Final Miniboss D&D began on April 12th, 2011, with four PCs. Livy, the Eladrin Cleric of Bahamut, who was raised by Rickets from birth after her parents abandoned her. Rickets, the Warforged Paladin of Kord. Sam and Alban, two half-brother (half-)elves, a wizard and a rogue. Settled in Wolfeye's Tavern, run by the titular Wolfeye, in the town of Allycya, the party heard of a powerful magical object in the ruins which were near the town. These ruins were known to be inhabited by a band of ruthless kobolds, but the party thought that they'd be okay.
The party ventured to the Ruins, vanquishing many Kobolds and dodging some traps, eventually coming to the last two rooms. Alban and Rickets co-operated in using their magic, convincing the Kobolds that they were envoys of Tiamat, who the Kobolds worshipped. The party passed the Kobolds, set off a deadly Poisonous Gas trap, and fled the ruins, killing the remaining Kobolds.
Upon further examination, the magical item was a part of the legendary Prism of Io, a shard of Io's power which was left behind when Io was split into Tiamat and Bahamut. Upon learning of this on their way back to town, the party was ambushed by a Large Black Dragon. The party fled the scene, minus Rickets, who stayed to valiantly take on the dragon; however, rickets was saved by a Silver Dragon, who descended onto the Black Dragon. The two dragons battled it out, and the Silver Dragon emerged victorious. The party gathered at the scene, and the Dragon, named Chris, began explaining. As it turns out, there were more pieces of the Prism scattered throughout the land, and it became the party's quest to collect the pieces and unite the whole Prism as one.
Upon returning to Allycya, Sam was in a coma due to some blunt force trauma and Livy was asleep, so Rickets and Alban burgled some houses, getting some cool loot. After the entire ordeal cleared up, Wolfeye notified the party that he'd heard a rumor of another piece of the Prism being at Tamait Peak to the north, only a few days' walk. The party ventured up the peak and Livy set off a bunch of traps and nearly killed herself, but after a long enough time, the party encountered what woudl come to be known as their greatest adversary of all:
Ankhegs.
The party fought valiantly, and it was a brutal battle, but in the end, Sam ended up dying a horrible death by means of being dropped off the edge of the cliff by an Ankheg, and Alban was incapacitated but otherwise fine when the Ankheg decided to aid him in committing Seppuku. The party, realizing that they'd lost this time around, gave Sam a proper burial, gazing at the mountain one last time, for good measure. At the top of the mountain stood a bard, who held up the piece of the Prism in her hands.
Getting back to the town, the party decided to take some things more seriously, performing a coup d'etat on the tavern, which didn't do much. They recruited five new party members; Ness, Harken, Toox, Wince, and Zan-Kyri. Ness is an Elven Monk who iz mysteeriz and has dark pazt. As a child, he was left as an orphan on the doorstep of a Monk temple, where he trained diligently, until he was one day framed for murder, which prompted him into stealing the treasured artifact of the Monk temple, The Pendant. Or something, I'm not completely clear on that one. Harken is a Kalashtar Bard whose father left in search of an enchanted guitar and never returned; Harken's goal in life was to find the Guitar. Wince is a Human Fighter whose village was burned and pillaged, "in the name of the gods." His goal in life is to kill all of the gods to avenge his town and family's death. Toox is a changeling who also happens to be a lesbian who likes strippers. Oh, and she's a Warlock as well, but yeah, lesbian. Zan-Kyri is/was a somewhat absent-minded (lol) Voidsoul Genasi Swordmage who... is/was absent-minded. He is/was an extremely powerful fighter, though. The five new party members had a battle royale, and Wince emerged victorious.
The party heard a rumor that a piece of the prism lied to the west, in an old fort which was heavily guarded. They ventured there, storming the fortress with much tact, and, unfortunately, the magic item was just a pair of Gloves, which Wince took. These gloves, known as the Gloves of All Elements, would become a powerful weapon in (on?) his hands.
