Vocath's Arena

Allies enlisted

We've enlisted the aid of multiple factions in our battle against the empire. Let's hope they focus all their fighting against the empire instead of each other.

Reached level 8

After defeating three rounds of foes in Vocath's arena, we've managed to reach level 8.

Vocath's Arena

Having no other apparent options for enlisting aid against the Xaryxian Empire, the four party members - including the recently rescued Valana - have agreed to Vocath's terms of fighting three consecutive rounds in his combat arena. The party was granted ...

05:54 pm - 27.11.2022

We're in the midst of proving our worth to Vocath in order to gain his aid. He's tasked us with surviving three consecutive rounds of combat in his arena. So far, we've passed 2 of them, but not without the loss of our newest companion Valana, who succumbed to her injuries near the end of the second combat. We can only hope the party gets off to a better start for round 3 so as not to be placed on the back foot right from the start.

Off to Doomspace

After defeating Gargenhale's mutinous crew, we made our way to the brig. There, in the two cells were two elves, one female and one male. The female, dressed in fine clothing, carries herself with the air of nobility. The male, upon espying who has come t...

08:44 pm - 18.11.2022

We have allied with the princess of the Xaryxian Empire, the heir to the throne. We now need to execute a plan to enlist enough help to break the blockade and deliver the princess to our world where she can perform a ritual to stop the destruction.

Retaking the Last Breath

The boarding party of Callot, Jade, Gary our mercenary, Gargenhale and his two crew mates aboard the Moon Dancer made their leap through space towards Gargenhale's ship, The Last Breath. Unfortunately, our element of surprise didn't last as long as hoped....

08:49 pm - 10.11.2022

The Last Breath has been retaken

The mutinous crew put up a tough fight but we managed to prevail but it wasn't without cost. Callot was slain by a vampirate.

We've attained level 7

It was a tough fight against Gargenhale's mutinous crew, but the mission was accomplished.

The Vampirates

Enroute to the rendezvous with Topolah's contact, Commodore Krux spies a bunch of wreckage ahead of the Moon Dancer. Using his spyglass to get a better look at the situation, Krux immediately exclaims "to arms, to arms" as he puts his spyglass away and re...

11:17 pm - 24.10.2022

The Wizard Topolah

Luck was with our adventuring party. A pod of Kindori - a sort of space dolphin - appeared near the Moon Dancer. Thomas used his ability to communicated with animals and managed to convince the Kindori to tow the Moon Dancer to the wizard's tower in excha...

03:22 pm - 24.10.2022

Space is a strange place full of strange creatures - both hostile and friendly. A stroke of luck brought a pod of Kindori near the stranded Moon Dancer. Thomas was able to communicate with the creatures and convince them to give our ship a tow to the wizard Topolah's tower. After a brief negotiation with Topolah, she agrees to provide is with a globe that serves as a map of space if we take care of a creature that's been harassing her pets. It turns out this creature was quite large and had managed to almost kill Eeblock and Thomas, but with the help of the crew manning the weapons on the Moon Dancer, we were able to defeat the creature and not only acquire the globe, but also recruit Topolah to serve as our Spelljammer and pilot the ship to a contact of hers that owes her a favor and also hates the Xaryxian empire. She believes he will join our cause and lead his fleet to do battle with the Astral Elves.

Off to See the Wizard

Being confined to the ship for their own good, boredom began to set in. Eeblock had spent the entire time the ship was in port making repairs and Jade is simply not a patient person. Recognizing Callot as an able bodied fighter, the three of them decided ...

06:18 pm - 19.10.2022

Trouble on Braal

The elimination of the Xaryxian assassin did not go unnoticed by the town guard. Thomas quickly cast a spell to help obscure himself and his companions but wasn't quick enough. Jade and the homunculus immediately fled the scene without the aid of Thomas' ...

05:26 pm - 19.10.2022

We managed to bribe and persuade our way out of trouble with the guards. However, we lost Flapjack when the Moon Dancer was attacked out in space. Thomas attempted to use the Revivify scroll to bring him back, but was unable to successfully cast the spell. We are now adrift in space with a damaged helm and no Spelljammer.

The one thing we were warned to avoid doing on the Rock of Bral was getting in trouble. Well, trouble found us and now the law wants Thomas and Jade. This is going to complicate our plans unless we think of something quick.

Commodore Krux

The group's second full day in Bral began after another restful night at the Frothing Mug. Eeblock once again made his way to the Moon Dancer to work on repairs, leaving his homunculus with the party to aid and keep communications open. Harry leads the pa...

The Rock of Bral

Having defeated the dangerous creatures aboard the derelict Mind Flayer ship, the party was free to search it's cargo hold for additional treasure. While searching the ship, many dead bodies, both human and Mind Flayer, were found aboard the ship. There w...

