DnD2011 - One Night in Free Port
The year of 2011 began with the player characters achieving 10th level – the paragon tier, and rang out with an epic clash with a primordial that saved the world and propelled each of the heroes to demi-god status. Every Friday night at my house, the gang gathers about the round (or sometimes oval) table to toss aside the frets of the week and have fun, enjoy friendship, food, and bask in the glory of victory, or wallow in the depths of defeat, depending mostly upon my whim as an Evil DM and Agent of Chaos.
Chicken?
This year we experimented in all sorts of tasty foods. Some weeks, we plan out elaborate affairs, with emails flying back and forth as to ingredients, side dishes, drinks and other important equipment. Other times, we just cobble together whats at hand, or my beautiful wife will create one of her many delicious recipes. The food is a great part of what keeps the game together, because hey! people gotta eat, right?
Volcano of Dread
The year started out auspiciously, the characters had survived the desiccating deserts of Dark Sun and had beaten the demi-lich and lord of Time and Space in his tomb. The Isle of Dread was a paradise when they stepped through the portal, lush with life and vigor – so what if they had to fight off a bunch of four armed white apes, this was part of the natural flow of life.
Hex Discovering the Fountain of Gold
While on the Isle, they fought hags, displacer panthers, and discovered an Enchanter’s Mansion under bewitchment. They rescued his three children and the enchanter from enchantment. They freed a race of chibi fanatons from servitude and discovered the origin of the halfling race.
Brood of Fang TItan Drakes feed on remains of party
Oh at some point most of them were eaten by a T-rex Fang Titan Drake and its brood. Hex fled the scene, chased by a raging T Rex all the way back into the jungle where he met Felipe strolling along.
Capturing the Githyanki Pirate Ship - Bleche Pieulle
Some live, some die, all are captured by pirates. After escaping capture, they slew the Githyanki pirate band to steal their ship – the Bleche Pieulle.
Attack of the Purple Sea Worm
On the renamed Pyrpyl Wyrm +3 and with a crew of escaped slaves and chibi fanaton, the freebooters sailed across the Sea of Dread region, fighting a sea purple worm and taking its skull for a prize, and its hide for sails. They explored caves and small isles, fought a hydra, dracolich, and other fantastic creatureas and locations, until they came to the Free Port City of the Marquoille, where the gang engaged in politics, and uncovered a secret serpentine plot to capture the city.
Other stuff happened, then they killed a primordial who blew up, instantly slaying the heroes in an apocalypse of divine chaos energy. Read about it below:
