication otherwise was that Job stole the treatment in exchange for favors.
- Damar called for appeal
- Sheila G rules in favor of Limbo.
#### Locations
- Bridge of Spines
- Statue Garden
- Final Tower of Magrym
- End of the Bridge/Entrance to Magrym's Mountain
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Gorp, the leader of the mole people at the final tower
- Three Bone Statues
- Humanoid, 7ft tall, bi-pedal
- Humanoid, 7ft tall, bi-pedal
- Devilish, 9ft tall, horns, bony wings, and glowing yellow eyes
- Guardians of the Entrance to the Rune Barrel
#### Other Notes
- Strawgnaw vs Mephistopheles
- Summary: Strawgnaw, a refugee from a conquered dwarven world, was requisitioned by a community to smith tin buttons for them. The chieftan asked for a pin, and Strawgnaw obliged, and was welcomed into the tribe as a result. However, by making the pin, Strawgnaw did not make best use of the metal, therefore violating the law of the dwarves to only use metal appropriately. Magrym ruled that, because Strawgnaw was not a dwarf and not explicitly trained, that Strawgnaw should be forgiven and allowed into Magrym's realm, instead of sent to hell.
- Thus, leniency can be given to non-dwarf followers of Magrym in cases, and these followers are to be judged by better peers of theirs, instead of dwarf judges.

#### Events
- The final case to be heard!
- Third Case: Lord Vortman vs. Rune Barrow
- Vortman is a human with an long ancestry of human lords living in dwarven lands
- Vortman, ruler of a planet in a system being destroyed by the Dark Tapestry. He negotiated for safe passage of refugees with Orcs, using a spaceship that was recovered and restored.
- He saved many people, but while flying away, the reactor began to melt down, and he sacrificed himself to stop the melt down, despite others volunteering and being capable.
- As a result of his actions, the three factions aboard the ship (Kingdom of Altmor, Golden Tribe, Xiang Tse), upon landing on a planet with hostile natives, fell into disarray, and eventually died out.
- The dwarves accuse him of neglecting his responsibilities. Had he not sacrificed himself, his people may have lived.
- Soul slated to be sent to the Boneyard, instead of in the Rune Barrow
- Sheila G, Yamson, and Twistfuck are asked to help with another case!
- Dwarf sex: sanctioned is great, under-the-table is fine
- A mercenary, very skilled, would offer his services for coin, alcohol, or sexual favors. Often, his asks for coin or alcohol were excessive, and thus he would often garner favors.
- In the views of humans, were his actions considered criminal or acceptable?
- All agreed not criminal
- Yamson believed guy was total scumbag
- Twistfuck believed guy was fuckin' rad
- Harvey reads a book and takes some notes about loopholes in soul contracts, *Poorly Thought Out Dwarvish Soul Contract* *Notes.* Boobons takes some better notes about it.
- Twistfuck reads a book and takes some notes about the quality-control manual for forging, and scribbles down a handful of dwarvish forge-quality definitions.
- We visit Magrym!
- A dragon, Nuripites, stole one of Magrym's runes. It imbues the dwarven race with protections during childbirth. In exchange for returning this rune, Magrym will return Cayden Caylean's soul to us.
- The intention is to try and restore Cayden Caylean to a mortal realm, and try to direct him towards his destiny of divinity.
#### Locations
- Rune Barrow
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Magrym
#### Other Notes

# Yamson's Journal, 2022-05-30
#### Review
- Status of the material plane
- In several years, an invasion from the Dark Tapestry
- Civil War raging in the heartland of our country, started basically by us, that has since been resolved
- Started as a religious war between the Inquisition and the Council of Keys
- All out war
- Peace was brokered, and the church of Abadar dissolved
- In the Far Territories:
- Calcifer grew in power, and the army eventually brokered peace
- Orcs began growing in power
- Kaldur Black returned, and left the party; returned as a fey
- Bargelgorf insistent that solution to survive Dark Tapestry invasion is to escape. Attempted several off-world scouting trips, but discovered forces restricting/destroying scouts. Appears to be some sort of derelict ship in orbit around the planet.
- The Men In Black exist, basically have free reign
- The Brotherhood trying to control the Terra Cotta Army of Hu Long. Requires new ruler of the hobgoblins; current scattered into smaller city-states.
- Must sit upon throne with armor, crown, scepter, and sword of Hu Long in order to control the army
- Kasabian died trying to retrieve one of the artifacts; found in the Boneyard.
- Adventures in Fairyland
- Shard of Harvey on the loose. In attempt to hunt it down, discover and free a titan, causing death of Cayden Caylean.
- Angered the god of salt, literally an entire mountain
- Titans come from Titan
- The planet of Earth was ripped to it's own plane. This is what fairyland now is. It was done so as a protective means against the Dark Tapestry. The Holly King can no longer get to fairyland because of this separation.
- We travelled to the Boneyard, seeking passage on the Bridge of Spines to get to The Rune Barrow. We did that; lots happened!
- Will Yamson met Nyarlohotep, the chaos that crawls. Changed Carl into a draco-lich, and spoke through Yamson's old corpse
- Mother Vulture problems with Bargelgorf's lab
- When Barglegorf clones us, the new body's soul is ripped from it and destroyed. This is no bueno.
- Shela G (alone) signed a contract: When SG returns to the material plane, the first thing she must do is get to Bargelgorf's lab and destroy the cloning machine, or fix it so the machine does not destroy the souls. Forces of Mother Vulture will assist in the assault.
- At the end of the Bridge, Shela G was given the option of 3 gifts; she choose the Golden Heel Bone. Purpose currently unknown.
- Met with Magrym
- Does not have the ability to return CC's power. CC has no memory of being a god, but remembers entire mortal life. M wants to return CC to life, but not as a god. In order to do this, asks for retrieval of rune from a crypt dragon; rune guarantees species better child birth. Entire party signed contract to do so.
- Offered help:
- Taking rune by force: offered access to the greatest smiths of the realm
- Offered to teleport us to soul of recently deceased dragon slayer
- Provided with rune allowing transportation back to Rune Barrow, whenever the graves of faithful (worshiped dwarven pantheon) dwarves are. Will open a way to the Pathway of the Dead (rather hostile place) as a way to get back.
- Each of party met with M
#### Session
- Teleported to Dramon, the dragon slayer
- tasked with hunting a red dragon. ambushed by giants. died on the way
- advise arming with adamantine weapons, be prepared for negative levels and energy drain, don't let it get above us
- We agree to hunt the red dragon Dramon failed to kill
- Lives in a volcano lair, called Volc
- Boat from Rhyme, up White River, to Valley of Low Suns, and finally to the volcano Volc
- ambushed by fire giants in the Valley; probably took all the good stuff
- Plane shift to Material Plane, arriving at half-sunk ruins in the acid seas
- Job Philburt, from one of the Shela G's trials, is teleported to us by Damar, because he felt SG's judgement was wrong, and he's giving him to us for a second chance
- Flick also joins us
- Flick, Job, Yamson and Tim hop into the whole
- Teleport to Barglegorf's Lab
- No immediate response from Barglegorf
- Boobons "Knock"'d us out of the teleport capture chamber.
- Exploring, find many dead gillmen
- Heading to clone lab, many dead gillmen and skumm. Barglegorf's corporeal body is dead. Single skumm moving in pattern in middle of room
- Several Vance appear, destroy the clone machine, take the soul filter, and take off
- Exploring more, find more dead gillmen, including Blubluv Gablublub and Splooshrod
- Crystal mines, no bodies; forge empty too
- Teleport to Breem. Learn we've been gone for about 3 months (from spring to fall)
- some kind of refugee issue with elves from across the sea
- rent boat for travel to Rhyme
- sending with Barglegorf. Learn that weird fey murder babies escaped and killed everything.

