DM Note: All PCs are aware of the items below.

Long ago, and far away, at a place and time when magic was more than a word in children's stories...(This mean Neopolis at the time we are running)

Rafsooh made a shout of triumph ring through the halls of the Sage's Guild. Buried in the huge stack of crumbling documents that Krynn had brought him was a real find!

Eustace, known as the Monk, gritted his teeth and cut a deal with the shadowy and obviously nasty fellow. It's amazing what a down on his luck robber band leader has to do to keep his flunky robber band men fed and happy when thing are so bad outside the walls! Eustace silently cursed certain, er, individuals as the shadowy figure gave him instructions and a very ugly item...

Elop led a procession for the Temple of the Toad. He was very cold as it was late in the year to dance naked through the streets. He was not really happy with his current lot, but it was the best he could do right now. He wondered just where the wondrous crystal Skull was...

Gornash also wondered what happened to the Crystal Skull. If he could find that glorious crystal skull, he could really cement his power base!

The oldest active cleric of the Toad Temple shook his head in disappointment. He just couldn't get the new high exalted holy fearless leader to listen to him. He knew who took the skull. It had to be Cornvan. Everything bad that had happened to the Toad Temple in the past decades had been the work of Cornvan or his friends. He shuddered at the thought of the havoc wrought by the huge black ball....

The being known as the Eater Of Worlds wondered how the agent he had dispatched to Neopolis was doing? He hated losing stuff...

Auntie Agatha of the House of Kharook sent more money to Karnak. She never wondered where the old reprobate got his wonderful antiquities, she just snapped them up when her stingy tightfisted greedy nephew let her have some of her own money...

Kharis saw first her when he was delivering the item purchased by Agatha of Kharook. She looked like the light of his love Anksenamen, long dead, but still living in his heart. He watched for her then, we would call him a stalker now. When he was sure it was her, his mind reeled, and he began to plan for the future for the first time in oh, so many years...

Thax worked in his secret laboratory. He knew he would get it just right, soon. He needed the money as did his brothers, and his late brothers folio held the key to the fortune they all desired...

See you all Saturday afternoon at the library!

3/14 Session Notes

Attending: Nate, Dane, Krynn, Harriet, Darius, and Thandros (our son from K-State)

Loot: (BTW, Bryan gave his share to the group)
2200 GP each, chainmail sold, ring of florentine, 2 scabbards, bracelet of no entanglement from spider webs which Nate says is actually better than the ring Kepher has, potion of flying, potion to cure disease, potion to detect treasure, potion to detect magic, potion to see invisible, potion of underwater breathing, gem of demon summoning gave to ZamZam, Demon in a box sold to Decco the Demonoligst for 4 smoking black rock and split among the group, 4 smoking black rock split equally, book of Yazud the Spider w/yellow fangs, scroll of the dead antiquity, 2 scarrabs with +1 saving throw, rusty short sword, bracelet of AC0.

Adventure: As the group starts across the lands west of Neopolis on the flying carpet, we fly over Necropolis and hear shouts of "help, help, help". We see three large tombs below where the shouting is coming from entwined in white fiber. The group checks it out and sees someone entangled in the corner asking for help. It turns out to be a trap and the corner figure is a purple Ettercap with long arms, which Dan and Thandros kill for 325 XP each. A large biting spider in the corner gets Krynn, but not before she, Dane, Darius, and Thandros kill it for 400 XP each. Harriet keeps busy killing another black hairy spider with Thandros for 325 XP each. Krynn needs healing from Leon when she quickly gets down to 2 HP!!!

We find babie spiders in the next tomb and Dane, Harriet, Krynn and Darius all get XP here. Darius find a trap door to a lower level where Dane, Darius and Krynn are attacked by scarrabs. After killing 5 groups of them with the 3 of us, we find another trap door with a coffin behind it. We take the coffin to an upper level to open and a mummy attacks us. It paralyzes Darius, Dan, and Thandros for several turns. Harriet, Krynn and Darius kill it for 700 XP each. Harriet and Krynn get hit by the mummy and get mummy rot. We quickly fly to leon for another 50 HP.

The last tomb contained lots of giant ticks that quickly attacked Dane. He had two hanging from his neck at once and Darius helped him.

We found a lot of loot in this adventure and fenced or gave away the evil pieces. The book with the yellow spider fangs was destroyed by the temple of Yazud because they have green fangs. Bryan became bald when he was touching smoking black rock. Dane gets

ZamZam is happy to tell us about the loot we found and we give him the gem of demon summoning in return for his efforts this week and last Wednesday. We sell the demon in the box to Decco the Deomonolist for 4 smoking black rock and tell him that we will see him soon for another adventure through his portal.

We also learn that Martine the banker has three ways to help us:
1) hold our GP
2) low risk ventures
3) high risk ventures
Marine needs to know you when doing business with him. If you wait too long to see him again or change your looks in any way, he may not recognize you and will not return your money. This only happened once in Neopolis, but is something to consider.

This was a fun adventure with more open spaces for everyone to fight. It was great for all levels.
Krynn

Notes from Wed 3/18 session

Attending: Nate, Dane, Krynn, Chris, Kaine, and Harriet!

Loot: No GP this week, but other items included 1 potion of dillusion, 1 potion of gaseous form, 1 potion of invisibility, 1 potion of heroism, small gold diamond ring, gold ring/amulet of joy, ring w/skulls/ring of the grave, ring w/comedy face/AC0, 20 feet of red silk/AC0 sash, iron band/collar of unblinking eye so you cannot be decapitated, and a normal dagger.

Notes:
The group visits Demeter of the Dimension at the Mages Guild and travels through a portal lined with blue stones. It appears to be a slave gate that will remain open for 3 days.

We head west on our carpet through a land which covered in black sand and rock. We stop to fight a Minotaur and Dane, Kaine, Krynn, and Harriet each get 370 XP. We continue heading west and see another Minotaur being chased by a large reptile. Carantus casts prayer and Harriet, Krynn, Kaine, and Carantus each get 1250 XP to kill the reptile.

We continue to fly west following the Minotaur's tracks and find a large out cropping of rocks surrounded by grass. Carantus leads us into the rocky area and are quickly attacked by an Otyugh (a green scaly creature with two large claw tentacles). Kaine, Krynn, Harriet, and Carantus all had hits and received 1000 XP. Alas, Dane didn't get a piece of the two higher XP amounts :(

Carantus detects magic in the pond centrally located within the rock formation and finds rings, and all kinds of cool items. Only one appears to be evil.

We return through the portal and Demeter greets us and offers to identify all of the loot in return for a skull that Kaine gave him.

Check out the pics on Meetup to see Nate's handi-work on the creatures for this week.

Notes from 3/21 Sat Session

Attending: Nate, Dane, Krynn, Harriet, Shamus and Darius

Loot: Get ready for this list.....
23,283 GP each, Mages robe of AC0, Hat w/gem for +1 intel / day, +2 dagger, small spell book w/skull (gift for Suthase to identify loot), amulet w/3 eyes 1x a day it allows user to detect thoughts/aura, potion to neutralize poison, potion to restore levels, potion to remove curse, potion to speak & understand languages, 5 potions to create/poop a gem, gold from a tooth, metal shirt, 2H axe +3, gold belt buckle, jeweled gold belt, staff of striking +3, gold ribbon w/writing AC0, flint dagger, suit of plate armor & helmet (cleaned of nergle rot), 2H axe +5 evil controlling (just ask Darius), blanket of sleeping, dagger w/snake, old jade jug w/poison gas, old jade ink well that is always full, various shields, short swords, maces, etc., that were sold for GP (at least 20!).

Adventure:
The group set out invisible on the magic carpet and headed south and west of Necropolis. We had a brief stop to check out a couple of tomb raiders and then proceeded to the black valley. There we met Grumpy, head of the group (his brothers rule when Grumpy is resting). We get a tour of his iron smelting business where many slaves work. He tells us of trading issues with Neopolis because traders are being attacked near the swamp. Krynn gives him 6 bottles of Cornvan's finest and in return he gives her 6 bags of iron. Shamus suggests we each carry a bag and we pose as traders on the trail as bait. It quickly works and we are fighting small creatures w/really big teeth for some XP. A wizard appears on the path and quickly goes invisible. Darius drinks a potion and finds the wizard, putting a hit on him so he can't cast a spell. We kill the wizard (Krynn got to use a potion of flying and hit him in the air).

Continuing on the path, Darius detects a beastman on the left...but more are lurking on both sides of the path. We fight with 4 of them for more XP. We follow their tracks to a rock shelter where we find GP and papyrus writings. Darius sees a cavity in a tree with a trap door to a pentagram. It teleports us to a cavern on the north side of the escarpment. It doesn't take long before we're fighting more beastmen and another wizard inside many chambers. Darius had his share of troubles in one of the caverns (negle rot, possesion, and Harriet preparing to attack him) but Shamus holds him down while Krynn pours a potion to heal disease down his throat. Here we find more loot, weapons, and potions. Shamus takes one of the oil lamps on the pentagram to disable it.

