SKT Session 4 (9/20/22): Decisions... Decisions...

One of the prisoners, the moon elf woman, let the adventurers know that she was a princess named Halani Meliamne and that she wanted to return to the Moonwood, the home she was taken from. She said that while she would not be able to give the adventurers anything beside her gratitude, she could promise safe deliverance of the other prisoners to the nearest town. As a result, the airship set off to the west, towards the Moonwood. "I do actually have something to offer. I have information." Along the way to the elves' home, the princess spoke up once again. She informed the adventurers of a plot that the yakfolk were involved in. The yakfolk have an ability to possess other creatures, and within the last week, they possessed some dwarven prisoners and sent them towards Citadel Adbar, reportedly to assassinate the king. With this news, the party decided that they would head to Citadel Adbar directly following dropping the freed prisoners in the Moonwood. On the way to the Mo...

SKT Session 3 (9/13/22): Escaping Ironslag

The fire giant duchess asked the adventurers why they were rifling through her things. When no one answered, she attacked! Her two ogres in aprons rushed forward with giant rolling pins, swinging them at the party. She drew a massive greatsword and begun swinging at the brave adventurers. However, the party was able to ward off the attackers, defeating the two ogres and forcing the duchess to surrender. She grabbed Galanodel and began to make a run for the duke, but was halted by the rest of the party, standing strong against her attempted flee. "You may take whatever you'd like, just let me live." The party made off with all of the contents of the chest as the duchess sat on her bed, clutching her wounds. Moving quietly, they were able to avoid the discovery of Duke Zalto. Upon reaching the yakfolk village, things were a little too quiet. No one seemed to be out and about in the village tonight, despite the disappearance of one of the chief's wives. Taking advantage ...

SKT Session 2 (9/5/22): The Forge of the Fire Giants

The airship quickly made its way due east, heading towards where the oracle said the Duke would be residing. Late into the evening of their seventh day of travel, the party saw what looked to be a village atop a spire-like mountain range. They decided that this must be the village of the yakfolk. Dhrys and Kimberly decided it would be best to approach as two travelers who were seeking an audience with Duke Zalto, the fire giant lord. They set up a way to communicate with the rest of the party telepathically, then flew down from the airship with the help of a fly  spell from Kimberly and pounded on the gate closing off the main part of the village. A tall, furry creature resembling a mixture between a yak and a man opened the gate and asked the two travelers what they wanted. "State your business." Dhrys spoke up and claimed that the two wanted an audience with the fire giant lord, Duke Zalto. Seemingly surprised that the adventurer knew the whereabouts of the duke, he further...

SKT Session 1 (8/29/22): The Chosen Path

After retrieving three relics (a giant's golden tooth, a mithral spear tip, and half of a giant's mask) from Uthgardt burial mounds, our adventurers made their way back to the temple. The party, now consisting of Lucien, the aasimar, Nadhrys, the drow, and Seamus the fairy, became acquainted with two other interesting people on the airship: Galanodel the thri-kreen and Kimberly the... human? Upon reaching the Eye of the All-Father, the party was reunited with Harshnag, the friendly frost giant, after a tenday of travel retrieving relics. Harshnag was delighted to see the party once again, and ordered them to speak with the oracle to be delivered their fates. The party moved through the already open portal, and placed the relics onto the ground in the center of the oracle's chamber. The torches on the six giant statues surrounding this area burned bright as the chamber rumbled and the relics sunk into the floor. The oracle spoke clearly to the party. "Travel east, o’er ...