10:13 pm - 26.09.2022

The Derelict Ship

As the Moon Dancer traveled through space, Thomas and Eeblock spent some time studying the manual that came with the helm provided by the gold dragon. Flapjack had relocated the helm below deck, adjacent to his quarters to keep it safe from potential thie...

A Bold New Voyage

As Flapjack - a flumph and our pilot - navigated Capt. Harry's ship the Moon Dancer ever higher and higher in the sky, the party could see the crystaline vines weren't just affecting the city of Arcadia but the entire kingdom. In fact, it became apparent ...

07:49 pm - 20.09.2022

Level 6, here we are.

After a particularly difficult fight against a brain eating spider like creature in space, Thomas, Jade and Eeblock have attained 6th level. Thomas has elected to take a level in Rogue to further aid the group in stealthy activities.

Chaos Erupts in Arcadia

After the strange sensation subsides, the party finds themselves in the basement of a building that resembles that of many of the structures in Lowtown. The entire building is quaking and rumbling. We quickly make our way upstairs and emerge onto the stre...

The Final Puzzle

The door from the chamber opened into an unlit hall. We carefully proceed about 50' down the hallway when it opens into a small chamber with a stone door on the opposite side. The door is flanked by pressure plates with the number 4 engraved on the wall a...

02:56 pm - 15.09.2022

The Comfy Room

Relieved that there was no trap sprung when the timer counted down to zero, the party made their way toward the new doorway that opened. Thomas lit a torch and took the lead. Through the door, he saw what appeared to be a comfortable chamber with some fur...

06:37 pm - 14.09.2022

Things are not going well for The Scale of the Dragon. Not only is the kingdom of Arcadia suffering, but the entire world is falling apart. The sun has now darkened. Entities from other planes are infiltrating our world. Our adventuring party has passed the test as "those chosen to save the world" and have embarked on a new quest with a new companion. Unfortunately, our Warlock Bob lost his life while protecting our new guide. Bob wanted adventure more than anything and he made the most of the short time he had as an adventurer. He will long be remembered for his valiant sacrifice and we will make sure the world honors him if we are indeed able to save it.

The Rush to Nightstone

The escape from Arcadia having succeeded, the party decides to avoid the roads and make their way towards Nightstone via a cornfield so as to elude city patrols searching for them. Unfortunately, between the darkness and the now exhausted state of several...

Something's Up in Arcadia

After bringing Cronelius to the king's advisor Tim, the party attempted to acquire the job of escorting the archaeologist to Nightstone and the Whispering Caves. Tim advised the party to see him the next day as he much to discuss with Cornelius. Having so...

01:58 pm - 05.09.2022

It was the wrong session to not be present. Thomas' skills would have gone a long way to help the party succeed and save some gold.

Return to Arcadia

The morning following the eclipse, the party made a quick trip the Diner where they were able to observe a now purple star in the sky. The party believes this star to be the now diminished sun of their world. Paul Hawkgaze explained that their realm was c...

Cornelius Doolan has been delivered to Arcadia

After a series of adventures en route and in the Dwarven Isles, the party has successfully escorted the archaeologist Cornelius Doolan to the king's advisor in Arcadia. Cornelius is now scheduled to head to Nightstone to begin research at the caves where the initial ritual was discovered.

The Dinosaur Research Cave

As the party approached the clearing where the cave was located, Bob created an invisible floating disc to carry Eeblock, fully armored and ready to fire a threatening round from his pistol. Jade menacingly broke into the clearing along with Bob, extollin...

Level 5 at last.

You know something tough is coming when you level up in the middle of the session!

After spending more time than expected in Little Pebbles, the party finally made contact with Maxwell Boulder. After helping him break the charm influence he was under, he escorted them to the island where he believed Cornelius Doolan could be found. After encounter some dinosaurs, several of which were small, fast and vicious, Cornelius found the five of them and offered to help them get to safety before more dinosaurs came to finish the job and make a meal of them.

Dino Island

The party, joined by Maxwell Boulder, arose the morning after acquiring supplies and made their way to the docks where they found the Investigator ready to depart. After paying the captain the agreed upon amount, they were ushered aboard and shown their c...

Exterminating the Fire Newts

After several minutes of deliberation, the party decided to have Thomas sneak out onto the mine car trestle and make the initial attack utilizing his bow and the Hail of Thorns spell to affect as many fire newts as possible before they have a chance to re...

08:07 pm - 12.06.2022

Alas, adventuring is a dangerous lifestyle. Our companion Morprax was slain in the battle to exterminate the Fire Newts from the silver mine.

The silver mine has been exterminated.

The party managed to destroy all the fire newts in the silver mine. However there appears to be an open rift to the elemental plane of fire.

