Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 140

By Nottanis |  Jun 12, 2024  | osrrealms, dolemwood, nottanis, morin, pusha, punchman
Nottanis Feverborne called me in to help with selling three books in elvish the group had recovered some time ago and wanted to read before deciding whether or not to sell. I read a chapter from each, and decided two of them were worth reading more thoroughly. Worlds Beyond described alternative planes and dimensions, and Libraries of the Ancients was all about libraries and why elven libraries were better than all the others.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 139

Feverborne There were three trogolodytes, one for me, one for Oohya, and one for Pusha. Verminbane sliced mine in half deftly; I took only a small scratch in return. The others did not fare as well, both falling to their opponents quickly. Morin, however, struck from the shadows and killed one. The remaining creature fled down the ladder into what I assumed was their hideous larder of rotting flesh. Trusting Morin to hold the lantern and watch over our friends, I followed the creature down the ladder, hoping to slay it before it could find reinforcements.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 138

Feverborne We spoke with Bryce and Tristan, getting directions to the place their friend went missing. I took the opportunity to buy a bullseye lantern and oil, hoping that the longer range would help our explorations, and the ability to close the lantern to shut off the light would help us avoid notice. We descended into the sewers, following the directions given to us by the guild of sewermen. A slippery path downwards led to a long passageway north.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 137

Feverborne The amulet and potion turned out to be magical under Pish’s examination, the rest did not. We estimated the value of the dagger at 1500gp, but determined that no one is Eastdale would want to buy such a thing after Retep the antiquities dealer lowballed us. We determined that the best chance to get full value was to travel to a larger city, either Threshold or Prigswort, and determined to go to Threshold as I had other business there.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 136

By Feverborne |  May 15, 2024  | osrrealms, dolemwood, feverborne, morin, pish
Feverborne We spent the next day hunting and recuperating. Nifty and Pish hunted up a nice fat deer, which was roasted over a fire. We kept watch over the entrance to the grotto, hoping to get some warning if the strange ooze creature left. It did not, at least not that we saw. We spent a second night, and Closea’s grace healed my wounds. The platinum ring turned out to not be magical.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 135

Feverborne We left u-Heury negotiating with the slime monster and headed north, hoping to find the killer frogs by the underground stream and explore further. On the way, Nifty found all sorts of trouble: first she tried to dust the pillar of skulls and nearly died when it triggered some sort of magical effect. Then, in the next room, she bumped into a floating dust ball and had to be tied down with a rope to keep her from floating away.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 134

By Feverborne |  Apr 17, 2024  | osrrealms, dolemwood, feverborne, morin, pish
Feverborne We met in Eastdale, hoping to finish exploring the Grotto. With Morin along, we hoped to open a door that had previously been locked and impassable; beyond that, there were areas on the second level that we had yet to explore. While the undead areas might hold serious danger, the river with the frogs seemed possibly safer. Eastdale itself was not at all friendly to elves; Pish had some trouble getting inside the walls, though she spoke little of it.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Nifty

By Nifty |  Apr 11, 2024  | osrrealms, nifty
Nifty also enjoys journaling our adventures, but is played by another player. She is a 4’ tall, 19-year-old Housekeeper who is obsessed with cleaning and wants to be friends with everyone. She has short black hair in pigtails and loves to wear cute maid outfits. Jack of all trades - Nifty is shown to be talented in a handful of ways. She excels at cleaning, cooking, and sewing, and outside of work, she spends time reading and writing fanfiction

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 133

By Bern |  Apr 10, 2024  | osrrealms, dolemwood, bern, ygnas, pish
Bern Somehow we managed to escape the supernatural pull of the henge, and decided it was time for a break from adventure after that close call. I passed the tip about Aster’s fashions and the market in Prigswort to Oscar, who made an obscene amount of money trading on it. Nottanis spent some time researching the ivy ring we found, which turned out to be capable of magically controlling plants.

Realms of the Old School Renaissance -- Session 132

By Bern |  Apr 3, 2024  | osrrealms, dolemwood, bern, ygnas, pish
Bern We traveled further towards the southwest, but ended up walking in circles. I made the best of it and hunted up a small fox. There wasn’t enough left for a hat. Later on we encountered two groups of four strange walkers. We evaded them and watched the two groups meet up and become a circle of eight. They headed off in a new direction together, one close to a weird magnetic pull we were all feeling.
