“There’s a light up ahead.” whispered Sasha. She quickly pulled up her cloak again and started to move quietly into the woods as the rest of the party awaited in a small patch of brambles hidden from the light. “Light used to be a good thing.” commented Cedris dryly. “That was before we got stuck… Continue reading A Fire in the Night

The Order of Things
The group camped on an overlook waiting for their prey to appear. The tension was starting to wear on the nerves of everyone. Lord Jessup was yelling at Alex and Weiland about even the smallest issue. “You get more firewood. Alex I need more water, get it now. When will the monster show it’s self?… Continue reading The Order of Things
An Elusive Quarry
The party followed along behind Weiland mile after mile. Hunting manticore being a difficult task seeing they can decide to just fly off when ever they feel like it. Several times they had to double back to find the trail again. Slightly breathless, the lordling Jessop inquired peevishly. “When are we going to get the… Continue reading An Elusive Quarry
A View Through the Trees
Weiland ventured forward, following the path which spread out before him, looking for a trace of the young manticore. The manticore’s tracks seemed to disappear and reappear almost randomly. He almost lost them several times. Sometimes a small tuff of fur or a cracked branch was the only signs he could find for half a… Continue reading A View Through the Trees
The Standing Stones
A flash of blinding green light… “What the hell just happened?” Shouted Sasha, looking around. The hillside seemed to blur in and out. A queasy feeling suddenly over took the party. Doric shook his head and pulled his sword. Looking confused, he growled lowly, “I don’t know. I can’t seem to make sense of it.… Continue reading The Standing Stones
Down into the Darkness
Doric moved the grate away and started to mount the ladder. The rungs are slick with moisture and emitting an odor he could barely describe. It smelt like an ungodly mixture of death and dung and wet earth. As he descended, his senses reached out into the darkness. Cedris and then Sasha following him down… Continue reading Down into the Darkness
At the Riverbend
Gasping for air, Cedris puffs out, “We (huff)… must (huff)… stop! I can’t (huff) go on much longer!” Sasha scanning behind says, “I think they’ve stopped following, but I can’t be certain. What think you El-Dris?” El-Dris, also rasping, says, “I think…we are clear.” Cedris falls to his knees and lets the travois settle to… Continue reading At the Riverbend
By the River and Through the Woods
Almost as soon as the party noticed all the sounds around them had ceased, Sasha heard a skittering behind them. She yelled, “Behind us, something is coming!” In an attempt to see between the trees, Sasha wove back and forth, jumping and racing through the woods. Ahead of her, rather large spiders appeared. Sasha screamed… Continue reading By the River and Through the Woods
Process Overview
It is my intention to run each scenario just the way I normally would run any normal game. Each combat and action depends on the roll of the dice to determine what succeeds or fails. I document each event as they happen staying true to the events as they unfold. I try to keep to… Continue reading Process Overview
A Crash in the Night
A great stew of boar meat and herbs allowed the party to be content for the first time since their arrival. With full bellies they arranged themselves around the campfire and soon fell asleep. Deep in the night, a sound pulls Cedris out of his meditations. He listens again and hears a deep snuffling sound… Continue reading A Crash in the Night