Upon the party's return to the tavern, Wolfeye delivered the news that the party who'd taken the previous piece of the Prism, known as Reaver of Souls, was headed to Ykrim Jungle-forest-thing to the northeast, so the party headed there. After a brief interlude, the party traversed the jungle-forest-thing, killing a big monkey, rescued Reaver of Souls, reclaiming their Prism Piece, and Harken obtained a key called the Key to the Forest Temple. As it turned out, the door to the Temple was already unlocked, so there wasn't much use to there being a key. The party entered the temple, killed some monsters, dodged a trap, and encountered a Dwarf who ran the place, known as Dwarf-Lord Mordekai Hopa. They did friendly battle with the Drawf-Lord, and won, so he let them take the piece of the Prism, which just-so-happened to trigger a deadly gas trap, driving Mordekai and the dwarves out of the Forest Temple. Mordekai and the Dwarves apparently planned to set up a new base of operations in Tamait Peak.
Upon returning to the tavern, this time, the party was approached by a group of seven bards, known as the Roulf Octet, whose eighth member had been kidnapped. The Octet hired the party to find the eighth member, Waltz, and the party set off to a Bandit camp. They killed the bandits there and saved Waltz, but Waltz told Harken that the Metal Axe (the legendary guitar Harken was looking for) was stolen by the bandits' ringleader. The party went to the main base of the Bandits, and slew a dragon, taking the Metal Axe as their own. Harken rejoiced.
Later on, sitting back in the tavern, the party heard of a town to the south, being assaulted by orcs. Checking it out, it turns out it was actually a settlement of orcs under attack by humans, and there were only a few orcs left. The settlement happened to be over the ruins of Wince's hometown, which was a mine, and the orcs claimed that the reason they were assaulted was because there was said to be a magic item in the mine, which the humans wanted. The party headed down into the mine, vanquishing many Humans, and eventually got to the bottom of the mineshaft.
At the bottom of the mineshaft, holding the Prism, stood a tall, pale-skinned man, named Baron Kratos Von Xenudin. He carried an axe, sword, lance, and bow. He challenged the party to a duel for the piece of the Prism, but their battle was drawn short, as the mine began to collapse over their heads. Kratos said something, and teleported out holding the piece of the Prism.
The heroes went back to Allycya, when Ness was assaulted by a rowdy Swashbuckler named Crow, who rides a fucking bear. Eventually, the heroes got to know Crow and he joined the party. Later that day, a Dwarf arrived and requested the aid of the heroes on behalf of Mordekai, who needed help in securing Tamait. The party rushed to his aid. The heroes fought their way up the mountain and were about to be killed by Ankhegs YET AGAIN, but Mordekai Deus-Ex Machina'd their asses, saving them all. They eventually secured the mountain, and Mordekai said that the heroes were welcome in the mountain any time.
The heroes went far south, to Kcod, the port town, where two Orphans, Douglass the Drow and Jade the Medusa, were adopted. The party decided to test their abilities and kidnapped a small child, getting a few thousand GP in ransom for her. With this money and some of their own, the party bought a Greatship, which they named Union Fivefold.
A few weeks of doing nothing later, a rumor spread around town of a meteor hitting a nearby island, and the party decided to investigate. It was the cast of Hivebent, and everybody minus Tavros, Eridan, Gamzee, Vriska, and Aradia were captured and befriended, joining the team. The party suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of Vriska, however, and she took the majority of their riches, sending them home with their tails between their legs.
Nepeta and Harken were married, Toox was assigned to be the cook on the boat, and everybody who isn't Crow, Livy, Ness, Wince, Harken, Nepeta, and Karkat were assigned to crew it. These seven became the combat group of the ship. The party visited Harken's mother, and went to the heart of a Volcano, getting another piece of the Prism. The party discovered that, aside from the piece which Baron Kratos held, the final piece of the Prism was inside the Monk Temple where Ness grew up. One of the Baron's team members, Captain Hopkins, assaulted the heroes, and informed them that they had two months to retrieve the final piece and meet Union Baronfold at their base for a battle for the entire Prism.
It turns out that for a long time now, Vriska had been periodically mind controlling different members of the crew. This was the straw which broke the camel's back, and the party decided to locate and finish Vriska once and for all. Seven days before the due date with the Baron, the party enters Vriska's lair.

