Stonehell B Team: Weird Water

 Session 319 was played on 2/8/26

Sonara, Wizard (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
5 Kobold meatshields (Pibble, VI, Rags, Suv, Zurn)
2 Hobgoblin meatshields (Vorkvul & Gralvar)

Departing the Korners, the party descends to The Reptile House and is immediately set upon by a squad of lizardmen! The fight lasts a little longer than expected with such a large party, but the lizardmen only manage a few lucky scratches before all being cut down. Unfortunately they weren’t wearing much, and didn’t have anything of value on them.

From the Reptile House they cross back over to the Asylum, and head straight for the Water Weird’s fount, and as soon as the door is open Kess casts Purify Water, killing the elemental creature. They retrieve Karl’s collapsible 10’ pole, and down at the bottom of the water are the sparkles of more, but it’s too far down to reach. Sonra uses her bracer and changes into a croc, diving into the water. She fish out some coins and 3 magical crossbow quarrels. She returns to her usual human-ish form and they press on.

Checking the rooms across the hall, they find a forest glen through one door… 

Gains: silver & gold coins, +3 crossbow bolts x3
Kills: lizardmen, water weird
Losses: 

Stonehell B Team: Smells so bad

Session 318 was played on 1/25/26

Sonara, Wizard (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
3 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Pibble, VI)

Continuing their exploration of the former hobgoblin redoubt, the party finds the midden, which seems to be back in use. It smells worse than before… who knew the smell could get worse? As everyone gags, Sonra decides that the best way to deal with the smell is to light a match. A really big match. She sends a mini-fireball into the room. 

Now it smelled like burning troglodyte shit. 

Making use of their new Secret Hut spell, the party climbs in and waits for the flames to die out and the smoke to clear, and hopefully the smell to be less bad. 

Eventually they climb out and continue exploring, heading around the room with the big pits, and down toward a room marked barracks. A pack of troglodyes approach the party from the other end of the hall. One of them casts a web spell on the party, and suddenly things go dark, as a magical darkness follows the web spell. A moment later Sonra throws a fireball in the middle of the troglodytes and yells “go away!”

Once again, burning troglodyte doesn’t smell any better than non-burning troglodyte. 

The sound of one troglodyte running away, screaming in pain can be heard, but not seen. 

Cutting their way free was a very slow process, both because of the darkness, but also the blades kept getting stuck in the webs. After about 10 minutes, iGor starts screaming in pain, yelling about his feet. The darkness makes it all worse, and everyone can feel the thrashing in the webs. It doesn’t take long before someone pulls out a torch and sets the webs alight. Everyone is burned, but free, and Kessaren grabs iGor, and pulls him out of the magical darkness… or what’s left of him. A grey ooze had completely enveloped him, and was now working its way up Kess’ arm. They hack at the ooze, and manage to kill it, or at least kill enough of it that it stops trying to eat Kessaren. 

Scooping up what they can of iGor and putting it in the portable hole, the party makes a run for the stairs and back up to the Korners. The party spends a week recovering, and then hires 3 new kobolds to join them, as well as a pair of hobgoblin warriors. 

Gains: 
Kills: troglodytes, grey ooze
Losses: iGor 

Stonehell: B Team: It Smells Worse

Session 317 was played on 1/19/26

Sonara, Wizard (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
3 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Pibble, VI)

Sonra, managing to keep lunch, uses the wand to cast Fireball on the troglodytes at the end of the hall, and the foul smell of troglodyte is replaced with a new, slightly less bad smell of burned troglodytes. Among them they had several items of jewelry, mostly made of silver and copper. 

Continuing to explore, Glimmer checks a doorway, but triggers a falling portcullis trap, getting himself stabbed by the weighty pointy gate. Adorellen grabs the gate, and holds it up while Glimmer is removed from the pointy bits and given a healing potion. Beyond the portcullis is a decently sized, if empty room. They search around and find a loose flagstone on the floor. After checking for additional traps, they lift it up and find a bag of silver coin within. 

Grabbing the torched troglodyte bodies, they drag them into the room, and Sonra writes a note “take this to Borglope, your life depends on it” along with 15 copper coins, and places it under the loose flagstone. They then leave the room, close the door, and reset the trap. 

