  • Summary LIX: What Is Known About the Deathstealers

    It is clear from divinations and communes that the supernatural LE force is
    in charge in that part of the castle. Specifically, according to the Grim,
    that is the Citadel, which Beck had previously told us was separate from the
    other sections of the Castle Bah Nareth.
    Divination: Creatures there are vastly powerful (compared to Letier). Very
    rich treasure in the area…Forces of LE, vastly dominant, chances of
    disturbing are moderate to high.
    Any earlier reference by the Sphinx places possibilities of Ghouls very
    high. Specifically, he never mentioned the DeathStealers.

  • Summary LVIII: Return of the Stone Soules

    In the aftermath of “that Dark Servant thing,” the Stone Soules begin a
    downtime… (triumphant music)
    Many trades were made in Cromwell, and by Eli at the School of Wizardry,
    including the necessary teleport-damping devices and Protection from Devils
    scroll in preparation for the upcoming assault on the deathstealers.
    Ceydric autotrained.
    Eli waited and the School of Wizardry while the party continued to
    Petethal. At Teft, Sahrak left to train, Xavier trained locally, and Lorm
    was contacted. Lorm agreed to join the Stone Soules in the attack on the
    deathstealers, with all the protection he could amass. He also brought
    Serin, his henchman mage (and an arsenal of items). In addition, Xavier
    picked up two henchman– a cavalier of House Maxwell, and a fighter/mage–
    as yet unnamed.

  • Summary LVI: The Stone Soules vs. the Dark Servant– The Final Chapter

    Ok here goes:
    We tried the proposed -Find the Path- scroll and it failed– it turned out
    to be nearly impossible for it to work.
    Xavier -Aid-ed himself and touched the robe, then put it on. Nothing out of
    the ordinary happened and the robes were deemed safe for clerics as well.
    With Star helping mentally, Raven looked up at the runes and got the message
    about the three rooms. Hoping that maybe picking a fruit with a
    non-personal aura object like a sword would prevent the damage, Rangorn
    swung at the branch with his knife.
    Out of character: the first of a thrilling series of rolls by your truly.
    Edwin said: don’t roll a one– and I did.
