Dargas Adventures

Here are all of the 1e and 2e Dargas adventures. We've played in the City of the Spider Queen since we converted to V3 and that page tabulates subsequent adventure numbers.

An "adventure" is defined to be "something which has a distinct adventure number assigned to it."

Initially, a new adventure number was assigned for each individual trip to the dungeon - Cobepar or the Temple of Elemental Evil. Since the DM wanted time to pass in his world, he generally advanced time by at least one week between "adventures," or more, if characters needed to train.

Later, when we started playing modules that couldn't be completed in a single sally into a dungeon, a new adventure number was only assigned when XP was awarded: generally at a "break" in the module during which the characters had returned to town for training. Many evenings of gaming might be included in a single adventure number.

We often had multiple parties adventuring in parallel. To make that parallelism easier to understand, the following table is sorted by "Dargas date" rather than by "adventure number."

3 Duergar, 3 Half-Ogre Shamans, 9 Ogrillons, 8 Orogs, 5 Skeletons
After a tough battle, the party prevails and slays the entire opposing party of humanoids, except for one shaman whom they take prisoner. Unfortunately, he has little of use to say, but looks rather unhappy at being released in the outside world. M'Shoogi picks the one magic item - a Phylactery of Long Years - and travels to Mansfield, where he trades it to his high level friends for lots and lots of minor magic items. He is also escorted to Sharrakan's pool by Vandis where it is found that the pool has faded and no longer improves one's Constitution.

Jacques Dutoit, Henry, Twine, M'Shoogi, Danyell, Catherine, Pietr
6 Lizard Men
The party continues exploring level 2 of the Power Tower. We discover many traps: a door trapped with sleep gas, a covered pit of acid and a gem blocking a hollow tube, removal of which causes two corridors to smash shut -- permanently, near as we can tell.
350 5 Oct 95 2985.1.1.3.7 Greyhawk Ruins
Jacques Dutoit, Henry, M'Shoogi, Danyell, Agon, Twine, Catherine, Pietr
1 Stun Jelly
The party continues exploring level 2 of the Power Tower. Danyell gets trapped by a Sepia Snake Sigil and the rest of the party passes through a teleportation chamber. While exploring the new region, we find that our "luck" has been enhanced: we have all acquired a limited ability to "reroll" unfavorable die rolls. This comes in handy when we each individually encounter an aspect of the Goddess of Fate and are asked to choose our destiny. Without the rerolls, 1 of 8 would succeed in the challenge we were offered. With the rerolls, 5 of 8 succeeded. The favorably fated all acquire boons and a golden thread as a souvenir; the ill-fated acquire detriments. None remembers the adventure.

1 Giant Polyp
The party continues exploring level two of the Power Tower. We discover a weird magical fountain of aqua vitae and are nearly defeated by a Giant Polyp, which paralyzed every party member except Jacques. We also discover the means to undo the ill effects of the maze of clown faces -- and then some. Jacques is cured of his STR loss and permanently gains 4 more points of strength. The other party members all get similar gains in stats, HP, or levels. We also find our first substantial cache of magic items - and the elves allow us to keep three of them! We are all happy.

M'Shoogi, Vandis, Ulgi, Granny, Tigerblade, Hermon, Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril
 
M'Shoogi recruits his high-level buddies to re-open the corridors that were blocked by the displacement of the ruby. He enticingly offers the opportunity to enhance luck by exploring the region beyond the teleportation chamber. The party uses Dimensional Folding to reach the ruby. The tube is reblocked, the corridors reopen and the high level characters all acquire rerolls -- and meet the Goddess of Fate. 6 of 7 pass the test; 1 only by the power of a magical item. The party returns to Mansfield, well satisfied.

Flushed with victory, they decide to enter the Power Tower and finish up level two. We enter a room full of alcoves that cause tattoos to appear upon us. When we enter another area of the dungeon, the tattoos disappear and a boon (or bane) occurs.

2 Ghasts, 6 Ghouls, 5 Shadows, 4 Zombies
Upon digging out the (dead) dwarven stonemasons, we discover a nifty magical hammer and various pieces of jewelry. Determined to pass through the walled up passage we had noticed in an earlier room, Qarane valiantly battles the wall while the rest of the party falls to the onslaught of undead. We retreat.

3 Ghouls, 2 Ochre Jellies
Returning to the same passage, this time the party handily defeats the ghouls approaching from behind and explores some twisty little passages, all alike. While climbing a narrow passage without our armor, ochre jellies fall upon our heads. Jacques slays them. After noticing that our two clerics were unconscious, we apply discretion, rather than valor, and withdraw.
369 7 Mar 96 2985.3.1.1.6 Greyhawk Ruins
Jacques Dutoit, Henry, Narg, Tyrn, Catherine, Pietr
1 Crystal Mist, 6 Snakes, 7 Wererats
Fighting our way through the narrow passages, Jacques and Catherine are incapacitated by snakes. Unable to go back, we go forward. We discover a concealed room that appears to be a Mage's study. Tyrn steals the six heavy spellbooks. With much effort and pain, we manage to get the people and loot out of the twisty passages - and are attacked from behind by wererats. Pietr and Henry slay them all. We eventually manage to crawl out of the dungeon and back into town. Tyrn generously decides to sell four of the spell books and splits the proceeds with the party. Fortunately for him, Danyell and Qarane are not present to slay him.

Jacques Dutoit, Henry, Narg, Tyrn, Catherine, Pietr
 
The night before the next full moon, a wererat bearing Henry's sword breaks into Narg's room and attacks him. He is driven off and the next morning, a wounded Henry with tattered clothing wakes up in his room. The party instantly leaps to some conclusions, and, taking Henry into the dungeon that night (for his own safety, and that of the village of Greyhawk), he turns into a wererat again. Catherine succeeds in removing the curse of lycanthropy from him and all are relieved.

Vandis, Tigerblade, Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Hermon, Ulgi, Montgomery

While discovering the falsity of this rumor, we are attacked by the two Iron Golems guarding the cemetary and Granny becomes persona non grata in Beryl, for having inquired about her "lost relative", whose grave was almost immediately disturbed. The body did have a map which led us to a tower of mummies in the midst of a valley guarded by two Greater Basilisks.

Traveling along the ancient Mansfield road, during the first night the party survive's a Banshee's keen. Rather than staying to investigate the Banshee, the party continues along the road and is beset by 4 trolls. Only 3 are slain before the 4th runs off, leaving Roethan dead and Veracity almost dead.

12 Hook Horrors, 5 Ogrillons, 1 Owlbear, 15 Troglodytes
After a long rest, the party returned to the War Tower with Agon. We started exploring the 4th level and discovered a nest of Hook Horrors, who nearly destroyed us. Jacques, using his fancy new Ring of Vampiric Regeneration saved the party's bacon this time. He then proceeded to WIN the "Great Game" with the Dwarves and take home the prize - a 40 pound ingot of gold! Narg grudgingly admits his admiration for Jacques.

Marga, Veracity (DEAD PERM), Gordion (DEAD), Yol (C+M+), Black Star (DEAD), Roethan
1 Banshee
Under Marga's lead, the party heads back to try to defeat the Banshee. It keens the first night, dropping Gordion in his tracks. The entire party chases it through the night, with Roethan lagging behind on his stubby dwarf legs. After the party loses track of the Banshee, they go back to Gordion and discover, to their horror, that his body had been thoroughly looted in the few hours it had been left alone. Gordion is temporarily buried and the party moves to the new camp closer to the Banshee's lair. The next night, it appears again - and slays Black Star and Veracity with its keen. The remaining three find and destroy it during the next day. Back in Mansfield, Veracity fails her resurrection and her body, stripped clean of magic, is returned to her family.

The Guildmaster of the Mansfield Mage's Guild requests that the party travel to Beryl to help out the Guild in that city. We are sent along the road to the west, where wealthy families on the way to the coast have disappeared. Disguised as such a wealthy family, with a few guards and retainers, the whole party excepting Tebryn is snatched away in the night! Tebryn rescues the rest of the party from their state of Temporal Stasis and Teleports back to Mansfield.

1 Beholder, 3 Xorn
Dimensional Folding back to the chamber, the party starts down the passage and is set upon by 3 Xorns and a Beholder. After handily defeating them, we explore the cave and discover a dying ancient man who sets a quest upon us: to save his father, Ormand. He gives us a ring and a pouch, which appear to be artifacts of some sort. The path appears to be through an extraplanar portal. Legend Lore reveals it leads to "the place of eternal despair" and that the keyword is "Kerzac".

The party decides to destroy the den of Beholders before proceeding on the other-planar quest. We do so, discovering that repeated Chain Lightning spells, cast by the Overseer, are capable of bringing even Vandis into unconsciousness. Most memorable quote: Zeight to the undead beholder: "I command you in the name of Elvira to turn!" Most sobering discovery: Zeight charged the Overseer and was slain in one round when six of its eight (powerful) branches hit him. Second most sobering discovery: Ulgi and Zeight used guilt to get Tebryn to Identify a Scarab of Death -- which killed him, of course.

Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Eris, Zeight, Tigerblade, Hermon, Ulgi, Vandis, Xeno
1 Night Hag, 1 Nightmare
Attacked the first night by a Nightmare and a Night Hag, the party is saved only by Tebryn's deft wielding of the Sword of Lamnion. After discovering that the only way to make progress in the Grey Wastes towards a specific destination is to not care whether you reach that specific destination, the party reaches Ormand, who has sunk into the despair characteristic of the Plane. Upon presenting him with his Pouch, he drinks a potion and is invigorated. He directs us to each take a rose into a hollow in Yggdrasil, to follow the passage to the right, and to meet him in Ysgard. We reach Yggdrasil and, successfully avoiding Nidhogg gnawing at the roots, we find the hollow and enter the passage.

3 Dergholoths, 1 Mezzoloth, 2 Piscoloths, 6 Valhallans
Unfortunately, the gate to Ysgard was guarded! Hel herself had set a band of Yugoloths to prevent escape from The Grey Wastes. We defeat them with much difficulty. Cyrril's left arm is sliced off by the mammoth pincers of a Yugoloth. We pick it up and, bearing our roses, pass through to Ysgard. After we use up all of our cures, a band of doughty warriors challenges us to battle. Our six mightiest warriors step forth to do battle. Later, when only Tigerblade, Cyrril, and Tebryn remain standing on our side, matched by the three remaining Valhallans, Ormand steps through the gate and calls an immediate end to the battle. He slanders Tebryn, but is calmed by Hester and Felix. He gives us his thanks and his pouch, and marches on. Seeing yet another band of warriors approaching, Tebryn Plane Shifts everyone back to Dargas -- except Zeight, who had disappeared after falling in battle.

