Morgan Hill's DnD Archive

Spurred to find the power to defeat the evil beneath the earth at the strip mine, our heroes seek the hidden treasure within the floating island nearby. Ubbe explored its surface and found a massive skull, which he peered inside--only to be surprised by a crowd of patchwork golem scarecrows. It seemed this island concealed a great deal more artifice and magic than initially assumed. Let's see if o...

Our heroes have arrived at The Lost Veil, a once beautiful natural monument to nature's glory. However, it seems this vision of an untouched spring of bounty was one of the past. Now the Sun Empire has moved in, tooth and claw to strip mine out the many resources this place provides. Huatli the warrior poet was true to her word, that not all is as it seems--and whatever the party thinks of their p...

Continuing on foot from Arguel's fell temple, our heroes stumble upon a battle occurring between a shoreside fortress and a heavily armed river boat. The commanders? Kethis and Leovold of Fiora. Not having the baggage of having to play against Leovold before he was banned in commander, our heroes must pick a side, or pursue a hidden third option... Ubbe cashes in a raid ticket, Kambal becomes a dr...

The party has returned to the floating bazaar, only to find it a shell of its former self. Despite the final death of one-eyed willy, the undead hordes he conjured are still shambling about there. In order to rescue the remaining refugees, they'll need to stem the tide of thousands of undead, as well as a few djinn and demons corrupted by the evil animating force. Are they up to the task? And what...

Quite tragically, we have another missing episode. Luckily, the opening recap covers all the major beats nicely. The party defeated One-Eyed Willy and exorcised his spirit by also freeing the angry ghost of a merfolk girl, who kept willy in eternal twilight because she could not let go of her hatred of him and his deeds, nor see beyond it. Leaping from one crisis to another, the group learns that...

Our heroes are stopped on their jungle quest to exorcise one-eyed willy, the lich pirate, by the unfortunate intervention of greater pirate grandma Admiral Beckett Brass--who was hoping to plunder the very merfolk tribe the group now sought for help. Mistaken for pirates themselves, the friends of ravnica have to try and buddy up to Admiral Brass so as to subvert her plans and save the merfolk--an...

With Juzam the djinn defeated, the floating bazaar city is free of his evil influence! ...And his protection. One-Eyed Willy the pirate lich attacks the free-floating port town, converting its fleeing populace into more undead hordes. Our heroes must now deal with the consequences of this power vacuum, or flee themselves. Johnny sows a flag, Marty dis-Arms Willy, and Alpha hires a fisherman.

At the end of our last episode, our heroes arrived at a strange spiral shaped jungle island rife with mutated creatures from other worlds. They'd been collected here in some sort of menagerie. Come to find out, Vannifar had survived after a fashion; living on as a copy of her consciousness within the magical gem implant in Jerrick's brain. Having brought papaya, the spawn of the kaiju named pineap...

Hot off the heels of their battle with Juzam, the party once again encounters Huatli the warrior poet. A loyal general of the sun empire, she commands many dinosaurs and accompanying warriors. Huatli is investigating a floating ruin in the sky, one that the party knows to be populated by expat angels and worshipful monks of a dead god named Serra. The floating monastery has asked the friends of ra...

Tragically, two months of episodes were lost when our archive went down last year--but suffice to say, our heroes escaped Useless Island and have been roving the seas making a nuisance of themselves to every ravenous pirate, vampire conquistador and dinosaur-riding warrior on the ocean. Their latest misadventure brought them back into contact with Jerrick's missing kaiju. Due to time dilation, Pin...

Our heroes have found themselves in Ixalan, but only after getting caught in some kind of Astral net orchestrated by the master of this plane, a mysterious giant floating head made of stars and lightning between worlds. Stripped of all of their belongings, they have also each undergone drastic changes to their being due to the nature of this place. Time and space in this world are warped, and ther...

With Vannifar defeated, the party gets ready to venture forth into the unknown plane of Ixalan, where the artifact known as the Immortal Sun waits. The Sun is the key to curing their guild leaders still afflicted with Phyresis, an otherwise uncurable and catastrophic disease. Mizzix the the goblin wizard prepares her portal for ascension, and our heroes get ready to blast off. Jerrick gets brain s...