The Adventure Begins, for Real This Time Or, Let's All Rock the Heist
Jesus Christ, lots of shit happened today. So many things from so many perspectives, it wouldn't be suitable nor do the adventure justice to have it all be told by one person. As such, this journal will be told from a third-person perspective.
The heroes, and I'm only calling them that because they were at least mildly heroic at this point, started the day by wondering where the hell Livy wandered off to (we still don't know where that is). They were hanging out in the tavern in the middle of the night, while Crow, the Swashbuckler we recently made friends with, was semi-passed out, semi-drunk. The moment Wolfeye walks downstairs and closes up for the night, a Dwarf bursts through the wall, yelling about how the Heroes' allies, Dwarf-Lord Mordekai and his troops, were taking Tamait Peak and needed the heroes help to finalize the siege. Not bothering to ask that many questions, the heroes proceeded to Tamait Peak. Enter Tamait Peak 2: Electric Boogaloo.
The first room, which was actually the outside of the mountain itself, was barricaded heavily, but there were eight tigers behind it, trying to get out. With the help of the dwarves who were outside the barricades firing in, the Heroes dispatched the tigers with relative ease. The second room, which would have been familiar were it not that the party was all-new to this dungeon, was the slim hallway which has a u-turn in it, making the shape of a C. This room had a Human Knife Fighter and two Human Pirates, who did quite the number on the party. Ness was killed off, and Harken knocked unconscious, but eventually the heroes puled through. The third room, which I'm calling the Stupid Room, was stupid stupid dumb, on Ness' part. While the rest of the party was hanging around having their extended rest on account of the previous battle's difficulty, Ness decided to try to sneak off ahead by himself, although Wince followed him. Nearly being killed by one Gnoll Gorger, Ness decided to use his armor of breaching to teleport through the wall. Not through the wall to safety, no. The wall which led into more enemies, who laughed quite hard and swiftly dealt out a righteous asskicking to Ness. Wince, being as good of backup as he is, actually managed to fell a few of them, but still gave three of the Gnoll Gorgers a chance to run in to the room where the remainder of the party was resting. Being gambling folk, Crow and Harken decided to challenge the Gnolls to a dice game for their lives. The Gnolls lost, and were consequentially allowed to flee. Meanwhile, in the next room over, Wince had just finished intimidating an entire group of Gnolls into shitting their pants and absconding as fast as they could. Deliberately leaving Ness dead and stuffing him into a chest, the heroes proceeded into the next room.
Ah, the good ol' Ankheg room. Gotta love Ankhegs. I'm not even really going to describe it. Nobody died, but it was a close match. As the heroes were about to run away and admit defeat, the Dwarf-Lord came to save their asses. In the next room, the Dwarf-Lord had already slain all the enemies, but there were two doors, so the heroes headed into one door and Mordekai into the other. For the heroes, the next room would be their last.
That is to say, it was a boss fight. An expertly performed boss fight, if I may say so myself. The encounter was the noble who'd taken the mountain, teamed up with two Owlbears which he had tamed. The noble was slain on the first round, right off the bat, due to two powerful hits from Wince and Crow. Crow then did an 4CROB4T1C FUCK1NG P1ROU3TT3 onto one of the remaining Owlbears, giving it a sound punch to the snout to establish his superiority. With that decisive blow, Crow had tamed the Owlbear. Lacking it's allies, with it's only friend turned against it, the remaining Owlbear was quick to flee. Long story short, Mordekai thanked the heroes and awarded them with a Jade the size of Wince's fist.
The heroes, taking their loot and doing various stupid things with it, quickly got bored. This prompted a string of events which has led them to their current situation. Firstly, Wince snapped. I mean, he's always been a little crazy, but he slaughtered an entire orphanage, minus two children, along with the Baron of the town. These orphans were then adopted by the heroes. Douglass Von Ezio, a young Drow, is now being taught the ropes of assassination, while Jade, a Medusa (don't ask why orphanages stock medusas) is learning to become a ranger.
After this, the heroes minus Wince pulled a heist of a jewelry store in the port town of Kcod, and got off with thousands of GP in jewels. Douglass was a vital part of the heist, even if he IS level 1/2 (poisons, bitches). While the main group was doing this, Wince kidnapped the duke's daughter, and the heroes then held her for 10000GP in ransom money, and made off with it, escaping to the town on the other side of the continent. The heroes decided to buy a greatship, and headed off to the Tavern to recruit people to crew it.

