The Rise of Ishana Storm-Friend or Foe

previously I dreamt last night of a destiny calling. Dreams bathed in a crimson glow, I stood supreme on a mound of fallen foes. And now I ruled the land. Oh Ishana! You are naughty! Looks like I'm going to have to up my game a bit. Stuck in an endless cavern next to a … Continue reading The Rise of Ishana Storm-Friend or Foe →

The Rise of Ishana Storm-The Darkness below pt2

previously We raced down the tunnel. As we ran another roar shook the ground. More earth tumbled down. "Quick! Down here!" yelled Boreff. Without a chance to ask where down here was, I once again found myself tumbling down a rocky slope face-first, my staff landing on top of me. Seconds later the monk skidded … Continue reading The Rise of Ishana Storm-The Darkness below pt2 →

The Rise of Ishana Storm – The Darkness Below Pt 1

previously I picked my way through the devastation inflicted on our underground foe. The air tinged with a sorcererous taint. Unnatural flames flickered on the remains of those consumed by blasting fire. The odd flicker of corrupted electricity leapt from dead grimlock to dead grimlock. Limbs and heads scattered all over.

So now there is just two Player Characters plus my mate DM'ing (yes it's cosy but now there are three PC's!) . We find a chest. My buddy says … Continue reading Traps! Spikes and Yikes! →

Vikings for example, were known to use a variety of different weapons including axes and are often portrayed in film and books using them. The Viking Axe discussed here is perhaps different from those often … Continue reading Axes-The Mediveal Chopper! →

Sorcery! Ice,Fire and Lighting!

In all the years I've been playing roleplaying games, my character has been either somebody who is good at cleaving their foes into pieces or wait for it...sneaking around and striking from the shadows. But! Oh how I've matured. I've finally discovered the joys of magic. This is great. It now means that rather than … Continue reading Sorcery! Ice,Fire and Lighting! →
