A Sliver of Despair

Session date: January 3, 2018 Day 3 - Into the Jungle of Chult The party gathers in the common room of Kaya's for their last meal in civilization for who knows how long. The mood is a mixture of excitement and wonder, none of them know what the jungles of Chult will be like. There is a strong sense of resolve, knowing that countless peoples lives are at stake on the success of their mission to find and destroy the soulmonger, perhaps even their own! They meet up with their guide and she checks over their supplies and the adequacy of how they are packed on the lizards and they head towards the Tiryki Gate and the wonders of Chult.

Session date: December 27, 2017 The News Around Town The adventurers didn't get to celebrate their victory in liberating Julkoun from the goblinoids long, as news started circulating around Daggerford about a new and bigger menace threatening the realms. "For the past several days, the talk of the streets and taverns has all been about the so-called death curse: a wasting disease afflicting everyone who’s ever been raised from the dead. Victims grow thinner and weaker each day, slowly but steadily sliding toward the death they once denied. When they finally succumb, they can’t be raised — and neither can anyone else, regardless of whether they’ve ever received that miracle in the past. Temples and scholars of divine magic are at a loss to explain a curse that has affected the entire region, and possibly the entire world." A courier arrived later in the day with an invitation for dinner with Sir Isteval and a special guest that anted to meet him in him manor in...
