Fat Rat Games

Our prior session was a challenging touch and go battle for the party but they prevailed. After spending an “evening” hiding beneath a large mushroom cap, they headed for the ogre guarded bridge. We ended as six ogres came onto the bridge in response to the party ringing a bell, presumably placed there to attract the attention of the ogres.

This recap is from Thomas. Muse was missing so Bridgett (making another guest appearance) played Meri while RJ played Skarr along with Adran. Jubi’s comments, again, are in [brackets and italics].

At the end of the last session, the party had descended some 1,300 feet below the surface of an Underdark sea or lake or whatever the large body of water would be considered in their search for Morgil. They stumbled upon the lair of some skeletal fishman type creatures and a skeletal snake thing. Although the battle was difficult, they prevailed. The things had a rather large treasure hoard and that’s where we pick up after the break.

This recap is from Rachel. Muse was missing so Thomas played Meri while RJ played Skarr (who is now the group’s character since Todd isn’t playing anymore). Jubi’s comments, again, are in [brackets and italics].

When we last left the party, they had continued their search for a route back to Pedestal from the wilds of the Underdark. Encountering a group of duergar, they had spared one of them in the hopes of coercing him into aiding them. The grey dwarf led them to a rather precarious looking rope bridge that, he claimed, would lead to passages that could eventually lead them back to the Underdark city. Verrak and the duergar crossed the bridge first with the duergar leaping off a short distance across which is where we pick up after the break.

This recap is from Craig. Jubi’s comments, again, are in [brackets and italics].

When we last checked in on the party, the tunnel in which they were traveling had collapsed under them and left them trapped in some complex that was full of various slime type creatures. After having fought off yet another wave of such creatures, Adran heard a voice in his head saying, “Hi! What’s your name?”

This recap is from Thomas. Muse was missing and so Thomas played Meri while RJ played Skarr along with Adran. Jubi’s comments, instead of mine, are in [brackets and italics].

There are definite spoilers below for the module, The Sinister Spire as well as a small bit from Out of the Abyss.

UK meaning, of course, the UnderdarK. As our last session came to a close, an unseen attacker ambushed the party with an arrow streaking towards Adran but we stopped before the attack could be resolved. Actually, before it was announced as I actually rolled a crit but kept it hidden from all but RJ. We pick up this session with the arrow strike.

This recap is from Craig and we had a rare full table. My GM comments, as usual, are in [brackets and italics].

At the end of the last session, the party found themselves in a place that they learned was called the Great Grotto somewhere deep in the Underdark. They really have no idea exactly where they are in relation to Cagair Keep or Migdhal Yar…such is the nature of an Earth Node. Skarr and Dench had purchased a whole bunch of silk from a helpful and friendly duergar merchant named Bruthwol and had learned just a little bit of information.

This recap is from RJ. Todd and Thomas were both missing. Muse played Skarr while Rachel played Verrak. My GM comments, as usual, are in [brackets and italics].

When we last left the party, they had found the treasured earth node along with a bunch of duergar…both living and already killed. Having defeated hordes of cockroaches, both small and giant, they had decided to retreat back to the safety of Cagair Keep before investigating the earth node more. Heading back through the main level of Migdhal Yar, they spotted one of the dworcs lying face-down, dead. An all too familiar cackling laughter was heard as an also all too familiar green glow could be seen approaching.

This recap is from Muse. RJ and Craig were both missing. Bridgett made a guest appearance and played Dench while Thomas played Adran. My GM comments, as usual, are in [brackets and italics].

As our last session came to a close, the members of the party that were inside Migdhal Yar had finally gotten to a location where they could attack the flaming skull creature that had been periodically attacking them with magical fire from a distance. The thing was joined by some skeletons and then an undead elf of some sort. That last creature was wielding a famous elvish blade, Morgil also known at the Questing Blade. Meri was quick to snatch this up. As she did, the sound of shuffling walking could be heard coming from down one of the nearby corridors and so the party prepared for more battle…that’s were we pick things up after the break.

This recap is from Todd. My GM comments, as usual, are in [brackets and italics].
