Journey to Marquet (Recap from 10-13-23) (11th Unndilar 847PD) During the second night watch of the evening, some of the group were relaxing, looking out over the moonlit sea,  they noticed a flock of Seagulls circling something on the water below. Upon a closer search, there was something glinting on the surface of the water in the moonlight. The Captain called general quarters, and for the crew to ready the cargo crane and rescue basket. The ship spiraled down to within 30 feet of the ocean's surface. Here they spotted five ragged people sitting on a makeshift raft of wooden ship's wreckage lashed together with ropes. A first mate and four sailors were hauled up two at a time into the cargo hold of The Wind Dancer. The first mate, Miss Luna Moss said that three days ago the merchant ship Autumn was set upon by pirates intent on taking the cargo. Which was 60 tons of Marquetian Cotton. The captain tried to make a run for it, and the pirates fired on the ship. The cannons hit t...

  The Wind Dancer (Recap from 10-06-23) (Da’Leysen the 6th Unndilar 847PD) The group woke early and were served a nice breakfast. Franziska Hartmann , the head chef of The Wind Dancer, made really good offerings for each of the party, even going as far as making Zerhkwood spore porridge for Neheedra and Drivena, which surprisingly tasted just like the underdark fare they were used to. She also served her famous Morning Muffins (Everyone who eats one gained 10 additional hit points for the next 24 hours). After she served the muffins, she sang and played her dulcimer which granted all who heard, the “Something to fight for” boon. This boon offered, all who heard it, the ability to do  each of the following once:   Choose to automatically succeed on a saving throw  Negate a critical hit, turning it into a regular hit  Reroll damage dice for an attack. (though they must use the second result, even if it is lower.)  This applied for the next 24 hours. The excit...

The Next Adventure (Recap from 9-22-23) (Conthsen the 20th of Thunsheer) The group woke in the morning to the perpetually dark sky of Rosohna, under the hospitality of the Den Hythenos. The group was treated to Kryn cuisine which was not totally unlike the fare they would receive in the empire only with more mushrooms in place of other vegetables. After this Chardalyn took the heroes around the city showing the sights she had discovered there. As they walked the darkened streets a sweet heady fragrance caught their attention. The seductive aroma wafted from a special type of plant that grows year round in the darkness of Rosohna producing pale white almost bioluminescent flowers and small red berries with a spicy exotic (and intoxicating) scent. Certain areas of the city were thick with the alluring scent. One vendor they passed was selling bottles of wine made from an extract of those berries called ilhars-morn'lo. This wine is VERY potent inducing mild erotic auditory and visual ...

  After the Underdark (Recap from 9-22-23) (Miresen the 17th of Thunsheer) The group was invited to a feast at the royal palace as honored guests of King Brock Dummaroff and his daughter Eldeth and her friend Yirna. There were a lot of feasts and celebrations in honor of the trade routes finally being opened to Mantol Derith, and prosperity returned to Grimgolier. The stories of the hucksters heroes adventures group were told over and over as well as their success celebrated. After celebrating as much as they could, the group returned to their clan hall to relax and talk about the events of the past few months. Abnar checked on the profits from the Invictus pipeweed distributorship in Gringolir, while Mallik received a cryptic message from Ophelia as well as a delivery of 3 weeks worth of profit sharing for his help and discretion supporting the myriads dealings in the Drow city of Menzoberranzan. Also the myriad had made a special deal to buy the Drow prisoner Drivena for 2400 gp,...

  Demon Lord Showdown in Darklake (Recap from 9-15-23) (Whelson the 28th of Dualahei) As the battle continues, six Cambions make a mad dash for the imitation fog bank, made by the Theurgeme, to escape the Balor and four other demons pursuing them. Upon discovering the ship the demons attacked. The other demons joined in and a pretty intense battle ensued. At one point there was a huge explosion coming from where the demon lords were fighting, startling all in the area. The battle continued and eventually the demons were vanquished and the balor slain, exploding as he fell, dealing almost fatal damage to all within 30 feet. The explosion dissipated the artificial fog bank, and attracted the attention of the one remaining demon lord. Demogorgon came on fast, attacking the already weakened party. Before he could reach the boat he was hit by the powerful Theurgeme arcane cannons, further weakening the raging demon lord after an intense battle at the ship the group finally dispatched th...
