DragonQuest - Session 15

The day of the council meeting has come, and Elenya Lindale, V2Z4, and Silvertooth Dreadwind arrive at the council chambers and prepare themselves.  Elenya has prepared a speech, and Silvertooth plans to introduce her.  At the appointed time, they step out onto a balcony within a round room with dozens of balconies, each with councilmen, and a cloaked man sitting in a floating chair at the center.  Beside him is a man standing on a floating disk, covered in rolled up parchments.  The cloaked man is the High Chancellor, and the other is the Chancellor.

The Chancellor spend thirty minutes naming each councilor and their titles before the proceedings begin.  The first councilor to have the floor is Lord Joron of Garethmir, and he begins to update the council on their military's position, supply information, and brings up that Benlag has yet to send his force to join the army at the western coast.

Joron is interrupted by the Councilor of Lyconia, who declares that mounting their army at the edge of the world was a waste of resources, and proposes the armies be sent home until a way beyond the World's Fall can be determined.  The Lord of Lockeface stands, saying that his city was attacked by pirates, and says it would have never happened if the fleet weren't on the west.  The Chancellor declares this to be a good time to introduce the party, as representatives of Benlag.

DragonQuest - Session 14

In Haven, Elenya Lindale elects herself speaker of their party, and etiquette instructor arrives to teach her how to speak with the council.  The first rule is to never, ever, talk directly to the Chancellor.  Elenya prepares a speech hoping to cover all the facts and convince the council to join the cause.

Back at the isle of Benlag, Sibyll Demier and Anton Esio make their way to the fishing village to secure supplies for the capitol city, which they surmise is by now under siege.  As the sun sets, they see smoke off the road.  They sneak over to it to see what it was.

They find a unit of Icurnas troops, dead in their own camp.  They notice shadows moving from corpse to corpse.  They move forward to get a closer look, and realize the shadows are in fact nimble, cloaked figures.

Armor: The Layering

Alright, so I've finally come to a point where I'm satisfied with my armor options for my roleplaying game system.  It took quite a bit of research, but that's why we invented the internet (or something).

I divided my armor into two categories: Light and Heavy.  This is primarily to distinguish it what ways they can be improved through the work of artisanship, as there is no difference in game mechanics, although Light is obviously less protective and weighs less than heavy.  Each category has eight different styles to choose from.

The Apocalypse Journals: Trebor Jr, Entry #4

Written by guest writer Robert Praetorius Jr.


It has been a couple of days since the last time I wrote in this journal. It took me a while to convince the guards to give me this pen and piece of paper.

So somehow Gabe got me into the safe zone and had a doctor named Stacy Woo fix me up for the most part. When this other guy named Doc comes in of the safe zone. It has been transferred to his facility. I don't remember much what happened as I was going in and out of consciousness. But all's I know is one day I was in the docs recovery room, if you could call it that. Truth be told, I did know what to call it.

DragonQuest - Session 13

The party heads north to meet the Benlag war party, as they prepare to meet a yeti army massing in the north.  Although the way, they stop at the capitol city after meeting a rather passive snow leopard.

The city is nearly empty, as every warrior has gone north.  They find a tavern still open and stay for the night.  In the morning, they can't get a decent meal, as all the fresh meat has gone with the warriors.  Silvertooth Dreadwind has some squirrel stew.  Wanting a hot meal in this cold place, Elenya decided to have some squirrel stew as well.  She was used to eating squirrel, as a ranger of the woodland.

From there, it was another day's travel to the north-most city of Benlag.  They passed through a patch of wood and encountered a pack for ten wolves, but they seemed uninterested in attacking.  When they saw the city, they found it surrounded by miles of tents, enough for ten thousand warriors.  They were greeted by a patrol, and they revealed the sigil of Southpaw, and were taken to meet with the war council.
