They destroyed the spider and crossed the gate, but were intercepted my more Drow elves. These Drow claimed that they had been trailing the team of surfacers for some time and was collecting information on them. The leader of this group, a woman named Ishtar, offered something of a deal between them, but first said that she will escort them to Menzoberranzan, the Drow city and the party's goal. Without much of a choice, they decided to follow Ishtar and her team. At her compound, Ishtar told the party that she and her cadre sought to revolutionize Menzoberranzan and bring about radical change to her people ...

He led the party of surfacers into an ambush aong with several other drwo elves. The teams battled against one another on the bridge, trading blows and the like until a familiar phenomenon occured: the same eerie mist that appear when they destroyed the Gulthias Tree materialized at the far end of the bridge. However, this time, the mist was not so docile. A face seemed to apparate from within the mist, and that face seemed to be able to intantly consume the soul of its victim. In this case, the victim was one of the Drow.  After the creature appeared, the remaining Drow began to abandon their plan a...

Over Troubled Water CAST: Berov - Loxodon Cleric Mordai Scropen - Tiefling Sorcerer Glacian Icebreaker - Dragonborn Fighter Myev the Honourable - Half-orc Paladin NPCs: Sir Braford - Human Paladin Sharwyn Hucrele - Human Wizard The players spent the majority of this session spelunking and scouting the surrounding area of the Underdark, with the guidance of Darrus, the Drow they “rescued” earlier and Zaria plotting the course ahead of you all. Berov, Myev, and Mordai all explored the chambers outlying the main path to the Drow city Darrus mentioned. They were able to find several items including health potions, a warhammer called the Gavel of Tenebrosity, a Druegar set of armor called the Armor of the Stone Guard, a pair of gauntlets called the Bracers of Geomancy, a Potion of the Caverns, and a mysterious belt adorned with a human face called the Girdle of Mockery.  The gavel seems like a slightly stronger warhammer, Mordai knew the Potion of Cavern...

Swiftly defeating the lot of them, they were able to free Mordai of his possession.  They returned to camp and stayed the night outside of the Underdark entrance with the intent to depart through the tunnels and hopefully find a way out. After some exploring, they came across a distressed drow named Darrus, who claimed he was trying to escape the madness of life in the Underdark and joined them in search of an exit. He advised the party to explore some of the surrounding chambers for loot before continuing. After some mushroom-related adventures, Mordai and Myev found a healing potion and a Gavel of Te...

This is a world where players assume the role of an original character and take a chance with dice rolls and complete a multitude of actions both individually and as a part of a team! Monroe County 4-H in upstate NY began its inaugural D&D campaign virtually back in May and has recently supassed ten weeks of adventuring... yay us!

They had all taken up work with the Proteus Guild, a neutral institution that accepts job requests from citizens and deploys guild members to carry out those missions. However, tensions betwe...
