3rd October 2021 - Session 26 - Arriving in Noanar's Hold - Brian

Dipple absolutely smashes the opening roll and nobody knows what that means but they are all sure it has affected the world around them in a profound way.  The innkeeper, perplexed by all this too, implores our heroes for help with the orcs and by a vote of 3:2 the heroes decide it's not worth their time.  They move on from Calling Horns.


Along the road, the team meets a travelling caravan man who offers to sell some stuff. He says that the town of Everlund has a frost giant called Harshnag helping defend it (He was a famous member of Force Grey, a notoriously destructive adventuring company that defended Waterdeep). He also tells the party that Nonars hold is in shite and the road there isn't much better. At night time it's even worse again. The team heads down the road anyway to find Nonar's hold at the edge of a big forest
At the Whitehart inn, the team leaves the horses with the stableboy who takes a shine to Prittstick and they agree to hang out together for the night.


The stableboy tells us that the keep is haunted and Amrath is the ghost wrangler up there. He seems to like bread being thrown at him. Cannot be sure that the kid isn't a duck. Avgar the innkeeper seems to be scared of the 5 hunt lords who haunt the keep. Turns out the harness we've been bringing is for 5 horses. Obviously, the hunt lords want to harness their 5 horses together to do something nefarious AF.
The team sits down for dinner and a few scoops before watching for the hunt. Kin and Bearnabus wake to see the hunt, on sick looking armoured horses, ride through the town before returning to the keep at 6am with a deer in tow. After a delicious breakfast, we head up to deliver the harness.


The keep itself is also rundown with the windows bricked up. Amrath lets us in to deliver the harness. He's wearing a long chain (with a key on it) and after some devilish charm by Dipple, he lets us in to meet the wild hunt. There's 5 wights sitting around a table and a lot of bones on the floor (that are actually skeletal horses).


After multiple attacks, the team realises that fire is really effective so Dipple just fireballs everything including a surprisingly agreeable Dunbarr and a few now very dead horses. Grauple kills a wight and horse in one go with surprising ease. Not to be shown up, Dunbarr also kills a horse and a wight. Bearnabus also kills a wight. Kin decides he doesn't want to be left out of the fight and he opens a door. Dipple fireballs more wights, killing one of them. Grauple sheds a tear at killing another horse before adding the final wight to her kill count. The final horse tramples Dunbarr a little before getting its skull smashed in by Sharpie.


During the fight Amrath runs away through one of the doors, locking it behind him. The party prepares to loot the ever loving shite out of the place

21st Decemer 2022 - Session 53 - Slippery Conches - Eoin

Cicero doesn't believe that we are not involved somehow and locks us inside the room to check out the disturbance. Dunbarr has a message conversation with Bearnabug. Dunbarr realises he is only getting insect tapping back as a response. One tap for yes, two for no. It seems like Bearnanbug is getting on good and now is the time for the party to leap into action. Dipple begins casting ice magic upon the lock to try to break it open but fails. Kin with dexterous hands and lock-picking tools unlocks the door getting some cold hands because of it. Upstairs Bearnabug turns into an air elemental and strikes at Sansuri but fails to steal the conch. Sansuri farts a wind aura around herself and tells Airnabus to show her true form. Airnabus says "look, I'm panicking, I'm just trying to make you the leader of the giants". Airnabus then gives her potion of hill giant strength to Prittstick who immediately becomes super ripped. They both go in for another attack on Sansuri. A

28th Feb 2021 - Session 3 - Into the Keep - Brian

We rejoin our intrepid heroes after a devastating cliff-hanger. Dipple insights the crap out of the lady in the inn. We discover her name is Kella, she's a monk but is very well dressed and not as one might expect a monk. Suspicions are at an all time high. Kella is from Clondaptin (name may or may not be correct). Kin and Dunbarr loot the crap out of a sweet chest and divvy up the loot. Bearnabus, having released a snake from a box she has found, decides maybe releasing a flying snake in a small room might not have been the best plan. After an intense wrestling session, the snake is back in the box. Turns out the snake belongs to Kella and she wants it back. After a clever bit of sleight of hand Bearnabus hid the snake in the tinder box from Kella. The group tried to sneak the keep but Dunbarr was loud as all bedamned. He blamed the 25 foot ladder he was carrying but the group all give scathing looks none the less. The ladder attracts the attention of two lazily named goblins. (al

18th July 2021 - Session 20 - The Grand Dame - Brian

The night continued with Graupel standing there reminiscing fondly about the events of the last hour or two, much to the bemusement of the crowd standing around. Graupel finishes recounting our highly illegal tale and begins really making a balls of practicing the lute. One of the lutists, Cassie, takes pity on her and decides to help her learn. Kin, having just knocked out a rower, grabbed the oars and got ready to row so as not to attract attention. Dunbarr does a status check with everyone and coordinates where help might be if anyone needs it. Dipple is a masterclass in deception and continues upstairs with some Vol au Vents. He eats one sneakily on the way, thoroughly hoping that there wasn’t an exact number. He goes upstairs and offers the captain some snacks before continuing down a corridor. In the first room there is some banging, silence in the second room and possibly hears a splash of some kind in the third. At the last door, Dipple hears some god awful lute playing as if s
