DCC: Lair of the Emerald Enchanter: Part 1

-
Cast
Kathy as Kiya the Albina Halfling, Kilcea the Albino Dwarf, Kitia the Albino Cleric of Mardua, Berry the Marauder, and Wilhelm the Merchant
John as Amar the Desert Warrior, Avery the Cleric of Choranis, Ederic the Hound, Foxy the Werefox & Badger the Child Wizard
The party climbs the foreboding plateau to rescue their "friend" Badger from the Emerald Enchanter. While not too keen on rescuing badger for Badger's sake, the runes indicate that not saving the troublesome wizard could bode a doom for this world (and they have destroyed enough already!). The citadel looks like a squat two story fortress, with a large first floor and small second. An enormous door is guarded by two emerald warriors. Foxy runs forward (as a fox) and the two "statues" come to life give chase.  After a short brutal combat, the statues are destroyed and Amar and Kiya pick the best emeralds out of the pile of remaining shards. 
In a main hall, the party confronts a "tile golem" which is both hard to kill and able to summon additional "tile" allies. The shear ability of the party to inflict hurt beats the tile golems down and they move on with few wounds...all healed by Avery, Accidental Destroyer of Worlds. 
Foxy uses her thief skills to find many secret doors and almost gives the party an early win by encountering the strange green sorcerer that owns the citadel (the Emerald Enchanter). The Green One sends two skulls to attack the characters then thinks to escape - but he clearly did not plan on Ederic the Meddling Mutt! The Mutt gives chase and takes a bite out of both the Green Wizard';s hindquarters (before being slain by a mass of flying skulls). 
The skulls dead, the party moves forward, now in search of both Badger and the dog Ederic. In a long narrow hall they encounter another emerald warrior who manages to slay Avery, Accidental Destroyer of Worlds, before being chopped down himself. 
The party takes stock of their situation, loot and losses and prepared to move on through the strange citadel to both avenge and free their friends...

{This is the third of a new campaign of Horror on the Orient Express}   Cast: John as Prof. Robert Hartford, Curator at The British Museum Kathy as Violet Carol Arey, Dillittant, American EXPAT Marco as Charles Mcgee, Student at London University Mike as Dmitri Feodorovna, refugee Russian noble/ Big Game Hunter Maria as Weiss Voigt, German Engineeress At the end of last session, Charles and the Proffessor had chosen to NOT try the model train and wait to let the others know of their find. After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try. Proffessor Hartford activated the train and the group watched (holding umbrellas as it was raining) as it went round and round the figure eight. Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash, Part I: Red Redemption and the Master of Chamber XIII

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

They needed a break (from the guilt) of releasing a random zombie apocolypse on Punjar every couple of weeks. Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