1 Sage (Walter)
The party divides up the treasure found within Ormand's pouch. The pouch itself, an artifact, is granted to Tigerblade. The diamonds are split evenly. The three unbreakable bottles are distributed. And the intriguing IOU, inscribed "return to bearer", for one "Rod" causes much speculation. Tebryn researches how to make a Girdle of Fire Giant Strength for Zeight. While we debate how to acquire the exotic materials needed for the construction, Vandis Communes with Shina-Tsu-Hiko to try and find out about the Rod. Discovering that it is a Rod of Resurrection, is currently possessed by a being who probably will not honor the IOU, and is on an Inner Plane, we hire Walter to find more for us. After a mere five days, he informs us that the Rod was last seen in a clan of Fire Giants on the Dark Continent near Victoria Falls. What luck! We need Fire Giant sweat for the girdle. The rod apparently has left this plane, but we determine to travel to visit the giants to find out more.
374 2 Apr 96 2987.4.1.1.7 Stoned Again
Cyrril (F+), Zeight, Xeno (M3+ STONE), Roethan (STONE), Ivan (F8 DEAD STONE)
3 Annis, 4 Stone Giants, 3 Gorgons, 4 Ogres
Zeight convinces his cousin Ivan to come out of retirement with the lure of giant-hunting to the south. The party travels to a valley in the Pyranees where they are bombarded from above by giants. Taking refuge in a small cave, Cyrril rolls back a boulder - and releases a family of Gorgons, who turn all except Zeight and Cyrril into stone before being themselves slain. The giants approach to see what was up with their pets and are slain by the doughty pair. Making a crude travais, the pair trudge slowly back towards Mansfield, dragging their three stony companions. Three maidens join up - and turn into hags that night. When they and their Ogres are slain, the tired warriors are rescued by Tebryn, who, having spied the sorry band in his Crystal Ball, Teleports in, and returns to Mansfield with everybody. The stoned adventurers all survive the transition back into flesh - except for Ivan, who also fails his Resurrection. Two purchased Limited Wishes allow him to shrug off that misfortune - and the second failed Resurrection as well. A sad adventure indeed - except that Zeight has a Gorgon skin (coated with Oil of Timelessness) to be tanned for use in his new Girdle.
376 18 Apr 1996 2987.4.3.4.7 The Restoration of Squint's Honor
Squint (DEAD), Zeight (DEAD), Ivan (F8), Hazen, Dirgon (F4+C5)
4 Frost Giants, 1 Remorhaz, 3 Smilodons, 4 Yeti
Squint, ever on the lookout to redeem his sullied honor, is summoned to the Fighter's Guild and given a quest for the honor of the Dwarves: to recover the Axe and Hammer that had been intended to grace a ceremonial shield at the Guild, but which had been stolen en route 30 years earlier. Word had arisen of them and Squint was enjoined to gather all the dwarves he could to travel to the far north and inquire of Count Errol of Flynn. The doughty band of dwarves traveled hardily to the far north and, after braving many perils, succeeded in recovering the weapons. Squint's reputation was redeemed and his companions all collected a very nice share of treasure.
377 18 Apr 96 2988.1.1.1.1 Malarky and Eris in Love
Malarky, Eris, Tebryn Filifar, Vandis
 
Malarky trades with Tebryn to acquire a Manual of Stone Golems and gathers enough gold to begin construction. After hiring the finest Sculptor in Mansfield, Malarky invites Eris over to model for his "statue" - and successfully slips her a Philtre of Love! The next three months are bliss for the happy couple, until Malarky successfully animates the golem - an incredibly detailed likeness of a naked Eris in pink marble. Eris runs off in tears. After finding Tebryn to be coldly interested in her plight - but seemingly unsympathetically amused by it, she visits Vandis, who Dispels the charm upon her.

Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Veracity (F3+M3), Dirgon (F5-2C5-2), Xeno, Roethan, Zeight
1 Death Knight, 6 Giant Skeletons, 3 Spectres
A huge masked warrior emanating an aura of Fear appears in Elvira's tavern and demands that he pass on a challenge for Tebryn (and any he chooses to bring) to appear in Zeight's practice field for a duel over the fate of Orga. A doughty party is gathered -- and is attacked by Giant Skeletons, Spectres, and the challenger, a Death Knight. Veracity succeeds in hitting the Death Knight with several arrows, interrupting at least one "day spoiler" of a spell - a 20 die Fireball! The Power Word: Kill directed at Tebryn did NOT get interrupted, but he shrugs it off only due to his Scarab of Protection and his one remaining "reroll". The Death Knight looks quite disconcerted at this, but soon is polished off by Tebryn's Lightning Bolts, having had his Magic Resistance successfully lowered to a manageable level by Tebryn. Meanwhile, 10 energy levels had been lost by the various fighters before they destroyed the other undead. Zeight and Roethan were successfully Restored; Dirgon decided not to take the system shock risk.

379 2 May 96 2988.3.3.1.1 Marga's Treasure Map
Black Star, Nute, Marga, Veracity (F4+M3+), Elma (T2+), Dirgon (C3+F3+)
2 Chimeras, 1 Glass Golem, 1 Mimic
Marga discovers that a book she had retained from the Temple contains a treasure map hidden in the binding. The notation is: "Where the fingers cross the road, enter the valley and see a sight to make you smile" with a crude map of southern Anglia and three unmarked dots. A cartographer identifies one dot as Mansfield, another as Greyhawk, and the third as unknown. The party travels to the third - and discovers a brook running across the road in thin "fingers" of water. We enter the valley and are ambushed by Chimerae. All fall except Nute, who revives the other clerics and gives them a Nap. The rest of the party is soon revived. Entering the valley, we indeed smile at seeing a ruined church with an intact Stained Glass window! Our smiles fade as the Stained Glass knight steps down, blasts us with a Prismatic Spray, and enters battle. Within the church, a chest of treasure is guarded by a mimic, and party goes home richly satisfied.
434 17 Jun 97 2988.4.1.1.1 Greyhawk Ruins

382 18 May 96 2988.4.3.4.1 Off to the Dark Continent!
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Veracity, Eris, Zeight, Tigerblade, Hermon, Vandis
2 Wind Ghosts, 4 Xantravars
The party sets sail in the Mud Ship. Sailing down the Thames, we arrive in Lordstown and eat a sumptuous meal. We sail on and reach the harbor at the mouth of the river, where we are forced to stop, due to the falling of a fog. After we destroy some attacking Xantravars, the fog lifts and we sail on into the channel. Two Wind Ghosts descend and capture Cyrril, and then spit him out into the channel. We defeat the monsters, rescue Cyrril, and successfully land in a port town in Frankia.
383 18 May 96 2988.4.3.4.4 Exploring the locales...
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Veracity, Eris, Zeight, Vandis
3 "House Hunter" Mimics, 4 Phase Spiders
After landing in port, Tigerblade and Hermon head off to the temple of Sif. The rest of the party, following rumors of a dangerous spot in the woods, heads off to investigate. After defeating 4 dangerous Phase Spiders, we enter a clearing with 3 run down buildings. We are surprised when the buildings themselves attack as we approach! They are simply the largest and most specialized mimics we had ever seen.
384 22 May 96 2988.4.3.4.5 A Glowing Priestess and an Exploding Tower
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Veracity (F5+M4+), Vandis
 
We continue to explore the locales. Traveling along a rural road, a Glowing Woman asks us all to describe our Religious beliefs and Observances. We answer and she seems to lose interest and moves on to question the next travelers. We continue. Heading out into a swampy area, we see a beautiful tall tower. Its top explodes before our eyes as we approach, sending large chunks flying in three directions. We stare in shock, briefly - and then discover that random magical spells seem to be going off all over. The Energy Drain that hits Cyrril and the Trap the Soul that imprisons Veracity in a Gem are bad news, indeed! Tebryn and Vandis succeed in Dispelling the tower tops, which are the source of the magical effects. Upon exploring the tower pieces, we discover that one seems to have an intact Magical Circle in it - with some sort of Attraction spell placed on it. We avoid it but ARE attracted to the chest. We open all the locks, disarm all the traps, and with much effort, including traveling back to Mansfield for Tebryn to buy some new spells, we succeed in removing all of the treasure. Cyrril Restored, Veracity untrapped, we deposit Veracity back in Mansfield for 9 weeks of training and return to our Mud Ship.

385 1 Jun 96 2989.1.1.2.1 From Frankia to Iberia
Tebryn Filifar (T+), Cyrril, Tigerblade, Hermon, Zeight, Eris, Vandis
1 Afanc, 1 Larakan, 3 Sirines, 3 Giant Sea Snakes
We decide to shorten our journey by NOT hugging the coast, as we proceed from Frankia to the North West corner of Iberia. The trip is not without hazard, as an Afanc approaches and attempts to sink our Mud Ship in its whirlpool. The Sirines that invade us later reduce Tigerblade to idiocy. We Dispel the effect and find some VERY fancy potions in their lair. Zeight becomes permanently immune to to all disease ! We land in Iberia and Tebryn Teleports back to Mansfield for training, having reached the rank of Master Thief.
386 6 Jun 96 2989.1.1.3.4 The Map of the Imagination: "Skeleton"
Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Vandis, Xeno
4 Mummies, 1 Greater Mummy
The party is staying in an Iberian town, waiting for Tebryn and Veracity to return from training. Tebryn fetched Xeno before leaving for good, as the party needs a mage. We are sold, after an amusing drinking contest, an ancient map. It is labeled (in Spanish) "The Map of the Imagination." Consulting the Sage, Retlaw, we figure out what location is depicted and travel there. We discover a secret room which presents us with a "Hangman" puzzle to solve. The clue: "Dem Bones". The solution: "Skeleton". A potion appears. When Zeight picks it, the party is transported into a crypt. As the coffins open, Xeno grabs and guzzles the potion - and appears to transform into a Vampire! We fight off the pack of mummies, Xeno in gaseous form throughout the battle, and reappear back in the puzzle room. We collect our prize (a bag of gems) and a new puzzle appears...
387 13 Jun 96 2989.1.1.4.3 The Map of the Imagination: "Iron Golem"
Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Vandis, Xeno (M+)
1 Iron Golem, 2 Stone Golems, 3 Margoyles
"I'm crushed" was the clue. "Iron Golem" was the answer. We handily defeat the monsters and collect more gems.
388 13 Jun 96 2989.1.1.4.4 The Map of the Imagination: "Invisible Stalker"
Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Vandis, Xeno
1 Air Elemental, 1 Earth Elemental, 1 Fire Elemental, 1 Water Elemental
"Dust to Dust" is the clue. "Invisible Stalker" was the the answer - but we didn't solve it correctly. Cyrril astutely noted "Invisible", but no other characters (even Vandis) could think of ANY monsters which were named "Invisible xxx". Eventually, Xeno figured out the "Stalker", but when the "S" was said twice, the hangman completed - and we were all afflicted by a Harm spell before being deposited in front of four elementals. Eris was the big hero, managing to Heal both Vandis and Xeno and then throw down Conquer before falling. We defeat the elementals and receive NO treasure.
389 13 Jun 96 2989.1.2.1.1 The Map of the Imagination: "Troll"
Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Vandis, Xeno (DEAD)
2 Cloud Giants, 3 Giant 2-Headed Trolls
The clue: "Green Rubber". The answer: "Troll". The potion appears. Eris conjures a Fire Elemental to help us burn trolls, but when we pick up the potion, we are transported, sans Elemental, to a landscape where we are standing next to a cliff, with a path up. We are under attack! Boulders are raining down upon us. We charge up the path and Cyrril and Zeight enter melee with the Cloud Giants. The slower members of the party are intercepted by Giant Two-Headed Trolls. Both Cyrril and Xeno fall, but Eris is the hero yet again, as she casts Heal upon Zeight, allowing him to polish off Cyrril's Giant and then the remaining Trolls. We transport back and discover, to our chagrin, that Xeno is dead. We Raise him and send him into training. The rest of us spend the time getting to know each other better.
404 19 Sep 96 2989.1.3.2.2 Roethan's Mine Share
Roethan (F6C6), Ivan (F8), Dirgon (F4C5 DIED), Elma (T3), Yol (C6M5)
1 NPC Party
Roethan leads an expedition to the town of Havendorf, a mining town on the west edge of the Alps on the continent. He seeks the mine to which he holds a deeded share. We discover that his share is one of one hundred - and the others are held by a band of squatters. When we confront them, Dirgon is killed, ELma knocked unconscious, and Ivan is charmed. Yol and Roethan retreat to decide what to do.
405 26 Sept 96 2989.1.3.2.2 Wandering in rural Anglia
Marga, Hazen, Kress, Montgomery
7 Ogres, 1 Skeletal Warrior
The party sets forth on a leisurely ramble through rural Anglia. We have many little adventures. A fighter with the peculiar name of Nucum Donac thrusts a gold circlet into Kress's hands - only to be slain by the Skeletal Warrior coming to retrieve it. We defeat it before Kress can become his next victim. We find a village of Large Folk and deactivate the magical effect that had leaked from the wizard's cave. We free a trapped pegasus, remove the permanent Babble spell from an ungrateful girl, and rescue 6 captives from a band of ogres. The mayor of the village, one of the former captives, rewards each of us with a horse. We finally visit a village devoted to the worship of Tyr, filled with humorless folk who arise at 5 AM.
391 27 Jun 96 2989.1.3.3.1 The Map of the Imagination: "Genie"
Tigerblade, Hermon, Xeno, Zeight, Eris, Cyrril, Vandis
1 Dao, 1 Djinni, 1 Efreeti, 1 Janni, 1 Marid
The clue: "Make a Wish". The answer: "Genie". We easily defeat one of each type of (normal) genie and end up with two wish boxes. We wish away Xeno's recent death and wish back Cyrril's magical two-handed sword.
392 27 Jun 96 2989.1.3.3.5 The Map of the Imagination: "Minotaur"
Tigerblade, Hermon, Xeno, Zeight, Eris, Cyrril, Vandis
7 Minotaurs
The clue: "Amazing". The answer: "Minotaur". We appear in a maze and easily defeat a multitude of minotaurs. The one that kept casting Maze spells was surprising, but no harder to defeat in the end. The treasure was a Potion of Scent Neutralization. As one, the party thinks of Eris and presents it to her.
393 1 Jul 96 2989.1.3.4.5 To Algeria
Cyrril, Hermon, Zeight, Tigerblade, Eris, Veracity, Vandis, Tebryn Filifar
1 Insectoid Gargantua, 3 Sea Hags, 3 Giant Octopi
We continue through the straits of Gibralter and land in northern Algeria. We rescue the townfolk from a humongous moth and are richly rewarded when the local ruler hears of our feat and travels to the town. More is promised us if we seek out and destroy the young Gargantuas, rumored to live a month's journey south...
442 21 Aug 97 2989.2.1.1.1 Greyhawk Ruins

