A Night in Hell

by Errin Lonewood

I had another brush with dark magic. I had hoped I'd never have to experience anything like that wizard's mind trick ever again, but fate saw things differently for me. After we witnessed the brutality of that horrific massacre, we went to take a rest and woke up in a strange crimson landscape, surrounded by what appeared to be giant hairs of an impossibly large creature. It didn't take long for us to realize that we're in a hellish dimension of sorts and that the old hag hit us with a spell. I tried to keep my composure and wake up from this, believing that this was just another magical mind trick, but I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried to remind myself that none of this was real, I couldn't bring myself back to my senses. I was stuck in this unholy realm, witnessing tortured souls locked in cages, creatures more twisted and spiteful than what the halfling mind can conjure tearing at eachother in a spiritual war, and a never ending blood red sky storming across the horizon. I tried to find my parents, the fire, or any semblance of the previous nightmare scenario spell I had, but I couldn't find them. I tried calling these hallucinations out, hoping to just get it over with as quickly as possible, but they wouldn't present themselves. I tried taking control of this scenario when Avantis started slapping me, yelling at me to head for this skull shaped pavilion with the rest of my friends. All of a sudden I heard an infant's crying come out of the sky and saw a mutated travesty of pure evil slither its way through a portal and my god, it's face. I'd never seen anything so horrible in my life. It appeared to be a demonic aborted fetus, but with the power and strength of a god. By that point I'd begun to realize that this wasn't the same nightmare sequence I'd faced last time; this was something darker than that, more evil than that. When we came to, the treacherous hag had disappeared, I tried calming my friends down, letting them know that this was just an evil dream cast upon us and that I'd already experienced something similar when out of the blue, Avantis showed up with a third eye on his forehead. Salinor proved it was real when he poked at it, causing Avantis to spit out an earful of words I'd rather not repeat. Shade couldn't contain his laughter for the life of him, and I just sat there, awestruck and distraught at everything that had happened. All in all, it was a pretty decent night, considering the circumstances and I'm sure it goes without saying, but I really don't like dark magic.

The Council of Fae

After solving the code and passing the trial, we were welcomed into a gorgeous palace with a seemingly endless supply of food. The fae regarded us as heroes for eliminating a few "hob goblins" a few nights prior (probably referring to those cat people my ...

Between a Rock and a Hard Puzzle

Allen, please add details....

05:03 am - 24.10.2022

Keep your Enemies Far and Your Allies Farther

Oh man, these things are starting to get out of control! That attack from the other night didn't ever entirely end at all. It just simmered down. I don't think Shade is actively trying to hurt me or anyone else for that matter. I think he was cast under t...

07:27 am - 10.10.2022

Shade and Dagger

I don't know where to begin. I'm shaking even while I'm writing this. I don't think Shade is entirely who he claims to be. I don't fully understand what happened earlier this night, but I'll try to recount the actions piece by piece. Maybe it'll help me r...

05:10 am - 04.10.2022

Spinning Stone

So just yesterday, we arrived to this lovely quiet little town and might I say, this place is significantly more pleasant than any other place I've been to thus far. It's not quite as fun as Tordek, but it has a unique charm with its quaint, peace-loving ...

06:45 am - 26.09.2022

Spinning Stone

We just made it to Nodel's hometown, Spinning Stone and might I say this is one of the most beautiful small towns I ever had the privilege to experience...

05:24 am - 19.09.2022

Goblin Gore Galore

So, we almost lost to a goblin today. While on the path to --, we were caught off guard by a goblin that demanded "tribute". Shade acted first, providing a tribute ...

04:22 am - 19.09.2022

A Carnivorous Creepy Crow was Killed by my Colleagues

Just as I was mentally recovering from the massacre a couple nights ago, we stumbled into another fight to the death! This time it was with this large, winged crow lady. So get this, right? We wake up, I hear some singing. I tell my friends about it and w...

08:24 am - 05.09.2022

A Night of Carnage

I knew adventuring would be dangerous, but I didn't expect us to be the danger! I don't fully understand what just happened, but I just woke up to see our dragonborn coated in blood, sword in hand, with someone's severed head at his feet. At first I thoug...

07:00 am - 29.08.2022

Hiasynth and "Bella"

Month 11, ---- A few days ago, we met an odd and curious fawn with blonde hair, slanted eyes, and responses that are less straight and narrow than her legs. That said, there was no doubt that she knew more than what she was letting on, so earlier today...