The group returns to Neopolis after a fun adventure. Darius got Negle rot and possessed by a magic sword, Shamus got lots of great hits today and held Darius to help save his life, Harriet searched bodies and forgot to fight for a while :), Dane drank a potion after getting some hits put on him, and Krynn got to use two of her first magic potions. As always, Nate did a super job of story telling.

Next time we'll visit Rafsu to see what he read on the papyrus writing we found in the beastmen rocky area.

Krynn

Notes from Wed 4/1/09 Session

Attending: Nate, Dane, Krynn, Carantus, Kepher, Shamus, Kaine

Loot: Ring of invisibility, ring of florentine, cloak pin AC0, Gold Crown AC0, 2H Sword +5/+5 holy sword, Amulet of tongues, 2 potions of tongues, 2 potions of cure disease, 2 potions to remove curse, short sword w/jug +3/+3, shirt of chain mail and blet, golden holy water dispenser, golden book w/12 golden pages, staff of striking +2/+2 evil, gold ring to cause disease (evil), potion of inter planar transportation, head of the toad god statue, and we sold various non-magical weapons for 116 GP (most donated their portions to various temples)

Adventure:

The group flew to the north escarpment and saw smoke billowing from the rock. We see an area with toad carvings and entered a secret door and quickly found lots of loot. But before we could leave, two black skeletal creatures throwing fire balls attacked us. Krynn, Dane and Kaine all received XP. Next, a black ghost creature came out of the wall and attacked and cast a spell on Shamus & Carantus (-1 Con & pustules) and Dane lost 1 pt of Con (they later get these back). Krynn, Shamus, and Carantus eventually kill the black spectral creature. We knock over the toad temple idol and we break off the head.

We go up the stairs that we found and Dane uses his blanket of sleeping for the first time on an Orc guard and Kaine kills it. We find 10 more Orcs sleeping and the main Orc casts a spell on Dane, Krynn, and Shamus causing them to freeze in place. Kepher, Kaine, and Carantus kill the rest of the Orcs (and Carantus puts a spell on 6 of them to freeze).

We head back to Neopolis but are too late to enter the gates, so we spend the night in a Necropolis tomb. Krynn opens the door on the last watch to find men who were like wolves. Everyone gets XP here and we gather lots of non-magical items and some blue mushrooms. Carantus eventually heals himself and Shamus of the pustules and they get the pt. of Con back.

Lots of XP, mass quantities of loot, and no one died. Nate did a good job of keeping us in line :) Krynn

Great Report! Thanks Cathy, we will miss you Saturday!

Saturday's run was exciting, and quite eventful! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! By the way there were 4 tables running at the meetup Saturday afternoon!

I won't be able to give as detailed and complete a report as Cathy, but here it is!

Shamus, Darius, Dane and Harriet adventured Saturday.

They journeyed through time and space to an odd land oppressed by an evil giant and his minotaur flunkies. Our heroes triumphed over the bad guys and restored order to that odd land, and left the inhabitants to raise sheep and gather minerals!

Upon their return to Neopolis our heroes visited Suthaze. Shamus decided that if he wanted something he needed to give up something, and the stalwart party received a map to the tomb of the mighty warrior Steapa the Wise. They found the tomb and stirred up the malevolent spirit of the late, very late, Steapa, defeated him and found some very exciting loot!

Suthaze identified the items, took his traditional pick, and the players are trying to figure out what is next!

See you all Wednesday night!

Nate

Uriah sends Bumpy to the Temple of Neptune with a request. I will assume all the players will hear of it.

Uriah wants to know if any of the party has serious opposition to his seeking advice amongst his fellow Mages in solving the communication problem?

If you do oppose this let us know!

Neo notes from Wed 4/8/09 session:

Attending: Nate, A'liana, Kepher, Shamus, Dane and Krynn

Loot: 2H sword x 6, 2 potions to detect goats, lightning bolt stick (gave to Uriah), armor & helmets from lizard men, +4 dagger, 8 smoking black rock, ring to polymorph plants 1 x day, medallion of snakes w/ AC0 evil, 2 stone clubs and a gold necklace worth 5,000 GP

Adventure: Dane grasps medallion w/spiral and group transports in a place with lots of black sand and it's night time. We hear goats and quickly are attacked by 4 lizard creatures, one of which is a shaman and won't die easily! Three of the lizard creatures are killed without too much trouble but the shaman is fed potions from the largest lizard and keeps coming to life...4 times.