Roethan (F6C6), Ivan (F8), Elma (T3+), Yol (C6M5)
1 NPC Party
Repeated raids by Yol and Roethan eventually succeed; we have two clerics to heal two characters, vs. their one cleric to heal 6 (including the charmed Ivan). The final (successful) raid started by un-charming Ivan. All except the Mage are knocked unconscious. The Mage flees into the mine and escapes from another entrance while Roethan slits the throats of the fallen opponents. The mine proves to have been mined out.
394 11 Jul 96 2989.2.1.2.2 The Valley of the Gargantua
Tebryn Filifar, Veracity, Cyrril, Vandis, Tigerblade, Hermon, Xeno, Zeight, Eris
1 Humanoid Gargantua, 3 Larval Insectoid Gargantua, 1 Reptilian Gargantua
We make the journey in eight days, using powerful spells. We destroy not only three larval moths, but a 200-foot long Reptile and a 100-foot tall Humanoid Gargantua. Upon our return we are even more richly rewarded and are the toast of the town for many days.
395 15 Jul 96 2989.2.2.1.1 The Artifact in the Castle
Tebryn Filifar, Xeno (M5+), Vandis, Veracity (M5+), Eris, Tigerblade, Zeight, Hermon, Cyrril
4 Greater Basilisks, 2 Behir, 3 Dracolisks, 1 Sage (Walter)
Traveling on to Palermo, we are startled to be met at the docks by - Walter? He has a little shop in the town which feels uncannily like his shop in Mansfield. He gives us a commission: recover a weird item from the ruined castle above town and we can keep whatever else we find. Fighting our way through Dracolisks, Behir, and Greater Basilisks, we find the item - which looks different to each of us. We cannot move it - but it communicates and says that if we sacrifice a (humanoid) soul to it from a volunteer, it will accompany us. This is quite the quandry! Xeno backs out of his original offer to volunteer, but Walter finds a volunteer. The artifact? creature? possesses the body and answers a burning question of Tebryn's: who is Orga's avenger? The answer: Orga herself, who was really a polymorphed Marilith. Sobering information, indeed!

396 20 Jul 96 2989.2.3.4.2 Walter's Quest
Igor (F7T10), Thermo (M14), Tumelo (F10), Pot, Tigerblade (F4C13), Tebryn Filifar (M13T10), Veracity (F6+M6), Vandis
2 Iron Golems, 2 Hamatulas, 16 Mummies, 1 Greater Mummy, 1 Pit Fiend, 1 Sage (Walter)
As the various Dargasian adventurers were sitting down to breakfast, who should appear but Walter? "It's time!" he exclaimed and *poof* - the party disappeared from their breakfast room and reappeared elsewhere.

There also were also their old friends, Tumulo, and Igor as well as Pot and someone who introduced himself as "Thermo, Archwizard of Fire..." (it went on and on. His full titles: "Thermo, Viscount of the Duchy of Elysia, in the Principality of Northmarch, in the Kingdom of Evendarr, Archwizard of Fire, Ambassador of the Duchy of Elysia, Guildmaster of the Elysian Mage's Guilds, Keeper of the Hoylean Library, Headmaster of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Meddlar")

We had appeared together in a small building and were just beginning our discussion when a Delayed Blast Fireball dropped from a pipe in the ceiling. Most of us dove out the windows or ran out the door. Some were blasted.

Leaving the building, we discovered ourselves to be in a completely lifeless cemetary . Entering a tomb and avoiding many traps (except for the mirror that trapped Tigerblade, which required Vandis to call in his favor from Starwind, who brought THE Patriarch of Sif to cast Remove Curse and release him), we finally had a big battle with a whole gang of mummies. Further investigation showed us a passage with a humming ball which seemed to create a Wild Magic zone. The ball's guardian, a Pit Fiend, came and creamed us - save for the timely (so to speak) use by Tigerblade of a Reverse Time spell.

Auguries regarding the Sphere were confusing. It would seem that it would be beneficial to US to destroy it - but not beneficial to the world. Self-centered arguments not withstanding, we chose to not even attempt to destroy it. We found our way home before managing to disarm the traps on the fancy magical staff and rod we had discovered - and returned home sans items. Drat!

397 1 Aug 96 2989.3.1.1.6 Out of Palermo
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Xeno, Tigerblade, Hermon, Vandis
1 Chronolily, 4 Squealers
The mayor of Palermo asks us to tackle the unknown menace west of town. We headed out and were attacked by peculiar ape-like creatures with a third arm growing out of their backs, which they used to swing through the trees. After defeating them, we found a gigantic flower. When people gazed in it, they saw scenes from the past. We discovered that one could touch the flower and ask to see a particular scene.
400 22 Aug 96 2989.3.1.1.6 Into the Cave
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Xeno, Tigerblade, Hermon, Vandis
4 Ekimmu
Entering the cave, the party successfully passes (and Dispels) a Symbol of Hopelessness. In the next chamber, 3 of us, Zeight, Xeno, and Eris, are possessed and attack the rest of the party! Fighting to subdue, we drive the possessing creatures out of our companions and slay them all.
401 29 Aug 96 2989.3.1.1.7 Deeper into the Cave
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Xeno, Tigerblade, Hermon, Vandis
1 Deepspawn, 2 Gulguthhydrae
After burying the corpses in the next room who had given rise to the Ekimmu, the party rests for the night. We are attacked by a pair of hideous many-headed creatures during the second watch, but defeat them handily. The next morning, while the spellcasters are relearning spells, Cyrril and Zeight investigate the pool in the adjacent room - and are attacked! The fighters polish off the monster while the spellcasters continue their study. Soon thereafter, Cyrril and Xeno get into an altercation and, after Cyrril tosses him into the pool, Xeno goes berserk, lashing out with spells at Cyrril and even Hermon, an innocent bystander. After calming Xeno, the party explores the pool and retrieves much gold and magic. We proceed deeper into the cave with Cyrril and Xeno holding an uneasy peace with each other.
402 5 Sep 96 2989.3.1.1.7 The final exploration of the Cave
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Xeno, Tigerblade, Hermon, Vandis
1 Darktentacles, 1 Casura Ghost, 1 Greater Mimic
The party is attacked by hurled weapons and stones! We defeat the undead manifestation - only to be tricked by a room-sized mimic. We prevail, and discover the light of day at the end of the tunnel. Leaving the cave, we fly and climb down to the river. While crossing it, we are attacked by yet another monster. The flying (and shape-changed) spellcasters are separated from the others by a Wall of Force, but the trapped fighters defeat the horrid creature and we all make it safely back to Palermo.
403 10 Sep 96 2989.3.1.2.1 The Island of the Cyclopes
Tebryn Filifar (T+2), Cyrril, Hermon (F8+), Tigerblade, Vandis, Xeno
12 Cyclopes
Leaving Palermo, the party sails over towards Hellas. Landing on a small island, we spend a hospitable evening with Nikos and Eleni, who warn us that the island is infested with huge one-eyed giants - Cyclopes! As we leave the next morning, we are attacked by an even dozen of them. We prevail after a hard fight. Tebryn slew 3 of them single-handededly with magic while the rest of the party took on the remaining 9. Tigerblade saved Hermon's life by un-doing his death with a well-time Reverse Time spell. Tebryn and Hermon Teleport back to Mansfield where they both train. After his training, Tebryn studies a book and practices what he reads for an additional month, rejoining the Hellenic party after a full 14 weeks pass.

5 Mummies
Hazen buys a map leading, supposedly, to the tomb of a great dwarven hero, Huargin. We investigate and find a tomb of mummies - and a map leading elsewhere.

1 Gelatinous Cube, 2 Ropers, 2 Giant Skeletons, 1 Giant Slug
We follow the other map and fight our way through a series of underground passages, defeating varied creatures, until we reach the REAL tomb of Huargin. Quote of the adventure from Roethan: "He saw Hades and said 'gotta go!'" (After all, who wouldn't say that, in that circumstance?)

Elvira decides that she is ready to get a new familiar and recalls Tebryn's offer to Plane Shift her to Olympus. Tebryn gathers his comrades and Plane Shifts the party to Acheron by mistake. Elvira decides to attempt to summon a familiar anyway, after we defeat a horrid group of alien monsters at much cost to our magic items. No familiar arrives, as far as anyone sees...

Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Vandis, Tigerblade, Hermon, Zeight, Eris
10 Farastu Gehreleths
We arrive in Corinth. Zeight, Hermon, and Cyrril all wake up the morning after an orgy garbed, near as they can tell, in togas. We chastise the trickster and gain an ancient book, which speaks of the "Prince" entombed via magic with a fortune in jewels on the Black Spire. We locate this mountain and release a seemingly never ending stream of Farastu. We manage to defeat them all when their Gate spells finally fail to bring more allies.
411 6 Nov 96 2989.4.3.3.1 Seeking trouble in Northern Anglia
Hazen (T9), Kress (F7 DIED), Box (F5+), Granny (D7+), Yol (C6M5), Veracity (F7M6+)
1 Displacer Beast, 1 Ghost, 1 Shambling Mound
The party hears a rumor of strange doings far to the north. We travel to the afflicted town and stay in the farmhouse of an unfriendly and suspicious farmer who "don't want no adventurers in town!" Breakfast being served at 5:30 the next morning, the hedonistic members of the party failed to make it and were FORCED to take food from the larder to make their own breakfast. We head farther north to encounter the source of the problems - a Ghost. We defeat it, but not before four of us are aged by its terrible grasp. Investigating farther along the path, we slay a fearsome Displacer Beast - and the four cubs imprint upon Box. He leaves them, rather than bringing them back to cause havoc in civilization. Exploration in the lair reveals a moss filled cavern with a waterfall, behind which lurks a fearsome Shambling Mound! We slay it, but not before Kress is smothered. Crestfallen (so to speak), we head back towards Mansfield - and are accosted on the road by two dozen of the King's Watch,summoned by the vile, aggrieved wretch of a farmer, who had so stingily refused the hungry late risers their due breakfast. We pay him - and must also give a substantial bribe to the Captain to avoid being dragged off to Beryl. We arrive back in Mansfield and have Kress raised and everyone's Youth Restored.

430 26 May 97 2989.4.3.4.6 The Defective Mana Generator
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Elvira Muncid, Tigerblade, Hermon, Vandis
2 Firetails, 8 Cloud Giants
The party meets with Walter and Alkys and is sent on a mission of Inter-Planar importance: we must destroy the defective mana generator that we'd located in a prior adventure. We are sent off - and arrive in a different location. We fight though the various guardians and Cyrril smashes the mana generator with his magical morningstar - even though the image of Alkys is within it and Vandis has grave fears about the consequences.

We appear back in Mansfield, a month later, and discover that magic appears to have left Dargas: Mages have no power and Clerics cannot contact their gods. The populace panics and there is much rioting and destruction. Three weeks later, mana starts to return and after a week, all is back to normal. Alkys, however, is permanently gone. Fortunately for him and Vandis, he is Cloned.

Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Zeight, Eris, Tigerblade, Hermon, Xeno, Sohn (R+), Vandis
2 Aboleths, 1 Tempest
As we prepare to depart for Crete, we are approached by a young Ranger, seeking to join us. His village had been destroyed by pirates and he wished to follow them south. We set to sea - and were beset by a Tempest, a malevolent storm cloud. We submerged to escape it. Spying a sunken ship, we explored it, only to find it was an Aboleth illusion. We defeated the Aboleths, looted their lair, and escaped the Tempest.