Zan-Kyri Journal 004: honk HONK honk
So, My Good Bro Alban Asked Me to Pin Up a Journal Entry on the Cork-Board,
This was just like, the weirdest few weeks ever, brother. First of all, I'm just about to get my god damned cake I've been trying to ask somebody for for weeks, and eight guys just outta freakin' nowhere and start preaching about how, "Blah, blah, our leader was kidnapped." and then they offer us like 6000GP to go find him. In the end, it turns out that they're thisgroup of people octet called the Roulf Octet, and their eighth member, Waltz got taken by some rowdy group of teenagers bandits while he was looking for some magical artifact or something, probably not important, my brother.
So anyways, we head on over to this bandit camp after searching around for like three freaking hours, and it's, of course, a huge wall that nobody can get through. So Wince, this cool human guy, gets stuck on the outside of the wall, and there's the one guy sitting there taking shots at him with a crossbow, missing every. Freaking. Time. Anyways, eventually, we killed all the bandits and got Waltz, and he told us to go check the leader's body because the leader had a letter. So we grab the letter and, guess the plan was to release Waltz anyways. But, long story short, we had to go to ANOTHER bandit camp, where we subjugated a bunch more people.
We get into this cave after a while, right, and Harken (the angry Bard guy who's really mean) challenges the Bandit Leader to a Guitar Battle. Now, it was just prior discovered that the item which Waltz was searching for was a Magical Guitar, known as the Metal Axe, which is a pretty funny name, being a guitar, right bro? Anyways, Harken and the Bandit Leader have this guitar duel for like, 35 seconds flat, and then the leader transforms into a sound dragon. Yeah, just outta nowhere, kind of like a freakin miracle or something. So wekill slay the dragon, the ass hole runs off with the guitar axe magic thing. Wounded, bleeding, pretty much dead, he very well just falls over right where he was standing. So anyways, happy ending, Harken hass the Metal Axe, which he was apparently searching for his entire life. CoNgRaTs, BrO!
You'd think that, being the end of a dungeon, the journal would end right there. That is not the case this time. Holy...
...god...
...cake...
...
...
...I'M BACK, MOTHER FUCKERS. WHERE WAS I? RIGHT, THE NEXT DUNGEON WE DID. HEHEHE, THIS ONE'S PRETTY GOOD. MY GOOD BROTHERS AND I, MY GOOD BROTHERS I SAY, MY GOOD BROTHERS AND I, WE'RE JUST SITTING OUT IN THE TAVERN HAVING A GOOD DRINK WITH ALL THAT FAT LOOT THE BROAD AND HER SEVEN FRIENDS GAVE US, RIGHT, WHEN WOLFEYE COMES IN AND HES JUST LIKE, "DUDE, THERE'S A GROUP OF ORCS FUCKING UP SOME VILLAGES," SO MOST OF US WERE JUST LIKE, "WELL SHIT.

TURNS OUT SOME BASTARD BEAT US THERE, KILLED ALL THE ORCS DAMN WELL FOR US, THE FUCKER DID, AND RAN RIGHT OFF WITH ALL OUR LOOT.

AFTER SOME COCKY LINES ABOUT HOW WE WERE GONNA DIE, WE ALL GOT OUR STRIFE ON.

25 FOOT AURA! COME AT ME BRO!
Well, how should I start Xune? Yes, the bar will do. Alrighty then, i forgot to introduce myself, I'm Toox, changeling darkpact warlock. I appear to be a drow, I'm not. I was in a bar today, when some lolthmeat warforged entered, he took over the bar with his more sane, reasonable wizard friend Alban. They start using the the tavern as a base for their adventuring group "Final Miniboss." They recruit some odd human fighter, Wince I think. I insulted the spiderdung and Alban recruited me. A genasi had a problem with the overthrow and challenged us all to duals separately.
