Archmage Halstead: Living on a Prayer

Image
  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

Image
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...

Wizlards Immortal

Image
 The Wizlards have been immortalized with their trademark derring-do.   A condensed version is above.  I like how the artist does motion so asked that it not be a standing around or campfire picture and suggested fleeing a pirate ship or sea monster.  The magic fishing rod, Pieces of Eight, and some subtle character elements are in the picture though we didn't capture wild magic.   Huzzah for Wizlards!

Archmage Halstead: the OBX session (5th)

 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 ...