04:49 am - 22.08.2022

The Enemy of my Unidentified Enemy is a Conundrum

Blackfrost 9th, ---- So, we followed a lead provided by our talkative otter friend (it turns out his name is Abraham) and it led us to a shrine of sorts in honor of (). This shrine wasn't left well enough alone however, some cluster of small goblin-lik...

A Lake Leads to Large Lanes Left by...well, something.

Blackfrost 10th, ---- ...

07:44 am - 15.08.2022

Damrel Walmer

So, I went out to meet a monk that the Guard we spoke with mentioned. Apparently this tall, blonde pointy-eared figure goes on strolls across a bridge from time to time. At first, I found it odd that he crosses the bridge for small talk, but I figured he'...

04:33 am - 01.08.2022

A New Journey?

I just came across a unique group of misfits in a tavern one evening when talk about a river that's flowing in reverse came up. Apparently, a few of them wish to investigate and will leave town in pursuit of such answers. Maybe this could be the start of ...

03:51 am - 01.08.2022

The Grass Was Greener

I'm starting to have second thoughts about this whole, independence thing. I'm all for freedom, but freedom costs an awful lot. I don't mean in gold, but rather in effort. When I had a crew, everything was organized and stable, everyone had a role and we ...

08:21 am - 25.07.2022

Parting Ways

So, I've been thinking about it for some time, and I decided that I should try to go it alone. I spoke with Tarbin, Rimin, Bellile and Perceus and we came to an understanding: they aren't leaving, but I have to. This can't be all there is to it. I can't...

Carlisle

Plumpfrost 11th, ---- I met a new friend today. A cordial chameleon found a cozy spot on my belly to rest for the night and woke me up by catching a fly off my nose. I'm not too sure what to call him yet. Maybe Zeke? Riley?...

05:51 am - 24.07.2022

Security or Self-Sovereignty?

Emberleaf 19th, ---- Things are getting a bit desperate these days. I don't doubt our loyalty towards eachother for a second, but everyone can see how each take is a little bit less than the one before it. That other gang doesn't seem to be letting up m...

05:50 am - 24.07.2022

An Absolute Failure

Emberleaf 13th, ---- Well, that couldn't have gone much worse shy of maybe a wizard waiting there to cast a nightmare spell on us again. The guards must have been tipped off about the places we were keeping an eye out for, or maybe they beefed up securi...

05:47 am - 24.07.2022

Flaking Faith

Emberleaf 9th, ---- Bellile seems a tad scared. Well, I guess we all are. We don't normally act as individuals. She keeps saying that Tarbin isn't on his own to keep an eye on us, but rather, that he's setting us up to take the fall. After everything we...

05:44 am - 24.07.2022

High Reward With an Even Higher Risk

Emberleaf 4th, ---- The day is almost here. I still don't know what exactly he's expecting, but he believes there's more potential in us all than we know - or at least, that's what he keeps telling us. This plan of his is for us to hit 4 different busin...

05:42 am - 24.07.2022

A New Lead?

Mistleaf 23rd, ---- Tarbin is talking about the "Day For The Lost". He sees some kind of potential for it. He keeps saying that we're wasting that day whenever we use it to nab a somewhat wealthy home or a somewhat well-stocked business. I don't know wh...

05:40 am - 24.07.2022

Regrettable Reminiscence

Mistleaf 18th, ---- It seems that just as soon as things calmed down, they went right back to normal. That group we like so much decided to make a social call, complete with rocks, bottles, arrows, and threats. I'm surprised we got out alive, though g...

05:37 am - 24.07.2022

The Harvest Festival

Mistleaf 16th, ---- Thank our merciful maker for the Harvest Festival. It's one of the only times in the year we can settle down not only as a small group, but as a full community overall. Security is ramped up in the days leading to it, but consideri...

05:36 am - 24.07.2022

A Fool's Errand

Mistleaf 5th, ---- That general store had just about everything we could ever need apart from the gold. I guess the owner knew something was coming or was just naturally paranoid. In this town, I could believe either possibility. We made off with some f...

05:34 am - 24.07.2022

Extortion by a Shadowbroker

Ashleaf 29th, Good news and bad news, we were spotted by some elf we supposedly stole from. I don't remember ever seeing him before, but maybe he remembers seeing us? Anyway, none of that matters now. He saw us sneaking in some motel and said he'd turn ...

