Archmage Halstead: The Final Countdown

Image
       The Wizlards after escaping Seaton with the staff of Talos and having secured the eye in the Sahuagin fortress.  The fortress is now safely back in the hands of the lizard folk and their Quenn OthoKent.  The party sailed for the ancient home of Leyash that they had gotten a rough bearing on from Niven in the sea elf colony.  They heard rumors that all of the Indomitable, Jon Bovi, and the gnasher were out patrolling the Sea of swords looking for them.  After some searching Aquarius was found.  The party left the ship above and dove using the water breathing spell for the sea floor hundreds of feet deep.  As they dove, they saw the remanents of a human village on top of a cliff buried in the sea.  Upon closer inspection they found that this must have been where Leyash’s father had his illicit tryst with his mother Abdara before Aquarius fell and the humans left the settlement or were killed in the attack.  There seemed to...

Archmage Halstead: Blasts, Pasts, and Castes

Image
After resting the night in the old mountain mystery of Lilly’s the party teleported back to Ascension Isle and as they faded away saw a blue dragon erupting from the floor of the place where Lilly’s constructs were. They ended up outside one of the pirate’s houses and while stealthing around the house they saw what looked like mechanical constructs and the Duke searching the upper level for them. After some debate over whether to get back to the ship or to eliminate the threat they chose to engage the duke and the automatons. The battle was fought, and the foe was eliminated without anyone escaping to alert the rest of the town. They overheard the duke and his first mate discussing before the battle that Jon Bovi was going to get the horse and circle the island to find the intruder’s ship. An ingenious plan was hatched instead of retreating to the ship that they would teleport inside the steel horse and blow up the powder magazine to incapacitate the ship. Leyash teleported inside the ...

Archmage Halstead: Living on a Prayer

  Living on a Prayer      After resting the night to gain their full capabilities and being careful to not be found in the house of the dead Werewolf captain Sufocan, the Wizlards decided that they would try to disguise themselves as pirates and explore the town to find the possibility of Abe’s daughter being here.   They successfully snuck across the top walled in portion of the town going from house to house and shadow to shadow only drawing a casual inspection by the guards in the two guard towers where after a minute or so they turned and left thinking the sounds they heard were a figment of their imagination.   They moved to the opposite side of the upper level from the black house that they started in and found a fence bordering a 10-foot drop in elevation to a lower level.   They hopped over the fence and to the lower level not drawing attention and found themselves among what looked like many midsized abodes that maybe housed pirates. ...

Archmage Halstead: The sixth session where shit gets realz

The Wrath of Nature      The Wizlards were resting after their battle with the dark armor-clad knights.   They wanted to wrap up a few things in town while waiting for their ship to have its upgrades finished.   They did a little shopping, loving, and information gathering.   They talked to Keledek and had him come to the teleportation circle.   He was able to dismiss it and before he did, he told you it was connected to the town of Seaton.   This town was a little familiar to you as it is the home of Cassandra’s arranged marriage partner the Prince of Seaton, and the location of a booming gaming house called the Spire of Sin.   Cassandra approached the party and told them that she must stay in Saltmarsh when they shipped out as her father was an emotional wreck after the murder of her mother and Anders was taking the betrayal and death of Skerrin hard as well.   The party wished her well, but she did give Abe half of an earring that wou...

Archmage Halstead: the OBX session (5th)

Image
 Oh, the places you'll go!      The Wizlards were sleeping off the night after defeating the scourge of the lizard folk “Thousand Teeth”.  They decided to travel to the Bullywag lair to retrieve the helm that Othokent had told them had been stolen.  On the way they were ambushed by a Wyvern which led to a pitched battle where they were continuously strafed by the beast.  The battle went well with the highlight of Adamas flying into the sky to meet the wyrven, and they continued their journey tothe Bullywag lair.  As they approached, they heard croaking and sounds of combat.  As they peeked through the underbrush, they saw two Bullywag gladiators in combat in what looked like sport for spectators viewing from a box above.  There seemed to be at least two other Bullywags and a shadowy figure in the box above.  Abe decided to try to parley and convince the Bullywags that they had come to talk.  The talk at negotiations stalled as ...
