25 July, 2025 - Ses. 9

• The party met Spike and they joined up for adventuring.
• The party encountered and fought Sybil, a priestess of Orcus hired by someone to kill them. After a hard-fought battle, the party won. This battle took much longer than expected.
• Afterwards, the party entered the Bloodcrest Spire; after rushing into a center chamber, the constructs began to attack the party.
• As of this session, there are two days until the festival/demon invasion.

18 July, 2025 - Ses. 8

• The full party met up and fought Kalimas and his minions. Kalimas escaped, but his minions were defeated.
• Afterwards, the party's short rest was interrupted by an angry ghost attack; after getting further beat up, Hark used Turn the Unholy to force the spirit to flee. The party then retreated to Damon's secret chamber to successfully take a short rest.
• Upon doing so, the party explored the rest of the lair, finding various supplies, as well as a teleportation circle and cape of the mountebank. The party used the teleportation circle to escape the lair without fighting Salamander again.
• The party did some various tasks before going to sleep, such as researching cambions, making poison, identifying the cape, creating more holy water, and explaining the situation to Knight Maximus.
• In the morning, Knight Maximus joined the party to descend into Vyrmas to talk with Father Alvin. They learned of an impending demon invasion in 2 days orchestrated by Damon Vortex. In Vyrmas, the party made sure some soldiers were ready to teleport to the surface in the event of a demonic invasion.
• Father Alvin told the party about a nearby tower with some kind of item capable of increasing the capabilities of the party's blood pendants. While waiting for the day of the invasion, the party decided to set out for the tower to find the item.
• Drangea paid for the Vyrmas blacksmith to upgrade his rapier and crossbow to +1 weapons. They will both be ready in 4 hours.

11 July, 2025 - Ses. 7

• Sebastian descended into the secret passage beneath Vortex's manor and found Salamander revived (along with his new "friend," Jim Ratkiller). They (somewhat reluctantly) fought and Sebastian triumphed.
• Drangea arrived and joined up to explore the lair. The party found demon summoning circles, a fountain of blood, and the mayor's hidden treasure stash. While searching the guardroom, 3 statues came to life and attacked, but were ultimately defeated.
• Sebastian found an old journal and discovered more about the mayor's allies, two cambions named Vassamos and Kalimas. After more exploring, the party solved a puzzle involving books where the initials spelled out "VORTEX."
• Beyond the secret door, the party found Vortex's secret journal about his relations with demons and his plans to take over all of the nearby towns. They also discovered that Father Alvin of Vyrmas has been blackmailing Vortex after discovering these plans.
• The party then met Kalimas. Drangea disguised himself as the mayor and tricked him for a bit into revealing some of their plans, but he was ultimately found out and the party ran. Drangea again tried to trick Kalimas but was not particularly successful and used a mirrored illusion to create a distraction to escape.
• Upon escaping, the party found a mirror which opened a video call to Orcus, the demon prince of undeath. After distracting him by teaching him about SMART goals, the party escaped and are ready to attack Kalimas.

20 June, 2025 - Ses. 6

• Sebastian and Hark were attacked by Lord Asheblade on their way to town, a wraith who wanted revenge for killing Omen Vortex. After easily dispatching of him, the party entered Vyrmas and began exploring.
• They started in the Mushroom Inn and Tavern by talking to locals to learn information about the Fumewoods and Mithral Foundry. The party found the mayor (Rolen Mellowbutter) who asked for help dealing with a nearby threat.
• This threat turned out to be Vassamos, a cambion who previously laid waste to the town of Cindertree and was defeated by the party. The adventurers dealt with him and his minions (although he teleported away before he could be slain again) and were suitably rewarded for their efforts.
• On their way up to the surface, the party picked up some ingredients from the priest (Father Alvin) and rode the elevator back up to the surface. They used said ingredients to re-establish a teleportation circle between Vyrmas and the Blackmount Citadel.
• After testing it with Spine, the characters explored Mayor Vortex's manor and found a secret passage in his office leading somewhere down below...