05:32 am - 24.07.2022

Calamatic Carnage

Ashleaf 23rd, ---- We found the aftermath of that group we've been getting into scrapes with. Sometimes I just don't get people. I know I'm a thief, so I shouldn't be acting all high and mighty, but at least I can hide behind the fact that I don't real...

05:23 am - 24.07.2022

Nice Gnomes

Ashleaf 17th, ---- We met a few gnomes at a tavern earlier today, I liked them. They had some good stories and the positive energy to match. As much as I love the other halflings in my group, it's become obvious to me that we aren't always seeing thing...

05:21 am - 24.07.2022

Mind Mending

Ashleaf 12th, ---- That nightmare I had didn't really end after the event. I kept seeing it in my dreams for the next few days. Rimin suddenly became terrified of bugs, so he needed me to catch and send out any spiders he found It was decided by the gr...

05:19 am - 24.07.2022

...

Ashleaf 4th, ---- Yeah, we really shouldn't have touched that house. While returning his things, he must have caught us and hit us with something. So, there we were, Bellile and Tarbin keeping his attention at the front door, with Rimin and yours tru...

05:17 am - 24.07.2022

Fortune or Flounder?

Ashleaf 3rd, ---- We may have gone a little too far with the last take. We hit a 2-story den on the edge of town and made off with a reasonably good score, some heirlooms, an artifact, and some gold coins to make it worth the effort, but a beggar warne...

05:16 am - 24.07.2022

"Grimgrin"

Silversun 27th, ---- This other group we've gotten into a few scraps with are starting to sound pretty serious. An old friend told me there's this guy named Grimgrin; apparently he's supposed to be this goliath macho, ultimate badass sort. To take it a...

05:09 am - 24.07.2022

An Irregular Sight

Silversun 22nd, ---- Some of the people we meet in Tordek make up for the fact that we rarely stay anywhere for over a night. I just saw a dwarf barkeep run off a drunken half-orc with nothing but empty bottles and new words for the swear jar. Perceus...

05:05 am - 24.07.2022

Greed or Grievance?

Silversun 11th, ---- Tarbin and Bellile are at it again, she keeps going on about how she and her brother could make it without us and that Tarbin should split the take from each score more evenly. I guess she's kinda right. I mean, we did find them p...

05:02 am - 24.07.2022

The Great Escape

Goldsun 22nd, ---- We just busted Rimin out after he got into a scrape with some dwarven dockworkers. It turns out the guards normally keep a watchful eye on the docks for whatever reason. Anyway, Bellile told us what happened and Perceus came up with ...

04:57 am - 24.07.2022

One Dirty Hand Washes the Other

Goldsun 15th, ---- Note to self: local beggars are actually more helpful than you might think. I shared some coin with a friend in need and he ended up repaying me by telling me about a few safe spots to hide in if things get heated. It seems these hob...

04:55 am - 24.07.2022

A Small Skirmish

Goldsun 8th, ---- We just fended off a group of discount lackeys from that gang Tarbin was so scared of. I thought we were gonna cheese it when they called us out for an alley fight, but Perceus grabbed me by the back of the neck and said this is my ch...

04:49 am - 24.07.2022

Of Marbles and Mallets

Coppersun 17th, ---- Whelp, I now get why Tarbin was as concerned as he was. I think I broke my ankle hopping off a balcony after going for a solo hit. The owner came out with a sledge hammer and nearly killed me, cracking a few holes in his kitchen. I...

04:41 am - 24.07.2022

Forboding Conflicts

Coppersun 11th, ---- After the Tavern hit, Tarbin said we should be more careful about picking our targets, and suggested that Bellile speaks with the locals, to get an idea of where roughly these guys are. I tried explaining to him that we managed to ...

04:39 am - 24.07.2022

Fire bottles and new friends

Coppersun 8th, ---- It seems we aren't the only ones making the most of it out here. Some lowlifes took it upon themselves to attack us in the middle of a take. At first I thought this was the shop owners' security, but Tarbin told us they were in it f...

04:36 am - 24.07.2022

New Journal

Coppersun 5th, ---- Having been moving around Tordek these past few days, I figured this'd be as fine a time as any to start jotting things down. For starters, I'm Errin and I've been living with a small family throughout most of my life, constantly s...