We head south as the sun comes up on the carpet and stop at a small village. Everyone runs away from us but one of the elders thinks we're the ones that have been stealing their goats....so we finally leave. We travel along the sandy river bed west, then north and see smoke and a fire with 4 goats cooking. Three snake creatures are sleeping and one is awake on guard. We kill all of them eventually.

Good XP this round and 8 smoking black rock! Everyone received 1100 GP each for the loot we sold as a group. Krynn receives Finster's +5 broadsword from Leon, Kepher purchases a +7 great sword from Amnos with 9 smoking black rock, Leon destroys and evil sword for Kepher, and Dane gives Uriah the mages sash of AC0.

Great fun!

Morgan Lafaye!! Notes from Sat 4/11/09 Neo Session

Attending: Nate, Dane, Krynn, Darius, and Harriet

Loot from tomb below palace: Krynn uses her potion to detect treasure to find a gold jeweled goblet (gave to Uriah), gold onyx ring 20 pts of healing/day +1 on saving throw, +3/+3 broad sword, sceptre to protect against spells of undead (gave to Soothase), golden quill of forgery 1 time/day (Dane gives to Rafsu in the Sages Guild), sewing needle of repair, +3/+3 bow with 40 arrows per battle, and boots of tracks 1x/day.

Loots from Zagoth tomb: 2H sword +7/+7 w/golden scabbard (Zagoth's own sword names Buehla May), gold chain w/elephant medallion AC0, gold button, 10 opals worth 2500 GP, +3/+3 longsword, 6 oz. bottle of containment that actually holds 1 gallon, +4/+4 dagger, knuckles of striking +2/+2 to subue, 2 axes and 2 daggers, and each person in group received 869 GP.

Also......
2 pentagrams were found and they did not require candles or oil lamps to operate. Dane and Darius quickly decided to use them for the group's future qwests to help with teleporting. One pentagram was taken and placed in Carantus' room and one was taken to Igor's tower. We won't be required to use the carpet to get out of town any longer! BTW, while at Igors, we found portals stored for Cornvan and Ragnald.....we may be able to use them in the future.

Adventure:
Uriah gets a gold jeweled goblet of purifying from us and Soothase receives a dagger +3/+3 and sceptre to protect against undead spells for determining that the spiral medallion came from Zagoth, a mercenary, fighter, once member of Osirotep's dark side (but escaped with loot). Donal the Widowmaker (Mercenary Guild) tells us that Zagoth was killed by a large rock that fell from the sky while he was admiring his newly built tomb.

In the first half of the qwest, Leon asks the group to help someone in Neopolis who owned a palace. Someone was digging a secret hole under the house to go to the sewers and didn't return. We quickly ascend into the hole and fight a mummy (tanna leaves in his holding place) and kill it, but not before Krynn and Darius lose a level (Krynn drinks the potion of heroism to regain her level until Leon can heal them). Lots of loot here!

The second part of the qwest finds us in Little Necropolis after Harriet rolls 01 (Rafsu gave us a picture of Zagoth's tomb to aid us). Darius rolls 04 to move the rock and we find Zagoth's bones, and other treasure. Inside the open tomb, we find Finster and Zagoth's tombs (Krynn carries Finster's fine +5 sword). We move the larger tomb and under it we find a pentagram. It takes us to an enclosed area with another creature with tentacles to fight (800 XP each). Darius and Dane teleport to the original tomb and grab that pentagram and Krynn and Harriet grab the second and fly back to Neopolis on the carpet.

Dane and Darius are quickly attacked by Morgan Lafaye, Alf and his twin brother Ralph!!!
We find out that Morgan Lafaye has had the group followed for weeks. She went to the Aulden Arrow tavern where she fired Alf and Ralph to jump us. She always talks to a begger and a kid at the tavern. Morgan quickly puts Dane to sleep but Darius gets a couple of hits in so Morgan drinks a potion and disappears. Raph is killed by Darius and Alf surrenders and tells us the information about Morgan Lafaye.

This was a significant day because of the pentagrams that are now ours to use plus meeting Morgan Lafaye and knowing that she's following us closely to steal what we have on us. Darius, Krynn, and Dane all leveled up and trained.

Great story telling, Nate!!

Krynn