The party is met by a legion sent by the King and is "requested" to meet with him. The King sends the party into his labyrinth for the amusal of his court. The party defeats the various guardians - even though Zeight and Tigerblade are turned into stone. We are rewarded with a mess'o'gems.
461 19 Nov 97 2990.2.1.1.6 The Temple of Thoth in Cairo
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Tigerblade, Hermon, Sohn (R+), Vandis
 
The party arrives in Cairo. Tebryn is interested in locating the temple of Thoth, but people seem strangely reluctant to speak of that god. There is no Temple. Surreptitious inquiries and ESP spells reveal that Thoth is an outcast god. We do succeed in locating his Cult at the University and are escorted to his secret temple - a very fine library. Tebryn offers to seek additional books for this library.
463 4 Dec 97 2990.2.1.1.7 Rescue from the Desert Temple
Tebryn Filifar, Cyrril, Tigerblade, Hermon, Sohn, Xeno, Vandis
12 Mummies, 1 Greater Mummy
When we return to our ship, we are approached by a very distraught T, who informs us that his sister has been kidnapped. He implores our aid. We determine that we must go to the Pyramids. The Pouch revealing that a particular temple is our destination, we invade - and are allowed to retreat by the greater mummy, after the two Mages had flown away in Fear, all others except Tigerblade were paralyzed with Fear - and Tigerblade had just been afflicted by a Harm spell. We retreat, Nap, plan, and successfully defeat the mummies and rescue T's sister. We've made friends for life in the Cult of Thoth of Cairo.

We take the mud ship up the Nile. We discover the secret cove where the pirate ship was concealed. We approach the pirate lair, only to discover that all but one had been slaughtered! We go to seek the creatures that did it and are attacked by the band of Desert Giants. When we go back to the ship, we find that the pirate ship had departed! For reasons unknown, the leaders had sold out the band and had escaped.

Marga, Veracity, Hazen (T9+), Kress, Yol
32 Duergar, 12 Steeder Spiders, 5 Sword Spiders
The party is summoned and is given a Grand Quest: to recover the Shards of the Day! The party is given the Shard of Dawn (a rainbow colored long sword with the Air Rune) and is instructed to retrieve the Shard of Noon (a glowing yellow long sword with the Fire Rune), the Shard of Midnight (an inky black long sword with stars and the Water Rune) and the silver hemisphere marked with the Earth Rune that will hold all three swords. The missing pieces have been divined to be in the ruined Underdark city of Dylvwyllynn. A passage to that city has been located beneath an inn in Mansfield.

Escorted to the cellar of the Inn, the party descends. Not too far under the city, the facade of a fortress is found. Over the doorway hangs a curtain of dangling skeletons. Venturing within, the party is surrounded by Duergar and Spiders. We defeat them all and rescue three Deep Gnomes: Ablund, Detek, and Inglang. We head to the surface to allow Hazen to train.

468 18 Dec 97 2990.2.1.3.2 The Fate of Vandis
Vandis, Tigerblade, Tebryn Filifar
 
After much meditation, Vandis realized what must be done to correct his ill-fate. He Teleports to Nippon with Tigerblade and Tebryn and communes with his God. He gives up his four most significant magical items and dedicates his life to the service of Shina Tsu Hiko, and Tigerblade gives up his Fate granted boon of always hitting for maximum damage. The offering is accepted, Tigerblade is granted custody of Life Shielder, and the party Teleports back to Mansfield. Vandis is shaken but soberly accepting of his new life goals.

2 Psionic Illithids, 19 Kuo-toa, 4 Svirfneblin, 1 Svirfneblin (Irzangle), 8 Troglodytes, 3 Trolls
Escorting our freed captives back to the Deep Gnome enclave, we speak with the Burrow Warden, Irzangle. He gives us useful information: The white-haired elves hold the Starry Blade, while the Fish Men of the Lake have the Bright Blade. He offers to give us information on the silver hemisphere - and 5000 GP of jewelry - if we will perform a service for his community. We must guard a band of miners while they collapse 10 tunnels to the north to prevent the Beholder from destroying more of his tribe! We agree.

The next day, we start our guard duty. We destroy two slave-seeking bands of Kuo-toa - the fish men. We barely defeat a pair of Mind Flayers and their Troll slaves. We head back to the Deep Gnome complex to lick our wounds and plan strategy.

After our encounter with the Illithids and Trolls, we decide to restock our supply of Greek Fire Oil. We head to the surface and restock - and recruit Nute.

Reentering the city, we continue our guard duty. As one tunnel is being collapsed we are attacked by - a Beholder! But, no - it turns out to be a Gas Spore. While dealing with that we are attacked by a trio of spellcasting Driders and their horde of Giant Spiders. We defeat them all. Searching, we find a nest of Gas Spores and rescue the Deep Gnome, Ablingal, trapped in the room. We also liberate a chest of treasure! Flush with victory, we barely defeat another pair of Mind Flayers and Trolls. Again, we return to the Deep Gnome enclave to heal and plan. We return Nute to the surface to train.

Marga, Veracity, Hazen, Kress, Yol
20 Kuo-toa, 7 Troglodytes
With great confidence, we continue our guard duty. Our confidence qualifies as cockiness, as the party is almost defeated by a band of Kuo-toa, whom we had previously dismissed as "wimps". It turns out that they have many unusual abilities - such as the ability to see invisible and ethereal creatures, the ability to hurl harpoons that stun their target, and shields to which melee weapons adhere. Only Veracity's ace archery prevents the Svirfneblin workers from being enslaved. But, 7 tunnels are now sealed!

5 Violet Fungi, 1 Russet Mold, 3 Sword Spiders, 15 Vegepygmies
Continuing our guard duty, we defeat a small group of Sword Spiders, as the gnomes seal the 10th tunnel. Triumphantly returning to the Deep Gnome burrows, we collect our reward. Irzangle tells us the the silver hemisphere is being held by a group of Myconids to the north. The next day, we head north.

Passing through underground Fungus Gardens, Yol and Veracity cannot resist spending the day gathering samples. This allows us to experience many encounters with plants. Eventually, we find the Myconid enclave. We present the King with the fungal potions we had previously captured from the Driders and he tells us he will give us the Silver Hemisphere - if we will just do a little task for him... The "tentacled ones" are brewing a dust that makes Myconids fight one another. If we bring back a sample of the dust or the formula to make it, the King will present us with the hemisphere. He tells us the the tentacled ones live down some stairs to the south west.

Heading south and west, the party discovers stairs Down. Noting that we've discovered the way to the Illithids, we carefully continue west - and discover the shore of Lake Atrox. We are beset by two patrols of Kuo-toa. After a long fight, we perform a strategic withdrawal back to Mansfield to allow Yol to train and to make further plans.

The party decides to Fly out to the island they had dimly spied out in Lake Atrox. We do so - and discover the entire community of Kuo-toans alert to our arrival. We do a certain amount of havoc - but not until the leader of the community is repeatedly struck by Veracity's arrows does he call for a parlay. We negotiate with the Duke and form an alliance against the Drow. We agree to meet on the shore of the lake two days hence for a sally into the Drow enclave.

We meet the Kuo-toan war band. The Duke has sent one of his captains and two of his lieutenants, along with a monitor, two whips, and 8 flunkies. We join forces and enter the passage to the Drow community. We easily defeat the guard post with its Umber Hulk. Entering deeper, we find a cross-passage of seeming strategic importance: three passages are blocked by portcullises. We battle Drow and Umber Hulks. Amidst the resulting Confusion, a Drow Mage observes the battle and slings spells at us - as well as releasing a Xorn into our midst. When the Drow clerics start to arrive along with their High Priestess, we deem it prudent to strategically withdraw and come back another day. We safely return to the Myconid colony to discuss our adventure with Nute.

We defeat the treacherous Kuo-toans. The Duke, a high level Cleric/Thief, is unable to do anything dastardly, as Veracity's Ultravision and Detect Invisibility spells make him clear as day to her when he tries to hide in shadows, allowing her to pepper him with arrows.

The party arrives at the lair of the Fire Giants in the volcano. We are "tested" upon arrival with a fierce battle, but are then allowed to visit in peace. We smoke a special peace pipe, with hallucinogenic pipe weed - and Zeight sees that the Fire Giants' pet black panther is orange! At least, it LOOKS that way. We agree to rescue the Fire Giant Chief's son, who has been captured by a band of nasty adventurers.

2 Clerics, 1 Dwarf, 4 Fighters, 1 Mage, 1 Thief
We track the party to their lair and have a fearsome battle! Just as the tide turns in our favor - the big Mage's protective spells all fall, and such - our foes make a tactical retreat through a Phase Door. We rescue the Fire Giant Boy, collecting some Sweat from him along the way (he having sweated in fear) and return to the Fire Giant Clan in victory. We collect the red (?) panther and Ormond's Rod and Teleport back to Mansfield so Cyrril, Eris, and Tigerblade can train, and Tebryn can begin the long process of making Zeight's girdle!

Yol, Veracity, Igor
3 Stone Giants, 3 Stone Golems, 3 Stone Lions, 1 Stone Snake
The party is snatched up, mid-step, and transported into a chamber. We hear a call requesting rescue - followed by evil chuckles. We defeat a set of monsters with a stone motif, and are transported back to where we'd been snatched, heavily battered. Each character decides to get healed up before retiring, lest we get snatched again.
440 3 Aug 97 2990.3.2.1.7 The Rescue
Yol, Veracity, Igor, Tumelo
1 Scaladar Automaton, 1 Behir, 1 Bone Naga, 2 Winged Snakes
Sure enough, the very next day, we are transported to the same chamber. We defeat a set of monsters with a lightning motif and free the trapped Being who had summoned us. She rewards us by allowing us to Wish for an item. The three of us who had lost items wished for them back - and they appeared, enhanced. Yol, who had always hidden herself away from battle, had lost nothing - but wished for and received the best Bracers ever heard of.
448 18 Sep 97 2990.3.2.2.3 Lifting a Curse

Kress notices that he is aging abnormally quickly. Veracity and Kress have had dreams reminiscent of the "Ghost in the Crossroads" adventure. A Commune reveals that the aging is a curse resulting from that adventure. We Teleport to the location and lay the ghost to rest with half of the treasure we'd taken - and the curse is lifted.

2 Illithids, 5 Trolls
The party makes another sally into the Mind Flayer complex. This time, one groups stays back and battles Trolls at the entrance while a strike force consisting of Veracity, Yol, and Hazen venture in Ethereal. We loot the Mind Flayer laboratory, but fall prey to Dust of Contrariness when greed leads us back to the Mind Flayer sleeping quarters. We barely escape. The party returns to the Myconids, having acquired the necessary Dust sample to exchange for the Silver Hemisphere. With that and the three swords, our quest is complete. We return to the surface and collect our reward.

All is not well; we are informed that we have not really finished the job. We return to the Plane of Elemental Water and defeat a ferocious dragon, as well as the same five humans - but this time, Poseidon himself finishes the job for us, striking dead the Appointed Four, they having fallen short of his expectations.

