Rise of the Runelords

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light continue to explore the haunted halls of the Spolarium.  Confident that the strongest of the threats have been eliminated our heroes will begin to carefully traverse its trapped halls.  With some nontraditional methods of dungeoneering employed our heroes loot the halls and liberate those damned souls who cannot find rest.  Can the Warriors of Light liberate this e...

The Horrible Part THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light have been ambushed by tremendous horrors of overwhelming dread!  From within the walls, thin dark tendrils reach out to sap the life from our heroes.  The air is frigid and devoid of moisture deep within the darkness of the Spolarium.  Some will retreat for safety; others will wish they had when the lord of this domain appears to assert it's domin...

THIS WEEK: Tempted by the promise of hidden treasures, our heroes have decided to investigate the inner bowels of the Xin-Shalast Spolarium.  Those unfortunate souls that inhabit it's halls are less than welcoming to our heroes intruding their final resting spot.  Hostile spirits will attempt to remove the invaders from their haunted home - will the Warriors of Light be able to consecrate this spa...

THIS WEEK: After returning to the hidden lair to lick their wounds, The Warriors of Light come across a new type of challenge: a tree that cannot be defeated by punching it.  Within the areas of Xin-Shalast that contain colliseums and Circus Maximus our heroes find a location with plentiful opportunity for loot and valuables; however, the path forward seems impenetrable.  Will our heroes be able t...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light face against a new class of opponent.  A chitinous devil from the frozen realms of hell and mysterious spider-like aberrations that weeps blood are latest of challengers to test the might of our heroes.  With a less-than-optimal consideration given to positioning our teams front line fighters find themselves dangerously outmaneuvered by the fiendish foes.  Things g...

The Heptaric Locus THIS WEEK: Emerging from the overgrowth of The Tangle victorious, our heroes are ready to take a well-earned rest.  After emptying bags of holding filled with loot at their hidden lair, they continue back on their quest to interrupt the operations of the minions of Karzoug.  The next site of interest is a massive colliseum-looking structure with a seven-pointed motif.  As our he...

THIS WEEK: A minutes worth of combat has passed, and though the hordes have been felled the army of Yellow Musked Zombies and the Root of the Tangle continue to defend their home from the foreign invaders.  Summoned Daemons, explosive evocations and the black dragon they rode in on prove to be more than a challenge for the collection of fungus-infested fiends.  Now that the large monstrosity has e...

Yellow Musked Husks THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light continue their fight against the lost denizens of The Tangle.  Fungus-infested giants shamble ever closer towards our heroes in an effort to fight off the alien invaders to their land.  With so many foes at once, our heroes will practice their biggest, largest and most impactful spells to help thin the numbers.  Tune in to the continuation of th...

Spitting Hot Fire THIS WEEK: The Tangle throws terriffic tree-infested tyrants of towering temper tremoring towards our Title troupe.  It is not long before these botanical abominations swarm in to dig their roots into our heroes.  With javelin-sized arrows and man-sized boulders flying through the air, the denizens of the tangle prepare to fight off the intruders from their domain. Aristotle gets...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light have continued their first battle within the Tangle of Xin-Shalast.  Mysterious giants infested with vegetation stand to prevent our heroes progress - to proceed the threats will need to be eliminated.  The Warriors of Light will have to act fact if they do not wish to be added to the shambling mounds that infest this unnatural forest for fungus. Music Credits:  Th...

THIS WEEK: After reassembling their friend piece-by-piece, Morgiv reunites with our heroes and warns them of the nearby overgrowth known as The Tangle - telling rumor that those who have scouted within have never come back out again.  These ominous warnings sound like ample opportunity for the Warriors of Light to hunt the servants of Karzoug.  What our heroes find isn't exactly what they were exp...

THIS WEEK: Did anyone else feel that? Aristotle wrecks the map.  Hugo shares his energy.  Reetin lands with grace.  Vrasken finishes the rest.

