Chapter Eleven: Let’s Eat!

Our party owes much to Eliana Cooper. Not least of which is maintaining the proper priorities in regards to regular meal times. When possible, Elie eats Hin-style.  Meaning several more food-stops each day than Elodie - eager, impatient, and driven - and Vaikner - contemplative, curious, and distracted - are accustomed to. Still, they were... Continue Reading →

Chapter Fourteen: Characters

Pesky and eventually competent guard at the Court of the White Bull: NPC, Human male, we initially encounter him snoring at his post but, due to entirely understandable circumstances mostly beyond Elodie’s control, he does eventually wake up. And becomes a slight impediment to our speedy and stealthful departure from the stable. Elodie practices guile.... Continue Reading →

Chapter Fourteen: Stable Condition.

25th Mirtul, Year of Three Ships Sailing (1492 D.R.), perhaps an hour before high moon. We find our friend on the flower-wreathed hill where we first met Aundra; at the monument to the Battle of Waterdeep. Vaikner has wisely chosen an elevated vantage point for his watch. And his guard must have been quiet. He... Continue Reading →

Chapter Thirteen: Raising Questions.

25th Mirtul, Year of Three Ships Sailing (D.R. 1492) - nine bells after highsun. “Oh good. You came back.” Eliana’s voice carries only a hint of impatience but she is stalking the crypts like an irritated snow lynx. “Yes. We found the stew.” I say happily. “Well, I’ve found traces of the spell casting. I... Continue Reading →

Chapter Ten: Let’s Eat!

Charred Grapes and Halloumi Cheese Skewers, marinated and grilled. Serves 6-8 as a side dish. Our adventurers (and adventurous cooks) may still be recovering from the sausage in a bun marathon of last session (and GenCon and GenCon-Covid and house-move-in-progress). And the food options at the Blackstaff’s Tower were a little sparse. Or rather, our... Continue Reading →

Chapter Twelve: Characters.

Saer Ambrosius Everrest: NPC, Human male, Doomguide of Kelemvor and Keeper of the City of the Dead, Chevall in the Order of the Gauntlet. A little grim, maybe a touch overly formal, definitely sleep-deprived. But very pleasingly…devout. So refreshing to meet another knight who appreciates the proper satisfaction gained from smiting evil. And he is... Continue Reading →

Chapter Eleven: A Grave Concern.

25th Mirtul, Year of Three Ships Sailing (1492 D.R.) - six bells after highsun. Six Bells strikes as we leave the Blackstaff’s Tower behind us. The Halls of Justice are nearby. This part of the Deep is still bathed in golden light. But, as the sun approaches the restless sea- horizon, the shadow of Mount... Continue Reading →
