Underworld Adventurer

   For the third wave in the attack against the Eye of Terror, Copra Kaan convinced a party to move against the demonic beings known as Mariliths that had seized control of the section of Level 1 that had once served as holding pens for creatures used in the experiments of the Imperial Mother's researchers. Copra thought that the holding pens might be needed once the Eye of Terror was finally moved against. For reasons that could not fully be ascertained, the demons had some sort of agreement with the Eye of Terror. This plan was a bit of a tough sell. The Magician Phasmo was the most willing to entertain the idea.The magic-user held the belief that dealing with the Mariliths didn't necessarily mean meeting them in combat. Perhaps, the party could find out their aims (which most exist beyond the very terrestrial goals of the Eye) and negotiate with them to turn on the Eye. Just in case, he paid a visit to the wizard known as the Enchantress-- his mentor in the Transcendental C...

For the second wave of the attack on the forces of the Eye of Terror and their allies, the Demon & Dragon Slayers of the Drinking Crow planned on taking the attack to the Eye's lieutenant the minotaur named Tormando. They had battled beastly humanoid once before--and they had won! Copra Kaan even claimed Tormando's horns for his own. Yet--with the aid of the Pool of Life--the tyrannical Eye revived his middle manager. Rumors had persisted since that Tarmando now wore a helm with metal horns as a replacement. To prevent Tormando or any of the other targets from getting reinforcements, the adventurers form the Drinking Crow hired the Midnight Marauders to neutralize the Eye of Terror's force of vat-bred soldiers that were garrisoned on Level 1 of 'The Complex'. At first, the group thought to use the poison Armeen had acquired to poison the gnome-brewed ale and spirits the Eye's solider drank. Conversation than shifted to using a whole barrel of Sweet Dreams to...

 It all started with a desire to help the Children of Peroma. The elfin retainer Lirazil had enough of the suffering under the Eye of Terror she witness on a recent delve into 'The Complex'. She convinced her employer, the magician Phasmo, to rally an effort to strike out at the Eye of Terror and those allied with the tyrannical being. The mission would be to venture into the cavern territory of the mutants and attempt to offer them aid or relief in some capacity. These plans those adventuring out of the Drinking Crow to lend a hand. Armeen and Bludoon offered to help rally forces of the Imperial Mother to the cause or perhaps hired the adventuring company the Midnight Marauders to cause a diversion. Fr. Bert wanted to help in a more tangible way have been overheard saying, "It won't take me much convincing to beat up on the Eye." It was Copra Kaan that suggested the two circles of adventurers join forces in a series of coordinated  attacks. Rather than just movin...

Characters and elements from the sessions drawn by Rob A. *Dm's Note* In an unusual bit of time keeping, these session take place before Sessions #96 &97. Due to a book keeping error, two NPCs involved in these two session were involved in the Against the Eye of Terror campaign and had to be on the surface when it was conducted. The tables of the Burning Witch were a buzz with talk of the Great Cavern. The kobold PakPak, the gnome GaWoosh, and the vat spawn Hate Pit had ventured there many times before. They pressed allies old and new to return with them on another delve. Their friend, the mush man Callimonte, longed to return home to the Mushroom Forest and they now the way to lead him home. When the pre-agreed upon hour came, only this trio arrived with there hired hands. The long-retired Sergio Crankersore found himself unable to pull himself form the stacks of the Athenaeum. Wolfgang's vat-created body lay dormant (while who knows what Wolfgang got up to down in the est...

Following the second haul of dragon treasure the adventurers based out of the Drinking Crow pulled from the depths of 'The Complex', Armeen decided to put his/her hard earned coin towards bettering the Shrine of Danu. The cleric contracted the services of One-Arm to build a more permanent structure around the shrine in the Alley of the Gods. Key to Armeen's plans is an infirmary on the grounds where anyone seeking to offer their services as a healer my work. Wanting to not anger the sphinxes, Armeen spent addition gold on making sure there were improvements to where they live within the shrine. When Armeen rejoined their fellow adventurers at the Burning Witch, they were all ready for adventure. Fr. Bert had spent the week providing food to the orphans of Orm. Bludoon was still processing the ancient ritual to even more ancient powers he partook in during the Solstice. All, though, were ready to turn towards a task that Copra Kaan's very being yearned to complete. When ...

 Fancy Jean-Yves Beauvollier did not fair well with the Summer Tourney of the Bronze Dragon. His paramour (and adventuring companion) believed the bard's poorly placed bets were due to distraction from worry over his missing friend Freedom the Sapient Cat. This theory seemed buoyed by Fancy's behavior. While Fancy proclaimed around the Burning Witch his desire to find his cat, it took Peaches to suggest that his next delve into 'The Complex' be to use the new spell he composed and track down Freedom. Journeyman Crannoc had just gotten back to Orm form a lackluster convoking of the Transcendental Congress of the Aureate Precepts. The unveiling of the Philospher's newest spell seemed overshadowed by the Magician Crambo's new magic steed and tales of visits to not one or two but three other planes. Maevra Lun was caught in the general malaise of her chronic condition. The pair seemed eager for distraction and willing to aid Fancy in his quest. The were joined by a ...

“With the goblin Magician’s adventures transforming him into such a grand and esteemed member of this body then , surely , we would all benefit from what magical insights he will uncover when left to his own devices until the next meeting . Surely , we will all be gob smacked in their profundity .”   These reproving words of the Archwizard Merzhin rang through the ears of the magic-user Crambo on his journey back to Orm. The head of the Transcendental Congress of the Aureate Precepts didn't seem to care much for the magician cursed to live as a goblin's repeated showing off of his shadow-steed duplicate of Copra Kaan or constant sharing of his tales of adventures in other planes. What reflection there was to be had there, Crambo probably did none of it as he was not the type of waste his thought on such things. Still, he was left with the sting of the rebuke. To add insult to injury, Crambo's return to Orm brought with it the reminder that all of his regular fellow adventur...
