Session 117-  Wrapping Up in Muntburg, Re-entering Dwimmermount

2/25/2024

  • Geoph is developing some suspicions regarding the Termaxians after 

    talking with Bobila.

  • Bobila decides she must go back to work to relieve young Belgra.

  • “George and Sharon” return to The Broken Twig with Bobila and sit 

    down at the feast table and engage Helgot the Junk Collector in 

    conversation about Dwimmermount.  Bobila buys them 2 bottles of 

    red wine to thank them for healing whatever had afflicted her.

  • Helgot’s rumors as follows:

    • The water in Dwimmermount is toxic.

    • Every door with a lock is also trapped and can only be safely 

      bypassed by someone bearing a special Thulian seal.

    • Dwimmermount was once one of the largest sources of raw 

      azoth in the entire world.

    • An entire brood of dragons nests in Dwimmermount.

    • Anyone who dies within the walls of Dwimmermount can never 

      be restored to life by any means.

  • As “George and Sharon” say their goodbyes to Bobila, she learns they 

    plan to meet Proctor Louys Herint the next morning.  She warns them 

    that he is a racist jerk and that he might give “George” a difficult time 

    (Geoph/George is a gnome).

  • They check into The Green Dragon Inn and set watches; 

    Geoph 1st watch and Shelby 2nd watch.  The night is mostly uneventful, 

    although Geoph hears the inn’s other occupant walk past their door and 

    pause before continuing down the hallway.

  • Waking up early and checking out of the inn, they head over to the 

    Chapel of Tycho and meet Exorcist Emelisse.  She is quite relaxed 

    and welcoming while answering their questions.  She has one 

    Dwimmermount rumor:

    • A secret back entrance leads to the first level.

  • At the Temple of St. George, they meet Proctor Louys Herint, who 

    lives up to his racist and dogmatic reputation.

  • “George and Shelby” thank Corporal Pieru for allowing them to enter 

    Muntburg, and leave the town to go back to the Golden Barge and fill 

    in Team Rams regarding the information they gathered.  Tim and Fecus 

    decide it is time to re-enter Dwimmermount.

  • As Lachada pilots the GB towards Dwimmermount, the GB begins to 

    warn her of a force barrier that might cause the Barge problems if she 

    tries to pass through it.  Tim and Fecus have her find an appropriate 

    spot to park, and take a team on foot the rest of the way to the 

    megadungeon.

  • After entering, Tim casts Wizard Lock on the entrance doors.  The team 

    is directed to pile Room #1 statues in front of the entrance doors.

  • South of the statue of the god Nirval, they encounter a Gelatinous Cube.

  • The kill the Gelatinous Cube and Fecus claims the rusty sword that had 

    been encased within it.

  • Rams enter the Room #56 and Tim casts Wizard Lock on the entrance door.  

    Fecus instructs the team to write taunting and derogatory signs to leave in 

    the room.

  • They use the Termaxian Passkey to call the elevator and everybody gets 

    on the platform.  Up or down?  We’ll all find out next session;-)

Session 116-  Teramaxian Cult Recon in Muntburg

2/18/2024

  • Rams decide to follow up on the Termaxian Cult info that Geoph 

    acquired in the forest north of Oberstdorf.

  • They land the Golden Barge to the west of Muntburg on the other 

    side of a patch of woods.

  • Geoph and Shelby are chosen to enter Muntburg to see if they can 

    make contact with the cultist that frequents The Broken Twig Tavern.

  • At the Main Gate of Muntburg, Geoph and Shelby are asked to give 

    their names and intentions for entering the town.

  • They give the fake names of George and Sharon to Corporal Pieru, 

    and tell him they are religious researchers interested in interviewing 

    the heads of Muntburg’s religious institutions.  Corporal Pieru writes 

    this info down in a notebook and confirms that “George and Sharon” 

    have enough funds to stay overnight, then he lets them into Muntburg.

  • “George and Sharon’s” first stop in town is the Temple of St. George.  

    They meet Brother Symon, an acolyte, whom they make an 

    appointment with to interview Proctor Louys Herinst at 8am the 

    following day.

  • Their next stop is The Broken Twig Tavern.

  • The only information Geoph has about the Termaxian Cultist is her 

    name, Bobila.

  • “George and Sharon” walk past a long feast table where a very drunk 

    woman is the only person sitting at in the rather lively tavern.  As the 

    two pass her, she prophecizes that everyone who enters Dwimmermount 

    will die, then she pukes into a bowl and passes out.

  • “George and Sharon” ask the very young bartender if she knows of a 

    woman named Bobila.  The bartender, Belgra, is actually the younger 

    sister of Bobila, who suffered from violent convulsions and fainted right 

    before her shift as bartender started.  Belgra came in to cover Bobila’s 

    shift.

  • “George and Sharon” ask Belgra if she knows anything about 

    Dwimmermount.  She doesn’t know much, but thinks a customer 

    over by the fireplace named Old Krink might know more.

