Tentagil’s Realm

This week in the land of Dark Sun our intrepid adventurers found themselves moving beyond the dark dank caverns into a dark and dusty tomb.  Of course as with all tombs this one was filled with traps and ancient guardians.

Once again it was a fairly easy night.  This time around there were only two enemies, [...]

Little late on this one but on with the show.  Like last week this encounter continues on in the catacombs beneath the desert.  As I said last time this one is a much more traditional dungeon crawl with larger maps and the encounters flowing much more naturally as the party travels through the winding passages [...]

This week began Chapter Two of our Darksun encounters.  While the first chapter was a race through the desert with the party being chased by their unknown attackers this second chapter is a more traditional dungeon crawl as the group delves into ancient catacombs beneath the desert sands.

We gained two new players this week, so [...]

Ah week five, the climax of the first chapter, the end of the parties long trek across the desert of Athas.  We ended up with only three players once again this week so I had everyone play two as they entered this epic chapter ending encounter.

With the party backed into a box canyon, the storm [...]

This week I wasn’t quite as prepared as I should have been, so the night started off with my pulling a skill check out of thin air and then stumbling a bit through the parties meeting with a lone dwarf wanderer named Ralo.

After a diplomacy check to ease Ralo’s mind and ensure him they weren’t [...]

For our third week spent under the blistering sun of Athas only three members of the group were able to make it.  Rather than try to scale down the encounter so drastically I opted to have each player run two characters.  Though it took a round or two for them to get into the flow [...]

We gained two new members this week, of course we also lost one from the previous encounter.  On the plus side the group now had another striker and a healer as they played Shikirr and Phye respectively.  The spellcaster Barcan was however MIA which left the group with slightly less ranged damage.  But seeing as [...]

This week marked my first attempt to run a session of Dungeons and Dragons as a DM.  And personally I think it went pretty well.  All the players seemed to enjoy themselves, no one died, though a few came close, and we got to test out the newly revamped 4E version of the Dark Sun [...]

Ah the bittersweet finale of our campaign.  It’s been a lot of fun but all things must come to an end.  Of course we were expecting a hard fight, and with half the group still recovering form past battles we weren’t exactly in top form.  Things were looking rather dangerous.

Our cast

“Lyndy” the Rogue
“Andy” the Druid

Having survived the mushroom men this week our group was back up to near full strength with the Warden rejoining us.  It turned out to be a good thing, but at the same time this week’s fight ended up significantly easier simply because the Druid has good eyes.  Of course the Rogue and Warlord were [...]
