…and the sky full of dust.

Session 50 As the Huge Great Green Dragon burst from the roof of the hall, Magnus in raven-form flew off straight to the lizardmen lair, ducking through windows to hide his presence and managed to escape from its sight, flying off into the forest, as the dragon landed upon the rubble and shouted out for the attention of the chieftain. Meanwhile, seeing the dragon appear, the rest of the party abandoned the field and hid, behind rubble, fallen tent and

Session 42 The old man invited the heroes down to his cellar, to spend the night and partake of the roasting pig him and his friends were about to settle down to eat. Callum said he needed to talk to his friends first, and walked back to the others: there Magnus told them all that the old man was under a glamour and was actually some sort of red-skinned, dog-headed demon! The old man called out that they should join

Session 41 Back outside, the heroes discussed how best to go back in and destroy the undead barrow wights and their self-proclaimed king. With their magic-arsenal at full-strength and armed as well as they were, it wasn’t long before they decided to just head back in and simply charge them. With Alf leading the way, they made their way back through the tunnels and came into the large central chamber: but is was empty, the enemy had flown! Callum spotted

Session 40 The tide of the battle turned for the heroes, as Callum, Jacob and Willow took out the remaining skeletons and zombies, and Magnus engaged the lizardman trying to skewer him. Blows were exchanged, but one-by-one the walking dead fell to ruin, and the wizard held his own long enough for Jacob to move in and decapitate the lizardman from behind. Meanwhile, under the barrow, Ratkin charged after the lizardman struggling along with the paralysed Alf, and used his

Session 39 After retreating into the surrounding forest, the heroes watch and see another lizardman appear from around the stone building and drag his friends out of sight. A few minutes later they all rush across the clearing and disappear into one of the other barrows. Taking advantage of this, Alf and Magnus cross to the building and nip inside, and are immediately confronted by the injured zombie that is still standing there: Alf takes it out with a well-placed

The heroes travel to the ring of stones known as the Blood Sisters and come across several dead fir darrig, a few days old and ravaged by some wild animal. They find bear prints but nothing else. So they spend time chanting away to activate the portal and use the teleporting ring to travel to the linked stones all the way South near the Inn of the Dancing Donkey. There they chat to the innkeeper and learn that the Lord

Session 37 From the cellar below the heroes could hear coughing, then grumbling, movement, and a splash of water as the fires were doused. A few more coughs followed, then silence. Alf decided he was tired of waiting and headed down again, spotting a couple of the ogres lurking in the darkness, squinting to see. He told them he could see them, and that he and his party were looking for something, and they intended to search the place, whether

Session 36 After burying their box of statuettes (in a place marked by a recognisable tree) the party of adventurers approached the ruins of the monastery with caution. They could see movement in the ruins, visible through the gaps in the trees: ogres, more like the feral ones they’d fought several times, not the kindly monks they had rescued a week ago now. Magnus came up with the idea of using his newly learnt cantrip to create a sound across
