Tomb of Annihilation (Session 6)

The party return to Port Nyanzaru. On the boat journey back though Julian finally manages to open the box revealing a stash of gold and a sending stone. He takes the stone and shares some of the wealth with the party. Night has fallen now and when they arrive at the docks some figures Julian seems to know approach. They take the stone and hand Julian some things before melting into the shadows.

Julian thanks the party for the help handing them a Charter of Exploration and the offer of the Tabaxi guides or 50gp towards a guide of their choice. Instructed to let the bar keeper know at the Thundering Lizard when they decide. With that Julian bids them farewell saying he has things to do.

The part start heading through the dark streets towards the Inn but stop as they hear a booming war horn echo across the city. The locals soon start running about panicking and Orion catches mention of "the undead are attacking".

As the screams of the locals surround them they remember Undril was going to check out Temples in the poorer districts like Malar's Throat, with that the party rush through the crowds the opposite direction everyone else is going and are warned by the guards as they close the gates they won't get back in until it's clear.


They soon find a shambling human attacking a local. The zombie is soon hit with a barrage of attacks from Thavakean's axe to Alyssias's Acid Splash magic. The zombie refuses to die however taking hit after hit until they realise Orion's Sacred Flame can extinguish it's fortitude.

Saralon meanwhile finds the locals retreating to a Temple of Tymora. Undril soon steps out ushering the Chultans inside while defending the door from attacking Skeletons.

After dispatching the invincible zombie they soon hold ground outside the Temple with Orion & Alyssia throwing magical blasts from the rooftops.

After the battle the Clerics tend to the wounded and ensure the Chultans are ok before everyone heads back to the Inn.

With the great Dino race only a day away the party relaxes or in Thavakeans case starts bonding with Volo's dinosaur - an Allosaurus that they name Crumb.

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...
