Fat Rat Games

When we last left our explorers, they had survived betrayal and attack by the drow stationed at an outpost called Velkynvelve. Although one drow, possibly a priestess type, had escaped, they slaughtered all the rest, gathered additional supplies, and had freed eight of ten prisoners (killing a drow prisoner and leaving behind a kuo-toa who was way too “enlightened” for their tastes). We pick up with their final preparations before departing the outpost after the break.

This recap is from Thomas. Muse and Craig were missing this session. Bridgett made a guest appearance to play Dench while RJ played Meri. As Jubi was still missing, I guess it’ll by my comments back again in [brackets and italics].

There are possible spoilers for part of Out of the Abyss from Wizards but much was changed.

In our last session, the party pressed on in their Underdark travels back towards Pedestal. Skarr fell in battle against hook horrors and gnolls. A new ally joined the group, Fletcher, who has ties to Caill Dafad! And Jubi learned that there are, indeed, those in the Underdark who are successful at romance…or at least have a date with a drow. By the end of the session, the party had just arrived at the entrance to the drow outpost, Velkynvelve and that is where we pick up after the break.

This recap is from RJ. Everyone was at this session. Jubi’s comments, again, are in [brackets and italics].

Lions, tigers, and bugbears, oh my! That’s where we left off at the last session. The party had just defeated a rather large band of bugbear slavers marching through with about a half dozen chained gnomes. We pick up with the party freeing those gnomes that survived the fight as well as the pair of bugbears who surrendered.

This recap is from Muse. Thomas and Rachel were missing so RJ (I believe) played Verrak while Dave played Rory and Skarr. Jubi’s comments, again, are in [brackets and italics].

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.
