You will have to forgive this entry for being brief for the length of time it covers, but I recall praying to Kaliache the Creator and to the Matres for blessing us with this uninterrupted of peace and prosperity. As part of our deal for protection, I taught the Orcs common and spent the majority o

The battle raged. Kohlar, the ever pragmatic man made an executive decision.  An executing decision.  Bonebreaker Dorokor was broken. As first act as the new Blood Chief, Kohlar commanded the orcs to withdraw. Indra flew away with the panther dragon to help him recover. Barnette was summoned to the

We were given a direct order by Bonebreaker Dorokor. Restrain the dragon panther so that it remains her slave. Indra looked into the beasts eyes and noted that it was intelligent, it felt pain, and it was scared. We allowed the panther dragon to escape and even helped it. Two of our party however

We were told of some orcs who had Dwarven slaves were seen exiting our newly discovered mines, they were heading east. We followed and came across some mystical grasslands with a talking blade of grass, the air smelt of sulphur and clouds hurried over the area like it was tainted. The friendly blad

Perhaps what was more interesting was the undead skeleton bard who was guarding the iron throne and treasure room. It was a whimsical fight with lots of rhythmic movements. In this room was a prisoner chained on the wall. The Baron Malgus of the Court of All Flesh, a chaos being from the sea of et

Further exploration of this ruin revealed it to be an ancient structure, same stonework and reliefs as an Omoan temple. It appeared that this ruin was a type of outpost, stocked with an armoury and even a library of some sort. There were three doors, two of which were marked: “Beyond lies the Deal

As we were making our way back to Ashtown, Indra’s companion, Foxman, was kidnapped by a wayward cyclops, whom was gray skinned, big, and scaly. It had rocky fins around its face and pinkish gemstones coming off it’s body. Seemed to hail from the elemental plane of earth. Regardless, we murdered him

As it turned out, Jacob Juilete was not an unreasonable man. He worked for the High Table, a sprawling underground syndicate whom Dragoon used to work for, and he was ordered to capture Lefou for the Bakers Guild. As it turns out, the first automaton man would make for an excellent spy, good warri

Even though we are unclear on the details, we know that the heist was a rousing success at least in scaring away the battalion. The resulting week or so I believe was rather uneventful, a few different tradespersons moved to the up and coming town, having been named ‘Ashtown’ in memory of Ashton. J

Upon searching through Baygeord’s horde, some ‘fat loot’ was found as describe by the party. Most notable of which was a messenger satchel, the type that allows for the instantaneous transference of written correspondence. Inside of Baygeord’s pouch a most unsettling message was available. “Sister,

Yeah. Dealing with the worms. The worms our intrepid party first met way back in the very first entry. They had to deal with that. The apex predator right by their doorstep.  On their travels back to their settlement Baygeord apparently just started ‘messing’ with the magic forest, despite the part

This is perhaps the murkiest of the story in terms of what was uncovered, said or done. I cannot even be sure that Baygeord was with our heroes. Maybe she was just hiding in the background the entire time? All I know is that the following events occurred: • Lysergic gathered all the miniature figur

Not much could be said about the beginnings of the settlement. The bandits had been conscripted into roles in the town and they seemed to enjoy it. A steady job, purpose and community, something they were lacking. Ashton had been in contact with his commanders, and they confirmed they would arrive

With the information that Baygeord was in the nearby forest, the party set off, enjoying some blissful travels when they were ‘invited’ to part ways with their material possessions by a group of seven bandits. These bandits, probably hitting the worst bout of luck had were quickly dealt with, dis

You would have read the dramatis personae and thought that there were more than a few names missing. Don’t worry about them for now, they’ll be introduced in due time for we must focus on the beginnings and those that started this journey. Our adventuring group, the 8 of them, journeyed north out o

Given the downtime that was afforded to the party, we all pursued our own interests in this time. Kohlar cemented his rule over the Orcs and their (now his) keep. Back in Ashtown, a statue was unveiled, paid for by Lefou Clermont. It was of Ashton Clermont, for whom the town was named after. As re

Unbeknownst to the party, Kohlar had struck a deal with the orcs, and would invade Ashtown and the precious iron mine it was established to gather from. On reflection, I have to say that I do not condemn Kohlar for his actions. We first approached the orcs and then we fled leaving him behind. Known

Marron Maggot Ear, our new goblin ‘friend’ was very talkative, I suppose when you question a captive in front of their easily defeated friends and comrades that tends to loosen ones’ tongue. His ‘divine spiritual leader’ the Blood Chief, Bonebreaker Dorokor, would unite the orc clans under the orci

Our faithful companion, Lysergic, perished in the fight against the Chronicler. Or at least we think he did. He was shunted through time, as we found an inscription outside the library, centuries old. It was a crude drawing of Lysergic with the words “I’m trapped” written in Lysergic’s hand. A moro

The King’s door opened onto a trapped hallway that led to a throne room.  Upon the throne sat the king and his undead army which were defeated. Beyond his throne a secret passage led to an iron throne. I apologise for the brevity of this entry, there was something about that library with its own Chr

Esteban Earthfoot had a simple job for the party. Find an iron mine. He knew a rough location but needed some ‘muscle’ to get him there. He told us that we’d split the profits and that it was a worthwhile economic endevour. So of course the party took him up on the offer and journeyed over the moun

Having dealt with the ‘ogre’ we reported back to Borgdegot and were promptly thanked. Lysergic having noticed a peculiar man ‘Saffacus’ was carrying a suspiciously large bag through town and paid 20gp for it. Saffacus was told to bring this bag to the capital and dump the worms within into the wate

The party, emboldened by the kidnapping made under their noses made haste to track the kidnappers down. But curiosity is a fickle thing, and they were drawn to a blue Dragonborn caught in a net trap… It was Kohlar. Yes, that Kohlar. The first meeting was him suspended in a net. Kohlar had escaped

Like any well-prepared adventuring party, information was vital to gather and so they snuck into the approaching hobgoblin battalion camp and… something happened. The plan was simple, sneak in and poison the camp. Barnette would act as a spy to uncover information, and she’d pass this information o

To preface this entry. The betrayal is not onto the party, but because of them. They thought it best to invade and ‘deal’ with Baygeord before she could make a move against them and the rest of the settlement.  They arrived at the Baygeord’s and Amoa’s cave base and after some fanciful words with

Upon escaping the lost Omoan settlement, laden with jewels, and I do mean LADEN, 4981 gold pieces worth. This boon of wealth was greatly appreciated as our heroes realised that it would be an excellent influx of wealth to pay for labour in their new settlement. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves

With the assurance that the settlement was to be protected and developed our heroes made their way into the accursed swamp which made them feel more and more terrible the closer they got to it. Perhaps that feeling of despair was warranted as the very bog itself shambled into a mound and attacked,

The ruby gemstone dragon took to the air and with it, Indra, Lysergic and I think Dragoon. In fact it may have been everybody who clung so dearly for life atop the dragon before it was convinced to land have a chat. The dragon, who’s name nobody recalls, remarked to both Baygeord and Indra that “we

As our heroes licked their wounds, grieved their loss, and explored they came across a red Dragonborn, Amoa and several kobolds with silver daggers and spears.  Amoa was not the friendliest of Dragonborn and ordered the kobolds and his ‘dragon-creature’ pet to attack. Surprisingly, our heroes slaye

When this journey begun, I did not expect it to go the way it has. I was expecting to interview, analyse, record, and report back all that had happened with the establishment of the town of Ashtown. I did not expect to become a major player in this town’s creation, development or even its protection
