Heading back into the Winters Teeth pass we saw Gobbo the Great and his warband.  Following the Goblin were two ogres, an Elf and a Manticore!  Gobbo called out for use to pay the Gobbo tax.  Tayy led the retreat ( flee! skill coming into use ) as we all fled into the woods. Wandering around under the cover of the trees we disturbed Rupert the Bear.  The savage beast attacked...

It is an open table format game with who ever turns up heading into the dungeon making progress somewhat difficult as we keep going through the same rooms.  The game is currently socially distanced being playing using Discord. Chapter 47 After two months adventuring we finally found where the death cult are based and went to wipe out the cult of evil!  Today's adventures were - Berg the Dwarven Warrior Halvor Templar of Yrt Brigham Cleric of U'ta Gibbet Master Thief Z'dizh the Orc prisoner lead us back into the caves.  He tried to get us caught in the pit trap that had killed Sven two months ago but Berg & Gibbet recognised the corridor and it was Z'dizh that fell in when he was told to disarm the trap. With his cloak of invisibility Halvor scouted forward when we saw a light ahead and saw four clerics and a war hound on wat...

Heading back through the winters teeth pass with checked in with Maruge and let the Orc's know Hernan could return home.  Arriving in Mortensholm we got ourselves a room at the Winking Tiger inn; popped to the shops to buy some more armour and then headed on over the Lamar warehouse. Using his magical cloak Morgan strode in pretending to be Thomas Lamar and fooled the men working there.  Then the voice of Mr Van Horst called out for us to come upstairs.  It seems Mr Lamar's mysterious boss was actually at the wareho...

Tayy and Ragnar picked off a few cultists with arrows while Morgan just tossed lighting bolts killing six and leaving just Lamar facing Dutch an...