503 24 Feb 00 2991.1.3.2.6 Ex Keraptis Cum Amore
Kress, Ivan, Hazen, Marga (C9+), Elvira Muncid, Vandis
1 Baelnorn (Daetas), 1 Torhoon Crypt Thing, 2 Umber Hulk Golems, 6 Ildriss, 6 Piercers, 2 Black Puddings, 2 Stone Puddings
Returning to the complex, we defeat the Baelnorn - again. We recover the Stone from a chamber filled with many thousands of identical stones. Exploring another path, we defeat some Ildriss and a very annoying Crypt Thing, who repeatedly used his Wand of Magic Missiles and his Scarab of Insanity upon us, and finally defeat two Umber Hulk Golems to recover the Wand. The party goes down the third passage and opens a door to find - a banshee! Kress thinks quickly and immediately closes the door, as its mouth is twisting open to wail - but not before both Vandis and Marga have taken fear and run back - straight into a pit of Black Puddings. They escape and the party takes a different route. We answer the Gargoyle's riddle and avoid battle. Down a tube to view a gigantic red and black lizard, sleeping. We back out and come back, prepared to battle a red dragon. Ivan and Kress charge forth - and are turned to stone! Vandis rescues them and we return to Mansfield to get the warriors unpetrified.
504 13 Mar 00 2991.2.1.1.1 Ex Keraptis Cum Amore
Kress (F8), Ivan (F9), Hazen (T11), Marga (C11), Elvira Muncid, Vandis
1 Banshee, 1 Dracolisk
We return to the dungeon and, with better planning, swiftly defeat the Dracolisk. From its horde, we recover the Gem. Before departing home for good, we again carefully plan and defeat the Banshee and loot its horde. The three parts of the artifact recovered, we return to Mansfield to plan its reassembly.
505 27 Mar 00 2991.2.1.1.2 Ex Keraptis Cum Amore
Kress (F8), Ivan (F9), Hazen (T11), Marga (C11), Elvira Muncid (C9F8M9), Vandis
1 Efreeti (Brix), 1 Efreeti (Brax), 1 Suel Lich (Orlysse), 1 Shade Priest, 10 Shade Warriors, 1 Shade Wizard
In Mansfield, Marga Communes with Sif to learn as much as possible about the Infinity Wand before we attempt to reassemble it. She learns that there is only one way to assemble it, and that we will be teleported into the presence of its master, should we do so. We will be faced with undead, magic, and fire-using creatures. Having learned this, we hire Walter to research the Infinity Wand, so we can at least use it in the battle. Preparing carefully, with protective spell and Incense, we assemble the wand and are teleported to a shadowy arena! Orlysse, a hideous Suel Lich, cackles with delight as we appear: "At last! You have survived my dungeon and stand before me as slaves!" Much besieged by powerful shades and numerous spells cast by Orlysse, we slowly gain the upper hand - only to be Banished back to Mansfield!
506 10 Apr 00 2991.2.1.3.5 Ex Keraptis Cum Amore
Kress (F8), Ivan (F9), Hazen (T11+), Marga (C11), Elvira Muncid (C9F8M9), Vandis (C11)
1 Efreeti (Brix), 1 Efreeti (Brax), 1 Suel Lich (Orlysse), 1 Shade Priest, 10 Shade Warriors, 1 Shade Wizard
Knowing exactly what we face, the party plans for it and Plane Shifts back to Devastus. We destroy the shades and blast Orlysse out of his own body. Before he can possess a new one, we Dispel Evil upon him and he is gone forever! Brix and Brax offer us Wishes, but we think better of accepting such a boon from Evil creatures and simply opt to return to Mansfield.
507 29 July 00 2991.3.1.3.1 The Iron Orb of the Duergar
Kress (F8+), Igor (T11+), Veracity (F8+M9+), Hazen, Marga (C11+), Vandis (C11+)
1 Cleric (Olvmar), 14 Duergar, 1 Duergar (Nilglot), 20 Fighters, 5 Frost Giants, 4 Iron Golems, 6 Margoyles, 2 Ropers, 12 Snow Spiders, 12 Steeder Spiders, 2 Umber Hulks, 7 Winter Wolves
The party is sent to investigate problems in Cisra. The city has been sacked by the Northmen, who have been roused to new fury by their leader, Olvmar. We travel to Tallborg and seek Ragnar in Ulf's tavern. We speak with him and Anja and discover that Olvmar was possessed by a black sphere of iron, unearthed in a mine a year ago. We travel to the mine and foil the Duergar's plot to build a gigantic Iron Golem, powered by the artifact. Veracity snatches the globe from Olvmar's hands just as he is about to insert it into the iron head.
508 21 Sept 00 2991.4.3.4.1 Vortex of Madness: City of Glass
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Marga, Vandis
1 Githzerai, 1 Iron Golem, 1 Ormyrr (Krazy Kroaker)
The party opens a lead box they brought back from the North and a portal appears. Passing through, we find ourselves in Limbo. After battling an Iron Golem, we are sent to retrieve a book, De Rebus Antiquis, from the Marid's City of Glass on the Elemental Plane of Water. We make a copy via Diplomacy, after Vandis and Veracity polymorph into the forms of a Marid and a Jann.
509 5 Oct 00 2991.4.3.4.7 Vortex of Madness: Titans on Tartarus
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Marga, Vandis
8 Barbazus, 2 Incubi, 1 Mephit (Marcos), 4 Succubi, 1 Titan (Themis), 1 Titan (Mnemosyne), 16 Vargouille
Upon handing over the book, we are tested again by battling fierce Tanar'ri: Barbazu and Succubi. Overcoming them, our next mission is the Plane of Tartarus to free two Titans, Themis and Mnemosyne, and obtain a sample of the black Godstone being used to build a giant Acropolis.

Arriving in Tartarus, we plunge into the River Styx. All lose their memory - Marga and Igor permanently! We make our way to the Acropolis and Veracity obtains samples of the Godstone using stealth. The Titans restore the memory of Igor and Marga - but "borrow" the Infinity Wand to (possibly) free themselves. Marga is invited to come back some time later to get the Wand back - assuming it was not destroyed.

510 19 Oct 00 2992.1.1.2.4 Vortex of Madness: Demiplane of Invention
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Marga, Vandis
1 Gnome (Flant), 1 Mage (Leonis), 1 Purple Worm
Back in Limbo, we appear in a playroom full of giant toys. We decipher a puzzle. Hazen turns the crank of a giant Jack-in-the-box and out pops a Purple Worm!

Defeating it, we are sent to the Demiplane of Invention to attempt to acquire a workbook and sample of technology from the Wizard Leonis. Ideally we are also to bring back the created being, Vita.

Arriving on the demiplane, we avoid dangerous machines and find a colony of tinker Gnomes who revere Leonis as a god. We fly up to Leonis' floating tower and enter with difficulty. Encountering him, we find him to be completely uncooperative. He Wishes us away. We return via stealth and steal a workbook. Collecting a crashed flying machine and Vita, we return with our loot. Upon arrival in Limbo, Vita exploded.

511 2 Nov 00 2992.1.1.3.4 Vortex of Madness: The Citadel of Gith Reborn
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen (T+), Marga, Vandis
10 Githyanki Fighters, 1 Githyanki Fighter (Qitar), 2 Githyanki Mages, 1 Githyanki Mage (Zethik)
Back in Limbo, the party slices their way through hundreds of shades and is given a new mission: acquire a sample of God Essence from Zethik, the librarian in the Citadel of Gith Reborn on the Astral Plane. This is so-named because it is the base of Zellor, a Githyanki who manifests powers that lead many to believe she is Gith reborn.

We arrive on the Astral and convince the suspicious and xenophobic Githyanki to allow us to aid in defending the Citadel. We help to repel an attack. We discover that Zethik has a secret room down some stairs from the library. We sneak down and steal the God Essence. Veracity also "acquires" one of Zethik's research books, containing a new spell!

512 30 Nov 00 2992.2.2.1.1 Vortex of Madness: Baron Lum the Mad
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Marga, Vandis
1 Mage (Baron Lum, the Mad)
The party returns to Limbo for the last time to find out who had been sending them forth on these missions, and find a huge machine with many levers, dials, and knobs. Feverishly manipulating it is Baron Lum, who does not seem fully rational. We end up battling him and destroying the machine with Vandis' Sphere of Annihilation.
513 7 Dec 01 2992.2.2.2.1 Rod of Seven Parts: Sign of the Golden Cockatrice
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Vandis
1 Hound of Law, 13 Kakkuu, 1 Lycosidilith
Flushed with the glow of Victory following the encounter with Baron Lum, the party, sans Marga, who has duties in the Temple of Sif, is summoned by Alkys and sent to Lordston to investigate goings-on said to be centered at an Inn, the Sign of the Golden Cockatrice. The party visits the Inn and gambles with various patrons, including Rance, who has a small rod with healing powers. Veracity, coveting this minor item, follows him out back of the Inn, where he is beset by Spider Fiends. The party joins in to defeat the creatures, and Veracity ends up in possession of what turns out to be segment #1 of the Rod of Seven Parts, which we discover by expensively consulting Walter. Veracity becomes even more fastidious, as a result of owning the piece of the Rod.
514 4Jan 01 2992.2.2.3.1 Rod of Seven Parts: Spelunking
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Vandis
1 Aboleth, 1 Giant Badger (Thisbe), 1 Cave Fisher, 2 Giant Crayfishs, 2 Drider Clerics, 1 Drider Mage, 1 Gnome (Mazzel Quickblade), 4 Leeches, 1 Purple Worm, 5 Shriekers, 12 Skums, 2 Giant Spiders
Segment #1 of the Rod leads the party North - far North. We discover and explore a cave complex filled with a colony of Skum. Finally, in a flooded section of the cave, we defeat an Aboleth and extract the second segment of the Rod. Kress was Dominated by the Aboleth, but fortunately Veracity was able to Dominate him right back.
515 8 Feb 01 2992.3.1.4.1 Rod of Seven Parts: Lawful Hairs
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Vandis
1 Fire Giant, 1 Kirin, 1 Wind Duke (Arquestan)
In order to assemble the rod, the party needs the hairs of both an Evil and a Good Lawful creature - freely given. Vandis is friends with a clan of Fire Giants, and goes to negotiate with them. The party asks Walter how to summon a Kirin, and does so. With the Good and Evil hairs, Hazen is able to make the appropriate Brush, and joins the 2 segments of the rod. The joined Rod goes to Veracity, who becomes even more Lawful. She is Not Happy about the side effects and ponders her options.
516 15 Feb 01 2992.3.2.2.1 Rod of Seven Parts: Uninvited Guests
Kress, Igor (T+), Veracity, Hazen, Vandis
1 Silver Dragon (Kieran), 1 Elf Cleric/Mage (Ruusa), 1 Elf Fighter/Thief (Ciellan), 2 Cloud Giants, 1 Fire Giant (Siiri), 3 Fire Giants, 3 Hell Hounds, 10 Kakkuu, 2 Ogres, 1 Phisarazu
The Rod leads us East towards segment #3. During the journey, Veracity makes Hazen's life completely miserable, casting Suggestion after Suggestion to induce him to take over ownership of the Rod. He steadfastly resists. As we approach the 3rd segment, we learn that there will be a marriage between a male Cloud Giant and a female Fire Giant - and deduce that the bride's mother has the 3rd segment. We join up with a pair of Elven spider hunters and infiltrate the wedding. We find and acquire the segment of the Rod - and flee for our lives when the occupants of the castle descend upon our heads. Hazen attaches segment #3 - and decides to keep the joined Rod. Veracity is relieved.
517 1 Mar 01 2992.4.1.1.5 Rod of Seven Parts: Caravanserai
Kress (DEAD), Igor, Veracity (FM+), Hazen, Vandis (C+)
2 Efreet, 2 Imps, 10 Jann, 6 Medusae, 2 Mephits, 1 Wererat (Finnek)
Led by the Rod, the party travels to a region of Desert and defeats a group of Genies, Jann, and Medusae to acquire the 4th segment, which is easily joined with the first 3 parts.
518 29 Mar 01 2992.4.2.4.3 Rod of Seven Parts: Into the Vastest Bog
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Vandis
1 Black Dragon (Acidykeen)
The party travels North to find the 5th segment and finds that it is in the middle of a bog which is rumored to be the home of a Black Dragon. Traveling into the lair of the dragon, this turns out to be true - but the dragon is more than willing to hand over the segment peacefully, not liking the side effects of possession one little bit. The party returns home and attaches segment #5.
519 5 Apr 01 2992.4.3.2.4 Rod of Seven Parts: The Forgotten Temple
Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen (T+), Vandis
5 Black Abishai, 5 Green Abishai, 2 Ghasts, 13 Ghouls, 1 Greater Mummy (Deitrich), 1 Pit Fiend (Ulthut)
The Rod leads the party back to Lordston, where it points to the gate of a ruined temple. When approached by the Rod-holder, this becomes a Gate to a pocket dimension where the temple is intact - and inhabited. After defeating many Abishai and a Greater Mummy, the master of the the realm, a Pit Fiend, voluntarily hands over the 6th segment of the Rod, under the condition that we travel to Pandemonium to get the 7th segment.
520 26 Apr 01 2993.1.2.1.1 Rod of Seven Parts: The Citadel of Chaos
Kress, Igor (DEAD), Veracity, Hazen, Vandis
1 Bodak, 5 Kakkuu, 3 Phisarazus, 1 Raklupis, 1 Spider Fiend (Miska the Wolf Spider), 1 Spithriku, 1 Wind Duke (Arquestan), 1 Wind Duke (Qadeej)
While planning the expedition to Pandemonium, the party is approached by Arquestan the Wind Duke who offers to take them right to the location of the last segment. Qadeej, another Wind Duke, appears and helps us plan. Arquestan gives Igor a powerful Lawful sword and takes us to the Citadel of Miska. We enter though a rift in the Cocoon of Law, battle various Spider Fiends, and find the central complex of Miska. While there, Igor and Vandis foolishly unwrap a Bodak, who slays Igor. Upon entering Miska's inner chamber, we are beset by powerful Spider Fiends - and by Miska himself. Outmatched, we run back to Arquestan to return to Mansfield for additional planning.

