Winter Sessions

Now it is time to summarize in a nutshell what happened over winter break. The players sailed over to the Isle of Dread. While traveling over there, they were attacked by zombies. The "assholes" that party is going up against left a device on the ships that caused a zombie outbreak. In the end, on of the ships went done and became an Undead Ship. The logic behind it is that the ship was made from living things, and one component of the spell caused the undead to merge together. Instead of beating the ship, they managed to send the ship away for a while...but they knew that they will have to deal with it eventually. The got to the Isle of Dread, set up a base camp, established relations with some of the locals, and cleared some pirates out from the area....oh, and Ewon broke his legs again by summoning an Elephant on top of himself. They left Ewon alone on the island that they found the pirates on with the reasoning that the Undead Ship would come back to Ewon first as Ewon was the one who managed to figure a way to send the ship away temporaily (Quest it to find an item and bring it back to him). Ewon would be a hermit healing himself for about a year. The other players went back to the island and went deeper into the island in order to find raw materials. They got lost and managed to find themselves into the center of the island. Long story short, they found a lost tribe and decided to help the tribe out with some problems they been having with something in the ruins that was in the middle of the lake that was in the volcanoe that they players found the tribe in. Long story short, the players got lost in a big dungeon (or stuck in it more like) and the had to look for another way out. They eventually got near the center of the volcano mound they were on and found a throne room belonging to the ancient race that once lived there until Lan Mor obliterated all of them. The person they found in the throne room was just a shadow of Lan Mor. The real problem was with Lan Mor's little pet being there...Allen. The room was the right place for Allen to harness his powers and Allen started to suck all the magic from the area into him. The players managed to escape from the falling volcano and into a river that was just outside of it. Meanwhile, Ewon (a long time back) was healing himself and ran into Jeniva. Jeniva a ran into the Undead Ship and managed to dispell the evil in it to make it a living flying ship. She found the broken Ewon and decided to help him out for a while before looking for the others. She had a magical device on her that tracked the player's location pretty much (it really just pointed to where they were and how far they were). At a certain day, Jeniva seeing that Ewon was basically cured, decided to pack up and head of to where the rest of the party should be. It was good timing on the party's part for they managed to run into the fleeing players and pick them up off the Isle of Dread, which was being destroyed by Allen's magical vortex. Not very long after they are got back together and into the air, Allen burst out of the ground as a 1000 ft. tall magical entity. They players had to fight an epic battle against a creature of pure magical energies.

Eventually, during the Earth Phase, they figured out the secret to dispatching this guy quickly and brought him down. Unfortunately, the players realized after they defeated him that Allen was all that was holding their ship up as Allen destroyed the ship's life force. The players fell down down down into the hole the Allen left when Allen destroyed the Isle of Dread. The players saw that the ocean was already filling in the gap that Allen made and the players prayed that they hit the water instead of solid ground.....their prayers appeared answered. They woke up by the rain and found that they were alive. Though they lost Ashton, the halfling, (who got skewered by a broken mast) and Jeniva (who sacrificed herself in order to save the other players's lives) they players were in a somewhat healthy condition...but the fight wasn't over yet. Just when the players decided to make for the land that they can see from the distance, they realized that Allen wasn't dead yet. They had to fight the final void element. Allen formed into a void beast and attempted to eradicate the players. The players, seeing that they couldn't use magic or weapons, decided to try to capture the beast by putting it into the bag of holding. They beast, being of no shape of form, fit right into the bag. They tied the bag up and tossed it in the air just in time for Allen ripped through the bag. But in doing so, it caused a magical rift to appear and Allen got sucked in it for the most part. The rift closed shut and sliced off the head of the beast--Allen. The skull of Allen fell onto the boat and into the waters. Now that the danger passed, the players look to gathering what supplies they can muster and head for the land quick before the rain sunk the remains of the ship. Now that most of the danger vanished, they realized how poor their health was. They couldn't feel all the pain from the adrenaline. They feel every part of their body screaming in pain. They will worry about the seriousness of their injuries later for now they must row towards the land nearby and pray that the inhabitants of that won't pay them no heed until they can get back into shape.

What will happen to the players now? Will they ever find home? Did they even have a home? Why does every place the players go to go up in flames? Why did the chicken cross the road? And will we every play this game anywhere else besides the library? Find out in the next episode that may or may not be the last episode of DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!!! (epic music plays)