# Yamson's Journal, 2022-06-13
#### Events
- Total value of all things sold last session: 6347 gp, 6 sp each
- Conversation with Kaldur Black, recapped/continued:
- Caught up party on current events:
- The truce that the Bishop of Nemes signed has been broken. The cathedral is once again at war with the ghouls. He helped secure the gate to Fairyland, and it is under their control.
- Harvey offered to move gate to crumbling tower and bring army to material plane to find Calcifer
- Fort Rather is under Calcifer's influence
- Captain Il'Bardesh saved most of the 3rd's cavalry and moved to Accords territories
- Any dead brought back to life by the pool tend towards evil. Calcifer has ritualized this, and formed a pact around it. As soldiers die, they are restored and corrupted to his side.
- Speaking of Calcifer, a reminder: he worked to close the Tindalos "wormhole", but needed a surrogate general. None of us volunteered, and so that's a thing.
- Kaldur can't find Sacko (Sheila G's kid), and suspects he's in danger
- Crius *also* said Sacko is in danger...
- Kaldur believes that a unified fey could be a strong enough army
- Informs party he's working with the Twilight Court
- Hasn't heard of the Holly King
- The Brotherhood has been pushed out of most of the Far Territories, instead of the City of Strangers. They're making a new stronghold in the northern lands

# Yamson's Journal, 2022-10-17
#### Events
- Sheila G, Gavin, and Twistfuck visit the temple
- After a significant discussion, the head priest is willing to explore putting the lantern in the Tomb of Mud, pending a discussion with the church of Mogrym
- Yamson checks the lower docks for cultists, in the area of the Greenly family
- Near the waterfall
- Greenly's shanghai'd folks into working on ships, and gambling
- Had networks of tunnels, and made enough money to delay litigations
- Found 3 entrances to secret tunnels:
- One near a saloon
- One near the river
- One leads behind the waterfall
- Stop in at one of the Greenly bars
- Generally human laborers, "the upper poor"
- Armed guards, just hanging out (leathers, clubs, knives, nothing too crazy)
- Tailed by some urchins, lost them at a bar
- Made it to meeting
- Stakor (Boobons) and Gibbons check the upper docks for cultists
- The bergermeister provides some details about contraband: some drugs and accelerants.
- Everyone goes to the Triumph Archway
- Near one of the great bridges, on the second level of the city.
- Miscreants are defacing dwarven script all over the city, specifically the runes for steel, sand, and head
- Sheila G identifies the graffiti on the "steel" rune was being drawn by the madman in blood
- An old man, with an upside-down ankh, was feeding birds. Sheila G pointed it out to Yamson, who offered to tail him. As Yamson set off to setup, the old man was immediately aware of his intent, and Sheila G sent a sending notifying Yamson of this. Feigning return, when Yamson turned back, he saw a human version of himself, which sent him diving into the crowd to escape. The rest of the group saw the old man trying to follow Yamson, and giving up. Yamson and Stakor had a sending, during which Yamson advised not engage the old man, that he would try to tail the old man again, and would meet up with the group later
- The rest of the group set off to speak with the carver's guild, and as they were crossing the bridge, a tiefling approached them with potentially harmful intent, and was held by Stakor via magic.
- As the calamity of the bridge happened, Yamson approached the old man, but instead saw himself setting there. The yell at the bridge caused the old man/faux-Yamson to take interest, and then immediately notice Yamson again, who immediately panicked and ran.
- A group of dwarven guards showed up, beat the shit outta the tiefling, and dragged him away to the temple of Torag. While doing so, a blood-curdling scream is heard from the archway area, and the party-sans-Yamson returns to investigate. The area is empty, but there is screaming coming from the tunnels. As the party-sans-Yamson moves in, they find Yamson screaming like a madman. Yamson calms down as the party engages, but as he begins to explain what's going on, he panics again. After a bit he calms down again. However, he cannot discuss seeing himself with the group. He tries to write it down, but ends up writing "WE FIND WITHIN OURSELVES A BLUBBERING NOISE ON TOP OF MEANINGLESS ROT. IF YOU CUT THE HEAD OFF THIS SNAKE IT JUST GROWS ANOTHER HEAD. ABANDON MEANING" and drawing a crazy symbol, which makes Stakor also suffer Fear. Eventually, Yamson decided to book it to the Temple of Torag, the party follows. Sheila G starts getting a bunch of Sendings.
- At the temple, Yamson discovers the tattoo from Nyarlethotep is still on him somehow. He chains himself to a bench, and waits to speak with the high priest. The party-sans-Yamson goes to interrogate some of the cultists. One is a cultist of Flauros.
- We are just getting ready for the lantern to go into the mud pit
#### Locations
- Temple of Torag
- Upper City docks
- A Greenly-named drinking house
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Gibbons Gormon
#### Other Notes
- Garstein is a place, apparently responsible for much illicit contraband

- Kaldur was "interrogated" by Sheila G and Twistfuck.
- The Twilight Court pursued and successfully captured the gateway to the first world that was held by the Bishop, ghouls, and river kings. As a result of this, the clergy of the Church of Abadar at Nemes were murdered by the Twilight Court (unbeknownst to Kaldur), and the ghouls and the church are now at war.
- The Twilight Court now controls the gate, and runs the Cathedral of Nemes.

She drinks it, seeing first through the walls, then through space, and finally a massive cluster of eyes, teeth and flesh devouring a ball of light.
- Kaldur's contact informs him of a bolt-hole on the second level, and the contact took out the man using it. Kaldur moves in. Additionally, learn that this morning we lost opportunity for influence with significant council family, and also learn of the leader of the cult of Aldenach. Big event happening in 6 days. Scandal in the House of Kelbore; cults likely involved. Carter Blank settles in at the bolt-hole. Kaldur rents a night at another inn.

# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-01-23
#### Events
- During the night a random dwarf stumbled upon our fire. His name is Boggom, and he and his companions were attacked by ogres! He managed to escape, but the remaining of his companions are unknown. His camp might have supplies still too. We pretty quickly found the remains, and it is a scene of absolute carnage. Some of the dwarves were carried off, and we followed them to a cave!
- We invaded the cave, and found 4 ogres, one of which appears to be a shaman! We killed them and rescued the remaining dwarves.
- We found a secret tunnel, with some weird writing and lighting and stuff. Something about "metal that's tasted blood." We left our weapons with Brandywine, and went down. We found ourselves in a purple dome, with a small stream of water, and a small stream of dust, that coalesce and spiral down and together in the center of the room. At the end of the room is large stone door, with a semisphere divot, and the imprint of a dwarven hand. On the arch above the water it says "born," and on the arch above the dust is says "unborn." Sir Laughlin McLaughlin and I each put our hands on it and walked through the door, but Harvey couldn't because he has weird hands, and Hangmoor didn't even try.
- Laughlin and I walked down into a cylindrical orange chamber, in the middle of which a combination of the dust and water is falling onto a many-sided rounded object. It is surrounded by many levers and gears, which look to manipulate the many-sided round object. There are carved runes on the walls, which look to be expedition notes. Opposite the entrance is a small pedestal with a glass bell jar, and a small black twisted thing inside, and a plaque on the front. It says, "Here lies the original Pansteer Expedition notes from Tarsis Mons" Turns out the levers and the sphere thing display the pages of the book on the walls in the carved runes! And that small black twisted thing inside is probably the original book. After some reading, it seems the Pansteer Expedition is a geology mission, exploring rocks and stuff in some canon in a place called Mars.
- Pansteer Expedition arrives on Mars, begins geological survey. They find artifacts, astounding and impossible, and considered this particularly noteworthy. The survey became an anthropological survey, with extensive funding. They found a number of artifacts, and it continued until the found a chamber, where they found evidence of writing. They also found spheres, that were not solid, liquid, or gaseous, and moved in size at almost random intervals, never getting too small nor too big. Experimented on the spheres with electricity, discovering that it can break them. Within the spheres was a green gas, which controlled and manipulated the expedition members, eventually into sabotage, at the instruction of the man with breaking skin and moving bones and stuff. This information was liberated from the Tarsis Society, and moved here for the express purpose of studying the artifacts below. The language found on Mars, and the language found in the chamber below, and thought to be one and the same. Post Note: If the work they're doing is not finished, hopefully someone else can finish it for them! Last Page moves the sphere over, with the water and dust combining into a ladder leading down into a dark hole.
#### Locations
- Ogre cave
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Boggom, a freed slave, who escaped an attack by ogres
#### Other Notes
- We're archaeologists now!

# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-01-30
#### Events
- Dan got into a fight with an ogre. He won!
- Sir Laughlin and I descended the ladder into the pit! We find ourselves in a large room. Aside from the ladder, there's a single tunnel, from rough stone to smooth stone, above which appears to be a place for a missing brass plate.
- There are runes on the walls. They're like pictograms, depicting rituals of the green faith. Hidden within one of the pictograms, on the eye of an elk, is written, in tight script dyed in a dark ink and an unknown language: "beyond lies the rooms where we are free from Their eyes". The dye looks much newer than the original pictograms.
- We move down the tunnel of smooth stone. At a point it shifts to a bluish metal, at which point the dancing lights I had winked out. We walk on the metal for a bit, our magical items disabled, and coming to a broken metal door, beyond which was a semi-circular room. As we approach, Sir Laughlin notices a significant coldness, and his divine link feels severed. Within the room are a number of bones scattered everywhere, of dwarves, as well as carapaces of rather large insects. Upon the pedestals are metallic objects, which in the light shine a pink but otherwise appear bronze. There are several that are rods (some flanged, some not); one looks like 7/8th of a disc with grooves; another looks like a large sphere with a smaller sphere pressed into a side of it. In the back of the room, sunken into the ground, in a large cylinder with a large spike sticking out of it. It appears to descend farther than 60ft, and the lip between the spike and the wall of the cylinder is only roughly 3/4 foot thick. There's an awful lot of books and poop. I also found a small shard of mithril, embedded in one of the dwarven bones. In the corner, surrounded by dwarf bones, in a blue bumpy egg-like thing: [The Frozen Heart of Cocytus](https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/artifacts/major-artifacts/frozen-heart-of-cocytus-major-artifact/). We leave it be, and return to the cave entrance.
- We explored the wilderness towards a camp, scavenging as we went.
- We found a cow! It turned into a rock! Er, it turned *back into* a rock. It was polymorphed! Weird.
#### Locations
- An ogre cave, and the ruins beneath it
#### NPCs and Notable Characters

# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-02-04
#### Events
- We got attacked by a troupe of goblins! We managed to fend them off with relative ease. They looked to be in the employ of the fire giants. We managed to get some food, but otherwise nothing worthwhile
- We continued, finding scavenger birds above the valley where Pogom's camp is. We hear indication of a battle that may be finished.
- We find a bunch of goblins picking through the remains of the camp and many dwarves, plus two hobgoblin riders.
- Harvey engages one of the riders, and kicks 'em right in the face!
- Hangmor turns the other rider into a pin cushion!
- Harvey and I then take out the remaining rider, and Hangmor decimated the entire goblin troupe!
- A gnome working with Pogom, Gammel, welcomes us at a partially collapsed tunnel entrance, and offers to lead us to Pogom's new camp (presumably inside the tunnel!)
- We meet with Pogom! He's low on supplies, but has been raiding fire giant locations and freeing slaves.
- They have some goblins they're hoping we can take off their hands. Sir Laughlin doesn't like the idea.
- One of them has a sword, and armor covered in dwarven runes, and a holy symbol of Maugrim fashioned from broken manacles. His name is Ernest.
- Harvey (and I) convinced Ernest to help us kill the dragon.
- Pomish, a hobgoblin priest of Crius, tells us some geopolitical details about Kellymandrax
- The dragon is more of a figure-head, receiving tribute from the "lesser" kingdoms. Some of the kingdoms are more powerful than Kellymandrax, but they receive the benefits of the dragon's presence (resources, renown, etc..). There are no slaves held by the dragon, though. All kingdoms either believe the dragon is a powerful and rightful leader, or they know better, but all are willfully there.
- There are ruins to the east, of a place called Stormheim, and reports of strange creatures residing there
- Greysword, a hobgoblin intent to slay every Clan Sartoz fire giant he finds
- He tells us about a surveyor's camp, with many goblins and giants responsible for scouting and mapping out the underground tunnels. He offers to help attack this camp with us.
- We're planning two raids: one with Pogom and full force against a farm, to get food; and a following against the fortified surveyor's camp. The raid on the farm is two days away
- Hangmor helps the hunters to gather food, and finds a bear abomination, with spiked tentacles coming out of it's mouth, and a snake's head instead and in place of a bear's tail.
- I think this is a bear tainted with the Dark Tapestry, specifically the spawn of Shub-Niggurath
- Sir Laughlin MacLaughlin fashions one of the chain shirts found into barding for Brandywine
- FARM RAID!!!
- Pogom marched 40 dwarven troops, and while they waited, we moved in under stealth to remove the sentries.
- Hangmor, Harvey, Ernest, some dwarven rangers, and I find 3 goblin sentries. We take them out without problem
- We continue forward, moving into the farm lands. The overseers start sounding alarms, and Harvey and I charge in!
- Harvey moves with significant speed, closing the distance and attacking! Hangmor and I join in from range. We get 3 of them, freeing...
- 24 humans
- 6 dwarves
- 12 goblins
- The dwarves and humans return to Pogom's camp, and the goblins come with us. We arm some of them with short swords and short bows.
- One of them is named Swordpit
- After a successful raid, we depart for the surveyor's camp with the freed goblins and Greysword
#### Locations
- Forest and woods nearing the giant's domain
- Pogom's Camp
- Stormheim, the ancient home of the dwarves of Rhyme. Now in ruins, and possibly overrun by the Dark Tapestry
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Gammel, a gnome working with Pogom
- Ernest, a goblin paladin of Maugrim
- His previous name was Spikecock
- Pomish, a hobgoblin priest of Crius
- Greysword, a hobgoblin intent to slay Clan Sartoz fire giants
- Swordpit, a freed goblin slave
#### Other Notes
- Brandywine's name *may actually be* Marmelade.

# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-02-19
#### Events
- After a successful Potato Raid, we move with freed goblins to the surveyor's camp
- Hangmor and Greysword scout, establishing us a path towards our destination
- Deciding against a ridgeline, we move into a valley that seems closer to the First World
- As we move, we discover brownies, little furry fey creatures, traveling along with us. Carmen tosses him some potatoes, and a brownie, Nibs. It informs us that the valley ahead is the Valley of the Old Man of the Woods. The Old Man of the Woods is a forgotten fey being, which has a "forest" that spans time and space. He will cause calamity until groups are split into individuals. At which point, the Old Man will appear before each individual, asking them a question. If the individual answers the question quickly and reasonably, the Old Man will permit their passage, and expedite their travel. However, if the individual doesn't answer the question, or takes too long, or answers with another question, then the Old Man will kidnap the individual and ferry them away to the First World. The questions he asks may seem super technical, but are always riddles; more a challenge of wits than a challenge of knowledge.
- Nibs takes off, and we head back to the ridge line, to avoid going through the Woods of the Old Man. Carmen takes to the skies, checking for pathways from above. None of them look terribly easy, but some of the are feasible. After some deliberation, we decide to proceed this way. Moving along at a decent pace, we have Carmen's pegasus ferry us across some of the otherwise impassable obstacles. We establish a camp, not making a fire. During the night, we hear voices from the valley, but otherwise are undisturbed. As we continue, the ridge widens and we find a cave. We decide not to visit the cave, and continue along. Carmen takes to the skies to scout, and gets attacked by a massive eagle! It plucks him off his pegasus, and flies him to its nest. He gets eaten alive by a rocling, but kills his way out! His pegasus fights the roc, but ends up retreating back to the party. As they return, the party engages and kills the roc, before getting a roc egg and returning it to the party. Returning to adventuring, Carmen finds an ancient Corinthian-style column broken on the mountain side.
#### Locations
- Forests to the surveyor's camp
- A valley close to the First World
- The mountain side ridge line
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Ernest, a goblin paladin of Maugrim
- Greysword, a hobgoblin intent to slay Clan Sartoz fire giants
- Swordpit, a freed goblin slave
- Nibs, a brownie
- Cleanpalm, a goblin given a bath and then carried by Harvey
#### Other Notes
- We have a Roc's egg, worth 4000gp

# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-02-25
#### Events
- After fighting a giant bird, we decide to ferry the party over the mountain to our next destination!
- Harvey and Carmen take the first trip, stopping at the column seen on the mountain side.
- It's covered in giant writing and (possibly) arcane runes, made of a very nice marble. They didn't investigate it further
- With minimal difficulty, we get everyone across!
- We descend slightly into the woods, to give us more cover and help us forage more. We eat some delicious boiled and seared potatoes.
- Some of the goblins get scared, and leave the camp. Hangmor tails them, at the suggestion of Ernest. The goblins head back towards the mountain. Shortly after they leave, we hear a hunting horn, and Hangmor hears a giant hunting party romping through the woods. After a bit, Hangmor returns, and the night continues, without further interruption.
- In the morning, Swordpit tries to help Sir Laughlin MacLaughlin put his armor on, but MacLaughlin find the idea revolting. Tuckleberry agrees to teach Swordpit how to be a page!
- We move upon the Surveyor's Camp
- Hangmor and Greysword scout, finding a few orcish sentries in the trees. At the entrance to the camp, there is a giant set of bronze-studded wooden doors, with a shelf above it and more sentries.
- On our return trip, we discover that the sentries were all taken out with arrows. On the shelf above the door, we find an unconscious hobgoblin and a secret door. I revived the hobgoblin, and he opened the secret door for us! Then Greysword threw him off the shelf. Which was quite rude. Hangmor climbs down, finds some more dead hobgoblins, and a bunch of arrows. As they explore more, they meet up with Will Yamson. He informs them that Kaldur is scouting, and that there is a giant and 4 guards in another room.
- Meanwhile, while the dwarves wait for Kaldur to return, Tuckleberry releases Greysword, who mysteriously was transformed into a female lizardfolk. Greysword climbs down and joins them.
- Kaldur informs the group that there's a troop of hobgoblins, as well as several facilities. He learns what we're looking for, and goes back off to find it.
- Jeff decides to hang out with the party for a bit inside
- Eventually Kaldur returns with the survey results, and the location of the entrance to the tunnels. After some more discussion, they kidnap the deep gnome that made the results. They leave the tunnels and hook up with the rest of the party. They agree to continue their discussion elsewhere.
- Also, everyone got really angry that I let Greysword go, which made me chuckle.
- We leave the camp, making our way towards the Old Man's forest to hide and discuss our next steps.
#### Locations
- The mountain side ridge line
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Ernest, a goblin paladin of Maugrim
- Greysword, a hobgoblin intent to slay Clan Sartoz fire giants
- Somehow transformed into a female lizardfolk
- Swordpit, a freed goblin slave
- Cleanpalm, a goblin given a bath and then carried by Harvey
- Maschrist, a hobgoblin that Greysword threw off a mountain, that was then raised by Sir Laughlin MacLaughlin.
#### Other Notes
- We still have a Roc's egg, worth 4000gp
- The traitor *may be* Bobbypins, which is apparently my name.

# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-03-04
#### Events
- We interrogated the gnome we kidnapped!
- The dwarven paladin shouldn't be allowed to speak to anyone. Ever.
- After some tense and unnecessarily difficult negotiations, we manage to strike a deal with the gnome: he will provide us with information for how to go through the tunnels, and in return we deliver him to Rhyme to a court for a "fair trial" to judge him. There are 3 paths:
- An underground river
- An underground chasm, that we may be able to navigate in the right direction
- Going deep enough, we can get to the Underdark and go from there
- Hangmor goes out hunting. He runs into some fae getting into a fight: a frozen rider and some big rocky thing. He hears voices in the forest, asking him questions. He finally runs into the Old Man of the Woods, who asks him a question: "How many herrings grow in the woods?" Hangmor's answer was "None." However, he also mentioned he'd like to be old some day. After answering, Hangmor found himself back at camp, old now, and only able to speak in rhyming couplets.
- After some deliberation, Kaldur volunteers to return the deep gnome to Rhyme. He seems to be honest, but Harvey and Carnation intuit that Kaldur's not being fully transparent. He and the deep gnome depart.
- Ernest and his goblins all depart, except for Swordpit, who stayed to keep learning how to be Sir Laughlin's page
- We decide for an over-land approach, and enter the Valley of Ash
- We enter in, with relative ease. The first night, Kaldur Black returns to camp.
- Sir Laughlin asks Kaldur about other times that Harvey may have betrayed his word. Tuckleberry scribbles furiously.
- Tuckleberry and Kaldur also talk a lot about the artifact that I found.
- Tuckleberry overhears Kaldur mention to Harvey that the surveyor knows of a priceless gem, and that if more funds are needed in the future, Kaldur knows how to get there.
- We run into a hobgoblin dying in the ash dunes. Once Tuckleberry revives him, he tells us of a creature in the ash clouds that decimated his column. And once he killed them, he resurrected them as undead. Yamson killed him, which seemed kinda rude. Our party kills a lot of innocent people. Well... "innocent"...
#### Locations
- The forests, which borders the First World
- The Old Man's forest
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Ernest, a goblin paladin of Maugrim
- Greysword, a hobgoblin intent to slay Clan Sartoz fire giants
- Somehow transformed into a female lizardfolk
- Swordpit, a freed goblin slave that I'm training to be Sir Laughlin MacLaughlin's page
- Cleanpalm, a goblin given a bath and then carried by Harvey
- Maschrist, a hobgoblin that Greysword threw off a mountain, that was then raised by Sir Laughlin MacLaughlin.
- Will Yamson, a svaltalfar slayer
- Kaldur Black, a "svaltarfar" baron
- A deep gnome
- The Old Man of the Woods
#### Other Notes
- We still have a Roc's egg, worth 4000gp
- The Old Man's riddle was "How many herrings grow in the wood?"
- Kaldur knows of a priceless gem's location, should we want to go for it in the future
- That artifact is [The Frozen Heart of Cocytus](https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/artifacts/major-artifacts/frozen-heart-of-cocytus-major-artifact/), by the way. Friendly reminder :)

- We continue, and run into a floating metal tentacle thing. Turns out it's an armored flumph! Apparently an old friend of Harvey's and Kaldur's. It seems to have a technologically enhanced powered armor suit! It has laser beams, and a flak cannon, and who knows what else! Jeff also tells us more Sojourners are showing up, and he mentioned something about them burning souls.

