Guys! What a great session! The entire city of Cauldron is becoming your city! I know that in some of my past campaigns we continue to hammer away quest after quest, which gets the characters to higher levels faster but develops less of the campaign world. What a great session, to bad we left it in a battle! More session highlights to come after we complete # 7!

Great gaming guys, thanks for letting me enjoy it!

Versvesh finds the Saphire Spell Gem!!

After a brief stint through the Lost Refuge, the group made their way through a strange type of portal. Upon reaching the other side, they realize they were in a town!? The group immediatley brought Hyu to the large temple on the outskirts of the town. A High Priest of the temple brought Hyu back to life. Hyu’s acts thus far granted him the returned lifeblood as a Saint.

The act of his return cost the group a quest from the high Priest. She asigned them the task of finding some missing children from the local shelter. The children had been missing for a few days and had been taken during the night. Jenna (High Priest) also added to the group her most valiant priest. He was tasked on seeing the group through their tasks and directly reporting success and failure to Jenna.

The investigation continued leading the party beneath a local locksmith shop, into a Gnomish enclave called JAZHADRUNE. it seemed a dark and empty place, as each room had been cleared of contents. The group came to an elevator (after recovering a umber of lettered keys) that led down into the darkness… what do we do with the locksmith’s familiar?
