Tomb of Annihilation (Session 16) Ghouls!

Image
  The party decide to attack! Curious about the Ghouls feast and with Crumb hungry for a fight they quickly setup an ambush. The party hide in the bushes... well hide is a strong word, it's more like hold a leaf in front of them pretending to be a tree. They switch the Alchemy jug to oil and empty it out over a section in front of Thavakean. A grand plan to burn the ghouls and chop them down flanking from the sides is set up. They then send Solus in it's Owl form to distract some of the Ghouls away. 3 hungrily follow and once gone Thavakean roars and Alyssia starts blasting. As the party hold ready for the charge Crumb unfortunately gets impatient and launches forward barrelling into the Ghouls. The plan shattered, Thavakean & Alyssia wade forward to help as Orion moves up blasting Ghouls. Alyssia roasts 3 including a large Ghast as Orion sends a searing hot beam through a couple more. Crumb takes the brunt of the attacks as the party starting turning the fight in their fav...

Tomb of Annihilation (Session 15) Swamps & Nightmares

  The party push on after the Assassin Vine attack and as the sun sinks behind the trees find somewhere to camp. Alyssia finishes translating the Wizards journal with the tale seeming to end in madness and death. They spoke of whispers in the jungle then seemed to lose their amulet of control. They set up a watch with the Camp's soldiers and local hunters assisting. It's when all are asleep a voice is heard, “Well Widow Groat what is your plan?”, “patience Sister, lets see what the fools make of the blindmans gold” a sound of a cockerel squawking or a laughing third voice echoes as they wake into a room... Looking around a large stone hall they see dozens of bodies with gold coins in their eyes. At one end a wooden door carved with an old crones face also with coins in it's eyes. The party is extremely cautious and Orion carefully makes her way over to the door to investigate it. As Alyssia muses on any religious meaning Orion concurs coins in the eyes are a common place tr...

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...