Deeper into the level they find some dead kobolds fairly recently butchered and clearly being kept for food, and not too far from the larder, a room that had clearly been set aside as a midden. It was hard to believe that anything could smell worse than troglodytes, but troglodyte shit manages it. 

Gains: silver coins, cheap jewelry
Kills: troglodytes
Losses: 

Stonehell: B Team: Six & Violence

Session 316 was played on 1/11/26

Sonara, Wizard (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
3 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Pibble, VI)

The party takes the stairs down from Kobold Korners to level 2, and are almost immediately caught by 6 giant spiders. Fire arrows prove somewhat ineffective, but molotov cocktails proved explosively effective. The party cuts and burns themselves from the spider's sticky webs and then notice a smell, a foul odor that cuts through the various burning smells that currently dominate the area. 

Exploring further Loahn checks out a side room, and finds himself alone with another pair of giant spiders. There’s some screaming and hacking and slashing, and eventually the rest of the party goes to see what all the noise is about, and then they take care of the spiders.

All the noise does attract some of the local’s attention. The foul smell from earlier has grown stronger, and everyone in the party is feeling at least a little queasy, while some are actively rediscovering their most recent meals. From the far end of the hall, 8 humanoid lizards can be seen. The stench keeps getting worse…

Gains: 
Kills: 8 giant spiders
Losses: lunch

Stonehell B Team: Tough Negotiations

Session 315 was played on 12/29/25

Sonara, Wizard (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
3 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Pibble, VI)

iGor calls for Sonra to fireball the crickets. Sonra asks iGor if it has a spare 150gp to cover the cost of the wand charge. iGor does not, so the party just dodges and ducks their way away from the insects. Circling around in the Contested corridors the party gets yelled at by some goblins. The party yells back. Pibble animates a kobold zombie, and leaves it behind as a present for the goblins.

As they continue their exploration, they see, and are seen by a group of humans of dubious morals. Seeing that they are outnumbered, they toss a bottle of flaming oil between themselves and the party and run for it. 

Later they find some graffiti on the walls, which glimmer insists on “correcting” before they can move on. Meanwhile Lowen triggers a trap that catches Adorellen full in the face just outside Kobold Korners. The kobolds hear the trap going off, and come out to see what’s what, and help Adorellen out of his painful predicament. 

Free of the trap, the party heads into the Korners and immediately needs to deal with the power vacuum. With the fairy queen dead, and Nolti missing, there’s been a scramble for control of the Korners, with the factions coming down between Zixx and Klik. Klik is pro keeping the fey around, though no longer as a ruling class, while Zixx wants the fey to pay restitution and depart the Korners. 

Different power sharing agreements are suggested, but it turns out that these 2 kobolds aren’t just political opponents, they’re siblings, and as much as they dislike the other, neither wants their 3rd sibling to be anywhere near power, and so they settle for allowing the fey to remain, but also needing to pay (mostly the party) for the troubles they caused everyone. 

Stonehell B Team: Blood Sucking Stirges

Session 314 was played on 12/24/25

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: Contested Corridors

Session 313 was played on 12/14/25

Sonara, Wizard (Rob)
Adorellen, Elf (Me)
Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling (Josh)
3 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Pibble, VI)

With Nolti back on his feet and anxious to get back to the Korners, he and Roi join the party. However, not knowing how the kobolds in the Korner will take to having Nolti back is potentially dangerous, so they stick them in a cave in the box canyon and direct them to write 5,000 words on how to deal with the fey in the Korners.

The party leaves them to write and heads into the dungeon, making for the Contested Corridors. The first door they check out is trapped with a fire trap that catches Glimmer. From the other side of the door they hear “No Solicitors" yelled out in goblin. It seemed they meant it, so the party moved on. In the Chamber of the Woods, they encounter a troop of kobolds returning from a mushroom collecting trip from elsewhere in the corridors, and talk to them about the death of the Queen of the Fey. They’re thrilled and promise to spread the word. Notably, the party does not mention Nolti or Roi.

Further into the area they find an old storage room, and hear a giggle. Sonra was ready to drop a fireball, but caught sight of a small kobold kid in the shadows and held off. Glimmer gives the kids lessons, and each gets a caltrop.

Circling through the quadrant they come to a guardpost for another entrance to the Kobold Korners, and apologize for startling the kobolds on duty. Continuing their explorations they find their way up to the caverns, slaying some vermin along the way, and loot a giant rat’s nest.

Gains: coins
Kills: giant rats, giant centipedes

Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
4 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 6)

Karl went off to get drunk, and it was decided that they should retrieve his 10’ pole from the water weird before he notices it’s missing. Returning to the dungeon, they spot some lizardmen in the swamp hunting something. It’s far enough away that everyone basically ignores the other party. They make it to the Gatehouse Inn and find Karl there drinking with the kobolds and a couple of goblins named Gibblit and Giblit. Of course the party joins in and it becomes a party! 

Over the course of the party they hear stories about an albino ape living deep in the dungeon with a pile of treasure to make a dragon jealous, and of a vanguard of orcs looking to gain a foothold in the dungeon.

Session long on role play, short on notes. 
 

Stonehell B Team: Fried Fairies with a side of Mushrooms

Session 311 was played on 11/30/25

Sonara, Wizard (Rob)

Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
4 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 6)
KARL! Dwarf 9 (Julia)

Departing the water weird’s room, the party double checks their map, and decides they’re going to firebomb the portal chamber. Karl passes a Natebalm to Loahn and Adorellen and Sonra prep their fireballs. They head around to the door they think separates them from the portal…. Glimmer throws open the door, and bottles are tossed, spells are cast, and the door is slammed shut behind them. The concussive “woomph” and the smell of flash burned flesh and mushrooms is disturbingly savory. 

The party stands ready for something to come for them through the door… but aside from the sound of something burning, popping, and crumbing, the hall is silent. They crack open the door and look inside. Black thick smoke hot and reeking of burnt flesh billows out. Within the once grand hall lush with fungal growth is now a charred ruin. Small areas still flicker with dying flames. The party steps in and begins to poke around at the larger piles, finding the remains of numerous pixies among the char. Then they begin to hear some rumbling…

The sound comes from the north, and they look out the hall to see what it is. They see rocks of a variety of sizes from as small as a fist to ones as big as beach balls rolling down the hall in their direction. Then they hear the voices all rumbling an overlapping “excuse me” “coming through” “make way” “watch your toes” “on your left” “make a hole” “on your right”

The party wisely hurries away from the crushing rolling of the rocks, and goes out a side corridor to avoid them. After the rocks rumble by they check their map for likely locations for action and treasure when a ringing in the background finally gets loud enough to be noticed… like the tinking of 1,000 needles. Karl’s eyes get very big, and he demands the party leave immediately. They take the fastest route from the dungeon, and head back to Morgana’s.
 

Campaign Milestones: New Notebook!

 As I was getting ready for the latest session of the Stonehell campaign, I grabbed the notebook to start a new page for the night's events... and realized we'd reached the end of the notebook! I was prepared for this and had another notebook handy, but it did give me a chance to mark the occasion with a picture. 

Over 300 sessions, 10+ years, and we're still going strong! 

 I'm looking forward to filling this next one up too. I have no idea how long we'll keep up this campaign... it was only supposed to be a filler after wrapping up a 5e game, but it's become so much more. 

Stonehell B Team: Don't poke the water weird!

Session 310 was played on 11/23/25

Glimmer, Kobold (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric  (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling  (Josh)
4 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 6)

Returning to the Asylum via the Quiet Halls and the Reptile House, they started to make their way toward where they thought the fairy portal might be, but stopped to check out a room that on the map was incomprehensibly annotated, but might have connected to the temple looking room with the descriptive “fairies NOPE” written on it. While the rooms shared a wall, there didn’t appear to be a connecting door. What there was was a cistern. Loahn checks it out, and sees something under the water. Utilizing Karl’s collapsable 10’ pole he pokes around at the bottom of the cistern.

And that’s when the water weird attacked, grabbing the pole from Loahn and dragging it into the water. Loahn was quick enough to let go. Bolts were fired from crossbows, and the creature collapsed. Glimmer eases himself into the room to try to retrieve the pole, but the water weird is less dead than it initially appeared, and it grabbed him and starts to drag the goblin into the water. Sonra drops a fireball (always her first choice), burning the goblin, but freeing him from the weird’s grip. 

