Through Ultan's Door

Hi all! I want to return to the game on a weekly basis, starting with a next session on 6/7, the Thursday after this one. This time has been extremely useful to me to recharge and get my head straight. And I'm almost there. I could imagine running this week, but I honestly think it will go better if I wait until next week. So we'll pick back up on 6/7 with a trip into the King's Tower! I'll post an invite the Sunday before. Eric Boyd Aleksandr Revzin Chris P. Evlyn M Pete Segreti Shemek hiTankolel Maxime Golubchik

Who currently has the chainmail bag with the metallic bee trap buzzing around in it? Is it me?

Hey! I’ll be out in Richmond, VA vacationing from the 15th to the 20th. This kind of kicks off a summer fall period of intermittent availability. I’m planning to attend Gen Con, provided the summer job can save up enough $. I’ll also be in the KC, MO area in June so if I’m near you and you want to grab a soda and or talk nerd biz, just PM me etc.

I hate writing these same sentences over and over again, but I can't run the session this week. I am finding myself too busy. Normally that's OK, because D&D is so fun that sufficient space always opens up in the week to prep, etc.. (Procrastination, yay!) But stuff having to do with my job has got me down. I'm under a lot of pressure, and wondering what I'm really doing, and what my future is going to be like. This has sapped my energy. What I'm inclined to do is just ride it out, cancelling sessions a la carte when I know I won't be able to get it together to run. Summer will be here soon, much less exhausting for me. Anyway, sorry to be so intermittent in my gaming recently, I know that on and off doesn't work for everyone, and isn't ideal for anyone.

Here's the second level of the South Wing, which has all been looted by you. There is a staircase that leads up, however, that is unexplored, on the left side of the map at the top. Presumably that leads up to the interior of level 3, where you haven't been yet.

Return to the Hanging Palace: Recap and the Take The last three sessions saw the party crawl through a shimmering priaduct to return to their old base of operations at the pagodas of the hanging merchants. There they caught up with their old comrade Bulras, who filled them in on the recent goings on. They ducked some kind of malfeasance from Nekalimon, the merchant on the payroll of Bazekop, Prince of the West Wind. Salinger’s contact informed him that Umpalior the Great was in the process of reclaiming the sewers and undercity, and that goods were often searched by armed guards on the Great Sewer River. The party returned quickly to the jungle, fearing Bazekop’s unwanted attentions, and longing to put the hound Hector to rest in the Burial House of the hanging palace’s gardens. Along the way they were bushwacked by Transit Ivy, murderous vines with a deadly teleportation power.