The planning proves sufficient: we returned to the Citadel and very quickly destroyed Miska's minions. Hazen then installed the final segment of the Rod, just as Miska attacks! We battle until Hazen pokes him with the Rod - and he deflates. We go to the Vale of Aaqa, are feted as heros, and are richly rewarded by the Wind Dukes, who are now our eternal friends and allies.

521 28 July 01 2993.1.2.4.1 Die, Vecna, Die! - Tovag Baragu to the Adytum
Tumelo, Kress, Igor (DEAD), Veracity, Hazen, Elvira Muncid, Vandis
2 Carrion Shamblers, 1 Centaur (Balophan), 12 Centaurs, 10 Fighters, 5 Fingers of Vecna (Thieves), 9 True Ghouls, 18 Stone Guardians, 1 Huge Mongoose, 7 Ogres, 19 Teeth of Vecna (Mages), 4 Trolls
The party is summoned to meet in a private room in Elvira's bar. A ghostly figure, seemingly of Vandis's faith, arrives and gives us a quest: to stop whatever it is that Iuz, "The Corpse King" is up to in Tovag Baragu ("The Naval of Dargas"), a place of much Vecnan activity. We are given a Vecnan cultist's message mentioning Tovag Baragu that has a strange sequence of numbers and also a rod with Plane Shift and Resurrection abilities.

Tovag Baragu turns out to be a huge circle of Standing Stones with some of them acting as strange portals. As we ponder this, we are backstabbed in a hit and run attack. The invisible flying Veracity follows the backstabbers and sees them disappear through arch #3.

We follow them - and find ourselves in an alternate Tovag Baragu, complete with strange arches. There is a tower of Vecnans from which we are challenged. We claim that we are enemies of Iuz and negotiate, although Igor and Tumulo are feeling very undiplomatic at dealing with Vecnans - when we had been backstabbed by Vecnans, seemingly. We learn that the priestess Ugwearyl leads the cultists "in the Adytum, further within the parallels."

While we are negotiating, we are beset by centaurs, who hate both Vecnans and Iuzians. Upon learning that we are not Vecnans, are opposed to Iuz and are planning on going in deeper, their leader, Balophan, joins us.

From the comment that there are "deeper parallels", we guess that the arches in this alternate Tovag Baragu lead deeper in - and that the list of numbers on the cultist's message is a key, coding which arches should be followed. We come up with a way to interpret this which does, in fact, lead us on a relatively "safe" path to the Adytum.

The party makes its way through the parallels and reaches the Adytum. A strange sickly light negates invisibility. We begin our exploration and find a laboratory. A fell creature, a Carrion Shambler, guarded the laboratory itself; many traps secure an inner room that contains Necrotic substances and other peculiar items, including an "Emergency Golem" and a "Transfer Apparatus".

We open another door, find another laboratory, similarly equipped, guarded and trapped as before with Stone Guardians. Igor entangles them, instructing us, as always, to "keep your swords away from the entangled foes and my rope!" This time, however, Veracity, overcome by Blood Lust, Suggests that he should release them so that ALL could help in their destruction. Igor finds this Suggestion to be completely reasonable and releases them - and the party takes a lot of unnecessary damage before we destroy the Stone Guardians.

That night, the weakened party is attacked by another Carrion Shambler which engulfs Kress and Igor - and kills Balophan and Igor. The slain wretches are Resurrected, but the night is not yet over: while resting, we are beset by a party of Teeth of Vecna: low-level mages. Igor entangles them and we question them. We learn that a door we could not get through, the Atrium, was locked down when Iuz attacked, and that only someone wearing a relic of Vecna can pass through. The Hand and Eye are beyond the door, but many minor relics are on this side. We release the prisoners.

The next day, we were attempting our foray into this side of the Adytum by attacking some Iuzian Ogres and Trolls when another group of Teeth and Fingers (thieves) of Vecna attack us! Igor entangles the Vecnans with his rope and we defeat both the Iuzians and Vecnans. This time, the Centaur steps on the entangled foes with his hooves, Igor punches them, and Veracity Scourges them. Unfortunately, the one unentangled mage had cast a ground zero fireball, killing himself, and somewhat damaging some of us - but destroying Tumulo's Vest of Giant Ears. Tumulo vows that he will never ally or cooperate with followers of Vecna.

In the morning, we proceed down the hall that had been guarded by the Iuzians. At the end, Kress fell prey to a horrible trap: a pit opened and he fell onto a huge spike and was impaled! When Igor fell on top of him, Igor had a softer landing, but Kress was impaled even more. While we considered what to do, a door opened behind us, and many powerful human fighters poured out - a group of mercenaries hired by Iuz's side. We defeat some of them, and after Veracity Levitated a thankful Kress off the spike and Elvira sealed the door with a Wall of Ice (for Fidelis, Vandis's Hound of Law, had told us there was a Gorgon in the room) we made a tactical withdrawal back to the adjacent parallel to rest and plan. Alas, we were ambushed by four more Teeth of Vecna before we reached cover. Killing them, we rested and planned our further assault on the Adytum.

522 13 Sept 01 2993.1.2.4.6 Die, Vecna, Die! - The Adytum: to the library
Tumelo, Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Elvira Muncid, Vandis
2 Carrion Shamblers, 1 Cleric (Dopa Nu'Larseen), 5 Fighters, 6 True Ghouls, 1 Gorgon, 6 Skeletons, 1 Thief, 6 Zombies
Upon returning to the Adytum, we headed back to the mercenary gang and, being prepared, defeated them and their pet Gorgon with ease: while the Thief leading the party attempted to backstab one of us, the invisible Veracity snuck up behind her and, holding a sword to her throat, called upon her and her party to surrender. They did so, we took their loot, and sent them on their way. The thief had an intriguing piece of parchment: it claimed that there was a Tome named the Compendium Maleficarum containing potent lore - including a code key allowing one person into the inner temple WITHOUT a relic! We determined to find this book, and Vandis stated his desire to use the code word, since the thought of wearing a relic of Vecna nauseated him.

We found a heavily damaged library with a deranged Iuzian Cleric in it. The Tome was not there, but a Find the Path led us to the NEXT library which contained a large book on a pedestal, emanating Evil in dark, cloudy vapors. Quivering with excited arousal, Veracity lovingly takes custody of the Compendium Maleficarum. Nobody else would go near it...

Before retiring back to Mansfield to study this tome, we explore the rest of this wing of the Adytum. We found a list of all the reliquaries in the Adytum and which Relics they contain. Elvira casts a Lightning Bolt at a Carrion Shambler and we all watch with awe as it gains 10 feet in height and another 10 HD. We defeat the enhanced undead creature and return to Mansfield.

Veracity spends an intense week studying the Tome and learns the code phrase, but does not share it. An unfortunate side effect of this studying was that one of her toes withered and fell off - and could not be restored via the normal priestly spells. Veracity is disconcerted - and somewhat hobbled.

We perform a Commune spell to discover what we can about Veracity's condition and about the Relics of Vecna we'd be seeking out and learned various useful data. Veracity's condition was an inevitable side effect of studying the Tome and is not curable save via Divine Intervention! Prayer and meditation would reveal the method of effecting that. Regarding the relics, there is no specific spiritual hazard to incorporating one, they will graft on automatically, there is no problem with one person having more than one of them, and if you remove one, you can regenerate back your original body part but...not all of them are genuine.

523 11 Oct 01 2993.1.3.2.1 Die, Vecna, Die! - The Adytum: collecting relics
Tumelo, Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Elvira Muncid, Vandis
1 Stone Golem
The party returns to the Adytum and explores a large part of the near side of temple. Eight minor relics of Vecna are found, each in its own dangerously trapped reliquary. Igor did all the heavy lifting involved in retrieving these items: he uses his Whistle of Opening to open all the locks, and flew into each lightning trapped room to retrieve each relic. His reward is to get First Dibs on which relic he himself will incorporate.

We clean out a few more labs of their weird Necrotic items, and retire to the nearby safe-haven parallel to install the Relics. We had not found the Head, Heart, or Skin of Vecna, but deemed those to likely be fakes - or at least, highly hazardous to install. Veracity, with her high skill level in Anatomy and Healing is the surgeon.

To his distress, Vandis learns for the first time that Veracity is NOT going to tell him the code phrase to pass through the Atrium without a Relic. Veracity explains that she herself will be using this code phrase, as she is Saving Herself for wearing one of the Major Relics to be found in the inner temple. After a fit of stubborness, Vandis gets over it and agrees to incorporate a minor relic - and to be the first subject, in fact.

Vandis is given the First Digit of Vecna - a thick, blackened thumb.

Igor accepts the Second Digit of Vecna - the blackened index finger.

Kress accepts the Third Digit of Vecna - the blackened middle finger with a knifelike nail.

Balophan accepts the Molar of Vecna.

Tumulo accepts the Foot of Vecna - a blackened left foot with protruding bones. He now walks with a slight hitch.

Elvira accepts the Right Eye of Vecna - a mummified eye ball, wrinkled and leathery, resembling an albino prune.

Hazen accepts both the Scalp of Vecna and the (misnamed) Incisors of Vecna - which are actually canine Fangs.

All seem reasonably happy, save for the aesthetics of the situation, as each minor relic grants its wearer certain powers, some of which are pretty useful!

524 25 Oct 01 2993.1.3.3.5 Die, Vecna, Die! - The Adytum: through the Atrium
Tumelo, Kress, Igor (T13+), Veracity, Hazen, Elvira Muncid, Vandis
1 Cleric (Ugwaeryl), 5 True Ghouls, 1 Iron Golem (Iron Hand)
We return to the Adytum and pass through the Atrium, the relic bearers simply walking through the door, and Veracity saying the pass-phrase: "May Vecna reign over all: life, death, and everything in between will call him master!"

Inside, we find the signs of a horrific battle, replete with hideously melted corpses. It was clear that Iuz had been here. Off to one side, we find a shattered door, a melted Eye-shaped golem, and a shattered, empty reliquary. We conclude that Iuz had seized the eye. Search revealed Iuz's rotting eye itself on the floor. Veracity claims it and treats it with Oil of Timelessness to prevent furthur decay.

To the other side we found an intact door - and a large Iron Hand, perched on its fingers, in front. We treated it like an Iron Golem - and easily defeated it, just as we had defeated many another such construction. Beyond the door was a reliquary guarded with fiendish traps and locks. By-passing them all, we retrieve the Hand of Vecna. Veracity installs this in place of her own severed left hand - which she treats with Oil of Timelessness: the Hand of Veracity.

Finally, passing through the Center Door, we encounter Ugwearyl herself. She is incensed at seeing us bearing the Holy Relics of Vecna and demands that we cut them off immediately. When we refuse, she casts a Holy Word, banishing all Good characters back to their home planes. To her surprise, only Vandis and Balophan disappear. And that is the last we ever saw of Balophan: who knows where HIS home plane was?

Veracity holds up the hand of Vecna, and, not knowing what to expect, said: "Feel the Power of my Hand." Time Stopped for all save Veracity herself - and Kress, who was entangled by Igor's Rope of Entanglement, out of the area of effect. Seizing the moment, Veracity ran up to the priestess, laid the Hand on her cheek, and said: "Now FEEL the Power of my Hand!" The priestess instantly dies. Looking around, Veracity realizes that nobody except Kress had seen what had just happened. Winking at Kress, she runs back to her place and stands there with her hand held up. When the Time Stop ended, to the astonishment of all, the priestess slumps, dead. All the True Ghouls in attendance on the priestess were entangled and Veracity experiments with the hand in various ways upon them, learning many interesting powers. We loot the priestess and her altar. Veracity Animates the priestess as a zombie, and we retire back to the safe-haven parallel to wait for Vandis.