We fought separately and that man would give lolthblessed dryders a run for their money. A kalashar bard teleports to the other side of the room, gets recruited and dueled by that genasi, Zan-Kyri. The swordmage genasi beats the bard who I wake. Zan was on a bloody rampage! I go to the hooker room with the bard who introduces himself as Harken. We watched a good-looking changeling in the form of a girl dance. She was pretty good.
I sent Xune, my spider farmilliar, to check on the duel that had broken out between the human and Zan. Zan's was getting his mandibles sharpened, that is to say, he was losing. Badly. Zan could not hit nor damage a hair on the humans head. Wince was precisely striking, hardly missing a shot. I woke Zan as he lost. We rested and spoke about Final Miniboss. Wolf-Eye, a semi-acceptable human barkeep, told us of a fort with a decent magic item in it. As we left another member of Final Miniboss joined us. It was Livy, a young cleric of Bahamut.
As we passed some guards on the road, we spoke briefly. We ended up at the fort without a hitch. I skulked off into shadows and scaled the wall, while Harken gladly made a distraction. His roars of fury and flaming guitar never cease to amaze me. I morphed human to walk along the wall, jumped the gap in between the portcullis' winch and I, and opened the gate. We pursued the guards into the base and I dodged into the foliage of a tree. Zan dealt with one guard, as did I, while the rest killed two guards. We noticed that there was a guardhouse with several inside. I walked in as a guard we just killed and bluffed them into going back to what they were doing and that the intruders were dead.
Zan void assumed and killed two guards and took the keys, which we never used. I left and climbed a guard tower. Atop was where the underboss was. I hid out in that room. Quick to follow the party commenced a fight saving me from my unintentional prison. That was one of the more dangerous fights we had to do since I have joined them to date. Wince took some magic gauntlets from the dead underboss.
When we got back to town, Alban, who had stayed there to help Wolf-Eye, had recruited a slightly smug elven monk named Ness. Wince dueled him in the void arena and had to start a cowards fight to win. If it had been me I would have declared Ness winner when Wince chickened out and second winded. Either way we recruited the secretive monk. Wolf-Eye came around with some information pertaining to the Prism, the artifact the company was created to find. He said that Reaver of Souls, our rivals were headed to Ykrum jungle searching for a piece of it.
We went to the jungle to fight a giant ape. Turns out they are like GIANT HUMANS. I lost it and accidentally dropped my disguise. We saw 4 bodies, fresh, around the ape. We pulverized the ape and a druid came down from the trees. It was a short conversation before she ran off with them to revive them. He handed us another piece of the Prism. I decided it would be safest to have Xune take it and then have him be his passive state on me. He became a tattoo on my hand, along with the Prism. We entered a room when continuing on. It contained a chest and eight fake walls.
I flipped out at the goblins that popped out and five out of eight decided to make themselves scarce. We killed the three others without hesitation. The next fight was in a narrow hallway with a gelatinous cube. That was torture for all but me, who kept distance. We killed it and continued to a room with chest high walls. Dwarves decided it was efficient to all stand together and I spread my contagion over them all. Violence happened as Ness dashed over to a chest in the corner like a magpie. He ignored the combat entirely. We ended up killing all but one. I had a darkspiral aura of 25 feet, which is huge and highly dangerous. I taunted a dwarf into attacking me, which he immediatly regretted as his crossbow bolt snapped like a twig, followed by every other bone in his corpulent body. We trudged on into a hallway coated in minoins of every veriety. 36 in total. They explained that the head dwarf wanted to test us in a duel. Not to the death. 6 vs 1. We won without a lot of trouble. We retrieved magic items and woke the dwarf. I got deathcut leather armor. We continued into a room with floors coated in beautifully smelling vines. Using common sense to deduce that the dire rat wasn't the only "threat" I climbed the walls around to the other side and found the prism in a cloud of gas. I sent Xune into it. Scratch that, poison gas. Xune reappeared and we went to our friends aid as they called for help. I entered to find vine horrors attacking my team and Ness doing the first annual vine horror rodeo. Ness was perched atop one of them, riding its head. Livy and I used their delicious weakness against them, fire, and they retreated. Winced endured the gas and took the piece of the prism. The gas expanded and we fled. Outside the dwarf leader that had dwelled here said he was to make a base at Tamait peak. He said he didn't know about the gas trap but I don't believe him.