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light continue to play King of the Hill with the rubble pile located within the center of a gaint-sized domed building.  As more and more yeti come to defend their home, our heroes will need to utilize unorthodox solutions to leave the fight alive.  When magical chanting can be heard in the crowd, these frozen fiends may be able to get the drop on their home invaders.  W...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light are back at the grindstone once more - except the tempering they need to do involves thinning the numbers of hostile abominable snowmen from within a large domed structure.  Eager to draw their leader out of hiding, our heroes will need to defeat the foes who charge in defending their home.  Will steel and magic prevail, or will the forces of evil outnumber our her...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light return to fight a group of Abominable inhabitants.  Hungry shadows and scorching rays work at these foes while the rest fight with steel, tooth and nail against these frigid assailants.  With the spoils of war going to the victors, our heroes will question their next actions, and how to best spend their limited time in the frozen crown of Varisian mountains.  Will...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light take a well deserved rest in Aristotle's magical mansion.  After some reflection on the growth undergone by some partymembers the players continue their quest to destabilize the lower levels of Xin-Shalast.  Their new Skulk allies share with the players their next target of treachery - a large domed building that looks to house feral, furry yeti within.  Will the s...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light are fighting the Hidden Beast, hiding in the depths of its hidden lair.  This vampiric Dodecapus, protected by an ensemble of fallen skulks, seeks to defeat the intruders to this profane promenade.  Beasts the likes of this one are never easily defeated; it'll take cunning, improvisation and brutal cunning to persevere against this unworldly aberration. Aristotle h...

EDITORS NOTE: Our audio capture device ran out of space in the middle of this recording and we lost a portion of Clinton's audio track.  You'd think the device would alert of such issue but hey what can you do?  About 3/4'ths of the way through you'll notice Clinton gets a lot less specific when speaking.  We were able to make out what was being said by listening to what others were saying and red...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light have defeated the Kuchrima guardians of Xin-Shalast and started their infiltration to the fabled city of gold.  While exploring, we discover a giant camp the likes of which have never before been seen by our heroes.  After disguising and infiltrating the camp we learn of a Giant looking to lead an insurrection against the vindictive overlords dominating the tribes....

THIS WEEK: The defenders of Xin-Shalast have taken flight!  As they quickly come to the assault of our heroes, positioning on the battlefield will prove pivotal to outmaneuvering a more mobile foe.  Will our heroes be able to defeat the flying beasts, or will the rain of arrows prove too much for the Warriors of Light?  Tune in to find out now! Aristotle plays peekaboo.  Hugo contemplates the atti...

THIS WEEK: After spending weeks starving and frozen, our heroes have finally found the long lost path to the fabled golden city of Xin-Shalast.  A road made of solid gold connects this impossibly large city with architecture that dwarves the Warriors of Light.  But plenty of the minions of Karzoug can be found within the neglected walls of this ancient city.  And they don't seem too welcoming to v...

THIS WEEK: The Warriors of Light are ready to begin the journey to Xin-Shalast.  With the information given to them by the late Vekker spirit, the gang will now need to starve in order for the pathway to the fabled city of gold to reveal itself.  An empty stomach might not be the only danger that threatens our heroes either. Aristotle is a slippy boy.  Hugo volunteers.  Reetin is blessed by Kurges...

THIS WEEK: The party has started the journey to find the hidden city of Xin-Shalast - The first step is to attune to the high altitude.  In order for the path to reveal itself to us one of the Warriors of Light will be required to fast for two weeks as well.  Our heroes make themselves a shelter close to the edge down by the river and prepare for their new adventure.  Will our heroe...

THIS WEEK: The party has defeated the outsider that hunted them around the Vekker cabin, and for avenging the fallen spirits have been rewarded with the instructions to find the fabled golden city of Xin-Shalast.  Though eager to start the next leg of their adventure, the gang decides it best to stock up and prepare for the journey to come.  Gold will be stacked, jokes will be cracked an...

THIS WEEK: The party has fled back to the Vekker cabin, eager to turn in their quest and continue their journey to Runeforge.  The monster from the clifftop has stalked our heroes down the mountainside, and it sounds hungry.  Back-to-back, our heroes look out into the snowstorm to try and spy their foe before it hunts the Warriors of Light one by one. Aristotle is bait.  Hugo stares...
