OBX 2024

-

 



The 2024 OBX sojourn was marked by an epic showdown against a legendary foe.  It was also marked by the mighty Wizlards battling the evil forces of COVID using an impressive arsenal of pluck and hand sanitizer.


As it turns out, COVID is a CR23 BBEG who is resistant to both pluck and sanitizer.  At the time of this post, 3 out of 5 Wizlards now recommend COVID to their patients who chew gum.

Still, we came and saw and surprisingly conquered.  While all of our sports teams were disappointments, this session will long be remembered as a fittingly heroic climax to an amazing adventure almost three years in the making.  We fought horny blue dragons and gargantuan kraken.  Some of us ate salad on only three of us died in the final battle.  These two are probably unrelated.

Abejunio El Guapo, Faer'uns mightiest and hairest of bards, was sadly ineffective in the showdown with the evil forces of Jom Bovi.  He spent much of

The fight on the deck of the Kraken Chaser, immobilized by Bovi's hypnotic tunes and composing his own long overdue tribute to another legendary hero, the Ben sandwhich from Waveriders.  "Delicious sauce, you burn my heart with your mystery.  And you gave me the clap...."

The final battle was an amazing exercise in battle planning, logistics, strategy, and raw nerves.  We had one of those in spades, so ignored the rest and set about doing what we do best.  Which is usually oreos and Mike's Lemonade but this time it was animated objects and sneak attacks and springy paladins and cutting words to make the baddies miss.  We all got to shine.  Which means Archmage Halstead was the real hero. 

 Huzzah.

  My music she grows more potent.  Each string on this new guitar pulses into the arcane ether.  The vibrations they sing in my soul.  And, if the legends of the muse Etefan are true, the rhythm is going to get you. Our return to Saltmarsh brought forth many gifts.  The town gave us use of the ship, we we have called the Kraken Chaser.  The townsfolk, in whispers or proclamations, call us the “Wizlards of the Coast”.  Maybe it’s the fact that we paraded lizardfolk through the town square just a day or so after almost blowing it up.   Adamas has taken it on himself to recruit all of the pretty women of the town to crew the Chaser.  Cannot say if the parrot is huring or helping him here.  On that note, Tylsaria is confused by my advances so perhaps a parrot is what I need. We need to crew with six officers and 20 crew.  Since we don’t know who to trust in the town, it’s a risky undertaking.  Fearing for her safety, Lleyash c...

Archmage Halstead: The Second Session

[From his popular memory stone " Stranger Things Have Happened : Saltmarsh Session Two"]      The strangers awoke in the morning, minus Adamas.  Not knowing what to make of his apparent death they decided to continue with their mission and traverse further into the swamp in search of the criminal Whitecrag and Ned.  After about 30-40 minutes of travel, they found evidence of a meeting between two groups that were coming north to Saltmarsh and that were going south from Saltmarsh.  The tracks jumbled together as in a meeting and then they turned back to the south deeper into the Mere of Dead Men.  As they were investigating the tracks Adamas appeared from the woods saying he had been out scouting ahead and stumbled upon the same tracks.  After greetings were exchanged, the party rejoined and decided to continue deeper into the swamp. They stumbled upon an orc patrol talking about pleasing their master and hid (or so most of them thought) in the woo...