We returned to town and sold our un-needed equipment. I added the second addon to the Prism and arcane draconic wings sprung from my back. In compensation for carrying the Prism I gave the team 1000 gp which Ness, Wince, Livy and Harken split with the rest of the loot I didn't touch.
Things are going fine, Toox.
O.O.C. So Mike and I had a little bet. If the campaign was more shenanagainy then usual I won. Whoever lost had to dress like a hipster at school on monday. I lost. Well done Mike, I enjoyed my first time as a real character.

Alban's Journal 002: Sam Fisher, Some Assembly Required
Dear Journal,
Could we all take a moment of silence for my beloved brother, who died during our excavation to Tamait Peak...
...
Thank you. Now that we're done with that, I guess I can start from the beginning. When we last left off, I was being attacked by a dragon. Proceeding that, I was attacked by another dragon. Then, we were saved by a dragon and then it tried to attack me but decided against it. Also, some time around here, Rickets decided to become a Luchador. No freaking clue what that means, but if it motivates him into fighting things instead of getting me killed, I guess I'm okay with it.
Now for an explanation of the above paragraph. First and foremost, we'd just returned from the mighty-but-somewhat-of-a-pushover Ruins of Whatever-They're-Called, where we recovered the not-so-but-someday-will-be-powerful Prism of Io. For those of you who have no idea who Io is, Io was the mighty Dragon King before he got torn in half. The pieces became the Gods, Tiamat and Bahamut. According to Chris, who I'll introduce later, there was a third piece when he was split, and it became the six pieces of the Prism of Io. Alone, the pieces do absolutely frig-all, but apparently when assembled into one, that one thing could be sold for 50000000 Astral Diamonds, or for you poor common folk who aren't rich, that's five billion gold pieces.
Nevertheless, we were just returning from those Ruins with the first part of the Prism. Suddenly and out of nowhere, this group of Kobolds, which I could have sworn were Goblins, accompanied by some wussy little black dragon, attacked us. We won easily; however, we forgot that where there's a baby, there's a mother. Much to all of our dismay, this time the mother just happened to be a huge black dragon. Rickets, being the most expendable, easy to manipulate, and impressionable, was ordered/decided to stay behind to fight it by himself while the remainder of us fled. Boldly hiding in a bush nearby like a man, I was watching and waiting for the right moment to strike. Yeah, that's what I was doing. Anyways, Rickets, as expected, gets cut nearly into two pieces with one fell attack from the huge bastard dragon. He still stands back up, yelling something about how Luchas never back down from a fight. This whole time he's practically dead there, nearly passing out merely from the amount of oily-black magic blood spilling from his torso, ribs, stomach, legs, arms, head, throat, ankles, wrists, forarms, fingers, toes, biceps, triceps, and left ass cheek. Although I guess he kind of looked like a moron, it was all very noble and heroic of him, foolishly thinking he'd buy us time so we could outrun the freaking dragon. Oh, and this entire time, Sam is just taking a nap on the ground, by the way.
So anyways, as the black dragon is about to get a brutality kill on Rickets, another dragon swoops in and kicks the everliving tar out of it. This dragon is silver. So after it's brutally finished maiming his draconic brother in cold blood for no apparent reason, the bastard transforms into an Eladrin, which was cool and all. So he shakes Ricket's hand and Rickets topples over in exhaustion and shock, but of course not before revealing my location. So the Eladrin drags me out of the bush and confronts me, yelling gibberish and curse words in Draconic at me. Eventually, we figured out how to communicate like civil humanoid beings and it was established that his name is GRAAAGH RAAARG CRAAAAGH, which is Draconic for Chris, or something really close to it. He told us to head to Tamait Peak, which is a nearby mountain, and retrieve the next piece of the Prism of Io. Diligently and with great haste, we decided to head back to the town for a while.
Sam still in a coma and me casting Sleep on Livy, Rickets and I decided to go do some hardcore burglary. That ended terribly, I got killed, Sam, freshly woke up, almost got killed, Rickets was imprisoned, but we ended up sweet talking our way out of it, minus me, who was dead. My brother was also a Dampyr and tried to god damned eat me like the unloved bastard child he is.
