4U Sessions 5-8 Logs
Homebrew Campaign (Alternate Forgotten Realms)
DM Note
I haven’t done a good job of keeping up the logs. January/February was cold, freezing cold, and we missed a lot of RPG time; February/March also saw work schedules getting in the way of game time, but we have managed to get together and roll the dice a few times. We also skipped a week to go watch the movie READY PLAYER ONE. We may miss again soon for AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. Since the campaign is starting to get settled, I’ve been doing more DM prep (though, hilariously, I’ll plan for the team going left and they’ll go right causing me to still improvise more – but that’s ok because it’s fun).
Session 5:
This adventure was framed around the team being assaulted by the ooze-infected earth elemental at the beginning (with him stealing Puff’s crown) and then the team ultimately tracking him down and defeating him (to get the crown back). Along the way, they also explored the swampy underground mines/tunnels (killing the nagas/guards who warned them of the snake people living under the hills). They also found magic gems with elementals trapped inside (one of which Puff used to defeat the ooze-infected earth elemental). In the end, the singing sword was encased in gem. Also, the old mayor and Red’s mom were killed by the main enemy; the team went back to the village and helped the druid Halfling Barefoot become the new mayor.
Session 6:
Not wanting to face the bandits at their hideout just yet – Kori, Puff, and Frazzle decided to explore the well underneath Grandma’s old house in the woods while Aegle spent some downtime making Puff bone armor. The team met “Kelp” (who looked like a water genasi gnome and seemed to be a warlock of some strange power in the swamp south of the forest), who joined them. In the tunnels under the well, the team also befriended the young black dragon “Acidfire” who had been looking for the ancient Netherese treasure vault he called the Obsidian Fang. They got barrels from town and went to the Ryali statue to fill them with holy water – but ended up leaving them behind. Acidfire and Kelp died while helping the team defeat the enemies at the bandit HQ (which included Vivacious the succubus and the young necromancer). The team destroyed Kelp’s strange idol and brought Acidfire’s dead body back to Tholmme, where Barefoot reincarnated him as a half-elf.
Session 7:
Barefoot (who was sick with a magical curse) assigned Kori, Puff, Frazzle, and Acidfire to find out why the river was drying up; they left a note for Aegle, who flew out and joined them as soon as he could. Their investigation led them to the hills, where they had to kill 2 hill giants and fight a yuan-ti who called himself Mr. Underhill; the yuan-ti escaped after telling them a rumor about a silver dragon living nearby. The team found the Bayou Brigade’s wooden fort in the swamp with water elemental symbols; they were a team of mostly lizardfolk warriors who served the ancient black dragon of Stormkeep and had a death cleric shaman lady. Puff agreed to take the oath to serve the old dragon and the next day the team met “The Dark Lady” (half-black dragon) to give magic items as tribute and arrange for a message for a future meeting with him. The Dark Lady gave them the magical cure for Barefoot and agreed to use their water elemental connections to restore the river. The team returned to the village and saved Barefoot. After six days, the river returned to normal.
Session 8:
[Module: 4E Scepter Tower of Spellgard]
Puff finally had enough time to figure out treasure locations from the book Old Gnawbone had given him, matching them up from that universe to this one. Kori, Puff, Frazzle, and Acidfire decided to go to the nearby ruins of Spellgard in hopes of getting treasure there. They left a map and note for Aegle and headed off, killing 4 ettercaps on the way. Aegle joined them after the battle. Outside Spellgard was a monastery inhabited by an obviously evil rival adventuring party (that called themselves the FCC). The FCC had already cleared the catacombs, but agreed to let the party clear out the tower; the team killed ettercaps, spiders, gnome warriors, and gnome wizards; only Kori, Puff, and Aegle survived. They then, with the help of some kobolds, had to kill the 5 FCC team members (thus rescuing a captured wererat). When another wave of enemies (an oni with 8 kobolds who served the master gnome wizard) came at them, the team intimidated them into leaving.
Kori, Puff, and Aegle made it to the Bayou Brigade Fort and paid to have Frazzle and Acidfire resurrected by the frogfolk druid/cleric (with a snake holy symbol). They spent days waiting to hear back from the ancient dragon of Stormkeep. Puff went through the initiation ritual to become an official shaman for the fort and got to know the guards. Aegle spent time with the strange old human smith lady with a shop there. Kori paid 500 gp to cure the wererat/human fighter they rescued from the FCC (and spent time befriending him).
