D&D Adventures I

It is a year later since Alexia ravaged the city with undead and took off with the Witchfire.  Neither her nor the evil wizard have been heard of since.  Alexia’s uncle, Father Dumas, prays day and night that she can be found and recovered safely.

At the end of the Battle of Longest Night, Alexia left the city with the Witchfire, and her mother’s body.  The heroes of that night had determined that her plan was to resurrect her mother, murdered ten years prior, but no one had heard from her since.  Certain that Alexia had no way to resurrect her herself without turning her into an undead monster, Dumas’ priests have kept their ears open for word of their travels.

Two of the Heroes of Longest Night stayed in Corvis, taking side jobs while assisting in the search for Alexia.  Charmer, an elvish rogue, never liked being too far away from the city and its money anyhow.  Arya, an eladrin witch, was more interested in the search for Alexia, but after the complete lack of clues, tended to stick with her companion Charmer, more often than not to keep him out of trouble.

D&D Adventures: Prologue

So, I’ve started running a campaign again.  Actually, it is continued from one I ran about a year and a half ago.  I have a trilogy module I’m very fond of, “The Witchfire Trilogy,” that I use as the basis of all my adventures.  My idea is to go ahead and run the trilogy, modified for my purposes, and then allow everything to run from that city.

We’re starting on book two, since two of the players played the first one with me before.  Ogrecave.com says about the first book:

The adventure starts with the players getting sucked into the investigation of a series of grave robberies and eventually discovering a plot for revenge relating to nasty events of a decade earlier. The plot is nicely layered, with villains manipulating villains and NPCs driven by complex motivations. Most of these details will not be revealed until later in the trilogy, but it is clear from the start that players experiencing these adventures will be treated to some genuinely interesting twists and turns.

Great Weekend!

Although lack of sleep is the prominent issue at the moment, this weekend was a lot of fun.

Friday night was me and Ken and Edna staying up late to clean the house so that we could have guests over.  We had some music playing, and everyone worked together.  We got a whole lot accomplished, and were rather proud of ourselves.  I got to bed at 4 A.M.

Waking up at 10 A.M. (which, for me, six hours is not good for sleep ), I headed out to New Jersey to pick up my two youngest brothers, who were hanging out with me for the day.  Back in Pennsylvania, we gamed for a while until it was time for the Ravens-Titans game.  We broke out all the snacks, and our friends showed up.  Jacob and Johanna came, and so did Edwin, along with a friend of his who I thought was pretty awesome and got on well with everyone there.
