Stonehell B Team: Blood Sucking Stirges
Sonara, Wizard (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling (Josh)
3 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Pibble, VI)
Continuing in the Contested Corridors, they find a stash of coin in a ruined chapel, then find some old storage closets where an unusual amount of rock salt keeps turning up. Then they find a trio of hobgoblins in a large room chilling out. They don’t maintain their chill, and attack the party. Being outnumbered, they are quickly cut down. However as the party is rifling through their stuff, Kess notices that the wounds on the hobgoblins’ bodies are stitching up on their own. Working quickly the party piles them up and douses them with oil before lighting them on fire.
Several rooms later the party is set upon by a pack of stirges. Pibble and IV drop, Sonra, iGor, and Loahn get bit before the pests could be killed. Limping along they come to the Chamber of the Desert. The way is blocked by a portcullis, so Adorellen grabs and lifts, only to be dropped on by a green slime hiding in the channel of the portcullis! Everyone helps to scrape and burn it off them.
Back up to the caves they catch 4 goblins among the mushrooms. “Just passing though” the party assures them. Everyone keeps their distance across the cave, and no one gets hurt. In the next section of the cave, over a dozen giant crickets are bouncing around. Loahn has one crash into him, and he squashes it with his hammer in reply. This sets off the rest of the crickets, who go bouncing around the cave like crazy. iGor takes one right in the face and goes down. Kess gets to him quickly and gives him a healing potion.
Gains: coins
Kills: thouls, cave cricket, stirges
Losses: IV

Stonehell B Team: Team Edvard
Session 306 was played on 11/2/25
Sonara, Wizard 3 (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf 2 (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold 3 (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric 3 (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling 3 (Josh)
4 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 6)
KARL! Dwarf 9 (Julia)
The party talks with the vampire Edvard, finds out that he doesn’t want to be the “fairy king” or even the “fairy consort” but he’s too afraid of the fairy queen to stand up to her, and for some reason, she really gets off on being with him. The party offers to take care of his problem, and he tells them that she’ll be back in 5 days.
He goes back to his coffin, and the party talks about what to do, and how to do it…. It’ll take too long to make any potions, but maybe Lady Eiric has a stash of Nate Bombs? Karl suggests that raiding her vault, with permission, is the way to go… however as it’s still days away, how about going down to level 2 for some fun?
Heading down to the Reptile House they stumble upon an army of giant frogs almost right away.
Short on action, but there was a lot of talking, planning, discarding plans, more planning, and yet more planning, and even a call to Lady Eiric (Kat) for permission to raid her vault

Stonehell B Team: Bang a Gong (redux)
Sonara, Wizard 3 (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf 2 (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold 3 (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric 3 (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling 3 (Josh)
4 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 6)
KARL, Dwarf 9 (Julia)
As the party wrapped up with Rocky, the door opened behind them and Karl walked in, nodded at the party and gave Rocky a lovely chunk of quartz. The party tells Karl about the gong, and he grabs the maps, flips through them, and points. “There!”
From Rocky, they head into the quiet halls, passing through the Dance Macabre door, and over to the giant snake skeleton room. The giant snake skeleton remains smashed from a prior visit, but 7 zombies were happy to attack the party. Kess turned 3, while the rest of the party killed the other 4. Karl watched. A fair bit of jewelry was collected from the corpses.
Pressing on, they passed the shrine to Baal, where giant centipedes swarmed out, hungry for living flesh, and got chunks from iGor, Kess, and VI. They didn’t get to enjoy the bites for long, as the party sliced and stomped them. Further on some bricked up zombies busted out, but Kess told them no. From there it was a short walk to the grand hall, and the giant rusty gong strung up high between 2 pillars at the southern end of the room.
Karl yelled “BANG A GONG” as he chucked a hammer at it, causing it to ring out loudly. “Now what?”
They didn’t have to wait too long, the rattling of skeletons sounded from one of the side passages to the east. Following the half a dozen skeletons was a bedraggled looking figure in grey and black robes. His long stringy hair looked greasy, and the shadows under his eyes just made his overly pale skin look even more unhealthy. “Who are you?”
Gains: zombie’s jewelry
Kills: zombies, giant centipedes

Stonehell B Team: Glimmer's Rash Act!
Session 298 was played on 8/31
Sonara, Wizard 3 (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf 2 (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold 3 (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric 3 (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling 3 (Josh)
6 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Returning to Stonehell, the B Team heads to Rocky. On the way they encounter 6 dwarves from the Hermitage and chat with them briefly. Moving on they get to Rocky and chat with him before getting to the questions.
Q: How are you?
A: Good
Q: Where are the fey coming from?
A: When the Winter Court sits upon the throne, the mushroom ring will open
Q: Where is the mushroom ring?
A: In the hothouse where the dryad reigns.
They thank Rocky, and head out to the Quiet Halls chopping skeletons and zombies as they go, and make their way down to Kobold Korners’ back door. The guards collect their weapons, and take them to meet with Attendant Sned, the new boss. They head through the Korners, and down to the old fighting pits and slave enclosure, both recently revived under Sned’s leadership. Within the slave enclosure they see 3 goblins, 2 kobolds (Nolti’s lackeys, Sned informs them), an elf and a human. Sned has his accountant Cogs bring out the books for the party to review on Borumar’s behalf. Glimmer, twitchy over the slave situation, backstabs Sned. The guards go for their weapons, but Morgana drops a Sleep spell, which takes out Roi, the guards, the nearby pixies, and the slaves!
The party yells at Glimmer for his rash action, but decides to make the best of it. They stuff Sned’s body into a box, free the slaves, and wake Cogs to make a receipt saying the party bought the slaves. They then hog tie and gag him, and the sleeping guards. As non-chalantly as possible, they head back to the main entrance of the Korners to collect their weapons, taking the slaves with them, and then head quickly back to town.
Gains:
Kills: Attendant Sned, skeletons and zombies

Stonehell: The B Team Begins
Sonara, Wizard 3 (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf 2 (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold 3 (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric 3 (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling 3 (Josh)
The PC’s were generally all vaguely aware of each other. Sonara and Adorellen both being apprentices of Morgana, Glimmer being one of the winged kobolds from Nick’s keep, and Loahn being a local working with the thieves guild in the town and acquainted with Borumar. Kessaren only arrived recently, having had the caravan she was traveling with hit by monsters, and her making it to Nick’s castle for sanctuary. Morgana is sending her apprentices out to go deal with things in Stonehell. The others are told about the mission and are those who volunteer to join up. An additional 6 kobolds are incentivized to join in on a promise of 5sp each per day.
The party departs Morgana manse and takes the old king’s road north out of town, crossing over the causeway through the swamp and then up into the foothills where the box canyon rests. They bypass the Gatehouse Inn, and head for the main entrance of Stonehell, reading the inscription above the doorway for the first time. Beyond the doorway they see the names inscribed on the walls, and each adds their own.
They take the stairs down, and follow their map into the kitchen and banquet room off the entry room. Giving it a thorough search, they discover a map scratched onto the underside of the table. In the kitchen area, they work the stuck pump over the sink until they pop out a stone and release a green slime that was blocked behind it. Glimmer gets splashed by a tiny bit of the green slime and ends up with some burns to show for it.
Gains: 60gp gem
Kills: Green Slime