After all of these terrible distractions, we eventually decided to just head over to Tamait Peak already. We got it a big fight with a bunch of bird guys outside the door, and we put swords through them like the crows they were. There's not much which is better than putting a sword through a crow. After taking a brief break, we headed in.
The first room was an exceedingly narrow hallway conveniently filled with undead creatures, which is fortunate because two of our party members are extremely skilled at killing undead things, specifically. It was all very quick and well done, and I don't think that the enemies actually managed to hit any of us
The next room went significantly worse. It was large and outdoors, and I noticed a gnoll up the stairs, which wasn't really of any concern. We quickly dealt in all of the enemies, and I fell off of the cliff due to Rickets covering the area with butter. Three cheers for Feather Fall!
The next room, which I'll just call the trap hut, was... I can't even formulate a sentence about how unfathomably huge of a moron everybody except Rickets, including myself. First, we notice a bunch of odd, flickering Kobolds at the end of a hallway. Instead of doing the smart thing and sending the FREAKING Rogue, OR the Paladin in, Livy just charges on in while pounding on her chest with one hand and yelling, "I'm a huge moron, I love getting lit on fire!" so of course, as soon as she said it, CLICK, flamethrowers. So instead of doing the logical thing and stop, drop, roll, she just keeps going, steps on another freaking trap, gets loaded with arrows, keeps running, collapses in spasms on the ground, the Kobolds run. At this point, Sam just kamikazes in, at LEAST having the courtesy to disarm the flamethrowers blocking our way. Somehow and by Gods-know what miracle, we managed to make it through the room and take a break. Even though I kind of wanted to club Livy in the back of the head and throw her off the side of the mountain for being a freakin' moron and nearly getting us all killed minus Rickets, we decided to keep her around, which ended up being a good thing...
...in the next room. Basically, Sam got tossed off the cliff and died instantly, I was half-eaten alive to death, Rickets almost died, and Livy was stayin' alive, hardly taking any damage. We were against two Ant Hegs, and I can't exactly describe the battle as I was too busy being dead. Sam was in many pieces at the bottom of the cliff, but thankfully, I was resurrected.
May he rest in pieces. Moron.
Could we all take a moment of silence for my beloved brother, who died during our excavation to Tamait Peak...

NEW MAJOR QUEST IN PROGRESS
You've heard word that the adventuring group Reaver of Souls is going to Tamait Peak to find an artifact. Could it be another piece of the Prism of [Message Redacted]? However Tamait Peak (pronounced Tah Mate) is not somewhere you want to go for christmas vacation. Mabye you should train to level 3 a suitable strength before attempting to go after them. A day lost isn't that bad right? Mabye head to save those useless peasents. You could take the two week long journey to Lairepmi for the coliseum, however it would take a while, the artifact might already have been taken by the time you get back.
Good luck, DM

Corrections
I'm lazy and don't want to think up a post ergo I'm going to correct Albans journal.
Dear Journal,
Who knew that Kobolds were so fucking STUPID? Like, downright freaking off the handle retarded? I just finished convincing a horde of them that I was a prophet of Tiamat, and then I killed their leader and nobody even says a fucking word! I mean, if Tiamat sent a prophet, it'd OBVIOUSLY be a Dragonborn. Or just a fucking Dragon, even! Like, really.
On to business, though. This morning I woke up in jail. I didn't remember what the dicks was going on for a while, but then I remembered that I was in here forsodomizing some orphans Livy can't see this, I'll write something else. For saving some innocents. Yeah, that's it. Anyways, I was about five seconds from leaving the jail with all of my shit all quiet like when outta fuckin' nowhere BOOM RICKETS THROUGH THE WALL like some kind of fucking beast. So, even though I was going to spare the guard, he decides to fuck everything up and just break the guy's neck and make a necklace out of his teeth. I'm not even speaking figuratively, he really made a necklace from the guy's teeth. After that, Rickets left through the wall-hole and I just fucking used the door. Moron. (Technically he burned down an orphanage)
When we got back to the church (After evading some other guards and meeting up with my good bro, Sam) we told Livy some crazy bullshit story about me getting brutalized or something, I don't really remember. But in any case, she made us some soup and Rickets was sad because he can't eat. Pussy.
