Sessions
| Session | Saga | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Session 55 | 7th Saga - Winter Warriors | The party’s attempt to rest devolved into cursed hunger, undead experiments, and growing dread as Mordecai spiralled under wild magic and the hunters’ curse was partially unveiled. Dawn brought divine horror: the Korrigan struck Mordecai down, Vaelrith answered Viktor’s prayer, and the road to the Golden Fort grew far darker than expected. |
| Session 54 | 7th Saga - Winter Warriors | The party barely survived a devastating ambush by cursed hunters and a giant, saved only by desperate healing and Chenris’ catastrophic fire magic. Victorious but shaken, they uncovered troubling hints about the Hunter Society and settled into an uneasy camp, aware that greater dangers lie ahead. |
| Session 53 | 7th Saga - Winter Warriors | The party secured Ringo’s guidance and prepared new spells before venturing into the cursed woods, where Halfbie’s confidence was shaken and danger mounted. Their journey was cut short when they were ambushed by undead hunters and a giant, ending the session mid-combat. |
| Session 52 | 7th Saga - Winter Warriors | The party arrived in remote Snowport, where playful chaos turned quickly to horror and danger—from summoned fish, haunted houses, and treacherous hunters to undead ambushers in the woods. With new threats lurking in the blizzard, their northern journey has only just begun. |
| Session 51 | 7th Saga - Winter Warriors | The party prepared for a daring assault on the Golden Fort, securing allies, gathering intelligence, and confronting personal demons along the way. By the session’s end, plans were set, tensions eased, and the Fatebreakers stood ready to begin their boldest operation yet. |
| Session 50 | 6th Saga - Urban Legends | The party met Seraphina in her radiant realm, learning the truth of her detached divinity and the fate of her slain herald. Returning to Blackwall, they planned their next move, only for Halfbie’s nightmarish vision to unsettle them all with a chilling omen. |
| Session 49 | 6th Saga - Urban Legends | The party grappled with the OFC’s fragile finances, turning to the Tome of Unfinished Stories to conjure wealth, only to attract dangerous visitors. Their scheme ended in disaster when Scorch Dustblood defeated them, leaving them wounded and empty-handed. |
| Session 48 | 6th Saga - Urban Legends | The party uncovered the rebels’ ties to Ehobel and the Ashen Cult, barely surviving an explosion that destroyed their base. In the aftermath, Seifer’s grip on Mordecai grew stronger, fracturing trust within the group as they faced the unsettling truth of divine influence. |
| Session 47 | 6th Saga - Urban Legends | The session is still being written by Tom. |
| Session 46 | 5th Saga - Freedom's Flame | The party defeated Malachi in a brutal battle, but Korrigan sacrificed himself to destroy the golden golem, leaving his friends heartbroken as Lorwyn claimed his soul. In the aftermath, the survivors regrouped, met the cleric Viktor, and set their sights on the OFC and the Blackwall. |
Information Revealed Out of Sessions
| § | Information |
|---|---|
| Session 46 | James Absolom later revealed out of session how the Antimagic Field worked. Essentially Malachi Darkthorne † had reengineered The Tower to force all magic in the affect area to go through it rather than just straight from The Realm of Mana to the material plane. He could then hook into the tower and control which spell happened and what didn't. this is also how he was able to hear Mordecai speak while they were turned into gold as he could understand all magical communication happening within the tower's reach. |
| Session 27 | James Absolom later revealed that the harengon is now dead and dragons in the image are The Black Dragon and Niaross † - not The Gold Dragon like what was originally suspected. |
| Session 26 | James Absolom revealed before the session that we had seen the Xekai symbol recently |
| Session 26 | The airship at the start was from the OFC holding OFC ship from The Desert |
| Genevieve † | James Absolom revealed that Genevieve †'s long lifespan was a result of a crystal mentioned to be in her office. He was trying to direct The Party to investigate further but they became fixated on the find her her lover instead. Before he could get them back on track they became incredibly drunk and awoke in Lost Haven. |
| Ashira Yelris † | James Absolom revealed that Ashira died because she gave up the emerald swan amulet when her daughter was born. The amulet was keeping her alive. |

As always, you should talk to James Absolom if you have any ideas or thoughts relating to the campaign. NEVER keep secrets from the DM. This is a collaborative storytelling game, and it only works well if the storyteller knows what's happening. They might even be able to make it happen better than you expected.
† denotes that this character is dead.
‡ denotes that the circumstances around this character's death are strange or unusual.
We have made a point of never officially putting daggers on people unless we are outright told by James or in an official text.
