- Nathandrix is lost - The group have to find captain Bartimaeous of the pirate ship Corgi. - They decide to go through the mountains so they purchase climb kits - Val does a survey of immediate area and there is a path a few miles west into mountains - Near the town crops have been trampled by battle and there are spots of infected earth - People are working to decontaminate. They burn the ground and then magic users freeze it - Moving through light woods there are no animals. Trees have been chewed on - Settle for the night in a rocky area and stagger watches - Continuing the next day terrain becomes mostly rocky so travel becomes scrambled - They come to a ravine, about 150ft down and 200 ft across.

DarWynn's feline features curled into an uncomfortable sneer as the hircine monster holding her face inched the knife through her fur. Although she'd been interrogated before, this marked the first time since her mutation that anyone had forcefully shaven facial hair off as an intimidation tactic.
"How did you break in," Scryar repeatedly translated from the monsters' unintelligible language.
"You need to just answer the questions, DarWynn," he plead.
"We didn't break in!" She answered.
Scryar sighed and reluctantly translated DarWynn's eighth consecutive denial.
The monsters had shocked her with electrified irons to begin the interrogation, but could not continue without knocking her unconscious.
More monster gibberish followed as the shaving continued.
"Who is your Jack Coat leader?"
"What the hell is a Jack Coat?"
DarWynn did try to explain herself, relating the barel

An elegant lizard being leans toward her companion and says, “So you heard about how the group of adventurers insulted and badgered an ancient stone bear warrior into helping them, right? The bear opened a portal that was supposed to take the adventurers where they wanted to go.
The mirror portal transported them to a hallway. The hallway was filled with fog. In one direction, they heard moaning. Davian decided to go first into the fog and darkness and promptly disappears. The moaning stops. And Kat takes this opportunity to put on her armor.
A voice is heard in the fog urging the group forward. Darwynn is called forward towards the fog. She sees a light behind Davian and tells him NOT to go into the light but it turns out that the light is coming from a room and is not a tunnel of light to the afterlife.
Davian tells Darwynn that there is someone she needs to meet. Darwynn goes forward and looks into the room. She sees a mud pit and a crouching c

"Well, doc, I remember waking up on the side of a volcano where I was completely enveloped in a marshmallow. I woke up to several people who claimed to be my friends. I stood up and was urged to climb to the top of this volcano. I was disoriented because I could see no horizon, no sky. Only this volcano with this giant marshmallow oozing out of it."
"Sounds like a pleasant dream if you like marshmallow."
"I hate marshmallow."
"Sorry, please continue."
"So as I was saying, in this dream we all marched to the top of this volcano. At the top we could see that lava is flowing out of the opposite side from where we climbed, but there was a hole in the center of the volcano crater. I jumped into the hold only to find that gravity was different inside the tunnel so instead of a hold it became a long hallway. These 'friends' of mine followed me down the tunnel until we came upon a platform sur

The party that defeated demons and restored a draconic guardian in Covenant spent the first hours of its interplanar jaunt tossing worthless coins off a floating plaform.
Between the platforms that mattered, two fifty-by-fifty squares floating in a pink sea of unknowable sky, lay a bridge, forty feet below them, of five smaller platforms. At intervals of 18 seconds apiece, they shot flames upwards all the way up the forty-foot difference. The jump down to the first platform seemed dangerous enough, but to be pressed to then jump the remaining platforms, then figure out how to climb back up forty feet to the destination platform seemed impossible. So there we sat, tossing small change to study the physics of the dimension, and pretending to ignore the stark reality of our situation.
I searched the platform twice. I poked each tile, stood up and stomped on them. The way forward clearly lay over the bridge of fiery detonation. DarWynn even fired arrows across, bu

"Why?" I asked in disbelief. The monstrosity, barely qualifying as a fish at all, was made of stone, the size of my torso, trying to bite me, and pinning me down to the bottom of our boat. As bad an idea as holding onto it seemed, I couldn't think of a better plan.
"HOLD THE FISH," Katagume stated firmly. "It's OURS."
Ours. DarWynn's half-sister, Katagume "Kat" the half-orc, had joined our crew after a night of heavy drinking. We had to fill out the rest of the party after the tragic losses of Yalandra and Lead Tiger, and the mysterious disappearance of Myrna. Adventurers see a pretty high turnover rate these days, with all the demon invasions and possessed Dragons. The city of Covenant built a statue of old Lead Tiger. I feel like he probably would have enjoyed beating a fungus-monster to death with it. The legend of Lead Tiger's last stand had proven useful in recru
