I've been planning this off-and-on for awhile, and I finally got together a group of people to play.
Adventure Summaries
Here are all the adventures in one easy place. Check it out if you don't want to read my little summaries down below.
Player journal entries can be found here: Journal Entries
The heroes are members of the Stalwart Stones, a group of Adepts tasked with protecting Kaer Ungada. However, they still have yet to complete their final initiation rites to become full-fledged First Circle Adepts of their respective Disciplines. Now is the final quest to determine if they are worthy.
Sickness is spreading throughout Kaer Ungada, which can happen in a closed-up environment like an underground city. This one has been running its course for at least a month now, but it hasn't been terrible. However, a new illness has cropped up, one that raises more dire concerns. Can Sean Shamsara, Elven Scout and cousin to the current Elder of the Kaer; Vyktor Wyvernjack, human Wizard; and quiet Boris Hillmens, Troll Warrior, find the cause and maybe the cure?
Ungada's Malady
Sean's Journal Entry
One player was unable to attend the first session, so I ran a solo adventure for his Windling Weaponsmith, Valteri Tomser. The light quartz in the ceiling are going out in the Kaer, but one man has an idea how to stop this from happening.

This looks like a start to a great campaign! I like that website, too.

Scabard is pretty neat, but it can be difficult to navigate at times despite the fact that the whole point is how easy it links things together. For example, all the links in the text happened automatically! Then the connections you can make on the side of the page auto-connect back from the other page. However, basic structure is under just a handful of pages, which means there's a ton of things all together.
Oh, and I recorded the audio and may do a podcast. So look for that in the future.

Re: Under the Stars
One player down, so I cardboarded him in. Unfortunately, he also got the killing blow on an accidentally too easy encounter.
It is time to celebrate! The Festival of Kar'lien is upon Kaer Ungada, and the Stalwart Stones welcome four new adepts into their fold. But things are not well in the Kaer. Sickness still afflicts the people, and something more sinister stirs.

Re: Under the Stars
Last time ended on a cliffhanger as a ghoul lunged for the heroes. Quickly dealt with, the rest of the time is spent investigating, questioning, and doubting. Who is responsible for the Horror constructs attacking the Kaer?

Re: Under the Stars
And now the heroes continue their checks of the Kaer wards only to run into a minor scuffle. That's what a fight between two guards and a ghoul and a cadaverman is called, right?

Re: Under the Stars
Fully rested, the newest Stalwart Stones venture out to capture a toxic blight in the hope it can be studied to find a cure.

Glad to get some feedback, and you're welcome!Slimcreeper wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 10:00 pmI'm reading these, by the way, thanks for posting them.
When I update Blighty Hill with more prose, I'll comment over here.
Oh, and are you reading Sean Shamshara's journal entries? There will be a link in the connections section of each event that has a journal entry (or you can go to the journal list page linked from the adventure summaries, which I added to the first post in this thread).

Re: Under the Stars
I finally updated Blighty Hill.
And two more sessions added to the site! Yay! I've been feeling down about the whole adventure and overwhelmed with GMing. We took a break from Earthdawn for one session since a player had to take a work trip out of country (even though we play online, he was WAY out of country). Played an adventure of Feng Shui that I'd planned 15 years ago and never got to run (it was amazing; I loved running that dream scenario, and I'll post details after the Earthdawn stuff).
The Stalwart Stones delivered their goopy package back to the Hall of Elders and handed it off to be studied, hopefully to find a cure. The rest of the time was spent running around the Kaer trying to figure out who is responsible. Will they get closer to an answer? No. They don't. But we had fun getting nowhere!
Trip Around Ungada
Being charged with bringing their prime suspect in for questioning, the group head back to his lab for the third time. While he technically doesn't resist, he also doesn't end up going with them.

The Feng Shui (2) adventure, a quick synopsis.