- We decided to march allllll night
- Eventually we came to a canyon, or we could've continued in the valley. We decided to go into the valley, and I fell down.
- In the canyon, we find a hidden door, and inside it smells terrible! We investigate further, findings plenty of droppings along the way.
- After a bit, we emerged into an area with a fresh spring. Behind some nearby murderholes we hear goblin voices asking us for a token. We didn't have one, and they said to hang out for a second, and then another drake and a column of infantry came to say hi! COMBAT!!
- We survive, with relative ease, and find our way into the passage with the murder holes. We decide to rest in there.

title: Harvey's Quest, Session 9
---
# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-05-01
#### Events
- In the previous, missing session, we fought SO MANY THINGS! There was a big guy in spiky armor, and ogres, and a half-orc wizard, and spear guys, and a boat load of goblins and half-orcs.
- We leave the killings fields, back into the Valley of Ash, and try to decide how to move forward. We settle on moving further along the Valley of Ash towards Vuln.
- Along the way, we come across many footprints. We continue.
- Further along, we see a number of flames shooting up at different heights on our right. There are murder-holes along the cliff-side, large enough for ballistae. There is a curtain wall, with patrols. And before us are glowing rocks, leading towards the fortifications. Drakes circle the volcano beyond. We back away, and as we do, one of the drakes spots us.
- We retreat about 20 minutes back, and after some daring discovery, find a suitable camp! Humblebag and his goat start climbing towards the camp. Carmen escorts Harvey first, then Sir Laughlin and Swordpit. However, before he can come back for me, a dozen full-plate-armored goat-riding hobgoblins surrounded and captured me. I surrendered peacefully, without revealing my connection to the rest of the party. Half of the goat-riders, noticing disturbed rocks, went to investigate towards the party. The remainder of the goat-riders escorted me back to the fortifications.
- They bring me to a cell, and take away all my stuff, and Brandywine, and lock me up in the dark. A dark gnome eventually shows up, and asks me some questions, and apparently my answers weren't good enough, because he left me. I played with some Dancing Lights, and evidently that *really* bothered them, because a whole bunch of hobgoblins showed up and beat me senseless! Guess I got a good night's sleep after all.
- Meanwhile, the party managed to rest on a landing hidden in the ash. During the night a king-sized bed magically appeared, but when they awoke they were laying on boulders. After their rest, the descended the mountain, right into a column of the dragon's troops. Combat is inevitable.
#### Locations
- A canyon and crevasse near the Valley of Ash
- The Valley of Ash
- Vuln, the Volcano Stronghold of Kallymandios. Or whatever their name is this week.
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Swordpit, a goblin fighter studying to be Sir Laughlin MacLaughlin's page
#### Other Notes

# Tugger's Notes, 2023-08-07
#### Events
- The Twistfuck fights a giant squid monster! He tried to solo it. He failed. No glory.
- Sheila G and Co. head to the Temple of Torag to discuss council business
- Then there's the first official council meeting!
- They voted on the high priest of Gozreh for the final council member.
- Stackor talks about building the space laser. The council was generally dismissive and unhelpful.
- The Twistfuck has Stackor send a Sending to the Graven Knight. We learn he is free of his geas, and is causing disarray among Calcifer's troops, before retreating to Castle Black
- The party returns to the room, where The Twistfuck consults with Pip to head to the Fairy duel between the Winter Count and the Underground Court.
- On the way we get attacked by cultists of Aldinach. We dispatch of them with incredible ease, and I stay behind to make sure it's all handled and cleaned up.
- The remainder of the party continues to the duel.
- The Winter Court champion is a white figure riding a translucent horse, clad in armor with a stag-horned helm.
- The champion of the Kingdom Underneath is a prettier-looking troll with a warhammer and shield.
- The champion of the Kingdom Underneath wins!
- Then, immediately following the duel, the entire room goes black.

- Goldolphin, paladin of Abadar
- Pip, representative of the Underground Court
#### Other Notes
- Last session, a crazy lady charged Gibbons while holding a flower, and pushed him off a bridge into the river. Twistfuck followed, and combat ensued. Evidently chasing after the lady wasn't important?

title: Conquest for the Bore, An Aside
---
# Diary of Sir Tern Ipswitch, 2023-09-04
#### Events
- I attempt to negotiate with Slit, a representative of the Court of Worms.
- The court demanded an offering of corpses.
- A further demand was that the army would have safe passage, but 1 in every 10 would be taken by the Court.
- Both of these demands were unacceptable.
- Stackor updates Colonel Syrup, who orders us to clear out the Court
- We explore the lower tunnels, and kill some of the fey.
- We find a door obviously sized for a giant, closing on pathway of the tunnel. We leave it closed.
- Going the other way, we find a trap door. We leave it closed.
- Stackor returns to camp, to update Colonel Syrup. He orders up to investigate further into the tunnels.
- We approach the giant door first
- Opening it with *Knock*, we discover the drill bit used to create the top-most bore tunnel. It is made of an odd metal we've never seen before.
- There is also an armor giant. A giant armor. A suit of rune-laden armor for a giant. It's magical.
- We approach the trapdoor next.
- After some effort, and Jen creating a pull ring, we open the trap door. There's a huge-sized ladder into the depths. We take our time and descend.
- At the bottom is what appears to be a human-sized skeleton. It does not smell of piss. We are in a smooth-stoned tunnel, bored from the bit we found in the giant room.
- Traveling forward, we find a doorway on the left. Investigating further, we find a square room with a "big ol' metal thing" with a canvas tube going into the rear wall. Two fey were hiding, that teleported away when we found them.
- The "big ol' metal thing" is full of wires and gears, clearly broken down, panels and such.
- We hear moaning from the hallway, from something larger than previously known
#### Locations
- The Bore
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Fey of the Court of Worms, an evil court concerned with death and decay, the fears associated with them, and other generally creepy things.
- Slit, a shark-headed fey creature (Deceased)
#### Other Notes
-

# Tugger's Notes, 2023-09-20
#### Events
- The group sits in their hotel room.
- We are aware of a supposed meeting of the cult of Nyarlathotep in three days
at night. Hugh Lam wants us to capture a sojourner there alive.
- Two pieces of mail:
- First, a request to convene the council
- Second, a request from Sir Brightstone, a paladin of Torag, requests a
meeting with Sheila G.
- Decide to search for the Church of the Eternal Bloom, of Milani (Milanites)
- Head to lower level of city. Learn of a benefit being put on by members of
the Church for the families of the suicides. Contact learned of this
from the Commodities Exchange.
- Head to Commodities Exchange. Plenty of goods, guards, and golems moving
things. We manage to get a few names out of someone: Mr. Walini, an
import merchant; and Smelk, a community preacher or something. We know
where Walini's office is.
- We detour to Sheila G.'s church. Nobody really knows anything about
Milani or the Church of the Eternal Bloom that we don't already.
- We head to Mr. Walini's office, inquiring about the benefit. His clerk
let's us in.
- Walini has a small brass trinket with the holy symbol of Milani on it,
which he tries to hide from us, but discloses with minimal
resistance.
- Walini insists there is no problem with Milani, that they are a
peaceful and good deity, and that they are certainly _not_
associated with suicide.
- We get directed to the Green Bottle Inn as a potential place where
Smelk may be.
- We head to the Green Bottle Inn
- Bunch of folks dressed in green. While not members of the Greenlees,
their dress indicates the support the old criminal family, and
follow that lifestyle. They're dress-me-up criminals.
- Gavin shoots up the place, causing a big ruckus, and
getting us in trouble with the gangs
- We end up confronted by the gang leader, who offers to help us if we
never interfere with their business or turf again. Sheila G
completely misinterprets the offer, offends the gang, and we lose
that offer.
- We head back to the upper level, and meet with the creepy old guy
- He offers to try and find Smelk, but asks for time.
- Also offers us another super potion thing, and Twistfuck gives him
1050gp to make it
- Gavin and I head home. The rest of the group hit up a bar and tried to get
more information, but just got drunk.
- Once we get back to the hotel, the paladin of Torag, Sir Brightstone, was
waiting for us.
- In conversation with him, he asks why, once we scryed on him, we didn't
teleport to my brother. This stunned the group.
- Next day, we head to the church of Torag, and attempt to Scry on my brother
again.
- The Scrying attempt fails, so we decide to teleport to my brother's last
known location
- We show up in a room with a bunch of people with their arms and legs cut
off, who have also been blinded. Evidently these are "Joyful Things",
from the Zon-Kuthon church.
#### Locations
- Rime
#### NPCs and Notable Characters
- Hugo Lam, a random person that caught Sheila G.'s attention. Definitely not
shady. Had champagne.
#### Other Notes
- James' new character is Edgar, an investigator assigned to us by the courts to
help hunt down the cults.
- We were given evidence of a fight between fights. One of them may be a cult of
Vildeis, the other was Cthulu

