I'm the best support class ever!

It's been a while since we were last on Faerûn with our new gods. Of course, last time we were thrown back out into the world after some time away in the Night Roads and other shenanigans. Our friends were basically gone, and things were looking rather bleak.

Maybe things can be less bleak going forward, because now we have clerics and paladins and rangers, oh my! Basically, because a bunch of gods have died, it seems we're a bit more powerful and if people choose to BUH-LIEVE then they get their powers back that were previously bestowed upon them by other gods. So that's pretty cool. (GM has also said he'll be using this version of Faerûn next time he runs D&D, which means our characters are going to be the gods of the game! Which sounds awesome.)

Tilverton has been taken over by Lolth and her people, so the plan is to go get our pantheon's capital back, thank you very much. We just need to get there first. By way of creating wolf pups and getting attacked by gnolls.

The green, green flames of home

We finally decided to name our pantheon - the Church of the Green Flame. We fought a fire being, proving that distraction really works - someone distracts it (misses), allowing the next person to successfully hit.

There was an ex follower of Denethor's, who had gone a bit loopy and blinded himself, and he was taken down as well ... as were the five women strapped up about to be sacrificed. They were taken down in a very different way, I should add. Rescued, as opposed to killed.

We ended up seeing Tanith again, the Child of Baal we met ages ago, who turned into some kind of murder ball (murder Baal?) in a very ... distressing way. Oh, and we opened a spa and a Green Flame temple franchise in Saerloon. Yay the B team!

Opening the portal is less epic and poetic than I imagined

Innuendo aside, we went to clean up the abandoned town of Angels. The cleanup was successful. We also found some Shifters who realised that they could open the portal without having to kill people. Soooo ... they opened the portal, avoided activating some very nasty runes, and we went through ...

Scenery was a little less epic than pictured, although we recognised it from visions, dreams and such. Now we just need to find the missing people and get them back through the portal without waking up Nxla ...

Pinhead did it

This week on the Hellstromme Express, half the party defeated some mechanical ants by throwing napalm potions at them and finished them off with vastly overpowered Black Lightning, while the other half of the party finished off a mad scientist and his leg-maiming manservant of a robot.
