Okay…first off, we never really went away; we just went somewhere else (over here at Fat Rat Games’ Pathfinder Campaign Blog). Since this site went quiet, we’ve been doing a couple of different things. We’ve been playing some Pathfinder as well as doing some stuff that I can’t talk about…pesky non-disclosure agreements. 
I’m also looking for some new players to join our group soon. A couple of players are leaving town and so we’ll have some open seats at our table. If anyone in Tallahassee is looking for a game, get in touch with me.
We recently took a break from both of the above projects and got some more Hellfrost in! Only Rachel, Jamie, and Todd could make the session so we had the return of Wulfwynn, Cuðbert, and Taranis for a session. This is one of the things that I love about Savage Worlds…it is so damn easy to throw a game together on short notice. Hellfrost makes it even easier with the Hellfrost Encounters book! I grabbed a couple of encounters from the book…What Goes Up (Encounter #1) and, sort of, Hold the Line (Encounter #24) so guess what…
Spoiler Alert: There are spoilers from the Hellfrost Encounters Book 1…encounter #1 and #24 to be specific.
Unlike most of the other posts about our sessions, I wrote this instead of one of the players. Oh, we haven’t played Savage Worlds (much to the chagrin of some) for about five or six months so we were a bit rusty.

Below is the latest session writeup for our Stonehell Labyrinth Lord campaign…written by RJ.
We pick up where we left off with Bambi, Charity, Pedro, and the newly joined PCs, Hope and Noah, along with Pedro’s first hireling, Donnick the mercenary turned torchbearer, approaching the curtain wall.
Todd wasn’t able to make this session and Jamie took on the role of Hope along with Bambi.
My comments in brackets and italics as usual.
Warning: There are, of course, spoilers for Stonehell below.

Below is the first session writeup for our Stonehell Labyrinth Lord campaign…written by Rachel. I’ve got this tagged as Session #1a since it was our first “Stonehell” session so to speak but our second with these characters (or most of them at least).
We picked up with Bambi, Charity, and Pedro having “fled” the goblin caves leaving the looted bodies of their companions behind.

After our Back to Basics session, I decided that we’ll keep playing some Basic D&D…albeit the Labyrinth Lord version…for a bit before getting back to Savage Worlds and Hellfrost. I picked up Stonehell Dungeon by Michael Curtis and that is what I’ll be running instead of Keep on the Borderlands…actually something of a combination of the two. For a couple of good reviews of Stonehell, check out the review at Grognardia and A Paladin in Citadel. I don’t recall any spoilers in either review but if you’re worried about such, don’t read ‘em.
Potential Spoilers for Stonehell Dungeon below the break!

So we’ve had some changes to our player lineup, a short break due to my travels, ended our last Hellfrost session on a bit of a sour note, and had a visiting player from out-of-town joining us. I didn’t, given this situation, want to run the normal Hellfrost campaign but we certainly wanted to do some gaming since Pat, our visitor, doesn’t really get to game much (if at all) in those lovely North Carolina mountains that he now calls home. So…what to do?

[This entry is from Kathryn. RJ and Todd missed this session. Drew came over again and played Skuli while Jamie played Taranis.
My GM comments in brackets and italics as usual.
Spoiler Alert: There is a small amount of carryover from the Hellfrost Encounters Book 1...encounter #7 to be specific...from last session but most of this session was all homemade. It was, however, inspired by an old AD&D (2nd Edition) module called Temple, Tower & Tomb...mostly the map but even that was significantly altered.]

[This entry is from Thomas and is from the Journal of Karaphos...which means all the names are spelled wrong. I've added the correct names.
RJ and Jamie missed this session. Drew came over again and played Cuðbert.
My GM comments in brackets and italics as usual.
Spoiler Alert: Some portions of this session borrow from the adventure, Stolen Land, by Paizo. I've borrowed some locations, etc. and changed to protect the innocent. One encounter is also from the Hellfrost Encounters Book 1...encounter #8 to be specific.]

[This entry is from Jamie. Thomas missed this session. Drew came over again and played Karaphos (and did the old coot justice too)...pretty soon he's going to have played everyone's character at least once!
My GM comments in brackets and italics as usual.
Spoiler Alert: Some portions of this session borrow from the adventure, Stolen Land, by Paizo. I've borrowed some locations, etc. and changed to protect the innocent. One encounter is also borrowed from the Hellfrost Encounters Book 1...encounter #10 to be specific...I say borrowed because I hadn't read the encounter for a couple of weeks and wasn't planning on using it. However, as you'll see, it was "needed" so I just went with the general feel/flow of the encounter rather than the specifics.]

[This entry is from Robert. Both Jamie and RJ missed this session. Todd took on Cuðbert while Kathryn and Cliff's son, Drew, came over to play Skuli. Robert was offered Cuðbert to play since his new character would not be coming into play right away and I did not know when he would come into play but he declined.
My GM comments in brackets and italics as usual.
Spoiler Alert: This session was largely taken up with an encounter from the Hellfrost Encounters Book 1...encounter #8 to be specific.]

Spoiler Alert: Some portions of this session borrow from the adventure, Hollow's Last Hope, by Paizo. There are also some potential spoilers for two of the encounters from the Hellfrost Encounters Book 1...encounters #4 and #18 to be specific.]
