These days, everything starts in Saltmarsh. Which might be fine if I had an observatory, perhaps just outside of town. We’re remote enough I might get a clear view of the sky. Especially from that old house on the cliff we first explored. In any event, one Albrick sent for our party, The Salted Blades, to his home. A mansion of great wealth, at least in former times. Albrick it seemed, had been a successful merchant with a shipping industry. His ship, the Emperor of the Waves

A few weeks back, when we captured the Sea Ghost, we discovered the passengers, a group of lizardfolk. The town of Saltmarsh didn’t trust them, so put them up in a secure location. I still don’t think that was a good idea, but finally, the council came to us to head out to the lizardfolks’ home and discuss the situation. Penelope and Vantiss scarpered off on some hairbrained quest with the druid we’d met in a bar. Then, as part of this diplomatic mission, the dwarves “tricked

After we returned to Saltmarsh, a stranger enlisted us in a quest that turned into a kidnapping of sorts. It started in the pub with most of us eating dinner. Vantiss communed with nature. Or dead things. Maybe both. A stranger approached in the typical way they do with a job, and even an unknown patron joined in. The next moment, we were whisked away to a set of trials to entertain giant powerful beings. My recollection of what all entailed became fuzzy on our return. Obviou

We’ve returned from the Sunless Citadel, and I think it is telling that I was the only one who couldn’t see in the dark. From my last entry, when we broke camp in a room we’d holed up in, things felt off. Nothing interrupted our rest. No one waited in ambush. Certain members of the party held general impressions or understandings of the complex layout. With no map, they still knew roughly where to go. Which led us to deserted rooms. One held a red dragon statue standing in fr

After years of wizardly planning, everything’s coming together, but first, I needed to reach the toilet paper. I leaned over, careful not to tip over the five-gallon bucket I sat on to reach the roll that fell off the other, upside down one I’d set nearby. Once I’d gotten ahold of it, I checked for scorpions; just dirt and those sticker things. That’s when I heard the vehicle roll up, and car doors open. “Alex! Where are you?” Skit. Crappy timing. I rushed to finish up before

The further we go into the citadel, the less I recognize myself. After spending the night in the tower, we opted to rappel down a rope via the central shaft. A mere eighty feet into the darkness. I lost my grip, fell a ways and managed to catch the rope again. There was no time to catch my breath at the bottom, skeletons, twig blights, and a bug bear greeted us with violence. My contribution to the battle consisted of sending errant blasts of eldritch force that at best kept
