As we were doing our usual Godbound business (rebuilding Suzail and so on), a GINORMOUS black dragon flew overhead. The infamous Balefang. A large number of gnolls and other suspicious type critters were trying to dig holes into a mountainside, hoping to uncover the bodies of some gods previously slain, so that they could be resurrected. This wasn't appreciated by Asmodeus, one of the gods who killed said gods originally, hence the dragon.
We may have got involved in the ensuing fight. On the plus side, we didn't actually die and we disrupted the ritual to pull the god into a new body. On the downside ... the chapter ended by us being stranded inside the Night Roads. This is not unlike being stranded inside the Ways, and readers of the Wheel of Time will know what a bad idea THAT is. Even if we happen to basically be Rand, Mat and Perrin ...

Varian: “When I came here I only saw the jars.”
Elani: “Can I kill him now?”
GM: “You see a furnace the size of the galleon.”
Player: “Boat.”
Denethor: “I kneel in front of Oghma, and say—”
Player 1: “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned?”
Player 2: “No, bless YOU, Father, for YOU have sinned.”
Varian: “Then you’re better off going to Thay.”
Player: “Road trip!”
GM: “I made a race of tree people.”
Player: “You only made three people? That’s not much of a race.”
GM: “Hahaha, die.”
GM: “They’re definitely less murderous.”
Player: “Mission accomplished.”
GM: “For now.”
Player: “Mission temporarily accomplished.
“Please don’t use the term ‘warship’, it scares people.”
“Driders? Why would you want to make spider people?”
“I wish the gods would stop leaving their body parts all over the place.”
Player: “It doesn’t help.”
GM: “Perfect.”
Player: “No, I don’t think it is.”
“You have no idea how much Elani approves of this plan. We are using evil to do good.”
Denethor: “It’s one of Asmodeus’s followers gone to join the gnolls.”
Gunda: “That does not reassure me.”
GM: “It was Kelemvor. Kelemvor had no hands.”
Player: “He’s handsfree!”
“I don’t think we’re winning this.”
“Again, that’s reassuring.”
(to GM) “We have to succeed with SOME rolls, you know.”
Player 1: “Maybe they’ve already been killed once this level.”
GM: “Yeah, that’s—”
Player 2: “Wishful thinking?”
“I miss.”
“Well done.”
GM (considering options): “What’s he going to do?”
Player: “Die!”
To be continued at some point! Next time we're trying on a new (for us) roleplaying game, Symbaroum. Stay tuned to see how that works out for us!
