Meet Maglia, a contact in the local Assassins' Guild, and are told Min has become a free agent with a hideout far to the north.

Joshua(R-5) joins as a local guide, and Party leaves Curaig.

A gang of 11 Trolls attack in the mountains; Party barely works up a sweat in defeating them.

About a hundred bandits try to hold the Party up later in the day, but end up as mere target practice.

A mixed band of Verbeeg and Ogres attack along the road, achieving nothing.

Felemid and Donnamira reveal their presence to the whole Party sometime around now.

Stop for the night in a small cottage far away from anywhere; cottage dwellers Meg and Roy turn out to be Vampires and are exposed by Miriel's Detect Evil.  Both flee down a hidden tunnel before Party can react, and the tunnel collapses behind them; Party somehow then figures out their goal lies through that tunnel.

Monach polymorphs himself into an Umber Hulk and digs out the tunnel, but a major ambush awaits at the other end once the Party gets through:
 o Meg, Roy, and a band of Verbeeg and Giants attack without warning;
 o Jack charms one of the Verbeeg but cannot talk to it, so it keeps on fighting;
 o Jack in turn becomes charmed to one of the Vampires but fortunately for the Party is told to do nothing;
 o A couple of passing Blue Dragons join the fun, making it a 3-way combat;
 o Donnamira and Sh'kaira killed; Party wins, but gets clobbered in the process.

A short while later, Aldea in fox form stumbles onto a well-hidden Dwarf who is busy watching proceedings; it tries to flee but gets caught and - after Party determines it to be very evil - slain.

4 Medusae wander into the Party's camp that night; Felemid, Monach, Judah, and Aldea take care of them without problem.

Party carries on along what is a clearly-defined trail beyond the tunnel; eventually reach a structure of some sort with a huge pair of doors.

An Iron Golem attacks once Party gets through doors; somehow, Asha gains control of it and stops it.

A couple of stone columns animate and attack; Asha stops those too.

Party tries to make camp in this odd building but assorted undead keep interrupting; when Judah loses a level to a Wraith, Miriel's patience runs out once more, and she throws another Commune only to find out she (and Party) are on the right track.

Trail leads into another structure; Party explores and gets caught in a deadly trap: Kalvin and Monach killed, Judah saved by divine intervention from Tharizdun (at cost of a very expensive sword), and Aldea separated from Party.

Party retreats and sacks out, Aldea carries on by herself. [see below]

Those who plane-shifted are attacked by bandits but easily prevail.

Joshua retires, having taken the Party as far as he's willing to go.

Aldea continues along trail, by now an underground passage half the time as it cuts through mountains.

Attacked by Shinsaxxatan the Blue Dragon while crossing a bridge; Aldea forced to flee back into tunnel (where Dragon will not fit) once again badly hurt.

Having spent a week trying to sneak past Shinsaxxatan with no result, Aldea finally decides to fight the beast, and begins hit-and-run forays against him.

By now, she has also figured out where magic will work (underground) and won't work (on the surface).

Shinsaxxatan killed in a huge upset; Aldea spends the rest of the day in bird form searching for his lair, and feels rather ill on returning to the tunnel.

By now aware (via psyonics) the Party is returning, Aldea heads back to the elevator building.

Now reunited, Party re-enters elevator building from the top and wades through it, finding all sorts of undead a few at a time.

Asha loses a level to a Wight.

For some reason, Felemid somehow performs an exorcism on something.

Meet a band of 12 Hill Giants just outside the building while preparing to leave; for a rarity, the Party doesn't attack, and Felemid and Monach open discussions with them.  They are a family, simply travelling from one place to another; after sharing breakfast, the Giants depart in peace.

A group of 3 Mudmen cause the Party a surprising amount of trouble.

An underground part of the trail branches out into a built complex of halls and rooms at one point; Felemid goes exploring, and finds himself in a room that turns out to be its own miniature world - he shrinks to suit, has a look around, and returns to Party no worse for wear.

The whole Party wants a look, so back they go; somehow half the Party gets "slowed", but everyone soon recovers except Havelock.