Running for his life, Glimmer slams the door shut. They’ll have to come back later to deal with this.

KARL! Dwarf 9 (Julia)

Down the stairs from the Quiet Halls the party reaches the Reptile House and begins to explore the already mapped but cryptically noted area. Quickly reaching the hall to the Asylum, they get curious about what’s up with the fairies down this way, and head in. 

The first doorway they come to reeks of musk. The door is unlocked, not trapped, but thick. No noises escape. Opening the door and looking in, they see nymphs… nude nymphs, cavorting and half the party literally can’t handle the view and goes blind. Sonra drops a fireball into the too small for a fireball room, burning several members of the party, including Karl. 

Karl takes Sonra to task for not yelling “Marshmellow!” before launching the fireball so as to give everyone a chance to dive for cover. Then Karl notes that one of the nymphs was still (barely) alive, and went in to finish the poor thing off. Sadly they were as devoid of treasure as they were of clothing. 

As half the party was now blind, the seeing members lead the blind out of the dungeon and back to the manse, encountering a pair of robber flies on the way who took a chunk of flesh from iGor before being killed.

Back at the manse, the potion was identified as a potion of heroism, and traded to Brother Boris for some cure blindness spells.

KARL! Dwarf 9 (Julia)

Arriving early, the party waits nearby to Edvard’s lair, with Glimmer invisible. They hear the gong sound, and wait 10 minutes. Glimmer sneaks out of the hiding spot, and a minute later the rest of the party begins to shuffle out.

Glimmer looks in and sees Edvard with a blue gowned woman of unnaturally sharp features and icy pale skin with Edvard, the 2 of them lounging on his closed coffin. He looks uncomfortable holding a glass of something red and hot. Glimmer creeps up to them, noting the large ice creature lurking unmoving by the far doorway. And Edvard’s silent skeletons are also standing guard. With a gulp, he lashes out with his dagger, which snags in the queen’s gown, failing to penetrate. Now visible, and noticed by the queen and Edvard, Glimmer runs for the doorway. Sonra and Adorellen toss in mini-fireballs and Karl chucks a Nate Bomb in. The waves of overlapping heat singe the party lurking in the doorway. 

As the black smoke finally clears, the queen, the vampire, the ice monster, and the skeletons all lay silent and unmoving, their bodies scorched, fairy and undead flesh burned down to the bone. The coffin wasn’t in much better shape. 

“Were… uh… were we planning on killing Edvard?” Adorellen asks as they step into the ash covered room.

Everyone looks at everyone else… 

“No, but I can’t say I’m going to lose any sleep over it” Sonra answers, sending the meatshields out into the hall to keep watch. Looting the bodies, and the coffin they make off with thousands of coins, a potion, several scrolls, a wand, a ring, and a fancy belt. 

2 Ghouls decide to check out the noise, and they smack one of the kobolds before Kess sends them to their eternal rest. Most of the party votes to head home, but Karl wants to see more, so they head for level 2!
 

Gains: thousands of coins, a potion, magic bottle, several scrolls, a wand, a ring, and a fancy belt. 
Kills: fairy queen, vampire, ice guardian, pixies, ghouls
Losses:

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

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
Losses:

Glimmer decides to have his fortune read. 

DMs Note: Why did I not write down what the fortune was?!? 

 While that’s going on Sonra erases some of the dragon’s defenses. After Glimmer’s fortune is read, no one else takes the witch up on her offer, and she departs heading East. Glimmer decides to draw on the wall. 

They continue to wait…

And eventually get bored and head back up the stairs and over to visit with Rocky. 

Q1: do you like magic rocks?
A1: No big flavor difference between them that he can taste

Q2 Was that the Witch of the Deep?
A2 Yes

Q3 How do we summon the king of the fey at a time and place of our choosing?

4 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 6)

Adorellen, back at the manse, was studying and working on updating their spellbook in preparation for the next delve, and while they were strongly leaning toward charm person, Sonra, with Morgana’s backing browbeat them into taking sleep instead. It didn’t help when the giant black widow spiders attacked on the causeway through the swamp. Adorellen took 2 bites, and dropped shaking to the rough hewn logs. Sonra used a precious anti-venom potion to save them. 

