The next game is NEVER!!! HAHHHAAAAAA
Well it's been almost 5 years in the doing but we've finally completed the campaign without a single TPK (Total Party Kill) Whooooo!!! Thanks for keeping with us and reading my terrible updates. We're currently discussing our next adventure but alas I shalt be recording it. As a new dad of just over a year has taught me I don't have the spare time to keep up the blogging.
All the best on your future adventures.

After a break we'll be back to gaming in the next month, so I have amended the last three posts and included a lot of exposition for players to familiarise themselves with what the heck happened last session and remind them of what's coming up.
Luke - 30th June 2018
The players are just finishing up the fifth adventure and will be starting on the final part next session so am updating quests and NPC info accordingly. Will also add a dream interlude section (inspired by Paizo posts) to the blog which will be added to between sessions; if the players don't notice, well, you can't always remember a dream once you wake up...
Luke - 14th January 2018
Can't believe I haven't posted in the News section for almost a year! yikes!! Well the blog is up to date from our December session. Happy New year and all that malarkey.
Dave - 31st December 2017
Dave has updated the blog and I have updated the 'Missions' page; I also aim to update the 'People of Interest' page within the next day or so.
Luke - 3rd November 2017
Have made some slight amendments to the last slew of gaming entries to give more background and explanations regarding certain events.
PPS. Interesting rules clarification, whilst stat penalties caused by spells do not stack (such as those caused by Ray of Enfeeblement) stat damage and stat drain caused by spells do stack (such as Chill Touch)
Luke - 17th June 2017
Interesting rules clarification, did you know that a character with multiple attacks can instead make multiple sunder attempts (not just one) and can make a sunder attempt instead of a regular attack for an Attack of Opportunity?
Luke - 30th May 2017
Happy New year all!! Updates are going up now and as soon as I can type the rest, I've also got some map updates to do as well.
Dave - 8th January 2017

Some notes derived from kingdom building between Year 4-14 which could be incorporated into future blogs:
After the events of the Fellnight Realm in Year 4-December, both a monument was and a graveyard were established at the Elven/Fey ruins where the portal opened. Due to the high number of slain soldiers in the war a couple of other graveyards were built in Dragonmere's settlements. Unfortunately a powerful necromancer capitalised on the number of slain, the demoralised public, the reduced army size and fatigue of the council members. This resulted in several hordes of undead plaguing the region. The council were able to put down the undead with help from the Church of Pharasma and stopped the necromancer's schemes, but they weren't able to put an end to the perpetrator who fled from their lands.
In Year 5, After the Fellnight wards and the Necromancer threat, several council members had to retire from their positions and were replaced with newer hardier folk to help support Duke Otto.
In Year 7, Emerald City was built up to be a thriving small city with various forms of entertainment (Menagerie, Theatre, Arena, Black Market) with some support from several aristocratic families who moved into the city.
In Year 9, To reassure a lot of worried public and fey citizens who were concerned over the aggressive expansion of farmland in the grass and hill sections of Dragonmere, Duke Otto decreed that large swathes of the Narlmarches forest would become forest reserves to protect the heritage, traditions and homes of various folk, flora and fauna.
In Year 10, A particularly vile and outspoken troublemaker began convincing the populace that both Otto and Old Beldame were corrupted by evil magic and were turning the nearby forests in enchanted nightmare landscapes the bedevil the minds of citizens and covert with beings from far away planes. Though the schemes of the man were stopped it generated a significant amount of unrest for a good many months to come.
In Year 10, Treasurer Alyanna Varn unveiled expansion plans she had drawn up for her father who ruled neighbouring Varnhold but to no avail (as he liked the smaller more intimate nature of his kingdom). Will support from her fiancée, Vaneer Cankerbond, she adjusted used these ideas and turned it into a grand expansion of Wyvernshore, which was unanimously accepted by the council. The new district who feature a Cathedral, University and several training academies, turning the Capital into a hub of lore, learning and training for the body, mind and soul.
End of Year 10, with the Cathedral to Erastil being the first building to be completed in the new district Alyanna and Vaneer were married within it.
Year 14, the new district is finally complete and the discoveries and knowledge it brings allow the council to implement the most cutting edge improvements to their city (Paved Streets, Magical Streetlamps, Everflowing Springs and vastly superior Sewer Systems).

Added a whole lot of information regarding building kingdoms and various information needed to help the players decide ahead of the next session who to side with and get Build Points from in order to start creating their capital in their newly received kingdom. Will tidy up the Kingdom Buildings section later and add in the various hex improvements. Luke - 2nd September 2015

Have added in the kobold quest and it's rewards (depending on who the PCs side with).
