As he often did, Nate directed himself to the temple of St. Orlan immediately upon returning from an adventure. In this case, he had no wealth to tithe, for the expedition yielded nothing but three coins, all of which disappeared into Ollie’s pocket. However, he looked forward to recounting the events to Father Anuak and … “Nate’s Confession”

Session #239 – The Geometry of the Afterlife
Jerker returned from his time at Lah’s Retreat with a purpose. He went directly to Aderian, asking him, “Aderian, I need you to listen carefully. Something has gone very wrong. When we-no I… gave away the bones of Saint Jaludi to that damned Devil I may have drawn a darkness upon myself. Lah believes, and … “Session #239 – The Geometry of the Afterlife”
Ghevont and Sivros
Ghevont’s jaw tightened slightly at the mention of the codex. He did not flare in anger, but neither did he retreat. “No,” he admited quietly. “The Zaphadrin did not teach me that the Anointed One demands blind submission. That suspicion was born long before I met Jehoram.” He exhales slowly. “In the cells, we spoke … “Ghevont and Sivros”
Session #238 – Treasure Under the Sixth Stone
The hunt for werewolves was set aside for a week. Jerker remained at Lah’s Retreat, and Ghevont made his own journey to consult with Lah. Nate took a trip for pleasure up to the mountains, and the doings of the rest of Tienarth’s Raiders was unknown, except for Ollie. The wily dwarf contemplated the two … “Session #238 – Treasure Under the Sixth Stone”
Ghevont’s Questions
Meanwhile, Ghevont went to Lah to talk. He left the city without ceremony. No proclamation, no farewell sermon. Just a quiet departure at dawn, staff in hand, robes travel-stained, eyes distant. The road to Lah’s sanctuary felt longer than he remembered. Each mile gave him space to think, and the thinking gave him no rest. … “Ghevont’s Questions”
Jerker and Lah Discuss the Dream
Jerker had been with Lah for more than a week, prompted by a disturbing dream. He sought explanation, guessing that it had something to do with his abrupt killing of Bremalai. Lah agreed with this conclusion. He explained that when someone is killed violently, especially in the midst of intense emotion, the spirit may remain … “Jerker and Lah Discuss the Dream”
Session #237 – The Great Pillar
Five days were spent in relaxation, mostly at the homestead, with little significant to report. Ghevont casually reported that when he’d been at Lah’s Retreat the previous week, Lah has cured him of the stench of negative energy he’d carried since being touched by a spectre in the Cryptward. The aged cleric required a minimal … “Session #237 – The Great Pillar”
Jerker’s Dream of the Potter
Jerker found his sleep disturbed by frightful dreams, which he kept to himself. In the dream, he opened his eyes—or maybe they were already open—and he found himself standing in this huge, windowless room that feels like the inside of a kiln somebody forgot to turn off centuries ago. The walls were black obsidian, the … “Jerker’s Dream of the Potter”
Session #236 – Snakes Versus Giants
The following day (1/31), Ghevont returned from Lah’s Retreat and was told about clearing werewolves from the ruined prison near Muleshoe. Spotting a raven flying over the homestead’s empty sheep field, he chased after it and casting a spell. He charmed the corvid, then used another spell to speak with it. The bird had not … “Session #236 – Snakes Versus Giants”
Session #235 – The Ruined Prison
It was the 23rd day of the month of the Judge (1/23), and Ollie pulled out the papers from his magical backpack, the ones where he scribbled inscrutable notes about treasures gathered during their adventures. It was time to divide up the loot after many months. The others were eager to get back on the … “Session #235 – The Ruined Prison”
