Mara: Sure, you may be verified on Twitter. But are you verified... In the eyes of Psilofyr?

Is it a bad sign that I've had two cats die in two different DnD games?

Chapter One: The Adventure Begins, Part Seven

Date of meet: June 23, 2017 Players: Eric, Bre, Brett, Emmy, Julia, Melissa Days in game: 29-30 of Harvestmoon The group goes to Gestal's home and asks for food in exchange for services. They eat a simple meal together and Gestal asks for help in dealing with the gnolls. The group agrees to help. He offers for everyone to stay at his home for the night. Seren takes the guest house and goes snooping in the middle of the night. While she is snooping, gnolls attack! She gets shot by one of the gnoll hunters, hides behind a tree, and the horses begin to get agitated, waking the rest of the party and Gestal. One of the horses is shot down and killed. Riley decapitates a gnoll in one hit with her massive greataxe. The battle continues and a gnoll flesh gnawer knocks out Orel, who jumped over the wall and the gnolls with his winged boots. Silas heals Orel with Healing Word after Riley kills the gnoll' Pack Lord. The rest of the gnolls near the house start to flee. Seren and the flesh gnawer that targets her chase each other around a tree. Rhogar tries to help and ends up stealing her kill. They finish off the last of the gnolls as it tries to escape. Gestal thanks them profusely, heals them, and restores their spell slots. Riley and Rhogar advance to 4th level! They go to the pocket dimension and consult the Miraculum for their gifts. Riley gets an item called the Die of Chance and Rhogar receives a Deck of Illusions. The players vote that Riley gets inspiration from this meet for taking down majority of their enemies.

World Information Time!

So it’s been awhile since I posted about my notebook. This is part of the “Campaign Calendar” section.

For the calendar section, I have pages 1-3 filled with information about the calendar itself.

Kallende culture values 7 as a powerful number, and each year, or Cycle, contains seven months, each with seven weeks of seven days. The months, in order, are Dawntide, Lightmoon, Latesun, Sundark, Harvestmoon, Dusktide, and Longdusk.

The start of a Cycle is also the start of the season of spring. Spring lasts through Dawntide until nearly the end of Lightmoon.

Summer begins towards the end of Lightmoon and finishes halfway through Sundark.

Autumn begins in the middle of Sundark and finishes in the start of Dusktide.

Winter begins in Dusktide and lasts through the end of Longdusk.

Also listed are Major Holidays on the calendar. The calendar also features smaller holidays such as deity feast days and birthdays of each current Circle member.

The remainder of the pages contain the actual calendar pages for the campaign. Since our campaign started in Harvestmoon, that is the first calendar page.

On each day, I have a brief note of where the party was or a significant event they performed. On the off chance that the campaign lasts more than a year in game, I’ll print out extra copies of the calendar and tape them over the current ones but allow for the top to flip back so I can see the past calendar.

I’ll try and get more posts up about Kallende and my notebook, but until then, happy gaming! As always, feel free to message me with questions/comments/etc.

Orel wakes up early, the most morning person of all morning people. After discussing, the group decides to go to Duern and see what they can do up help. Before leaving, the group decides to go to a jeweler’s, seeing if they can sell their wyrmling scales for a little gold. Silas and Rhogar manage to decieve Elgor the shopkeeper that the scales came from a massive dragon and sell their scales for 250gp each. Orel & Riley follow suit. They go to Duern and everyone except Orel stops by the traveling fortuneteller to get their fortunes told. Riley: “I see… Trouble with someone you are close to. Trouble with someone who is far away. There is a darkness in the light.” Silas: “I am sorry for what has happened and I’m sorry for what will happen. The one you seek, you shall find.” Rhogar: “You need not worry about the past, though it weighs heavily on your future. The words are not all they seem.” Orel and Silas sit in on a worship session at the Church of Moradin and for 2 months have advantage on all religion checks relating to dwarves. Rhogar accidentally tells a traveling merchant about the gnoll attacks. After seeing some dwarves enter town, bruised and bloody, the group goes to the variety store in town to get some answers. The shopkeeper, Vaargun, says that they try not to advertise the attacks and that they’ve been having some difficulty keeping the gnolls away since the leader, Gestal, hasn’t been doing much leading since​ his uncle, Illya Rockguard, died a few days ago. The group gets nervous because they were the ones who killed him, but Vaargun says that most think it was just a freak accident involving Illya’s strange creatures. The group decides that they will meet with Gestal and see what they can do.
