Tomb of Annihilation (Session 2)

Our session begins with Undril Silvertusk explaining she needs help getting to Camp Righteous Xandala - who was rescued from a shipwreck is also heading to chult looking for her father Artus Cimber. He is an adventurer who has travelled to Chult. Captain Ortimay impressed with the daring rescue offers the use of her ship if the characters can bring her a map with the her an accurate map of Chult that shows the exact location of the ruins of Nangalore and Orolunga. Looking at the map the party ask about Fort Beluarian which is a place owned by the Flaming Fist mercenaries company. They are trying to gain ownership of chult. They also apparently demand adventurers pay for a Charter of Exploration. They also find out 7 Merchant Princes rule Port Nyanzaru owning the monopoly of trade on the island. A few days from Chult the Captain comes down to warn about pirates coming down on us to rob us. Ortimay and Xandala are keen to avoid confrontation.
The pirates board the ship and begin looting. Captain Laskilar is the pirate leader. While looting some of Ortimays things they discover Saralon being sick. She manages to convince the Pirates that she is just a ship Priest and the Pirates have one too so believe her. They find out there's 3 Captains with Laskilar being the nice one apparently. Strangely the Flaming fists have never been hit according to Ortimay. Maybe the also have an alliance with these thugs? With Port Nyanzaru in sight a gargantuan Dragon turtle named Aremag surfaces and demands tribute. Thavakean asks how much more and then out of nowhere the creature slams the ship with a flipper! Orion, Saralon and Undril go flying overboard where some hungry sharks await. Thavakean dives in to hunt a shark and soon Alyssiaget on deck from below and starts blasting while throwing rope down to help the others get back on. Casting a spell to understand the Dragon Turtle Prof. Alyssia convinces the creature more gold is on a ship behind them so Aremag leaves to hunt. The party set off again and finally make it to port! Saralon dives off onto the port kissing the ground and muttering some prayers and mumbling about building a charter house so she doesn't need to get on a boat again.

Tomb of Annihilation (Session 14) Camp Vengeance

Image
  As Orion wonders how to respond to the guard saying it's Camp Vengeance Undril steps forth, "I am Undril Silvertusk, sent to support the Order of the Gauntlet". With that declaration there is some excited chatter at the gatehouse and some cheers of "reinforcements are here!" as the party are allowed inside - except Crumb who the guards insist must stay outside. As the party enter inside they are greeted by Captain Perne Salhana. She seems glad the party is here and tells them many are sick and wounded. The hopes of nice rest are dashed as they realise the camp is in a sorry state. Commander Niles Breakbone steps out from his Command Tent hearing the talking outside muttering something about the Order letting anyone in these days then starts barking orders for the Captain to get them set to work before returning to his tent. Thavakean is directed to Ord Firebeard who is organising a patrol as Orion and Undril go help in the medical tents and Alyssia chats to Sa...

Tomb of Annihilation (Session 18)

  Noting the ice as another mystery of the jungle the party continue on. A heavy mist descends upon the Aldani Basin making visibility drop to only about a dozen feet.  Later in the afternoon as they continue through the Aldani Basin something stirs in the swampy water. Three  Giant Crocodiles come lunging out attacking the party! One of the two remaining Tribal Warriors is torn in half, while Crumb is viciously attacked along with Eku.  The remaining warrior rushed forward plunging his spear into the Crocodile attacking Eku and ducking a tail swipe from the creature. As Thavakean explodes with rage, shadowy tendrils lash out at all the Crocodiles as he brings his axe down on the one attacking his faithful dinosaur.  Meanwhile Inete retreats over to Orion who is blasts away at the one clutching Eku with a Scorching Ray. Alyssia blade dances around all the attacks coming at her. As the Crocodile on Eku swings its tail connecting with and launching the remaining b...

Tomb of Annihilation (Session 19)

  After the shocked servant finishes screaming and the guards have been calmed down by Thavakean showing off his Dinosaur Race medal they find themselves in Wakanga's company once more. They update Wakanga that they still haven't found the Construct but have a lead. They also find out he could help transport them back to Valindra's Teleportation Circle when they head back out. After a bath Alyssia heads to Wakangas shop to barter. It doesn't go terrifically well but she does make a deal to spend a few days making scrolls to earn some money.  Meanwhile Thavakean finds a way to earn a bit more by heading back to the Colosseum. Taking on 4 panthers they initially knock him down biting into the mighty Goliath. He stands back up though and in a rage of exploding shadow proceeds to cut them down one at a time. The party rest up and resupply. Orion checks up on Inette before they hire Qawasha a Druid guide for their next expedition. Thavakean & Alyssia then take part in on...
