Fat Rat Games

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].

There are definite spoilers below for the module, The Sinister Spire.

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].

Our last session was dominated by lots of walking and exploring of the upper level of the keep of Migdhal Yar. At the end, they had succeeded in finding the mechanism to opening one of the portcullises protecting the keep’s entrance but not the second. Even with Adran’s magics, Skarr and Verrak wouldn’t be able to shrink down to a size that could squeeze through the “arrow” slits above. So, Dench transformed into a rat, slipped through the narrow gap between the bars of the second portcullis, and went to open the large double doors going into the keep. We pick up this session with the party separated and Dench steeling himself to explore alone.

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

When we stopped our last session, the party had found the entrance to what they believe is Migdhal Yar proper, a set of massive stone double doors protected by two thick, heavy portcullises. It didn’t look like anyone had been here in, well, pretty much forever. We pick up this session with the group trying to determine how to get past the fortifications.

This recap is from Muse. Todd had to miss another session so Thomas played Skarr. My GM comments, as usual, are in [brackets and italics].