After returning to normal size, Party explores rest of complex (bashing a few undead on the way), then leaves with a new toy: a laser cannon!

Outside again, Donnamira scouting in eagle form finds a battle going on between Giants and some unknown opponents; Party tries to avoid this, and does - for a while.

Party runs into a dozen or more Drow; these had been the Giants' opponents earlier.  Major brawl ensues; Monach and Aldea killed almost before the battle starts.  (though the Party never knew it, these Drow had been sent here by Llolth specifically to find Party and prevent them from reaching their goal; that they first ran into the Giants was a stroke of luck for the Party, as it weakened the Drow to the point where the Party could handle them)

Retreat to some nearby caves to rest.

Another battle with Giants pretty much ends that threat.

A small group of very lost Hobgoblins come across the Party; one seems decent enough to keep, so Zad(F-6) joins.

Trail leads into a large underground complex with lots of mostly-Human occupants; Party quickly gets itself involved in some sort of civil war among these people, and are briefly thrown in jail.

For some reason, Asha decides to go wandering across a rocky plain; she falls through a thin shell into a cave below, and is slain by a pair of Ghouls before anyone can reach her: Asha killed.

Kalvin, Thorn, and Felemid figure out how to operate the laser cannon.

Finally reach what is assumed to be Min's hideout; a stockaded village in the middle of nowhere.

Brief discussion with Treguna, a Min lieutenant, soon goes wrong; Party comes under ballista and trebuchet fire from stockade.

More discussion - Party actually manages to talk their way inside the stockade - until Jack runs out of patience and fireballs the neighbourhood, starting a huge battle:
 o Darth-Kull killed either by initial fireball or immediate enemy response;
 o Party get lured deeper into the complex; underground, magic works much better, and Min uses this to great advantage;
 o Felemid fumbles 4 times and runs himself out of weapons; ends up fighting with his fists;
 o Min slain but at great cost: Havelock, Sh'kaira, Miriel, Steng, Donnamira, and Zad all killed;
 o Sh'kaira's death is one for the ages: knowing she is about to die, she charges the main enemy concentration and ties up their entire front line long enough for the Party to turn the tide;
 o Dee, an underling of Min, grabs his body, along with Donnamira's, and flees;
 o A spell failure turns Felemid bald.
DM's note: this battle (above) took at least 3 sessions to play.

Sporadic fighting continues all night; Thorn killed in one of the last skirmishes. (by now WrC-7/MU-6)

The Party, now consisting only of Judah, Jack, Kalvin, and Felemid, retreat back to their friend the prince, and hide in his realm.

Sh'kaira and Miriel raised here by the locals.

A deal is struck: Min gets the Party's treasury (now up to about 300,000 g.p.!) and Judah's and Felemid's shares of the 7-DHC; the Party gets Felemid, Donnamira, and the Book of Gant.  Min keeps Jack, however.

This deal done, the Party leaves - and behind them the stockade explodes into battle again as Deirdre and Balin attack it out of the blue.

Once the Book is in their hands, Party teleports to Turaig.

Kalvin, Havelock, and Miriel take a cart from Turaig and head back to Meg and Roy's, to recover a large stash of treasure buried near there.

Everyone else hires a stagecoach and starts heading southeast.

Sometime around now, Lisse gets captured from Erelond by Min's agents, and winds up with Jack in a dark dungeon cell far to the south.

Stagecoach pulls into Erelond with a 20-man honour guard; Penthesileah here waiting for them.

Meanwhile, Monach has made it to Kerratrim and somehow manages to get captured there by slavers.

Kalvin, Havelock, and Miriel finally make it to Erelond with the treasure.

Judah, Felemid, and Donnamira find Lisse in Widdershyn.

Monach arrives in Bryll, not by his own choice.

Monach sold into slavery.

Sh'kaira, Steng, and 10 soldiers arrive at Widdershyn to escort Lisse back to Erelond.

Jack released in Blackhampton; takes a few days to recover his wits.

Lisse, Havelock, and Steng arrive at Erelond.

Bandits defeated after a 3-day running battle.

