Practical Heroes

As the group return from a long stint of downtime, they meet their magic teachers - including the great Simshador the Wise - and begin their journeys of new magical instruction, all the while training to fight, and learning how a focus may be created to contain the power of the Rite of Sealing and Binding without potentially consuming a life. With this time of intense training drawing to a close,...

As our heroes finish their conversations with Zola, Semarel stays behind to discuss ruminations and pontifications with which he's been struggling. Rejoining the others at Mura's, they all eagerly await their angelic seal bread to finish baking (angelic seals - not to be confused with angelic seals), Spanner sets to work... upgrading... Mura's house in a variety of ways, whilst Thorgol and Semarel...

With research and training coming to an end, Spanner and Mura find a new thread to follow - baking angelic seal bread! Although, it's not QUITE the angelic seal you may be thinking of... In the meantime, Thorgol (Tomanok) watches Semarel fight the Weaponsmaster in a fight that ended up way more climactic than anticipated.

Disturbed by the events from the night before, Mura turns to first Zola, then Spanner for answers and advice.

With introductions finished and Zola sending the party off to sleep, our new heroes split, Semarel and Spanner undergo their nightly rituals of prayer and organisation, and Mura engages in her nightly ritual of reading, before bearing witness to some interesting Thorgol developments while he sleeps, and meets an old friend of ours... Please remember to support us by sharing, or even joining our Pa...

As introductions get underway, Zola introduces the newcomers properly to the "city" of Behmenemhat - an underground civilisation lost to history, steeped in esoteric knowledge. Does this hold the secrets needed to defeat the Seven Darkest? Are their goals aligned with the Seven Divine? Why have they stayed hidden all these years?

As Meri recovers from Lindsey losing power, our heroes square off against 2 Ethan duplicates, an old friend returns to bring assistance, and Thorgol and Mura are left alone... What strange secrets does the Ancestor Oasis hold? What's the significance of the Giant skeleton and how does it connect to the verse repeated so often?

Betrayal abound as Sarmiel unveils his true nature and purpose for joining the party on their search for the Ancestor Oasis! Can the party work together with what appears to be Thorgol commandeering Yuri's body? Who is Mura and can she help? What strange secrets does the sand dune Meri climbed hold?

With a solid lead on Thorgol, and a slumbering T-Rex about to be awakened by a small pack of Compsognathuses (Compsognathi?), Ethan, Meri and Zerra are caught between a minotaur and a t-rex place. Will they make it to Kuthwa? Will they make it further, to Kutaphet? Who knows? Mura certainly doesn't! (She's new, and she's real fun!) Please remember to support us by sharing, or even joining our Patr...

Still reeling from the encounter with the Mirage Hydra, Meri and Ethan await the results of Meri's attempt to return Yuri's soul to his body. Unfortunately, Yuri's isn't the only soul which inhabits said body...

The situation in the valley of diamonds changes dramatically as Ethan is brutally taken out by the Mirage Hydra slowly emerging from the sands of the valley. As his warning tattoo burns, Yuri turns his sole focus on the immense creature, hoping to draw the attention away from Ethan - and allow Meri to bring the heals. With the party in dire straits, will they successfully retrieve any diamonds and...

With Zerrabelo nursing his injured ribs after his attempts to enter the valley in the hopes of gathering diamonds, Ethan, Meri & Yuri decide to attempt to brave the snake-infested valley to take matters into their own hands. Naturally, it goes fairly wrong, and Giant Snakes begin to emerge from various pits and holes in the walls and floor of the valley - not posing too much of an issue... Tha...

As Zerra begins to guide the party across The Greying Sands, they face unsteady terrain, the intense heat they feared and, more surprisingly, a repeatedly disappearing/reappearing valley constantly covered/uncovered by the sands and the winds. A valley filled with diamonds and, unfortunately also big old sneks! Fear not, however! Our fearless guide stands ready to rappel the valley to retrieve the...

Join us for an evening's performance at the Desert Drink, featuring ancient war songs of Thor-gol the Foul! And when the evening's work is done, why not take a leisurely stroll through the streets of Edgeport to Zera's Things, in search of the mysterious, ever-cool owner and proprietor? If you're lucky, he may just guide you in your journey across the Greying Sands of Doblis... Please remember to...

With hawks purchased and directions decided, the only thing left to do is to seek refuge from the relentless sun in the Desert Drink. Naturally, drinks are had, conversation is started about Yuri performing and, over many more drinks, more of our strange band of adventurers' backstories begin to emerge as Yuri discusses his family, and Meri finally reveals some more about hers... (AND THAT ENDING...

Docked in Doblis, deciding directions, the gang hop off the Patchwork Pelican to explore the city of Edgeport and learn more about the continent and its deserts. After a brief canal crossing, marketplaces are reached, interesting merchants are spoken to, and course is set for the nearest tavern!

As our heroes overpower the Gnolls and turn to face the Bulette, Ethan showcases some of his new powers courtesy of Daraphiel, God of Time - allowing Righteousness to subject the poor little land shark to her Righteous Fury and an absolute rain of slashes from Fuiro/Honour. With the threat defeated, our heroes turn to feasting and get to planning the next steps of their journey, including whether...

As the cry of "Gnolls!" rings out, the party leap into action to defend Meri atop the box in the hopes that she can finish the ritual to release Righteousness. Meanwhile, Gunnark is off training somewhere the Gods only know where, running his montage with Honour, Will he make it to the fields of Ponnola in time to help his party? Why does Ethan end up in a hedge? Why is Yuri incapable of staying c...

With another Celestial Lockbox opened, and a new member of the Seven Darkest released, will Gunnark be able to finish off Envy? Will Envy stay dead? Can an Immortal truly be killed by a mere mortal? What happens when more complications are thrown into the mix? Why do I always ask so many questions? With a new piece in play, all that remains is to sample the power of Lust, to see why Pride & En...

The fight to save Kendra and prevent two of the Seven Darkest from releasing a third continues, as the gem weakening Kendra is shattered, Meri is still unconscious, and Gunnark begins to hatch schemes - all while Yuri pauses to have a lil browse through Gunns' backpack in search of the circlet Kuijo left for him. A new power is unleashed, a feat of immense strength is displayed, Envy gets mutilate...
