BC Life

The flash of light from the teleporter fades to reveal a circular room with a warm fire in the middle and the partial skeleton of an adult dragon laid out on the floor.  It’s also full of cultists.  The members of Tobin’s Revenge have very little time to take in the room itself as the several hooded figures turn to regard them just before rushing the group.  Hupp is able to counter the closest attacker and quickly vanquish them to the thirst of Blackrazor.  He notices that these hooded attackers are definitely cultists but without any of the regalia of…

Having just run through the gallery of armor only to return, the party takes a moment to think through what they have learned.  Before they can come to a consensus, a few members approach one of the suits of armor for further inspection.  Just as they get within reach two of the suits, including the one approached, begin to move and attack the group.  Over the course of a few minutes the party slew one set of armor after another only to have another spring to life, eventually reassembling previously scattered ones.  Even the idea of breaking the pedestals is…

On the outskirts of Waterdeep, the members of Tobin’s Revenge come to terms with their interrogations at the hands of the Thayans and subsequent failure to secure the support of Thay.  Not wanting to dwell too long on the potential consequences, the group moves towards the north perimeter of the city.  Entering through the Field Ward, Seebo takes the opportunity to check on his friend Boq.  He finds himself on the edge of immense worry as he approaches the now abandoned dwelling.  It does not take long to find the parchment on the front door in which Boq lets any…

Standing around the oak tree in the courtyard of the Silver Bough, Tobin’s Revenge is trying to make sense of the last 30 minutes.  They understand they almost lost everything, and their friend Tethren saved them.  But at what cost.  Beglwyn shares the moment she was able to hold before coming appearing in the courtyard.  She believes with all her soul that Tethren died to save them.  Others in the party either don’t want to or can’t accept that conclusion.  Thessa ushers them in from the cold.  The naiad Liriel has gathered the central tables together to accommodate the entire…

The dust begins to clear from the explosive entry of the dead griffon now blocking the door.  Outside the side windows several of the party observe the rest of the Griffon Calvary in battle with a green dragon and far off in the distance a large silver figure is orbited by numerous smaller dots.  From the balcony the second voice roars in draconic, only understood by EKIM, “They are here!”  The first returns the news calling on Pellix and Karrathex to assist Voaraghamanthar, calling for “No more mistakes.  Let the humans drive out the murders.”  The shock of the last…

With Seebo’s retreat back to the shores of the underground lake, Groz and Sariel push on deep into the tunnel through which they believe Chuth has attempted to escape.  As they reach the other side they discover another chamber, smaller but still large, with the far edges just out of sight.  Sariel is able to discern that something large is moving in the shadows but can make out any details.  Before they retreat back to the main group she sees that there is a side tunnel to one side, perhaps another way into this back chamber. Filling in the rest…

The party retreats from the pool of water and makes camp a safe distance away.  As they settle in for the night, members begin to notice that the garlands they wear have been giving off a subtle warmth.   This comforting warmth slowly fades and eventually ceases as the night becomes day.  In the morning they return to the pool and begin their investigation.  The pool is fed by a tall waterfall sourced from the cliffs high above them.  At only 20 feet deep and no obvious outlet, the pool is a puzzle the members try to pick apart.  Using…

As Elia departs the party with her instructions in the early evening hours, Sariel turns to the group to let them know they are all going to tea in the Sea Ward later that evening at the Silver Bough.  Seebo is familiar with the general location of the Silver Bough and feels like he can get them there easily enough.  Giving themselves a little extra time the whole party makes their way from Trollskull about an hour after sunset to the Sea Ward. Roughly half an hour later they find themselves turning off of Feather Street just south of Delzorin…

The next morning Tobin’s Revenge finds their Harper friend Leosin waiting with a couple of carriages outside Trollskull Manor.  The trip from Trollskull Alley to the Lords’ Palace gives the members a few moments to take in the winter scene of Waterdeep.  The storm system that made their trip south miserable has blanketed the cityscape of Waterdeep with a dusting of snow.  Upon entering the outer galleries of the palace, the members begin to wander towards the waiting area of the council chambers before Leosin snickers and beckons them to follow.  Heading further past the crowds gathered about for the…