Felemid, having commisioned the construction of a series of magic devices, meets Sh'kaira in Terrance.

Lisse and Steng arrive at Driessa after taking the long way to get there; begin research.

Havelock arrives in Erelond.

Three-Tree group meet Que'feredhry the Gray Elf on Sernitol and explain the situation.

Felemid and Balin go to Ballydoon, for some reason.

Morton arrives in Erelond, takes Jack as far as Widdershyn. (and Valanyr goes into hiding!)

Lisse arrives at Sernitol by herself; Steng has gone to Erelond.

Que'feredhry, after much behind-the-scenes work, produces the baby and gives him back to Lisse.

Enter a large cold swamp north of Turaig; battle a 10-headed Hydra.

During this battle, Aldea notices someone is shadowing the Party but does nothing about it, and doesn't tell anyone; this would prove costly later.

A huge skeletal snake (Bone Naga) is next to fall, then 2 Demons arrive and attack; Felemid feebleminded.

Miriel plane-shifts to Rillifane's plane, gets Felemid restored, and returns; joins Party at edge of city ruins.

Another Bone Naga tries to interfere, along with other local wildlife; these battles warn Party that magic is even less reliable here than usual.

Meanwhile, Sevinal has been shadowing the Party (this the person Aldea noticed earlier) and at this point she strikes, charming Felemid and turning him against the Party:
 o Felemid sneaks off, ostensibly to scout, and picks off Party members one by one as they explore the city; his tactic is to call a particular character over to point out something he's found, then attack without warning;
 o Jack killed; then Aldea killed; Donnamira stumbles on to this fight in progress, so Donnamira killed;
 o Party finally realize something fishy is going on and turns against Felemid; Steng killed in the resulting battle, and Felemid otherwise winning(!);
 o Attracted by the fighting, a band of flying snakes and some sort of mutant Giant arrive and join in the fun;
 o Felemid forced to fight the new arrivals instead of Party, Party glad of the break;
 o Creatures don't last long; Felemid resumes stalking Party;
 o Sevinal swoops in on her broom and takes out Felemid in a surprise attack: Felemid killed, and Sevinal(MU-8) joins in the guise of a saviour!

Not long after the dust settles from this, a band of Drow show up and attack; by the time this battle is won, the total Party hit points add to 30, with no curing left.

Quetzaltoc(F-6/I-6) joins, a rescued prisoner of the Drow???

Steng, Jack, and Felemid all raised by Miriel.  Donnamira raised, somehow, as well.

A Purple Worm attacks from beneath Party but doesn't last very long.

The Party finally meets something they cannot defeat: a 186-hit-point Demon sends the Party fleeing for its life, but not before somehow stealing the souls of both Felemid and Sevinal while leaving their bodies alive.

Sevinal's body left behind; big debate as to whether to rescue her, ends when Judah, Sh'kaira, and Steng mount a late-night rescue mission and bring her body back.

Somewhere around here, Judah discovers he is psyonic, probably due to something he is carrying.

Party spends the day holed up in a building for some reason, wiping out minor irritants.

Aldea raised by Miriel, realizes she is about 50 years older than she should be.

Party finds a Human who has somehow got stuck here; not so easy to find out her story as she is mute, but Party takes her in: Jyak'ta(I-13) joins.

Miriel plane-shifts Party to a dry, dusty half-ruined city; they begin exploring.

A dozen Fire Demons are the only sign of "life", and the Party easily takes care of that.

One building shows a few signs of habitation; Party explores and finds a half-insane Human sitting next to a bed, on which lies the body of another.

Judah recognizes both: the insane one is Drustan(F-5), not seen since Penthesileah's wedding just after Spire in the Icefield, and the dead one is Bitch; Bitch killed somewhere along the line, but Drustan is convinced she is "just sleeping".

Long attempts to find out from Drustan what happened lead nowhere; Party eventually realizes Bitch is lying on an amulet, and Judah recognizes it as an Amulet of the Planes found by the Party years ago.

Meanwhile, Steng and Sh'kaira are patrolling the city; they stumble across first Felemid, then Sevinal, both wandering aimlessly, and bring them back to the Party.