  • “George and Sharon” buy Old Krink and his cronies a few rounds 

    of drinks and get several Dwimmermount rumors from the grizzled 

    old veteran as follows:

    • Shadowy figures coming and going from Dwimmermount 

      (Termaxian Cultists).

    • An ancient automaton within the dungeon offers aid and 

      healing to adventurers.

    • Machines in the dungeon can imbue bones with magical 

      power.

    • The skeletons with bones made of metal are not undead 

      and cannot be turned.

  • “George and Sharon” offer to look in on Belgra’s sister Bobila and 

    see if they can provide aid (healing) to her.

  • As they leave The Broken Twig, Shelby casts Purify Food & Drink 

    on the spoiled food on the feast table.

  • At the home of Belgra and Bobila, “Sharon” casts Cure Disease on 

    Bobila and she is healed and awakens from her stupor.

  • “George and Sharon” ask Bobila about the Termaxian Cult, but she 

    is a very low level member with little knowledge.  Her only insights 

    are that she wonders if the last ritual she attended made her ill, and 

    that a new ritual will be held in the woods north of Oberstdorf in 2 weeks.

2/11/2024

  • Guibor attacks Fecus after being confronted with the Citizen’s Arrest.

  • Fecus kills Guibor in self-defense.  He is quickly arrested by 

    2 city guards that arrive at the end of the duel.  2 witnesses on the 

    street are requested to accompany Fecus and the guards to go before 

    the magistrate.  Shelby and Gunda follow along to the courthouse.

  • In the Cookie Jar Tavern, Tim casts ESP on Betan and learns the 

    following:

    • Betan is a greedy coward.

      Team Rams missed in their nearly complete exploration of

    Tim follows them to the Talking Goblin Inn, where it appears they 

    are staying while in Oberstdorf.

  • When Fecus goes before the magistrate, he makes his case for the 

    duel with Guibor being lawfully executed.  Gunda and Shelby give 

    their accounts of the situation along with the 2 witnesses.  After weighing 

    all the evidence, the magistrate rules that Guibor was killed by Fecus in 

    self-defense, but she scolds Fecus for dueling in the city limits and 

    charges him a fine of 800 GP.

  • Fecus gives false information regarding his current lodgings.  He tells 

    the magistrate he has been staying at the Dead Fox Tavern & Inn for 

    the last week.

  • Tim reunites with Geoph and is filled in on the duel.  Tim and Fecus 

    arrive at the courthouse as Fecus is paying his fine and leaving with 

    Gunda and Shelby.

    Dead Fox Tavern & Inn.

Session 114-  The Golden Barge Reaches Oberstdorf

2/4/2024

  • The Golden Barge lands to the east of Oberstdorf and goes into 

    Invisible mode.

  • Tim and Fecus arrive at the Tiefenbach Spa during the dinner hour 

    and are first noticed by Ferika.  The remaining Rams excitedly sing 

    “Pump Up the Rams” when their bosses join the dinner party.  

    The re-united team shares stories of what has happened since 

    Tim and Fecus left several weeks ago.

  • Shelby pulls Fecus aside and reports that she thinks the Rams 

    have been followed when moving about in Oberstdorf.

  • The next day Tim, Fecus, Geoph, Shelby, and Gunda go into town 

    early and post up in the area (while Invisible) where Shelby noticed 

    the woman following Team Rams.

  • The woman (Guibor, SPC4) following Rams appears accompanied 

    by 3 men (Betan MU3, Sernays F4, Pariset F4).  They follow this 

    rival party (Heralds of the Silver Dawn) to the street where 

    Jasper the Sage’s shop is located.

  • Betan goes into Jasper’s shop and Tim (still Invisible) follows him 

    inside and eavesdrops on Betan speaking to Jasper about his party’s 

    intention to go back into Dwimmermount as soon as they get a better 

    map and another task (assassination of Shelby) is completed.  

    Betan purchases a Potion of ESP.

  • Gunda casts ESP on Guibor and learns the following info:

    • Guibor thinks the MUs of her own party are annoying fools.

    • She wants to kill Shelby.

    • She thinks Pariset would be better off joining the Termaxian Cult.

  • Betan (and Invisible Tim) leave Jasper’s shop.  The Heralds 

    make their way over to The Cookie Jar Tavern, followed by the 

    Invisible Rams.  Tim remains Invisible and follows the Heralds into 

    the tavern.  Fecus, Geoph, Shelby, and Gunda return to visibility and 

    Fecus goes into the tavern just as Guibor is leaving.

  • Tim eavesdrops on Betan, Pariset, and Sernays as they talk about the 

    following:

    • Guibor must kill Shelby before they can re-enter Dwimmermount.

    • Alina and Nantier (the other members of the Heralds) are trying 

      to acquire a map for levels of Dwimmermount below the 1st.

    • Tim gets the impression that the Heralds went into Dwimmermount 

      after Rams had been within the dungeon.

  • Fecus leaves the tavern to follow Guibor and calls out a citizen’s arrest on 

    her.