## Events
- The party begins asking around the neighborhood, looking for cultists.
- Sheila G quaffs the aura-sight potion
- Chuck and Gartug have brown auras, Randy has a green and blue roiling aura with thunderbolts, and Mike has no aura but a cloud around his head.
- The second house, nobody answers
- The third house, a human with a green and yellow aura answers.
- He reported of spotting a man covered in ashes wandering around the neighborhood
- He offered to tell his master they visited, and send an invitation for a proper time
- The house is owned by Master Sisyphus. Evidently he was a famous adventurer, and a collector of oddities.
- The fourth house, an old lady with a parchment-covered aura answers.
- She is a char-lady: she cleans out old ashes and coals from furnaces
- The party pushes past the lady to investigate further. They come across a younger lady (tan aura), who approaches them.
- She tells them the Lady of the house is eating, and asks us to return in an hour. Despite certain noises, the party obliges
- The fifth house, a 12-year old boy answers the door. He has a blue aura. After a brief exchange, the boy closes the door on the party.
- The sixth house, a human opens the door. He has leather armor and a short sword. Their aura is grey, red, and white.
- A second human, similarly dressed, is within.
- This home is one of Lord Woolsey. He is the master librarian of public library number 2. He will be returning at lunch.
- We circle round to the first house, of the Lars family. An old man answers with a brown and pink aura.
- After brief discussion, the old man encourages us to test the lock, and closes the door.
- We knock again, and learn that the Mr. Lars is at a floutist sympozium. We then learn the history of the flute gang.
- Learn that the second house is empty, and has been for the past 2 years. It was apparently recently bought by one of the money-changing houses.
- Heading back to the second house, after a brief discussion about how getting into the house now would be illegal, Sheila G and Randy Dimension Door'd into the house, and Gartug and Chuck waited outside. The constable went to look for the key to the house.
- All rooms are empty, the fireplace is unused, and a stack of fire wood waits nearby.
- Sheila G finds footsteps with eyeball-auras leading into a back, roughly-hewn room.
- Randy uses his Door-Knocker, and finds a carved ladder hidden behind the wall, descending about 5 feet into a little cubby, with a peep-hole drilled into the wall.
- Sheila G casts light on a cigarrette, and pushes it through the hole. Beyond, they now see what looks like a study with a table, an alchemy set, a bookshelf, a wardrobe, and a woven rug on the ground. Sheila G teleports them into the room.
- Investigating now in person, they see many vials of powders and liquids, with many books in Abyssal and referencing dark magics and regions in the abyss. Several books in common about medicine and poison. Inside the wardrobe is a big golden mask, a few holy symbols of Aldinach, and a magical kukri.
- At the desk is a locked drawer, with writing materials on top. Popping open the drawer with a crowbar, they find 3 books.
- Randy checks one: Financial records of ocean voyages.
- Sheila G checks another: also financial records of ocean voyages.

- The party investigates the first room, a kitchen
- We find the servant making soup. Gartug stays to watch the servant.
- The part investigates the second room, a room of curiousities
- They a magic staff, a pyramid with a plaque (which says, "The Temple of Hos-Tith"), rug on the ceiling, and a model of a ship.
- Randy uses the staff to knock down the rug, which spills golden dust of everyone. Chuck fails his save, sneezes, and falls to the ground, seemingly effected by a _Command_ spell.
- Chuck gets attacked by an unseen assailant!
- It was a zombie! Apparently constructed to protect the stuff. Gartug punches it apart.
- Randy threatens the servant, who responds by smacking Randy in the face. They fight a bit.
- The cult leader runs out the front door. Sheila G takes chase!
- Sheila G captures the cult leader!
- Randy continues exploring, and gets attacked by hidden cultists! Gartug and Chuck join in the combat, taking down one and subduing the second.

#### Events
- We divy up the loot, sell it, and distribute the gold.
- 9487 to each of Sheila G, Chuck, Reggae Tony, and Randy
- Taliah joins the group, thus far not immediately killed.
- Sheila G gives away 20000gp to her temple. Taliah cries in lost constructs.
- While there, Sacco shows off a weird, flesh-warped tentacle monster, probably a spy for some nefarious leader
- Sheila G returns to the hotel. Taliah heads out to find one of those tentacle monsters.
- She heads down to the bar, where Clive is. She joins him.
- Clive reports that the Iron Suns, which are integrated with the Pink Chapel somehow, are heading to Garstein tomorrow morning. If we want to get any information from them, he advises we act.
- Naynay was also there. He reports that the Pink Chapel is trying to organize new leadership.
- We head to House Gormond. Our intention is to gain their permission and authority on to the ship the Iron Suns will leave on tomorrow.
- Boat: Grungir 2

#### Events
- Reggae Tony and Clive head out on their cult-mind-hunting-scheme on the boat. The rest of the party hangs out in the engine room.
- While canvassing the scene, someone bumps into Reggae Tony. Clive immediately crumbles in front of the bumper, crying about his foot. Due to further challenges, Clive ends up on top of Reggae Tony, inadvertantly kneeing him in the mouth.
- Later, Reggae Tony detects the thoughts of one of the mercenaries (a lady in white robes, with a backpack full of gear), as she thinks about forcably pegging one of the sailors. After reporting it to the group, Clive attempts to seduce/coerce the lady into the engine room. He convinces her by getting the sailor she wants to peg to go to the engine room. The entire group heads to the engine room, and we begin out first ambush abduction attempt!
- We successfully subdue her! The interrogation begins.
- Sure enough! She's a member of the Socatoa cult. She reports the cult is breaking up, and seems to believe it. Pressing her for members from the mercenary, she knows of some but not all. She claims to not know how the mercenaries got a contract. She was a member of the cult, that was recruited by the mercenary company. She says she was hired because she's escaping the city. She gives up three names: Christopher, Amon, and Winters. Claims the leadership of the mercenary in directly involved with the cult; Christopher specifically runs the Iron Suns (mercenary company). He is a middle-aged man, with armor that denotes him in charge (a hatch-mark on his pauldrons). Nay-nay searches the lady (named Nympo Culto (yes really)), and finds some leather straps, and a strap-on.
- We decide to go for Christopher next. Plan is: Clive takes Nympho's disguise (successfully!), goes and tells Christopher that Nay-nay is waiting in the engine room with cult-related updates (success!), and then we ambush him!
- Christopher and one henchman are on their way. We are prepared to be invisible, and to silence the presumed combat.

