Scions of Punjar, Part 5: Windmill Assault...Part 1?

-

Cast:
Gian: Beltran the Thief and Biddle the Halfling
Keith as Raeburn the Thief and Emyrs the Elf
Kathy as Kiya the Albino Halfling, Kitilia the Albino Dwarf, Kilcia the Albino Cleric of Mardua
John as Badger the Child/Cat Wizard and Amar the Desert Marauder
Walter as Hanur the Dwarf and Gildarin the Elf (both drunk and left lying on the floor of the Famished Frogmouth Tavern)

The group had found out from the brigands that the raider of tombs (the target of the 25gp, 250gp, or (actual) 1000gp bounty - depending on which story the K-girls werte telling at the time) was a witch holed up in a windmill ourtside of Punjar. After giving the bandits 48 hours to clear out of town, the party set out to assault the windmill...but, these things are never simple.  Hanur and Gildarin went back to the Froggolleth and got drunk as monkeys and replacements were needed. Sooo...
Welcome! Beltrane the thief and Biddle the Halfling, getting a big 25 gp plus loot share...
The party sent the thieves ahead to scout, which they did well enough finding the windmill and cautiously approaching. Then three scarecrows attacked the main party hanging back...

After a swift, but bitter fight, the scarcrows were dispatched, Biddle was saved from death, and Amar was unstuck. Also, Badger lost his legs and grew a hairy snake tail...see catsnake...
Shoked, and more than a little disturbed, the thieves attempted to enter the building. Beltrne noticed a strange glyph on the back door and with a little luck, was able to defeat the magic trap (whatever it was!) and open the ddor. (It is good to have a halfling luck battery freind!).
Inside the party found an undaed-salt troll - whoi immediately started the central windmill gears. 
Raeburn slipped in, but saw he was WAY outgunned and hung back. Oil was flung and Cthulhu was summoned, and to add insult to overkill, a catsnake wizard boy overburned magic missile to put the big undead beastie down. 
Everyone stopped to catch a breath (and burn the corpse with oil) before heading to the upper floor.

{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 ...
