Chapter Fifteen: A Guiding Hand.

26th Mirtul, Year of Three Ships Sailing (1492 D.R.), just before dawn. I wake in the shy light that comes before true morning. It is the twenty-sixth of Mirtul and the night of the New Moon is two days away. This thought brings me to full awareness. I begin to stretch and then freeze, abruptly... Continue Reading →

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 →