While there, the party has a little contention over the Last Digit (pinkie) of Vecna, which we had cut from Ugwearyl's hand. Both Elvira and Igor want it. It is agreed that Igor will take it, but if he deems it more suitable to Elvira, he will relinquish it. Igor installed the Finger, and then immediately cut it off, and presented it to Elvira. Igor now lacks the little finger of his right hand.

Vandis does return the next day, having Plane Shifted back to Mansfield, and hired a mage to Teleport him to Tovag Baragu. He seems pained by Veracity's slave and destroys it. We divvy up the loot, unidentified, and return to the Adytum.

525 29 Nov 01 2993.2.1.2.1 Die, Vecna, Die! - The Adytum: the Apse
Tumelo, Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Elvira Muncid, Vandis
3 Fighters, 3 Half-Ogre Kadars, 16 Ogres, 1 Ogre Mage
Passing through the inner door of the Ugwearyl's temple, we see a chasm with six Ogres chained on the opposite side, shooting arrows at us. While Hazen, Kress, and Veracity pull out their bows, Tumulo Jumps across and Igor and Vandis Fly - only to start falling like stones as they cross the center, having succumbed to a Dispel Magic Glyph on the ceiling! Veracity casts Feather Fall on Vandis and Igor catches onto Vandis's legs. They swing Igor to the Far Side where he starts to Climb the Wall, while Veracity Levitates Vandis up on the near side.

Tumulo chops his way through the Ogres as Hazen, Kress, and Veracity pepper them with arrows, and they fall. Igor reaches the top just as the last Ogre falls, and Veracity D-Doors across the trapped chasm, carrying the rest of the party in Vandis's Portable Hole. Looking into the door, we see a peculiar Blade Barrier of whirling Skulls blocking our path.

Hazen uses his Rod of Earth and Stone to cast Pass Wall and we enter and defeat a large party of Ogres, Half-Ogres, and an Ogre Mage, with a few powerful human Fighters aiding them. We search the bodies and room and find various peculiar magical items. The one exit, however, is a forboding portal with tendrils of dark mist seeping through the cracks.

526 31 Jan 02 2993.2.1.2.4 Die, Vecna, Die! - Ravenloft: Citadel Cavitius

Passing through the portal, we find ourself in a misty void. Setting off, we make some sort of progress, but towards what? We are challenged by one Minor Death each. After defeating them, we pass through a gate and arrive at the end of an alley in a strange, bone-white city.

As we head towards the entrance of the alley, we are accosted by Iuzian Ogres, led by a half-ogre. We defeat them handily and question the one we had not slain. He tells us that we are in the Citadel Cavitius on the Demiplane of Dread and that Iuz is currently attacking the palace of Vecna. He says that anyone bearing a special "hand" or "eye" and wielding a special sword could actually kill Vecna. He says that Iuz is planning on "eating" Vecna. We let him go free.

We pass through the city towards the palace and see various strange things. A young woman, Valuriss of Darkon, runs up to us and raves at us. She says that she has seen visions of us defeating Vecna, confronting Vecna and Iuz in the throne room. She says that we need the Sword of Kas from the library. Since she seems to know way too much about us, we are inclined to take her seriously, and defend her when the city guard comes up to seize and execute her. As Valuriss runs off, Veracity Suggests that the Captain just call off the chase and let her and us go, and he does so.

After a couple more encounters, we are blasted by a Fireball, as a much more potent band of Iuzians attacks us. The cleric Withers one of Kress's arms. We kill all of their orcs and one of the big Fighters, but when Veracity Dominates the Orc Commander and sets him on the Fighter/Mage, the other big Fighter picks him up and runs away, accompanied by the Cleric, and the Fighter/Mage. We are pulled into the adjacent house of the healer Rull, who lets us rest and heal up, telling us that "Iuz fears only you." That night, Valuriss appears again and tells us that Iuz is already in the palace heading towards the throne room and will consume Vecna unless we stop him.

We relearn our spells and Vandis Regenerates Kress's arm. We head to the palace, first thing in the morning.

1 Cleric (Iuzian), 1 Fighter (Lanner Kvist), 1 Fighter/Mage (Geral Kher), 1 God (Iuz), 1 God (Vecna), 1 Flesh Golem (The Eye), 1 Flesh Golem (The Hand), 32 Ogres, 1 Orc Thief (Karhk)
We reach and enter the palace without incident. Entering by the front gates, we are not challenged, and we proceed up the huge winding stairs directly to the fourth floor. Passing through a locked door, we ascend to the fifth floor, and make our way to the base of a tower with a winding circular staircase within it. The very stair itself is carved into horrifying tortured sculpture. We explore various levels as we ascend. At least, those with the beefiest amount of Hit Points do such exploration, as the doors out of the staircase seem to be trapped with a Power Word: Kill.

We encounter a room full of Death Knights and other Big undead - who offer us the opportunity to go away and not bother them. We don't argue. We open another door and find a completely bizarre creature: a Flesh Golem made entirely of Eyes. He, too, says that we should withdraw, or else. Again, we gratefully accept. The party then defeated some ogres that were about to kill a Vecnan Priestess. She thanks us, bids us to loot the ogres and falls asleep.

When we open the next door, we find another completely bizarre creature: a Flesh Golem made entirely of Hands. This one appears to be friendly: he says that we have a common goal. After helping him defeat yet more ogres, he says that since we are here to kill the "other trespassers", he will lead us to the library where we can arm ourselves and thence to the confrontation in Vecna's Throne Room. He leads us out, using the required password: "Vecna is eternal." to bypass the trapped portals.

When we arrive at the library door, we find the Iuzian thugs who had attacked us out in the town. They surrender and we let them go. The Hand leads us into the library, points out the Sword of Kas, which Veracity picks up - and bonds with. He points out various other nice weapons for each of the other party members, and tells us what they are - but also comments that some of them MIGHT have curses, but he doesn't know what they would be. He says that the Eye would know and that he will take us to the Eye after we defeat Iuz.

He leads us up to Vecna's Throne Room where we find the entire room awash in a swirling vortex of colors as Iuz and Vecna are embroiled in magical combat. Iuz seems to be wielding the Sword of Kas, and his left Eye is a red-glowing gem. Bodies of ogres, humans, and skeletons litter the room while quite a few ogres and a handful of humans watch the Demigods battle. As we enter, one of the humans turns to us and hisses: "Stay out of this!"

After quick consultation, we determine that since we are there to stop Iuz, we may as well approach - and cut down any who resist. Sure enough, as we try to advance, more than 20 ogres step in to impede us. Hazen surprised us all by turning into a Vampire and life-draining an ogre. After going gaseous, he reappears behind the human cleric and backstabs him for an amazing amount of damage. The cleric falls to the floor in a pile of fragmented flesh.

After we cut down all the ogres, Veracity approaches the throne and stands watching. When Iuz broke through the last magical barrier keeping him from Vecna, he triumphantly raises the seeming Sword of Kas and brings it down upon Vecna's chest, where it shatters. Iuz gapes, dumbfounded, as Vecna stands: "Iuz, you always were feeble-minded and weak: you inherited your father's brains and scope of vision, and it shows." Vecna touches Iuz, who bursts into flame, as his essence starts flowing into Vecna's empty eye socket.

Rather than Iuz "eating" Vecna, Vecna was "eating" Iuz!

One of Iuz's few remaining henchmen called out "Stop him! Don't let Vecna get even more powerful!" Deeming this to be a reasonable way to look at the situation, Veracity stepped forward, and, wielding the true Sword of Kas in the Hand of Vecna, struck Vecna for maximum damage of 22 HP, twice.

Vecna staggers back, muttering, and, clutching the gash in his chest, directs his full attention upon her. Uttering a potent Curse, the floor beneath Veracity opens up, and she falls into a bottomless pit.

While the remaining party looks on, horror struck, Vecna said: "I have won! I shall, with the help of the Serpent, remake the Universe, as I choose. You have lost; there is nothing you can do. Goodbye: you shall not see me again."

With a wave of his hand, all fall into a bottomless pit (without the fancy weapons they had taken from Vecna's library), following Veracity, and sharing her Doom.

528 11 Apr 02 2993.2.1.3.6 Die, Vecna, Die! - Sigil
Tumelo (DEAD), Kress (F9+), Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Elvira Muncid, Vandis
5 Bariaurs, 1 Cleric, 5 Dabuses, 1 Fighter, 1 God (Lady of Pain), 6 Skeletal Warriors, 2 Blue Slaadi, 1 Death Slaad, 4 Green Slaadi, 1 Grey Slaad
We fell for an eternity. Eventually, we were explosively expelled into an ornately ornamented city. A 200 foot wide swathe of destruction led away to a large pillar of smoke and fire. Rather than immediately investigate, we decided to question some of the local citizens and find an Inn in which to rest up a bit.

We learned that the City is named Sigil, the City of Doors. Or simply, "The Cage", to the locals. The city is on on inside of a huge ring surrounding...what? No "Powers" are allowed here because the Lady of Pain doesn't allow it. But, somehow, 8 days ago, a God in the form of a 30 foot tall "moldy old lich" named Vecna managed to land here like a meteor. He walked through the city destroying all he passed until he entered the Armory, where the Doomguard used to "set up kip". Now, all the "bloods", "bashers", "cutters", and other "high ups" are camped out there too, as is the Lady herself. Since Vecna's arrival, essentially all the Portals into and out of the city have been locked down.

Kress observed that Vecna was not 30 feet tall the last time we saw him. We spent the night at the Inn discussing the situation and eventually sleeping.

The next morning, we relearn spells and Vandis Regenerated Igor's finger. We made our way to the Armory where we saw a motley army surrounding it. They were leaving a wide zone around it, however. That zone appears to be littered with thousands of bodies. Here and there, small intensely black spheres dart. Whatever they touch is completely and cleanly destroyed. These we recognize to be Spheres of Annihilation.

The crowd appears to be leaving a perimeter around another scene as well: the Lady of Pain and five of her Dabuses are there, all floating several feet off the ground.

As we consider this scene, a Green Slaad comes out of the Armory and addresses the crowd. "Vecna says: join me now, or you will be destroyed when I remake the universe to my whims, from the first to the last dimension." Some in the crowd accept this proposal and enter the Armory.

We approach the Lady. Veracity and Vandis stepped boldly into her circle, followed by the rest. She swiveled and regarded us. As we wonder what's up, glowing columns of glyphs started to stream from the Dabuses: the Lady's communication to us in the form of rebuses. A local "greybeard" steps forward and offers to translate. "You who have incorporated parts of this God are the first, last, and only hope of removing him. His death ward will not stop you, nor will his divine energies burn you. If you wish to save the warp and weft of the multiverse as you know it, make haste."

As we make towards the Armory, a group of Vrocks and Glabezru challenges us, demanding that we hand over the Relics. With a glance from the Lady, they all vanish: she has chosen her Champions and will brook no interference with them. We do, however, allow Autochon, a beefy fighter in grey jangling Full Plate Mail to join us. Kress and Igor ring him with their hands as we enter the death field and we all survive the trip across. The Spheres of Annihilation do not target us. We boldly enter the front - and only - entrance.

Inside we defeat six skeletal warriors and find a group of Vecnan pilgrims, new converts, hanging out in front of a door. We were going to pass them by when Kress, spying the fancy Battle Axe in the hands of the big fighter, says "that's a nice axe!" and attacks him! Many of us stand there in astonishment, but, eventually, the more bloodthirsty members of the party join him and the party of Vecnans is quickly destroyed. Kress claims the Axe.

Passing through the door, a bariaur pilgrim ran up to us and said "Come! Look at this!" Kress and Igor followed and stepped right into an ambush of Blue and Green Slaadi who engaged us in melee while simultaneously casting Fear and Hold spells at us. Vandis ran away in Fear. While he was gone, another group of Slaadi come out and attacked us: another Green, a Gray, and a fearsome Death Slaad.

