    Letter 004

    Hello Jayna,

    I’m afraid I have some mixed news on the fortunes of our little group. We are all now members of the Dragonfall Guild inherited from my late Father which does give me a certain satisfaction. We’ve even completed some freelance contracts which has kept us in the black!
    Alas the last contract ended on a bad turn. I cannot divulge too much but we have lost a lot of autonomy so I feel we will be travelling often at the behest of our new paymasters.

    Offering 135

    My Queen,

    I was unable to complete the last rites on the minstrel in Farview, however I was able to transcribe her moment of hopelessness and offer a locket given to her by her Aunt. By Your Grace may her Journey be untroubled.

    I find myself unexpectedly taken to Bannock, a small yet propserous fishing village, and in the company of strangers.

    Walking the Canals

    As the lockdown restrictions start being lifted in England (which could have happened earlier if the government hadn’t decided that sacrificial herd immunity was the best course of action), I’m going to try and get off my arse more and walk in the mornings before work.

    The first walk was on Saturday and it was really nice, although I had to get up far earlier than usual to avoid people as much as possible. I’ve included some photos from the walk below.

    3 Wizards & a Cleric: The End of Sorcha and The World

    Postmark: Unknown

    After a considerable journey to rescue Traben and his village from Illithids the party went into the Underdark looking for diamonds to attempt to restore victims of the Illithids’ destruction. There they came face-to-face with a Tanarukk horde, created and driven by some unknown entity. The Tanarukks proved to be too much for the party who beat a fighting retreat back to the surface - in the process Sorcha was captured and sacrificed in a blood ritual with her soul bound to the Nine Hells. Subsequent attempts to summon her soul back failed and her final fate is unknown.

    A while later the party picked up Krodhal, a half-orc stranded out of time. While he played-up to the Orcish stereotypes he was unable to read or write so there are no written records from his perspective of his adventures with the party. Bardic tales are still told of the struggle against a creature older than the Gods who swallowed the world out of spite and jealousy, and a half-orc who broke the teeth of a monstrous plane-spanning leviathon to give his friends a single moment to save all of the realms. However, these are just Bardic fantasy because the world obviously didn’t end.

    Lockdown Downley

    There was some unwelcome but not unexpected family news just before the lockdown started in the UK so I ended up staying with my parents for a few months.
    It was nice to be back and there was certainly a lot more space to go walking than in London but I did miss a few things (mainly the computer). We managed to get quite a lot of board games done, including T.I.M.E. Stories which I might write a review about later.
