Café de Nuit

THE DESCENT Alain follows the gnome. Next the dead men and their master, the priest carrying a sunrod. And in the rear, Katrin. Down you all go, into the gloom under the earth... After the long walk to the bottom, the weak light of the rod suddenly flares into full brilliance. The landing at the bot...

Kat shivers in the chill light, though whether it is the cold or the walking corpses is not entirely clear. She is staying well away from them, and not hiding her disgust. At Klokulf's words she makes a last check of her equipment, and nods. "I'm ready." She moves to the entrance and give...

Klokulf's dead men stand ready to serve their master.

He'll speak Kobold.

Noted.

After hearing Fala's report, Klokulf decides to come back later, at morning's first light. The party loops by the derelict farm to collect the horses that belonged to the dead men, before returning to Olek's Cairn. ....

I have updated and edited, to show that Fala goes down alone.
Scout and scoot.


You guys are riding back to the derelict farm to grab the dead men's horses and then back to town, yes?

Kat, is your PC going down?

If not, I'll do a wee edit.

use the standard array for stats. (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) any background/race is fine. I'm not that knowledgeable of Realms lore so I am using a homebrew area. Use whatever gods/options you like.

How are we generating PCs? 1st level? I can do that in ten minutes. Random rolls? Picking the traits. bond, etc. usually takes longer than the mechanical stuff, but I have a pretty good idea of his personality and background, so it shouldn't be difficult. And he'll have a straightforward, STR-based,...

So it shall be.
I first thought him up for a game Mike was going to run.

Those help, thanks.

I have posted an initial exploration of the Darkling Stair.

Down the steps, through the magical darkness, to what lies beyond.

The party rides overland to the Darkling Stair.... The adventurers find the hillside entrance as they left it, the boards loosened but placed back across the gloomy doorway. Plenty of daylight left, not even noon. Down there, of course, it's black as pitch and even a torch thrust in hardly relieves ...