These also fiercely attacked while casting spells. Tumulo fell dead in the first round of battle with the new foes. The Death Slaad attacked Elvira at once and almost killed her outright. Veracity interposed for her, fearlessly facing the Death Slaad in melee, while Elvira took the Blue Slaad Veracity had been in the process of slaying. Elvira had been so grievously injured by her battle with the Death Slaad that she took off her Animate Great Coat and sent it in to interpose for her against the Blue Slaad. Elvira and the Coat finished off the Slaad - but then the Coat, apparently angry at having been sent in to almost die, turned and attacked her, showing its true colors: a Turncoat!

Meanwhile, although inflicting massive damage on the Death Slaad, Veracity was repeatedly blasted by its spells: a Flame Strike and a Phantasmal Killer. The Gray Slaad had Blinded Igor and was also feeding him Lightning Bolts and Flame Strikes. Several others also took Flame Strikes.

When Vandis returned, it was Kress's turn to run away. Vandis Resurrected Tumulo, who ran away, just as Kress returned. Vandis then Healed Igor just before the Death Slaad went out with a bang: as he was about to fall over dead, he cast a Ground Zero Fireball, blasting us all. Elvira would have been ashes, save for her Magic Resistance, but her coat was now cinders.

The party, grievously injured and all but out of healing magic, decided to retreat and see what healing we could obtain in Sigil.

529 25 Apr 02 2993.2.1.3.6 Die, Vecna, Die! - The Armory
Tumelo, Kress, Igor, Veracity, Hazen, Elvira Muncid, Vandis
1 Bariaur, 1 Cambion (Ely Cromlich), 4 Githzerais, 1 God (Vecna), 1 Golem (Eye Servitor), 1 Golem (Hand Servitor), 2 Liches, 1 Skeletal Warrior, 1 Green Slaad, 4 Spectres, 2 Tieflings
We retreated to the entrance to the Armory, carrying the unconscious Autochon. When we appeared at the door, the Lady looked in our direction, frowned, and waved her hand. Immediately, we found that we had all been Healed, granted the effects of a Hero's Feast, and been granted a full Ability Restoration, as well as having all our Spells refreshed. Clearly, the Lady did not want us wasting time seeking healing! We took the hint and immediately turned back and re-entered the Armory.

We proceeded back through the scene of carnage where the Slaadi had attacked us and explored all the side rooms, finding nothing. Down a wide passage, we faced large double doors. Igor and Kress opened them while the others stayed back - far back, in some cases. Thus, only those two were affected by the Delayed Blast Fireball that had entrapped the door.

Passing through, we found ourselves in a large circular hallway. At the first door we attempted to open, a Spectre attacked us stealthily from each direction, draining Autochon of two life energy levels before being defeated. In the room, we found a vast store of weapons. Finding nothing of interest after a turn of searching, we decided to leave the room, for now.

Opening other doors, we found broken weapons, and siege engines and such - and a large room with a shattered Vault door guarding it. The room was empty, but Vandis's True Seeing revealed that there were two secret doors. Each was trapped with a deadly poison needle and was guarded by a Spectre. We dealt with all such hazards without harm and claimed the treasures secreted within: from the first, a Blue Light Crossbow, cold to the touch, and from the other, a Spear with shaft carved with flames and the head in the form of a flame. Each seemed likely to be highly magical, and they were packed away in the Portable Hole.

Smashed double doors leading inward from the circular hallway led us to a strange sight: the walls were lined with workbenches, but from a wide pit in the center of the room, a strange column of spectral flame rose. A circular stairway descended perilously along the walls of the pit.

We all opted to fly down over this stairway to the bottom, which the final vestiges of Vandis's True Seeing revealed to be 100 feet below. As we descended this Stairway of Wonder, we were all affected in beneficial or baneful ways. Veracity and Elvira each were enabled to cast an additional spell per level, an especially potent effect for Elvira, given her dual Magical and Clerical powers. Veracity also had her strength boosted to level of a powerful Giant. Tumulo, on the other hand, became even more clumsy. Igor and Vandis resisted some sort of death effect and merely took some damage. The others in the party presumably had similar effects cast upon them, but if so, they were more subtle, as nothing was evident.

At the bottom, we found a wide hallway. The walls were carved with many scenes depicting the high (or low) points of Vecna's career. Five tieflings stood there admiring these and greeted us as fellow pilgrims. We all stood and studied the artwork before deciding to move on. Veracity was aching to destroy them and hopefully boost both her and Igor's vitality in the process, but Vandis marched us sternly past.

After turning left at the end of the hallway, we came up to a small room resembling the reliquaries we had looted long ago in the Adytum. In this one was a Golden Eye. Hazen looked at this covetously, but the rest of us decided that since we didn't wish to try inserting any such object, we should move on.

We passed through a door into an Art Gallery. The rugs were of sumptuous Selkie Fur, there were tapestries painted on leather, and sculptures carved of unicorn horn. In fact, all of the art appeared to have been created from the body parts of innocent creatures. Hazen rhapsodized over the creativity involved, while Vandis gagged and again, forced us to move on.

The next room had a Chalice containing a glowing pearly white liquid smelling of caramel. On the floor, on large pillows, various people were lying comatose. Each had a golden Hand and Eye. We debated whether we should attempt to sample some of this liquid. We agreed that an Augury would surely be appropriate before attempting that, but we felt it was unlikely to be the best use for our single available Augury spell. We moved on.

The next room had a pit in the floor emitting an odorous smoke. On benches along the walls, drooling people sat, having the appearance of being drugged. Most of the party immediately crossed the room and opened the door, while Veracity hung back, claiming she had some "business" in the preceding room. Hazen and Elvira stayed with her while Vandis resolutely covered his eyes and marched on through.

Through the far door, two Liches accompanied by a Skeletal Warrior demanded that the party assert Vecna's dominance. The party dallied irresolutely before some of them finally gave a weak response, at which point the Liches, who were clearly not convinced, attacked. The Skeletal Warrior held off our fighters while the Liches cast Mirror Images and started to Fly. Igor flew over and attacked one, while the other fighters fought through the Warrior and then stood in dismay, looking up at the flying Lich, who pointed at Kress and hit him with a Finger of Death, which Kress, fortunately, shrugged off.

Vandis, thinking quickly, pulled out the Flail we had taken from the mad cleric in the library in the Adytum and used its two Flame Strikes to take out the Mirror Images of first one and then the other Lich.

Meanwhile, in the Chalice room, Veracity had invigorated herself by draining 39 Hit Points from two of the comatose people using Vampiric Touches. She and Elvira then joined the rest of the party. As Vandis dispelled the Fly spell on one of the Liches, and Veracity wore down his Stone Skin with a magic Missile, he cast a Chain Lightning at us. He was surprised when Tumulo's ring of Spell Turning reflected some of it back to him and his fellow Lich - and onto Igor.

Igor, meanwhile, had been wearing down the other Lich's Stone Skin, and shrugging off fearsome spells such as Prismatic Spray, Lightning, and a Fireball which blasted all of us - but did not affect him inside his Globe of Invulnerability.

After the no-longer-flying Lich was quickly polished off by the earthbound fighters and Veracity's second Magic Missile spell, his Stone Skin having dropped, Vandis and Veracity flew up and joined Igor, who had just dropped the other Lich's Stone Skin. He, too, fell in a single round of attacks by our combined swords.

While Vandis and Elvira cured up the various injured party members, Hazen and Veracity went back to take care of some business in earlier-visited rooms: they collected all the portable unicorn-horn sculptures from the Art Gallery, and they harvested a few Golden Hands from the comatose Vecnans lying in the Chalice room.

When they returned, the refreshed party proceeded through the double doors in the center of the hall. The room had a pair of singing marble statues: one in the form of The Hand, and one in the form of The Eye. Although they were continually singing hymns to Vecna, no harm seemed to befall us by hearing them.

Veracity broke through the locked double doors with the strength of a Storm Giant. We found that the next room was a lush, but empty, chapel to Vecna. On the Altar were many scrolls, all of which Veracity loaded into her pack.

From this room led a huge door of Light, 10 feet wide and 30 feet tall. We performed an Augury before attempting this door and were told, in essence, that "This is it!" So, we prepared our battle plan and cast many spells to beef ourselves up, including Defensive Harmony, Prayer, Recitation, and Haste.

Upon touching the door, it dissolved, and we saw a huge chapel beyond with a large man preaching to a motley collection of pilgrims: Githzerai, Tieflings, a Bariaur and a Slaad. To each side stood seeming Golems in the form of The Hand and The Eye.

As we entered, the crystal backdrop to the central pulpit became transparent and a loud shriek burst forth as the 30 foot tall Vecna called out: "Get them! Tear my holy relics from their profane bodies!" The crystal barrier shattered and all the fighting-class pilgrims rushed up to engage us, as did the Hand Golem. Our Fighters rushed to destroy them, and Veracity started to conjure.

To the side, Autochon knelt and said: "Remove this accursed ringing from my ears and I shall serve you, Vecna!" He then stood and attacked Tumulo from behind.

We beat off the first wave of Vecnans, killing many of them. The Cambion who had been preaching to us cast a Mirror Image upon himself, Veracity Lowered Resistance on Vecna himself - and Vecna attempted powerful spells upon Veracity and Kress, which simply washed over us as if we were immune. The Lady had been right - Vecna's Divine Energies could not burn us!

We fought off more minions and Veracity again Lowered Resistance upon Vecna. The treacherous Autochon did substantial damage upon Tumulo before finally falling, when the Vampiric Hazen backstabbed him into oblivion. Powerful Igor slew the Eye Golem.

Her spells done, Veracity flew up to Vecna and attacked him in melee using the Sword of Kas on Maximum Offense. She hit him twice for substantial damage and he removed two layers of Stone Skin from her - and simultaneously resurrected two of his fallen minions!

Kress began to find himself Over his Head as both the Cambion (an 18th level fighter!) and The Hand attacked him for a lot of damage. Hazen attacked the Cambion from behind and drained 2 Life Energy Levels from him, Veracity hit Vecna 4 times for massive damage, and in return, lost two more layers of Stone Skin, with Vecna additionally hasting some of his own minions. Kress fell!

In the next round of battle, Hazen drained two more levels from the Cambion as Tumulo stepped in to battle him while Vandis Healed Kress with a scroll. Veracity hit Vecna 3 more times, bobbling once, and lost two more layers of Stone Skin, as Vecna also Resurrected The Eye golem. Poor Tumulo fell dead, with massive blows from the Cambion as well as a potent Critical Strike from one of the Tieflings.

Then, when Elvira had finally defeated HER Tiefling, she attempted a Flame Strike on Vecna - the first person other than Veracity to actually attempt to afflict the god himself. Unfortunately, he Resisted it completely. He did NOT resist Veracity's 4 mighty slashes, however. He removed Veracity's last layer of Stone Skin and hit her, once, only to fall. He shrieked, "You will pay, you puny..." as he got sucked into a strange portal which opened behind him and vanished.

Veracity floated there, gaping in astonishment. Her party quickly polished off the remaining Vecnans and, when we noticed that the whole lower level of the Armory seemed to be collapsing, we quickly picked up the Cambion's, Eye's, and Autochons's swords and booked it out of there.

When we reached the Stairway of Wonder, Veracity scooped up Elvira, and with the gaseous Hazen having seeped into her backpack, she Dimension Doored straight to the top. Everybody else was flown up and affected in various ways by the staircase.

The lower level of the Armory collapsed, as the Lady removed it and all other modifications Vecna had made, but we had escaped. As we left the Armory, the Lady spied us and Resurrected Tumulo. We returned to our Inn to unwind.

After we'd been there a while, a contingent of Dabuses came and gave us three rewards from the Lady. She assured us that she had nullified Vecna's vengeance: that he would not seek to harm us in the future, unless we went out of our way to annoy him. She gave us a Key to City of Doors, which would allow us to make 3 permanent Portals between locations of our choice in Sigil and on a remote Plane. And, she gave us the deed to a fine dwelling in the Lady's Ward, on the corner of Palace Street and Lord's Row, near the border with the bustling Market District. Simply being noticed by the Lady, much less rewarded, was an unheard of honor.

We withdrew to our new dwelling and, after several weeks, returned to Mansfield. The Avatar of Shina-Tsu-Hiko who had sent us on this quest initially came to us and offered each of us a Full Wish, guaranteed to work as we intended.
