Posted by Steve | Filed under D&D
Levels 1 – 3
Session 1
Opal was traveling east and made camp in the woods near the road. She was sneak attacked while she slept, and was nearly killed, but Maryn showed up and helped defeat the thugs. Opal was able to use her book spell to learn that they were trying to “keep you from reforging the crown”. They decided to continue east to Crag’s End, where they found an inn to stay the night. Upon waking, they made introductions, and had breakfast. The got info from the innkeeper, to talk to Lester’s boy, Brandi. The boy told them he had found what looked to be an old well, and he drew them a map to its location.
They then traveled east to the well, but found out it was the entrance to an old dwarven mine. They heard wailing from inside. They fought: hellhounds, hobgoblins, a flameskull, an Otyugh, zombies, a wight, and a black pudding. There, they also met Gabrius, a devil, who tried to convince them to stop searching for the crown parts, as it could lead to another Blood War. He recommended they talk to a devil named Wicked Nick in Almswood, a thieves’ town north of Crag’s End. They then returned to the inn at Crag’s End to rest and communicate with the Raven Queen on what to do.

Session 2
In the morning, they headed off to Almswood. On the way, they met Jake and two members heading there to set up their wagon for sales. He told them to be careful there, as it could be dangerous, and to visit “Old Jake’s” later. This was the sign he hung over his stall/wagon.. They also met other people going to/from Almswood.
On the way, Maryn and Opal investigated the circlet. Opal used Prestidigitation on it, and uncovered the dirt and mar on it. It was of pure black material. Opal was able to see that the circlet was actively absorbing ambient energy. Opal tested her energy shock spell on it while it was being held by her mage hand. It completely absorbed the shock. Maryn tried her divine spell on it, both while being held by the mage hand AND while Opal wore it. The circlet provided 100% spell nullification/absorption. (In reality, the circlet absorbs al magic directed at it, and also to all energy around it, although passively. The circlet transfers this energy to other parts of the crown once they are attached.)
They finally made it to Alsmwood, which is located in a large forested area.
In the town, Opal gave some coins to a girl, Sarah, and learned about where “Uncle Nicodemus” lives. She told them he gave them food and coin to bring info to him, usually through one of his men. She said he only ever was seen coming out of the Klink and Kettle tavern. Opal was told to stay away from the Portly’s Barrel tavern. Opal then went to Sambar’s Inn and got a room for two nights. They paid for dinner and breakfast. Then they went to Tavern’s Way, a street lined with vendors. There, Opal purchased some leather material to craft a hidden pocket for the circlet. Maryn purchased some shoe inserts from Mabel.
