TTB: E37 - Katrina in the sky, with diamonds

Having made their way down the mountain to the town of Parnast, our heroes were waylaid by a group of cultists left behind to cover the departure of the flying castle, Skyreach. Afterwards, while searching the local stable, they were able to gain control of two trained wyverns and take to the skies in pursuit of the slowly departing castle.

24th Jul 2022

TTB: E31 - Carnath Roadhouse

Having followed the cultists all the way to the Carnath Roadhouse, on the edge of the Mere of Dead Men, most of the party is camped out in a blind just outside the compound while Chance is disguised as a traveller that joined the convoy just north of Waterdeep. The cultists' contraband has been unloaded into a warehouse and now our heroes are playing a waiting game to see where they take it next.

TTB: E30 - Waterdeep

After two months on the road, our heroes are about to arrive in Waterdeep. There they will have to try to keep tabs on the cultists they have been following in order to determine where they go next and in hopes of them leading them to clues about the whereabouts of Ceasar's parents.

TTB: C1E22 - Through the woods and over the river (Part 2)

The Bound have run afoul of the Darkhand Cartel in Scardale Town and booked a hasty retreat, but that has not deterred them from their intentions to put an end to the slaving that's happening in the Dalelands and Cormanthor. They have found the sentry line surrounding the camp and have laid an ambush for the sentries that Urirel and DIGE are leading back away from the line. What will happen next?!

We will complete character backgrounds and set the stage for the campaign before embarking on our starting adventure.


It has been a little over a decade since the Spellplague came to an end. The once peaceful and drowsy Dalelands have become distrustful and unwelcoming; with good reason. The last, covert, vestiges of Sembian (and thus Netherese) influence have been expulsed from the region and the people of the Dales have begun to rebuild and heal.   However, stories spread of strange activity deep in Cormanthor; and the waters of the Sea of Fallen Stars, while replenished by the Great Rain, have been increasingly dangerous to travel. All the while, amongst scholars and practitioners of the arcane arts, rumours abound that something is not quite right with the Weave.