Drustan has by now told Party enough for them to realize he's been here for years.

Patrols start finding evidence of yet more life in the city, but cannot find anything actually alive.

Miriel realizes her plane-shifts aren't very reliable here; tries anyway, and winds up on the Elven home plane of Greenworld.  Several spells later, the whole Party is there.

Sometime around now, Drustan finally accepts that Bitch is dead, instead of asleep.

Miriel, Aldea, Felemid, and Jyak'ta plane-shift to Gaia for some reason; Jyak'ta retires and stays there when the others return to Telenet.

Sometime around now, Ur-Khor retires.

Most of Party arrive in Erelond, and Kalvin(Cvr-8:P-7) rejoins.

Steng buys a pub in Erelond; Party members (or ex-members) now own just about every pub in town!

A couple of Mind Flayers and assorted "friends" make life difficult.

Donnamira gets captured by Arctic Elves; Aldea follows, in fox form.

One renegade Elf attacks Party with a large number of Ogres as backup; Sevinal fireballs most, Party mops up the rest.

Arrive Myth Drannor.

Miriel loses a level against vampiric spiders.

Party finds a wandering Gnome and takes him in; Gnifferin Haraldson(B-6) joins, and almost immediately changes his name to Tomte.

Another adventuring party is seen exploring town and "encouraged" to leave.

Party attracts the attention of an extremely powerful Feng Dragon, spend the day absorbing its hit-and-run attacks, in between dealing with other opponents.

A mad Hobbit also starts becoming a nuisance; Party can't figure out why other city occupants leave him alone, and (erroneously) begin to think he runs the place.

After about 8 encounters with it, the Feng Dragon is finally defeated.

First encounter with a very powerful and nasty individual called Daern; Party thinks they kill him.

A band of a couple of dozen Trolls pass on the street beneath the Party's upper-floor hideaway; when they begin investigating the same manhole the Party is trying to reach they get blown away by Party's fireballs, except one who actually climbs into the hole for cover and ends up ultimately causing a great deal of difficulty to the enemy below.

A group of very tough Ogres, attracted by the commotion, attack and are slain.

Somehow, Aldea loses a point of Dex. during all this.

Second go-round with Daern (much to Party's surprise); he announces his arrival by hitting Party with a Chain Lightning, but again gets killed - or so they think.

Party finally goes down the manhole, and meets a bizarre creature called a Behir; considerably weakened by the one Troll that had climbed down here days ago but could not then get out, this thing was easy pickings for the Party.

Daern shows up yet again, as well as the mad Hobbit; Sh'kaira killed, and Steng somehow loses a level.

Party returns to Myth Drannor and are almost immediately confronted by Daern (again!) along with a number of Vampires and Wraiths:
 o Daern lures Party into a castle, where the undead can function;
 o Judah generates darkness over the entire combat, then flies into the middle of the Wraiths; amazingly, he only loses one level - even more amazingly, he had just bumped, so he essentially remains at A-9;
 o Everyone else stays clear, and mop up with fireballs once Judah gets out;
 o Daern flees while Party spend hours dealing with small bands of leftover Wraiths.

Trying to track the Wraiths back to their source, Party loses Miriel (paralyzed) and Sevinal (captured) to traps.

Trail ends in a room containing a Lich and 2 Vampires; Party takes these out with ease.

Perhaps overconfident, Party fights 4 more Vampires and loses 12 levels!  (Judah to A-3, Sh'kaira to F-7, Thalira to R-6/T-6, Donnamira to NtC-6)

Party at last tracks down Daern, and kills him - this time for good - while amassing a huge hoard of treasure in the process; Sevinal killed while in captivity, and Party find her corpse here as well.

Sh'kaira somehow gets separated from Party and almost dies before someone finds her hours later.

Meanwhile, Aldea and Quetzaltoc take out 3 Wraiths on their own; not to be outdone, Kalvin and Donnamira take out 4 shortly after.

Sevinal raised by Miriel.

Most of Party teleports out, leaving only Miriel, Kalvin, Aldea, Quetzaltoc, and Tomte in Myth Drannor.