# Locations
# Altae
The kingdom to which the party, at least part of it, swears allegiance.
# Bream
Small city with a big archives
### Noteworthy NPCs
\- Reginalde, a historian. Enlisted to gather information on Solnaj
# Fort Rather
One of the larger forts of the far territories. Where the party vault is.
# The Long Pass
Long, winding road through the mountains from the interior to the far territories.
# The Bore
A mountain-side fort. Basically a hole in a rock shelf. An improved fortification by dwarves, abandoned and then claimed by the Altae kingdom.
# Fustat
The city-state of a fallen, former empire.
#### The Order of Barred Doors
The location where mirrors connecting to the Paths of the Raven King have been fortified.
#### Sheila G's Free-Person Warehouse
Sheila G has bought and freed a number of (former) slaves. In order to house them, she bought a warehouse and has them stay there.
### On the Castes
The upper crust of Fustat is comprised of nobles and priests, the older and more connected with the history of the Ptolemic Empire, the more prestigious. New dynasties or churches of young gods are typically considered lower in status. Certain organizatio ns that are neither based on peerage also belong to the high castes, the Order of Barred Doors is one such group. The middling free classes of Fustat are those who make things; art is considered a higher calling than practical crafts. The lowest free classes are unskilled laborer s, people who do tasks that neither produce finished goods or require lengthy amounts of time engaged in book learning. Slaves can be considered a part of literally any of classes, based totally on who owns them. In fact, a slave that is owned by a prestigious noble family is con sidered to be in higher social standing than a free labourer. Such slaves are often experts in a field learning and considered an extension of the person or organization that owns them. Academic or service experts are rarely free people, and those that are are typically considere d to be bad at what they do, since no one has offered them a position. Though slaves, they are guaranteed several rights by law. At the absolute bottom of society are "chattel", such people are always in this tier as a result of being found guilty of a serious crime and are sent to work til death either as galley slaves or as miners.
# The Dirkish Empire
"Bad" guys
# The Pathways
Sometimes "The Pathways of the Raven King"
# The Twin Cities
The conjoined cities of Al-Hera and Busara. Also the location of BREACH!

#### Worries
- There is an orc warlord, unfriendly with the Accords, that is assembling a
massive warband to the North.
- There are waves of refugees coming from the far east fleeing "the horde"
- The elves of the hidden settlement, who occasionally gave the army
information, have not visited for many months
- The Snakefriend Clan of the Accords has vanished, every man woman and child
- While the eastern roads of the Long Pass have been repaired, the Bore has not
been retaken. Until it is, large forces will not be able to march to the Far
Territories from the interior.
- A brigand has slain the 13th Ancillary squad and taken the Golden Labyrinth.
What was once a small source of income is now a nigh impregnable staging
grounds for raiding parties.
#### Good News
- The second Ogre King of north has been slain and the road to the Accords
completed
- A cessation of hostilities with the daemons of the Pool of Al Jeezir was
negotiated by Baron Calder Black
- The crop blights in the South were the work of the Fairy Court of Worms and
stopped with the help of the ghouls of Nemes
- The Church of Damerrich has built a church in the town of Hope, and sent hero
level characters to run it.

# {{ page.title }}
### The Sun in Rags
A deity that resides within the Pathways of the Raven King. Its rights are the
ones the alternate Kaldur / Arconis uses to hide from other outer gods and to
make the pathways safer. The Sun in Rags glories in the decay of the physical
and the enlightenment of the mind. It either is, lives in, or is just strongly
associated with the sun that shines between worlds.
At Tier 3 you'd get:
- Sojourner Magic: -6 saves vs conjuration, +3 saves vs illusion, +3 saves vs
necromancy
- Sun's Casting: Necromancy spells are cast 1 level higher, spells with the
\[Light\] descriptor are cast 2 levels higher. Undead you create that would
normally be vulnerable to light are not. These bonuses double if you are
standing in area of bright light.
- Flesh is Rags (Su): Anytime you take 10 or more physical damage from a single
attack, you may, as an immediate action raise the light level around you by 1
step. The radius of this effect is 40 ft. If you take 20 more physical damage
while standing on solid ground, you may do the same targeting your blood and
flesh that falls to your feet.
- Light is Being (Su): As a swift action, you may take one point of Con damage
and teleport to any space in your line of sight that is lit by bright light.
Forming a connection with the Sun in Rags requires that you have seen the sun
between worlds with your own eyes and the completion of a ritual that requires a
mirror portal to the Paths and the corpse of a creature that had an Int score of
12 or higher. The ritual takes 3 hrs to complete and a Knowledge (Arcana) test
DC 15 and a Knowledge (Planes) test DC 20.
### The Chiliarch
A deity that lives on The Manse demi-plane (another interstitial plane, but one
you are mostly unfamiliar with). The Chiliarch typically appears as a humanoid
covered with wounds, with bleeding eye sockets and an empty mouth. He is blind
and mute, but sees and communicates in other ways. The Chiliarch understands
suffering, but endures.
If you embrace his teachings, at Tier 3 you would get:
- Sojurner Magic: -6 saves vs Conjuration, +3 saves vs evocation, +3 saves vs
enchantment
- Fading eyes: Your natural sight range ends at 30 ft and you receive -4 to
sight based Perception tests. You are immune to sight based attacks that
originate from over 30 ft away. You gain tremorsense with a range of 90 ft.
- Colonel's Endurance (Su): For every active point of bleed you receive DR 5/-
this stacks with every point of bleed. As a standard action you can give
yourself the bleed condition up to your Sojourner Tier, so long as you carry a
broken bladed weapon.
To form a connection with the Chiliarch, you must have been brought below 0 hp
and stabilized without outside healing. You must perform a ritual which requires
an iron door frame gilded with silvered symbols (100 gp), and ritualized self
mutilation of walking on broken glass and cutting yourself with a broken weapon
12d4 damage. You must pass a Knowledge (Planes) DC 20 test, but the DC is 4
lower for each 5 ranks you have in Profession (soldier). If you have ever lead
other intelligent beings to their death in combat, this DC is 4 lower.
### The Lost Hour
The book also contains a brief description of a deity called The Lost Hour, a
being that wanders at will between worlds with a magic map of time, but does not
have enough information for rites. It also suggests that the fey have a method
of hiding from outer gods, but not what it is.

# {{ page.title }}
Many signs and portents across the realms have predicted total disaster.
Alternate timelines have suffered from several different sweeping disasters, but
clues the party has gathered (and probably forgot) point to a coming invasion
from the Dark Tapesty. These clues were: a stone obelisk made by ancient ghoul
prophets, the cryptoc ramblings of an eclipse giant, the warnings of the dark
priest, the prophecy of the hainted castle, the artifacts and writings of
marooned space farers, and the signs and entreaties of the black butterfly. The
party knowns that Orlon, the king of the undead River Kings went in seatch of
more information, but never returned. They also known that in the alternate
universe of The Soaring Place, fairyland suffered an invasion by the creatures
of the Dark Tapestry, and The Crown Pronce in Exile wars againat them. Finally,
they know that a small incursion from the Dark Tapestry happened about 950 years
ago in the Far Territories and a coalition defeated that force.

title: On the Dark Folk

# {{ page.title }}
"Dark Folk" is a catch all for couple species that share the same language and
have some physical similarities. The small ones are dirty, vicious things that
dress in rags and love stabbing people. The medium sized ones hold nearly all
leadership positions, dress in immaculate black outfits and while less directly
quarrelsome tend towards sadism. All species have bodies that behave violently
when killed.The party had several run ins with them in the past, largely
centered around the noose. They used Acronis as an oracle, and were mad when the
party absconded with it. However, at some point Barri managed to convince, or
bully, them into serving him. The details of that are not known to the party.
The Dark Folk are known to be skilled at stealth, poison use, and arcane lore
that is considered abstract, in particular they are knowledgeable about many
facets of the Shadow Plane and the Underdark. They famously hate dwarves of all
kinds, gnomes and light.