13 June, 2025 - Ses. 5

• Sebastian and Brook set out trying to find a beautiful object for Violetta. They eventually settled on a painting of Violetta which they stole from the mayor's house.
• On their way to give it to her, they were attacked by a strange bug-person-like creature. They fended it off at which point it escaped. They gave the painting to her in exchange for the stone rod.
• They then attacked Mira and defeated her, but not before she had the door seal broken, preventing the characters from having time to rest.
• The party met and attacked Omen Vortex; Hark entered mid-fight to help out, and Omen was eventually slain.
• The party collected their reward from the mayor and descended into the depths of Lorosfyr. They came upon the town of Vyrmas where the session ended.

At the end of the session, the party completed the requirements to reach Level 6.

6 June, 2025 - Ses. 4

• While half the party (Sebastian and Ru) continued working against the mayor in town, the rest of the party (Brook, Hark, and Robin) entered the Catacombs to find a crimson mist blanketing the floor.
• Not long after, the party entered a chapel where they fought some ghouls as well as a strange zombie dripping with demon's blood. The party defeated them, though the blood corroded Hark's weapon.
• Continuing on, the party fought off some wights and zombies. They attempted to solve a puzzle guarding access to Violetta but were unable to proceed.
• They then went to face off against Mira, a feral vampire spawn. She got beat up badly and mysteriously vanished along with her stone rod.
• The party retreated to town for a bit and bought some ice. They discovered that the crimson mist was a sign of Omen Vortex's growing power; at midnight tonight during the lunar eclipse, he will rise to his full power and break free, destroying the Blackmount Citadel.
• The party re-entered the Catacombs and solved the puzzle, meeting Violetta who offered some "pleasant" tea. She stated that she will give up her stone rod if the party offers her "something beautiful." The session ended with the party leaving to figure out something beautiful as an offering.

30 May, 2025 - Ses. 3

• The session began with the party reuniting in the Catacombs just as Salamander was rejuvenated. After discovering holy water could be used, Hark Vexkull created holy water and, after defeating him for a third time, destroyed Salamander for good.
• The party continued exploring the Catacombs and came across an abandoned tomb where a mummy and two nightsappers attacked; Sebastian was cursed with mummy rot.
• The party then found Knight Maximus and returned him to the Blackmount Citadel. There, he and the party discussed mayor Damon Vortex and what could be done about him.
• The party then set out in search of a cure for mummy rot, discovering that it could be cured using an elixir of sand, cat's tears, and bird spit. After some shennanigans including Hark entertaining an old lady, Sebastian was cured.
• The characters then set out on various tasks to prepare for the Catacombs and dealing with the mayor.

23 May, 2025 - Ses. 2

• The session started with the characters pillaging the cambion's treasure. Upon returning to town, the characters received a Letter of Recognition.
• After a couple days of travel, the characters reached the Blackmount Citadel and explored around. They learned that the mayor is corrupt and being blackmailed by someone after Sebastian snuck into the mayor's house as a cat. Additionally, a golden knight went into the Catacombs recently; they are the strongest voice against the mayor.
• The next day, the characters went into the Forsaken Catacombs in search of a dark presence; defeating it will allow passage into Lorosfyr. However, the characters need to find a special stone rod with dragons carved into the sides in order to break the seal and defeat it.
• The characters found an archive of the dead interred in the Catacombs. They learned about three notable figures: Salamander, a master of Pyromancy and inventor of fireball; Mira, a vampire spawn who was locked away for centuries but recently escaped; and Violetta, the spirit of a female elf who prized beauty above all.
• The characters fought and defeated the remains of Salamander, who took the form of a Flameskull. The characters then finished off the session by taking a short rest.

16 May, 2025 - Ses. 1

• We started off the session with the characters arriving at a small town in need of aid (Crow's Rest). The mayor of the town, May Orrell, discussed a demonic presence settling in the ruins of a nearby town, Cindertree, and asked the characters to deal with it.
• They agreed and set off. After a dangerous ambush by a group of gnolls, the characters arrived at the town where they found a demonic cambion named Vassamos who judged them unworthy and attacked.
• The characters were victorious, although Vassamos managed to escape.
• Sebastian gained the Spear of the Tanar'ri to use as a magic weapon from Vassamos.

9 May, 2025 - Ses. 0

• We took care of character creation and discussed the rules we'll be using. The session was handled online.
