Distances and Logistics, Loose Dragon Ends, A Dream of Dark Waters

Session Notes 2/13

Chris/Or'Tree was out this week per his normal schedule. Mark/Erol couldn't make it due to final moving stuff. After debating running a board game the party decided to go on with the campaign anyway. Rather than carrying on into more unknown territories, they decided to wrap up some old business and clear out the Deepspawn and dragon area. 

I was somewhat tempted to scale up the Deepspawn to a challenging level as he was a possible encounter quite a while ago, but I think that invalidates any sense of world coherence/party planning. Fortunately, the encounter with Fandruzuch the shadow dragon was a lot of fun and at just the right challenge mark as it turned out.

 DM Notes

On your first night arriving back in Meowswitch (day 118) you all settle down to rest and share an ominous dream. You open your eyes to pure blackness and hear the gentle slosh of water on an unseen shore. An annoying droning reverberates through your head, growing steadily stronger as you grope blindly forward. Sharp rocks and shells cut your bare feet to shreds as you press on against your will. Three enormous, red eyes slowly open ahead of you, one on top of the other in a strange formation. You stumble from the shore into the cold, still waters and slip quietly beneath the surface. You awaken significantly disturbed and you're unsure if the sweat your body is coated with isn't just the slightest bit...thicker than usual.

Next week we welcome a new player to the campaign!