# {{ page.title }}
The party was previously roped into a widesweeping investigation on behalf of
Breach who was engaged in a frantic battle against kytons on the Shadow Plane.
One Breach agent mentioned to Calder that the kytons were trying much harder
than usual to "save us". There were several unusual trends on the material
plane: 1) people were disappearing all over the cities, in Busura it was a large
number of people, mostly children, in Al'Jira a small number of adults of
varying professions. 2) A worrying number of people developer total amnesia 3)
an intellegent zombie was discovered working as a night watchmen and was slain
immediatly. The party was in the process of tracking down where the children
were being taken when they blundered into another universe, except for Calder
Black. Calder continued the investigation on his on, and then with Barri and
discovered that a daemonic priest was kidnapping them and leaving them in the
care of a mostly benign undead orphanage master in a ramshackle building inside
the city. The priest was killed. The orphan master was killed, the children were
released into the streets, save for the undead ones, who Barri adopted. They
declared the investigation complete and began planning their raid on the Dark
Priest. The cities vanished about a month later, leaving behind only a massice
stone slap with a single symbol carved on it. Later, the Bishop of Nemes threw
out a bunch of doomsayers from his lands and only afterwards learned from his
ghoul priests that they may be far more fangrrous than they seemed and
potentially responsible for the Twin Cities disappearance. The Bishop passed the
warning along to General Vandeemer and several cultists were captured in Fort
Rather and several more were apprehended and put death in the town of Hope.

title: On Arconis, Barri and the Traitor's Noose
---
# {{ page.title }}
The noose was first discovered by Barri, Argon, Calder and Helga as the journed
through the Long Pass with the remnants of the 18th Infantry of the 4th Army of
Altay under the command of Lt. Sydney. The Hanged Man was being used/worshipped
by the Dark Folk that lived in the Spire as a prophet. The party, acting on
Helga's dream, raided the the Spire and took the noose for themselves. Barri
decided to wear the noose personally, to help mitigate the ill effects of the
curse Sulnaj had inflicted upon him. Over time, the party learned the Arconis's
story; he was a prince of a small human city state subservient to the Dwarvish
Triarchy. When the Triarchy declared war on the Halfling Empire, they cled on
Arconis's people. At the time, the human city-state had more in common and
better relations with the Halfling Empire than their suzerain. Arconis resented
being forced to a war his people dis not want, and resented that an unrelated
law would force him to give up his daughter so she could serve as a priesthood
as an oracle. The war declaration pushed him over the edge into rebellion.
Knowing his dutiful father would bring his people to war, Arconis killed him and
his older brother both. His rebellion failed, largely because of the interence
of a Magi, whondefeated Arconis and his followers. However, before he was
captured, to prevent the Magi from taking his daughter from him, he threw her
over the Spire instead, earning the appellation 'Child-slaying Arconis".
Afterwards, he was hung as a traitor and cursed by the Magi, the nature of the
curse forces all his male descendants to eventually betray what they should
protect and in doing so, meet a painful death. Arconis was cursed with unlife to
watch this happen to all his line, unable to die while it endures. The party,
largely at Barri's insistence, promised to help Arconis kill off his remaining
heirs so he could finally die. Presently, all but one have been killed, and
Arconis has gotten more powerful with each death. He has become more lucid, but
when confused his madness is contagious and the living around the bearer of the
noose can be convinced they are Arconis's long dead companions. Such as Argus,
his spear bearer, or Clytemnestra, his lover. At night, any of the souls held in
the noose can manifest as ghosts, during the day, they can attempt to commune
with or posses the bearer, these abilities work best at dawn/dusk and poorly at
noon. At Barri's request Arconis is willing to fight Sulnaj and has helped
design a ritual so the revivifying god can be stopped and destroyed once and for
all. Barri's motivation is because the god cursed him at one point. The current
concern is that Barri's subservient Dark Folk may torture Arconis's last heir to
death before the ritual is performed, nullyfing the ritual and leaving Sulnaj
unchecked and able to return to true godhood. Sulnaj itself hungers to return to
power so it can proclaim and witness the end of the world. That would probably
not be helpful for anyone who wants to live.

# {{ page.title }}
The places in between universes and the Raven King: There are several ways to
move between universes that the party knows of:
1. The Pathways of the Raven King- named after the famous sojourner but far
older than he, the pathways connect alternate universes and timeliness
through reflective surfaces. Magically induced light behaves strangely here
and physics tends to be relative. People who die seem to quickly be raised
into undead. Powerful outsiders, and even dieties, fear to use or even
observe these paths, however it is known to the party that several versions
of Caymden Cailen have done so.
2. Portals of the Old Ones- built by ancient cults of obscurity, the party
decided not to even consider using them at the advice of Palemon, the Crown
Prince in Exile (an alternate version of the Forgotten Lord, who tended to
rage instead of melancholy).
3. Harvey and Gek were returned to their home universe by either a technological
or magical beam employed by servants of the Throne of Worlds that used
neither of these methods.
Visiting other dimensions is perilous, largely because of the predatory
multiverse entity known as Tindalos. Hiding from Tindalos is the Sojourner's
best bet and the ways the party currently knows of are:
1. To bend the knee to the Throne of Worlds, a LN force that values obedience to
hierarchical order, taming the wild and dangerous facets of nature and
growing civilizations
2. Become a student of the Raven King, an arcane caster that has delved into the
secrets of the pathways between worlds and used them to his own advantage
3. Eat a piece of Tindalos and become one of its many mouths, in so doing you
get feed instead of be food but you will suck at parties forevermore
4. Learn the "Shaded Way" an arcane practice that learned from how Tindalos does
what it does without being at its unsatiable whims. They feed on Sojourners
and psychic casters, but exactly how is not somethinf the party knows.

# Party Information and News
# Salvage Contracts
Salvage contracts, listed from easiest and least profitable, to hardest and most lucrative.
#### Unnamed cave \[Completed!\]
Thought to have been a bandit hideout, now the home of a handful of wargs guarding a small loot pile.
##### Synopsis:
Kaldur scouted the cave, and found 5 wargs sleeping in a large cavern. He silently killed each of the wargs, enabling the caravan to pick the cave dry!
There was a rotting human in a small offshoot from the cave.
##### Results:
- 150 gold pieces
- Battleax, x2
- Short sword
- Leather Armor
- Studded Leather Armor \[payment to the army\]
- Masterwork dagger (to Kaldur)
- Potion of Cure Light Wounds (to Boobons)
#### Halfing Empire Counting House \[Completed!\]
Likely defended by contructs and or undead, probably good deal of coinage and old documents stored there
##### Synopsis:
The party came upon the ruins: sandstone walls, in poor repair, in a circle around a building of sandstone brick, in much better shape. At some point, the building may have been magically protected. In the courtyard, was a lion beast of chaos: a lion with black fur, and infused with chaotic energies.
As the party approached, the cat noticed them, and prepared for attack. Harvey charged it, triggering a pounce, but avoiding it. He deftly dealt with the creature.
Gek decided to skin the cat while Kaldur unlocked the front door.
Inside was a small main room, a small side room, and a vault door. In the main room, they dealt with a number of skeletons. In the small side room, the party encountered a floating ball of fire with black teeth: a fire phantom. The party relentlessly assaulted it, beating it into a pile of burnt up mush.
After Kaldur unlocked the vault door, they found a number of crates, and a sand golem. After a surprisingly difficult combat, the party loots the place dry!
##### Results:
- Small Scimitar \[to the army\]
- Small Masterwork Falcata \[to the army\]
- Precious stones, gold bars, and coins totaling 3083 \[minus army's cut\]
- Furniture \[to the army\]
- Treasurer's Seal Amulet (to Kaldur)
- Assorted mundane papers and scrolls (to Boobons)
#### Delvin's Drop
A dungeon down a long, dark shaft (if you take my meaning) it is an interconnected series of rooms underground filled with traps. In the hallways, arrows fly, seemingly, from nowhere.
#### Cranoc's Hill
A bunch of ogres have built around an old ruin. The ogres have amassed a small horde of treasure, and the fortifications are relatively poor. The ruins extend into the mountains. Expect ogres, traps, possible outsides, and possible undead.
