    Hexcrawl 120 - Dangers of the Abbot's House and the Birth of Grandfather Eelism

    Zaza leads VS, Tals, and Eero on a cleanup of the now-chaos-free abbey. Zaza and some Sharpspear Goblins disagree about who's in charge. A mysterious locket causes maternal confusion between Tals and VS. In the Abbots House, VS nearly gets destroyed by a fireplace ooze when the GM rolls 20, 20, 19, 20 for its opening attacks. Tals puts his arm in a dirty bathtub which exposes him to a nasty disease. Eero gets bit on the face by adders under a bed. Eventually they go to retrieve their mules from a nearby site, but on the way back, Tals' Sewer Plague brings him to the brink of death, which means he has to submit, feverishly, to the worship of Grandfather Eel to be healed. VS decides to stay at the site and build it up as a cult lair for Grandfather Eelism.

    Hexcrawl 119 - The Monks of St Clewyd, Part Two

    Tals leads Ibn, Eero, VS, and ZaZa as most of the party decides to go all-in on worshiping Grandfather Eel. They investigate the drowned corpses and recover a silver mace, then meet the Seven Sisters, who agree to turn ZaZa into watery form in exchange for the opportunity to eat "Abbot Tasty-Pasty". Zaza infiltrates the monks' sanctum and opens a path for the party, who negotiate, then coerce, Abbot Lummingwyll. They feed him to the bizarre hydra as promised, then return to deal with "The Charge" - a strange being formed of the union of St. Clewyd and his demonic foe. It vomits acid on them but they eventually overcome it, and cast its body into the Chaos Rift. That breaks the rift, ending most of the weird occurrences at the Abbey (though thankfully Grandfather Eel remains, as does Mr. Rag-n-Bones). Lots of treasure is discovered, and the party begins plans to make off with their loot and/or spread the gospel of Grandfather Eel.

    Hexcrawl 118 - The Monks of St Clewyd, Part One

    After the GM goes on a tirade about historical potash production and we do a live Resources & Teams turn, Eero leads VS, Ibn the Roaster, and Zaza in a continued exploration of the underlevel of the Abbey of St Clewyd. They figure out a tricky door and make contact with the monks inside the western portion of the underlevel, who are split into Cardinite and Loyalist factions and speak of something called "the Charge" that they refuse to let the PCs see. Abbott Lummingwyll convinces them to take a holy mace into the chaos rift to disrupt it. Ibn goes in three times, with different results, and the final time is nearly killed (but saved by the children of Mr Rag&Bone). Eero duels a resurrected monk, and they lower VS down a rope into a well, where he encounters Grandfather Eel, who seeks for worshipers to ascend to godhood. At close of play, the sun has risen on the ruins, but both Ibn and Tals are missing from the party. To be continued!

    Hexcrawl 117 - Phantom Cloisters Undercroft Weirdness

    VS leads Tals, Ibn the Roaster, and ZaZa back to the Phantom Cloisters by the dark of the new moon. They look for Mr Rag-n-Bones and speak to the children, determining that Violet is missing from a noble family. They see the Ghost Crow Trappers and descend to the undercroft level. There, while they investigate some strange vines, a warp worm attacks and swallows Tals whole. He is expelled when the worm is killed but it disappears into another warp. Animated cherubs and a very bad cosmic rift, Ibn and ZaZa temporarily swapping heads, and Zaza's legs turn into grasshopper legs. A room of chattering skulls and fleshy walls is investigated. They briefly battle some undead abbots, and stop at a confluence of strange waters where corpses lie at the bottom of a pool.

    Hexcrawl 116 - Phantom Cloister, Ghost Crows, and Mister Rag-n-Bones

    Zaza leads Ibn the Scorcher, VS, Talsarian, and Eero in a nighttime exploration of the ruined Abbey of St Clewyd, also known as the Phantom Cloisters. They meet some ghost crow trappers, then enter the compound through a side entrance. In the herb garden, they meet a ghostly monk who tells Eero a secret, and in the cloisters, they meet another who wishes his bones to be properly buried - he also has a magic spear that Eero takes and some Devilweed Tabac that Ibn smokes. Exploring the ruined chapel, Tals immediately finds a key and the hidden altar compartment where the Battle Standard of Tempus is stored. Eero plays the organ and releases a murder of Ghost Crows that attack the party. They eventually defeat most of them and harvest a single Ghost Crow Quill for Tals. They discover the graveyard with some corpses missing teeth, and bury the bones of the other monk. They also see a small child there but avoid her, and move over to the bell tower. There, Zaza prays to St Woad of the Bread and decides that he is now the Abbot of St Woad. They encounter two other small children who speak highly of Mr Rag-n-Bones and show the adventurers his strange artworks. Zaza summons Mr Rag-n-Bones by tolling the bell but manages to avoid combat by complimenting his artistic style. Mr Rag-n-Bones tells the players about his past as a servant of the Dewdrop Man and how to find Dewdrop Manse in the heart of the Southwood. Before dawn breaks (possibly trapping them there), the party retreats back into the Southwood and makes their way back to Wildfire Caverns to plan their next move.

    Hexcrawl 115 - Abbey of the Broken Blade and Journey to Phantom Cloister

    The Caravan Crew, led by Ibn the Scorcher and joined by wizard Tals (featuring Judd in his first DnDNerds appearance), visit the Abbey of the Broken Blade, a place for retired soldiers of war-god Tempus. Eero investigates whether Tempus is the god he's been searching for. They deliver some weapons and try to sell some armor, but instead are told some of the story of a mysterious site more than 150 miles to the west - the Phantom Cloister, also known as the Abbey of St. Clewweth, which only appears at night during the new moon. The party sets out to catch it by the next new moon in two weeks - along the way they battle fire beetles (which Tals successfully harvests fire glands from), stop to trade in Llorkh and at Zath Gor (formerly Oleg's Trading Post), and leave the caravan with Bariq at the Wildfire Caverns. They find some excellent hot springs, which ZaZa really enjoys. As the deadline approaches, they hear the unearthly wailing (or perhaps whaling?) associated with the site.

    Hexcrawl 114 - Grave Matters in Llorkh

    In the seedy town of Llorkh, Neville accepts a job to try to steal an ornate sarcophagus from an embalming house run by the Grave Men, a group of smugglers. Flip, Kain, and Lysander accompany him to surveil the place, but first they tangle with a bunch of dancing beggars led by a piper with an unusual head. Once there, Lysander gets drunk on addictive hyacinth wine, then he and Neville infiltrate; but Lysander blows up the front room with Shatter and kills a smuggler, so they flee into the night, pursued by a strange skeleton-man. The following day, they come disguised first as town watch, then later as bounty-hunters with Lysander in tow. While Lysander is in the attic getting harshly questioned by the skeleton man Chakkralka, Flip and Neville find the sarcophagus in the basement and manage to escape with it. Lysander and Kain escape by jumping out a window, and Flip finally gets a wild magic surge while casting Feather Fall on Lysander. Based on the DCC Lankhmar adventure "Grave Matters" by Michael Curtis.

    Hexcrawl 113 - Caravan Journey to Dragonfang Mountain

    VS leads the caravan this session, with Ibin the Scorcher and Eero the goliath monk. They buy some mead, sheep, and pigs in Llorkh, then head eastward out of town towards Dragonfang. They pay off a Zhent patrol, hear about Axebeak Falls from some hunters, battle a troll trying to steal a pig, buy an Axebeak mount for VS to train up, learn the location of the Abbey of the Broken Blade, but end up going to Dragonfang, where they resupply the dwarven party who has been living there over the winter.