Level 4 attained!

After completing the quest to clear the mine of Fire Newts, the party members have reached level 4.

Explaining the Mine Mission

The dwarven guards were not happy with our adventurers in the least. After checking in with Dewy and confirming that he had indeed offered the party a reward for regaining control of the mine, the dwarves still wanted to prosecute the party for breaking i...

The Party's New Look

Jade, being distraught at the loss of her sister, propped her body against a wall so it didn't lie submerged and the party decided that Ruby's death would be meaningless if they didn't continue on their search for the treasure. It wasn't long before the p...

09:38 pm - 08.05.2022

Thomas and his companions were recruited by the King's advisor to locate an archaeologist somewhere in the Dwarven Isles and return him to the capital city. It is believed that he will have knowledge to help determine and defuse whatever is happening inside the Whispering Caves. However, even at sea, there are forces hunting the party.

Returning the Crown

The party rested well for a night in the village of Nightstone. Ruby read some of the book that was recovered from the body of the orc leader and discovered that there is a Cult of the Eclipse and these orcs, the obelisk and the ritual in the Whispering C...

09:15 pm - 01.05.2022

Nightstone's Residents Come Home

After spending a second night in the woods, the party had some difficulty determining their next course of action. Thomas, Jade and Morak the innkeeper all wanted to march back to Nightstone with all the residents and evict the Seven Snakes from the town....

08:29 pm - 01.05.2022

After explaining how the crown's jewels, the obelisk from Nightstone and the runes on the Whispering Cave wall are all related to the Cult of the Eclipse, our party has been asked to not leave the city of Arcadia until the council can determine what to do about all of this.

Nightstone belongs to the villagers again and the crown is returned to the king

After escorting the villagers back to Nightstone, the town was successfully defended from an Orc Horde. Morak, the Dwarven innkeeper traveled with us back to the city of Arcadia where we returned what was left of the crown.

After freeing the villagers from the goblins, we attained level 3!

Big decision to be made at the start of next session. Do we take the refugees to a nearby village until Nightstone can be liberated? Do we take them back to the capitol with us? Or, do we aid them now in the retaking of Nightstone?

The Goblin's Prisoners

After stabilizing Ruby, Jade and Prax attended to the bound and gagged prisoners while Thomas posted up at the chamber entrance with his bow at the ready, prepared to welcome any goblin scouts that may come looking for the boss. Knowing that it would take...

The Whispering Caves

After spending the night in the woods with the exiled villagers and guards of Nightstone, fending off an attack by a pack of wolves, the party made their plans for both protecting the villagers in the woods and recovering the villagers in the caves. It wa...

11:00 pm - 25.04.2022

After camping in the woods for an evening, the party ventured to the caves where we attempted to lure some of the denizens out. The plan went poorly as Ruby and Jade were both dragged into the caves via a net by two ogres. Thanks to some powerful spell casting by Prax, the ogres were dispatched quickly and the party pursued goblins deeper into the cave system to eventually defeat the Goblin leader and rescue the townsfolk that hadn't already been slain by the goblins.

The goblins led us to Nightstone. Sadly, they had already wreaked havoc upon the village by the time we arrived. With some troubles, we, along with a couple of guardsmen, were able to purge the village of any remaining goblins. Nightstone was now left with all the able bodied men absent, possibly seeking refuge in caves after being overwhelmed by the goblins. Only women, children and four guardsmen remained in the village when a band of mercenaries called the Seven Snakes arrived to take the town for their own. Our intrepid adventurers realized they were no match for this many seasoned foes, aided the guards in attempting to reunite the remaining villagers with the missing villagers by taking them to the caves. However, not all was right when the caves were reached...

Nightstone's New Troubles

As the party rested within the keep, making plans for a recon mission to the Whispering Caves, Thomas heard horses riding into town. Already a little uneasy with the disappearance of the stranger, he stealthily made his way from the keep, back to the vill...

09:42 pm - 10.04.2022

The city of Arcadia is full of adventure. I went to enjoy a day of celebration during the Festival of Light and ended up in a barroom brawl with three new friends because we won a random contest to feast with the king. On our way to the feast, we fought a group of goblins and uncovered their plot to attack the king and steal the royal crown. While attending the King's Feast, as expected, the goblins attacked and overwhelmed the guards. We were fortunate enough to be close enough to the king to prevent his murder but the crown was lost. That was quite the first day in the big city. Now, we are out of the city in pursuit of the thieving goblins by tracking their wargs while fighting off bandits, in an attempt to retrieve the crown and collect the reward.

Retrieving the Crown

After the remaining goblins were defeated by the guards, the king who was very appreciative of the parties efforts to protect him, offered them a reward of 50gp each if they are able to retrieve the crown. As further incentive to slay as many of the dasta...