Somehow, lots of people get lots of levels restored - wish?

Miriel plane-shifts to Driessa with a stone rat.

Quetzaltoc casts Find Familiar in Myth Drannor; it works, and he gets a mutant hawk.

Far to the south, Monach(MU-7/I-7) joins.

Miriel goes south and picks up Aldea, Monach, and Steng; Thalira leaves for training.

Somehow, Sh'kaira ends up on the wrong world; neither she nor Party have a clue where she is.

Several pieces of the required armour are found with little problem; Kalvin puts it all together and tries it on, and soon figures out some of the many powers it has.

Party enters a building, pulled by the armour Kalvin is now wearing, and descends via elevator to a level far below; a gang of Demons await but are soon taken care of, though Jack and Miriel killed in the process.

Elevator disappears; Party finds a statue of Loki while exploring large cave complex.

One by one, characters enter a spiral maze and find themselves compelled to enter; it becomes a slide, and teleports them to a small room with 2 exits; on the back wall is a riddle:

By each exit is a small shelf; placing a magic item on one opens a passage for that character, thus each has a choice to make.

Sh'kaira, Tomte, Monach, Donnamira(now NtC-9) and Steng all killed by going the wrong way and walking into Loki's realm with no immediate way of returning; somehow, Tomte gains a level along the way.

Rest of Party go the right way, find the Druid's Egg almost immediately, but lose over a year in time before returning to the surface.

Characters appear in a small cottage without any equipment and having no idea where they are.

Some of them recognize each other; introductions all round, and mass scrounging of equipment from what is hanging on the walls.

Ancelyn (of all people!) figures out that the phrases running through everyone's head, when put together, add up to the goal of the mission.

Party sets off along a well-marked path; little of note except a few bizarre things (longboat, semi-trailer) half-buried in the hilltops.  Party spends some time investigating these, but come up empty.

Pass by a pub; sack out here.

Party gets back to pub and have a beer; while drinking, the pub becomes an empty room.

Leaving pub finds Party in an underground complex with a constant rumbling in the distance; soon find a room with an old man, who takes the statue and sends the characters back to wherever they came from.

Judah somehow contacts someone (Sh'kaira?) on Sernitol; learns of world events, and Party teleports to Sernitol posthaste.

Felemid awaits them here, along with Sh'kaira and Steng - and Min(!), who also opposes the Drow.

A council of high-level people has formed including Deirdre, Setem, Morton and others; and these people (with much divine guidance) have decided what must be done with the Druid's Egg, and in a major meeting they ask the Party to take it to a desloate place called Cipemet, find there a deep crater in the ground, and throw the Druid's Egg into it.

Party agrees, not yet knowing what this would mean to them or the world.

Explore a huge underground complex, but find nothing except a few minor undead.

Finally arrive at a room with light; meet "The Recorder", who has been here since the dawn of time recording the history of the world.

Recorder introduces a guide to the Party: Cybal(NrC-8) joins, having been here a few days finding out what must be done, and where.

Led by Cybal, the Party makes their way to the surface, find themselves in a ruined city remarkably similar to the one on Greyworld, though certainly not the same.

A powerful group of Drow (along with a Drider) attack; Party wins, but realizes these attacks could become more frequent if they don't move fast.

A group of riders appear in the distance behind the Party; Party now runs northward flat-out, knowing they are in a race they must win.

Riders close in as Party dashes the last few yards to the crater's edge; inexplicably, the riders then rise and thunder by above the Party's heads and keep going into the distance.

Mimosa appears, with Tabatha; spends a few hours explaining all kinds of things to the characters, and tells them what effects throwing the Egg into the crater will have - and asks where the characters would like to go to spend the rest of their lives.

Mimosa is clearly using nearly all of Her power just to remain here.

Cybal takes the Egg and tries to jump into the crater with it; Mimosa brings her back.

Kalvin then throws the Egg into the crater; Mimosa immediately teleports everyone to where they wanted to go, as a devastating explosion behind them effectively ends magic on Telenet.
