Once upon a time, a group of adventurers found themselves between a rock and a soon-to-be-murdered place: a warlock, a monk, a boss, a druid, an archer, and, of course, The Bard. Continue reading “Session 4 — Tales from the Bard: A Precarious Proposal”
Session 3 — Tales from the Bard: Disastrous Dealings
Once upon a time, a group of adventurers set out to find their destiny: a warlock, a thieving monk, a boss, a druid, an archer, and, of course, The Bard. Our heroes awoke one morning, rested and wide-eyed, ready to head out into the city of Dis to learn her secrets and achieve glory! All but the thieving monk, who spent the night in a dirty alley on account of all his thieving… Continue reading “Session 3 — Tales from the Bard: Disastrous Dealings”
Session 2 — The Garish Governor
After resting in Umbria and learning through Remi’s “walkie-talkie” that “the Boss” was safely waiting for them in Dis, the party set out for the city. They encountered smoking pits filled with the smoldering undead along the way. Dis was surrounded by a gorge that acted as a moat, and it was only after offering a bribe that the attendants of the drawbridge granted the party admittance.

Session 1 — Tales from the Bard: The Violent Village
Once upon a time in a faraway land, a group of adventurers awoke on a deserted beach: a monk, an archer, a druid, a warlock, and, of course, The Bard. With nothing on the beach but sand and monsters, the group marched onward in search of honor and glory, guided by the “reliable” voices heard in the monk’s head. The group walked and walked and, as the sun fell, they came across a most friendly fire, its only occupant an aging hermit. While others would be hesitant, Milo Morstrum knew his reputation would carry them into the man’s good graces, and he approached the hermit and introduced his group. The hermit (tentatively named Remi the Second the Lesser, the Second of his Name), bewildered at his good fortune in meeting a celebrity, could scarcely keep his wits about him, but after a while the group was able to surmise that he was fleeing from “bad men” from the northwest.

Session 0 — Castaways
This is the beginning of a remarkable group of six adventurers: Remi the tortle monk; Kaicho the firbolg rogue; Arden the wood elf druid; Milo the halfling bard and his mastiff Hank; Mav the high elf arcane archer; and Ragon the aasimar warlock. Some of the adventurers had shared histories. Kaicho traded in art with his assistant Remi. Milo performed with Arden’s support. In banding together, the adventurers hoped to explore the world while earning riches and fame. There were whispers of strange and unexplained events occurring in the Arka Islands. It was this lure of adventure that led the group to embark on a ship headed to Carcoasa, the smallest of the four Arka Islands. Continue reading “Session 0 — Castaways”
