Session 13 - 'Keep Your Eye on the Bhaal'

The Heroes continued with their assault upon the evil Cultists of Bhaal. They encountered a running battle against the Cultist defeating 9 Grimlock Defenders, 3 Grimlock Archers (which is somewhat of an oxymoron based on them being blind), 2 Ferel Grimlock Barbarians, 4 Choakers, and 3 larger and stronger Grimlocks. The Heroes were also awarded for overcoming 2 simple traps and 1 more complex trap involving a rolling stone sphere. Two PCs were absent and NPC'd (minor XP award), one PC was retired to NPC (Dolgun) and replaced with a new PC (Alobron).

Session 12 - Strike Against Evil

Still deep below the Dourstone Mine, the Heroes cleared the Labyrinth of traps and the Myrkulite Cultist. In a huge battle, they killed the 'Faceless One'. One prisoner was captured, a female human Acolyte of Myrkul named Verizotha, and interrogated. The Heroes also encountered another Spawn of Kyuss and Sparrow was nearly infested with one of the worms. Valcrist reported back via a message spell that Kullen was coming down the mine shaft with another wagon load of supplies. The Heroes tricked Kullen with a clever note and then rested for the night. In the morning the heroes headed after the Bhaal Cultist and were faced with an immediate pitched battle deep below in twisting caverns. Extra XP awards for traps, destruction of evil magical items, and adverting the Kullen encounter awarded.

Session 11 - Against Cultist of the Ebon Triad

Deep below the Dourstone Mine the Heroes of the Three Hills Adventuring Company continued to battle against the Cultist of the Ebon Triad. The Heroes discovered that they are faced with a determined enemy prepared to die for their cause; which appears to be to bring back the gods Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul (all previously destroyed during the 'Time of Troubles'). To this end, in this Session, the Heroes pushed on against the Cultist of Myrkul where they battled an elusive enemy known as the 'Faceless One' who is obviously crazy and likes to use magical traps and cryptic cyphers to taunt his adversaries.

During the Session the Heroes defeated many Kenku Rogue Cultists, a Kenku Sorcerer Cultist wielding a Wand of Lightning Bolts, and two Dread Guards. The Heroes were awarded XP awards for the CRs to include a number of magical traps. All the PCs were provided with "Session Only' bonus Quests, only three PCs completed these quests. Additionally, the comedy of the Knock Knock...Knock Knock...Knock Knock...BOOM was worth a bonus RP XP award to all.

Session 10 - Lair of the Evil Cultists

Deep below the Dourstone Mine the Heroes, joined by Hein and Sparrow, continued to battle the "Eviiil" Cultists of Bane. Though a dead god, the Heroes discovered evidence of the Cultists' efforts to bring back the dead god and merge him into an Epic 'Overgod' by merging the essences of Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul and ushering in apocalyptic 'Age of Worms'. The battle below was fierce and the Heroes survived a clever trap in which the Party was meant to be trapped in the Battle Arena of Bane where they could be devoured by worm infested undead creatures resembling rapid moving and powerful zombies. Here the Heroes battled three powerful clerics of Bane and additional human and teifling cultists. Nice Job. Only one player quest was turned in.

Session 09 The Temple Below

The Heroes visited with Allustan and the Garrison. Allustan paid the Heroes a reward and at the Garrison a bounty was paid for an additional group of Bandits. Three 'Party Quests' were turned in and all (including Absent Players) received a 225XP bonus for these 'Party Quests'.

The Three Hills Adventuring Company then ventured deep into the Dourstone mine after visiting with Thorn Hardshield (one of the Foreman at the Dourstone Mine) and the Father of Dolgun. In the Dourstone Mine they discovered a recently constructed elevator that descended down into a an ancient temple area. Here the Heroes battled Teiflings, Skeletons, and Banite Cultists. The Heroes were also attacked by a Large Fiendish Dire Boar that tore into them with its goring tusks at +12 melee (1d8+12 damage).

Hein remained to help Jasper and visit his new love Julie (minor Online XP award, thanks for the email) and Sparrow remained behind to decorate the Adventuring Company Compound and spend some quality time with Sgt Trenton Voss (moderate online XP award and +2 Reputation).