Investigating under the causeway they found the body of a prior victim wrapped up in their webs. Cutting the body out they found a pair of gems and some silver. 

Heading into the dungeon they made it to the Asylum to wait for the emissary of the queen. While waiting they watch the stick figures, and then they hear someone approaching. A middle aged woman, who calls them out for being so noisy. They talk with her, shocked to see someone wandering alone and apparently unarmed. She tells them that she was visiting with the tooth fairy as they had business. She did not go into what that business was, but gave them general directions on where he could be found. In a lull in the conversation she offered to tell them their fortunes…

Gains: 2 gems and some silver
Kills: giant black widow spiders
Losses: 

Stonehell B Team: Stick figures & Pissed off Pixies

Kessaren, Cleric 3 (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling 3 (Josh)
5 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 4, 6)

The amusement value of ‘living’ stick figures was too much to pass up, and the party had to play with them. First they tried drawing their own, but the figures were attacked and erased by the native stick figures. Sonra then drew a stick figure dragon! The dragon began to rampage across the walls of the room, causing the deaths of many figures as they ran for cover. 

After watching the dragon lay waste to a good chunk of one wall, they head deeper into the Asylum, encountering quickly a group of platemail armored troglins, being harassed by pixies. Sonra and Adorellen Sleep the lot of them. Glimmer collects the pixies to stuff into lanterns, then ties all the bootlaces of the troglins together, picks their pockets, and then the party drags them back to the base of the stairs in the stick figure room. 

Exploring back and forth a bit they come to a room with giant beetles in it, ans decide to take them on. Adorellen and IV take the brunt of the beetle’s attacks, and IV drops.

They barricade themselves into the room and interrogate the pixies they captured. Eventually the pixies agree to take a message to the queen to open negotiations in 4 days. They release the pixie and head back to the stick figure room, and see the dragon has claimed the north wall. The stick figures on the other wall have created various weapons and fortifications to defend themselves. 

Heading out they give the troglins their weapons back. In the swamp they see a group of spectres killing something… they hurry on, knowing the spectres are too strong for them to deal with. 

Gains: 6 pixies
Kills: giant beetles
Losses: kobold meatshield IV

Stonehell B Team: On the way to the Asylum

 Session 301 was played on 9/21/25

Glimmer, Kobold 3 (Lanse)
Kessaren, Cleric 3 (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling 3 (Josh)
6 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Departing Rocky the party makes for the stairs down to level 2A. On the way they’re attacked by waves of undead! What they’re doing out of the Quiet Halls is anyone’s guess, but the initial group of zombies is mostly turned, and the remainder hacked down in some vicious hand to hand combat. Blar, V, and VI drop, but only Blar and VI are able to be revived. 

Behind the 7 zombies were 10 skeletons, but 9 were immediately turned by Kessaren, and the upright kobolds tore the last one to bits. 

Before the stairs down, in the room with the broken statues, a group of Troglins is collecting tolls. The party tries to walk past, but the troglins aren’t having it. A quick combat later and the troglins are laying dead, but healing on the floor. The party takes their weapons (and coins) before they finish healing and regain consciousness.

Down the stairs to the Asylum, they reach the room with the stick figures, all of which stop what they were doing to turn to look at the party… an impressive feat given that none of the figures have faces.   

Gains: 7 troglin weapons, 467sp
Kills: Zombies, Skeletons, Troglins
Losses: kobold meatshield V

Stonehell B Team: A Rocky Road

Kessaren, Cleric 3 (Cindy)
Loahn, Halfling 3 (Josh)
6 Kobold meatshields (iGor, Blar, 3, 4, 5, 6)

While Nolti finished his convalescence they packed up and headed to Stonehell, passing a merchant caravan on the way, but they don't have anything of interest to the party. They head right for Rocky. 

Loahn while chatting with Rocky, decides to drink an experimental alchemical mixture that Morgana had been working on. Things go a little sideways and colors are a little brighter, and there are translucent pink butterflies flapping around. Adorellen is pleased that someone else can finally see them too.