Sadly we lost last week's episode which marked the end of Szithis the druid's reign in the undercity. The former mentor of Zola (the gorgon girl he'd taken under his wing) resurfaced, under the influence of the zombifying mutagenic disease known as Phyresis. Szithis was reaping what he sowed, having let that mentor die against the phyrexian agent in the last arc, and dumping her body into contamin...

Part of this recording is missing :( but suffice to say our heroes have reached the final encounter of this dungeon; Frankie peanuts himself. After defeating a brainwashed Alpha Wilm last session, the exit elevator opened to reveal a familiar face: Kambak, the consul of allocation from Kaladesh. Using the stolen planar portal, Frankie has been stealing help from all over the multiverse. Including...

Frankie springs a Boss Rush on the party, rolling out some of the greatest hits against our heroes. Alpha switches sides, Vali meets a friend of his mom's, and Neheb goes down for the count.

Our heroes push further into Frankie's tower. Frankie puts the bonds of the party to the test in his most diabolical test yet. Louis nearly takes a tumble, Vali throws caution to the wind, Jerrick's darkest secret is revealed.

The party ventures deeper (higher?) into Frankie Peanuts' tower.  Hasim falls out of the ceiling and immediately solves a puzzle, Louis has to figure out a problem without magic, and Szithis reminds the party he is in fact blind.

Frankie Peanuts' conspiracy to undermine the Orzhov comes to head as he makes aggressive moves to eliminate the friends of ravnica. It's time to go on the offensive. The DM also begins his ill-fated courtship with VoiceMod, which adds a lot less to the experience than he thinks it does. Alpha has an unwanted visitor, Szithis teaches Zola a valuable lesson, and Louis becomes concerned the FireMind...

Our heroes have the fight of their lives against a lesser Eldrazi titan as it assaults Szithis' compound, but it doesn't end in a way any of them could have predicted. Certainly not in a way our DM could have guessed. Nahiri brings the boom, Alpha brings the saints marching in, Jerrick brings his own Kaiju to fight this one, and Szithis brings his dirtiest golgari tricks to bear in order to save h...

Downtime continues, with each hero spending time in their Neighborhood of choice. Szithis gets too close to an artifact source of eldrazi magic, and pays the price. Nahiri pays Ravnica a visit and makes waves in the monster hunting community. The group pays some mercenaries and gets their stronghold ready for an assault against it.

Our heroes enter a period of downtime after defeating the phyrexianized Hisst at the theatre of horrors. Szithis attempts to heal Zola- and attracts the attention of Jin-Gitaxias, Alpha checks in with Kaya- and learns the full extent of Teysa's illness, and Jerrick gets a Pineapple. :)

Our heroes enter a brief period of downtime after their last adventure outside the city walls. It was a real barn-burner. Butler asks some awkward questions, Brettville sees new places in a hurry, Anna once again searches for her missing sister--with tragic results, and Lord Stromkirk makes the scene.

Hot off the heels of their stronghold being attacked in the dead of night, the party is approached by the young priest Moritz Shtamm--who reminds them of their promise to help him rid Nephalia of a particular vampire in the wake of Avacyn's disappearance. With the archangel gone, all manner of fiends and undead will grow in power, and their spread must be kept in check. To that end, the young prie...

This is the earliest episode of our ravnican adventures I have recorded. Lots happened prior to this, including a harrowing journey into the undercity to fight a phyrexian agent which I wish I still had. Suffice to say, our heroes believed themselves victorious and have been duped into gathering many of their guild leaders in one place, where the phyrexian agent has sprung their trap; a bomb relea...

BEFORE WE BEGIN: You began your journey in media res. Leaving your various homesteads for your own reasons, you joined a caravan leaving the crags and peaks of Stensia that was bound for coastal Nephalia.  Your miserable rain soaked journey ground to a halt in the winding passes of Blackcleave Cliff. Ludwig Stettin, the party leader of the Skiltfolk caravan, noted a greater degree of runoff o...
