Tabletop

Session#9  Forge of Fury 3
4/8/47 The dwarven priest Tordek visits Stone Tooth and helps Amket the Altanian warrior, Ying Fu the Monk, and Nemesis the Amazon investigate the caverns and dungeons beneath. In an ancient dwarven forge they defeat a small group of Kazadurgar - Deep Dwarves - who have claimed the Forge. Investigating further they defeat a mighty animated table, inter the bones of fallen dwarf heroes, and thus lay to rest the ghost of Durgeddin's dwarven wizard.

Session #10 Forge of Fury 4
11/8/47 A group of heroes enters the Forge of Fury, defeats a succubus summoned long ago by Araundil the dwarf-mage, then finds and finally slays the black dragon Nightshade, ending the threat to the amazon garrison.
Queen Laurana thanks the heroes. Captain Hippolyta promotes Nemesis to Amazon Corporal. In Carchimish Trystan the Bard makes a stunning performance at the Harper's Cauldron Inn, relating the tale of the battle, attracting even the King and Princess Lyssana, now wearing a ruby-heart necklace of Meroya. He concludes with a moving paeon to the Power of Love.
With the help of the merchant Kym Goodkind, the heroes are able to have Dark Odo craft various magic items for 500 gold apiece, even bonding a powerful enchanted Greatsword +2 forged by Durgeddin into an Amazon Warblade (14/8/47).

15/8/47 Carrick the Sorceror enacted a Ritual of Banishing to drive the Succubus from Khundrakar.

The group now plans to answer Dr Rosa's plea for aid in seeking out the Nixthisis in Stonehell, whose evil power it seems grows daily...

David's Group - Bratanis
Bratanis- 11/8/47; A band of heroes head deep into the Sunless Citadel, to the bottom level of the dungeon.
Sadly the adventurers they were sent to rescue had been corrupted by a mad druid outcast and the power of a vampiric tree. Words failed. Swords didn't.
As an aside, the heroes also bring back word that the hobgoblin who are raising trouble around Bratanis have raised the stakes. According to the local kobolds, they are starting to try to source monstrous allies from the local area, with a potential aim of 'righting the scales' against humanity. And there may be more dangerous foes rising, talking of shortcuts to power...
After clearing out the Citadel, the heroes explored a local cave, which led deep underground.
Fungal forests were found, and underground rivers coming out of nowhere were found.
