Tomb of Annihilation (Session 11)


The silhouettes soon resolve into a flock Pteranodons! As they soar in to attack the party they move quickly to intercept. Alyssia roasts 3 as they swoop in with her Burning Hands and as one dodges the brunt of the blast is swoops into Crumb jaws as the Allosaurus tears it out the sky. Thavakean joins them slashing away as the rest of the Pteranodons dive bomb into the party attacking Orion and Undril. Between multiple Sacred Flames from their entourage, Alyssia & Orion slinging spells and Thavakean's mighty blade they soon scatter the Pteranodons. The ones that didn't flee soon fill Crumb up and the party continue their journey.

A foggy day leads to some slow travel and the lack of water takes it's toll. Thavakean offers his share suffering exhaustion but protecting the party. Relief arrives with the following days rain and finally across the river they spot their destination; Camp Righteous!

The first challenge involves crossing the river. Some clever use of Alyssia's Unseen Servant and Solus lets them unhook a boat on the other side to ferry them across. 



Camp Righteous turns out to be abandoned! Concerned Undril starts looking about for clues with the party. While they search the leftover tents Thavakean is attracted to a noise coming from what turns out to be an animal pen. A fledgling Axe Beak squawking away in the pen attracts more than Thavakean as Crumb spots his lunch! Despite Thavakeans efforts to stop Crumb he pounces devouring the Axe Beak. It's cries however attract a mob of adult Axe Beaks! Crumb & Thavakean meet the charge soon followed by the others. Orions Cone of Cold zaps into them as Alyssia blade dances forward and Undril soon follows. As Undrils spectral hammer smashes the last Axe Beak a very bloodied Thavakean and Crumb are happy with their victory and large pile of birds for dinner.

Resting and healing up Undril asks what Alyssia found in the tents and she show her the journal of a Commander Breakbone. It seems the camp was overrun and they moved further up the river.

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...
