HAUS Rules RPGs

The froghemoth and the Gherkin slam into each other in the air. There is the shrieking of animated stone meeting frogflesh. Strange tentacles slap out from the froghemoth.

Although the party has just lost Zagru and ImGob, the battle with the frogfolk continues. Milden, Ophelia, and Urmas maneuver the Gherkin into a standing position. Arvel and Seithr continue to mop up the remaining frogfolk in the tall grasses along the Gherkin’s right hand side. The gigantic froghemoth leaps towards the Gherkin covering a 1/3rd of a mile in a single bound.

Milden, Urmas, and Ophelia continue to try to free the Gherkin from the forgfolks’ restraining ropes. Arrows rain down upon adventurers who are outside. Sho and Ragrued have fallen under the salvos. Seithr, Arvel, and Soo-Ree bring death to many frogfolk. Caleni’s wall of fire slays many more. Immortalia continues to ferry Seithr’s wolfhound from one part of the battle field to another. But someth...

Inside the control room, Milden, Urmas, and Ophelia struggle to right the Gherkin. Outside diminutive frogfolk are throwing thick ropes over the prone castle top.

Milden steers the Flying Gherkin up over the edge of the floating island. He skims across the grasslands on the southwest corner of the island at about 200 feet elevation. When he reaches the edge of the jungle, with its giant towering palm trees, he descends to tree top level–still about at about 100 feet. (These are giant palms!) Milden has the Gherkin circle the arm of the jungle that extends t...

Milden pilots the Flying Gherkin over the northwest corner of the floating island. Arvel and Soo-Ree keep their sharp eyes trained on the dock area that is near the waterfall that rolls off the side of the island.

Combat aboard the dryder’s ship continues. But between the Seithr, Stabbi, and Shu’s cannon fire, Arvel and Morr’s archery, Ragreud in giant size, and Immortalia’s great sword the remaining gnolls and goblins stand little chance.

Katlego in red dragon form and Caleni in pteranodon form fly towards the fleeing enemy ship. Milden pursues with the Flying Gherkin. Cannon fire from the dryder’s vessel strikes Caleni-pteranodon and he transforms back into a halfling; Caleni, Urmas, Soo-Ree plummet to the ocean 300 some feet below, striking it with the force of falling onto concrete. It’s not pretty....

Milden pilots the Flying Gherkin towards one of the Sea Watch’s Towers. These three hundred feet tall wooden platforms and towers form a barrier along the Quarter Grounds between the depths of the Mersea and the safety of the continental shelf. The Sea Watch warns of approaching beasts from the Mersea and keeps a watch upon the deep sea fishing fleets from Isk-Dan and Nordhaus.

After months of nearly nonstop adventure, our heroes have returned to Nordhaus. While Quinn, Urmas, and Tazio supervise the addition of a sub-basement onto the Flying Gherkin, the rest of the party spreads out across the city. Some stay out of trouble, others do not.

How does Fence get out of the pit flea trap? What is it with these teether balls from hell? What is Tharivol doing with a statue of Ra? Isn't Tharivol a follower of Loki? And Mark gets a last name and falls down some more steps.... What's not to like?

Claren, Crenshaw, Fence, Tharivol, Mouse Field Mouse, and Mark descend the muck covered stairs into a room with a sun column and reflective tiles on its walls. There are six exits....

The party descends the stairs into a room filled with rotting garbage and muck. The last step into the room is a mimic disguised as the stairs.... and the fun in the muck just goes from there!!!!

The remaining bandit captain, Claw flees past Mouse Field, Mouse. He is pursued by Fence, and then slain in combat with Claren, Crenshaw, and Fence. The party discovers....

The party continued their fight with the “bear bandits.” After pushing into the Sun Lord’s Crypt, our heroes come face to face with a half dozen bandits, a bear, and their leaders–the brothers “Bear” and “Claw.”

Our heroes traveled east from Ward into the mountains around Lake Skaladium. They crossed Lake Blanc in a dwarven paddlewheel steamer and found themselves on the eastern edge of the Isk-Dan in the fertile hill country known as “Between the Lakes.”

The party visits Siddharth Two Moons Animal Emporium. Sid has something awaiting for Tharivol.... While they avoid The Lost Wolf Tavern and Inn, because they do not want to see Yanze Mukherjee yet. They do return to the Lunar Academy, and their conversation with Dean Gea Haunting reveals connections about Claren's past..... and a new quest to avenge the wrongs done to Claren!!!

After returning to Ward, Fence, Crenshaw, Claren, Tharivol, and Mouse, Field Mouse make their way to the Lunar Academy for a meeting with Dean Gea Haunting. Mick parts ways with his companions at the entrance to the Academy–he’s off to wander the streets and canals of Ward, to sing, and to listen for rumors to share with Crenshaw. 

As Fence, Crenshaw, Mick, Claren, Tharivol, and Mouse, Field Mouse return to Ward on the Sojourner, they try to figure out what happened down in the Temple Pit on Mistcutter Isle. Crenshaw and Mouse, Field Mouse tear through the six volume Abridged History of Magic....

Battling across (1) a vestibule of the Elemental Plane of Water, (2) the outcrop of the Shadowfell, and (3) a strangely flat world with little sensory input, our heroes recognize that their opponent was an aboleth. The chaos of multidimensional combat rolls around Fence, Mouse, Field Mouse, Crenshaw, Mick, Claren, and Tharivol…. A mysterious wizard in purple robes, Saben perhaps? Appears and then...

Crenshaw, Tharivol, and Fence could see the shadow of a meazel strangling Mouse, Field Mouse with a garrote. The tiles on the floor beneath them began to break and flow apart from each other, as if something was rising beneath the floor of the pit.

A voice calls out from the darkness, “Seithr! Seithr, is that you?” Seithr recognizes Talith (the Blind)’s voice and returns the greeting. Talith leads Seithr and the ragtag band of escaped prisoners down a series of winding tunnels and into a large cavern that has been set for a feast.

This is a description of the episodeAfter healing the injured ImGob and Morr, the party enters Mr. Bonegrinder Miller the cyclop’s cottage. While Stabbi attempts to take the cautious approach and investigate the steps for traps, Seithr leads Ophelia and others into the miller’s house. What awaits our heroes? Treasure? An ambush? Traps? Something creepy and slimy with tentacles?

Having been guided away from the pursuing yuan-ti by the ancient and sinewy gnome, Sen-Noam Longbeard, the party arrives in a large cavern. A stream runs through the cavern, a miller’s cottage sits along the edge of the stream, and the sounds of a water wheel turning can be heard.

A quick reconnect with the OG and then on to the adventures of Seithr & the cannon fodder!!!!
