GenCon 2007

Alas, no adventure this time. But a luck few have made the journey to Indianapolis to participate in the best 4 days in gaming.

When I get the chance I will post more notes and pictures.

Riders on the Storm

The party, rested and prepared, make their final assault into the belly of the Thunderer. Crashing through the hold the adventurers encounter the final guardian plant ghosts. Their ability to entangle and ensnare the party causes many problems. There in the deepest part of the Thunderer, a pit into what should be the ocean. The party begins a slow, treacherous climb down into the foul smelling hole of vegetation. At the bottom lurks a huge mass plant life, wreathed in smaller version of the plant-ghosts. At 20 feet tall, it begins to assault the party as soon as they are in reach. The party struggles in the battle, their feet entangled, biting baby plants, and the long arms of vines give little room for anyone to escape 'The Mother of All". Alas the group prevails and the Thunderer begins to sink into the sea. The swimmers find little treasure in the deep.

5 Days after the ship escapes the Journey's End, the dawn rises with the peaks of the Isle of Dread in sight. As the day progresses, a terrible storm rises. This one is much worse than the previous one, and the crew works feverishly to keep the ship going. With much effort, the Sea Wyvern stays afloat, but a giant wave casts it upon Masher Reef. With the arrival of activity in its territory, the eel-like Masher attacks the ship in the on-going storm. Quick action by the party, and the creature is defeated. Urol Forol dies in the crash, still entangled in his hammock.

After the reef takes its tool, the Sea Wyvern struggles to keep going. The storm pounds the ship until it finally gives way. The ocean storm continues through the night, and the party wakes on the shore of the island. The ship is aground, and will not sail without significant repairs. As the party begins to regroup, a giant prehistoric lizard springs onto the beach looking for a meal. Rudolpho volunteers and leaps valiantly into the mouth of the Tyrannosaur and the party eventually vanquishes the dread beast.