So in the middle of the only good god-damned meal I've had in like a week, this stupid fucking moron derps his way into the church, spewing some shit about a family's daughter getting killed, and then he said something about a powerful and valuable magic item, and how it was in the ruins. So, fuck saving that poor innocent family, they can wait. Let's go steal some valuables! (They had just finished a bar fight in the mans bar. Albans just too mentally impaired to differentiate a raving loony in a church and a barkeep)
We headed out to the ruins and got detained on the road by these freaking Kobolds and a Wolf, but we got them to all pussy out. Then we waited a while for me to charge my daily. Then, once again, we got in a fucking fight. I didn't notice because I was in the bushes "charging another spell". So I hear all my buds yelling shit and fighting so I take out the Horn of Gondor and just fuckin' VWWWVWWWWWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVVWVWVWVWVVWVWVW GONDOR CALLS FOR AID! GONDOR CALLS FOR AID! So then this guard comes and tries to save our ass but the fighting was already over. (Neither Alban nor guard was any help during that fight. DON'T TAKE UNPREPARED EXTENDED RESTS! THAT'S STUPID!)
After we finished lounging around on the road doing fuck all for 14 hours, we actually got to the ruins, which is twice as far as I expected us to get. Turns out they weren't actually all too ruinous. They had big doors and everything. No door is a match for Rickets, though. Nonetheless, there were some Kobolds being a big happy family and eating a meal together, so we shit on their parade and brutally murdered them all. I think Rickets even tore one of their arms off. Nonetheless, we then unclothed the bodies and are going to sell the clothes. So we waited for a little while to heal up and take a break and more Kobolds showed up, who we brutally murdered. (Technically Sam picked the lock on the door and Rickets rolled down the stairs like an idiot. They were goblins who nearly killed Rickets in the first room, none of which were at a table or a happy family. Fucking Alban is seeing things again.)
We went down some stairs and then I died. I fell down the stairs and somebody clubbed me in the face, and then slit my neck while I was still out, the dirty cowards. After Rickets and Livy killed my slayers with the help of Sam, they backed out of the ruins and resurrected me, which was good. Afterwards, we sold our stuff and went back to the ruins, which brings me to the first paragraph of this journal entry. (Again, Alban got it wrong, he was speared and then speared again for the kill. He did fall down the stairs though.)
Who knewKobolds were so fucking stupid that prestidigitation could be so useful?! It must first be explained that I can speak Supernal. It's just a little something I picked up in my travels. So I, being the fucking genius that I am, put together that, being speakers of Draconic and lovers of wealth and shines, Kobolds like Tiamat. Conveniently, I happened to know one of Tiamat's speeches, so I recited it. I then prestidigitated my robes into being gold-looking, and then I put a symbol of Tiamat on the floor in front of the Kobolds. I walk into the room and they're all kneeling, so I spew some bullshit about me being the Prophet of Tiamat and then bring their leader into the back room with Rickets in tow. Then, Livy and Sam walked into the main room and did some shit, while I asked the Kobold Leader about where all the fucking shiny lewt was. He just pointed to that thing and made a stupid face and then, in this god-awful tone, "It's a trap!" (That shit is fully and 100% true)
The artifact was on an altar surrounded by what was clearly quicksand, so Rickets just plows through it and PLUNK doors shut, room fills with gas. Being the fucking genius I am, I prestidigitate another artifact and replace the old one and tell the Kobold Leader, "Sleep, child." and then I cast Sleep and slit his throat. After that, Rickets starts pounding on the door trying to break it, which apparently, a locked door with screaming behind it and pounding apparently didn't help Livy to understand that she was SUPPOSED TO OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR. What a stupid bitch. (Technically the first scream was the ghost sound.)
Anyways, I Ghost Sound as loud as a fucking Earthquake Dragon, "OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR FOR FUCK'S SAKE," and apparently that helped clue the broad in. So Sam, being not a complete moron, picks the lock and we all get the fuck out while running faster than the Vrock chasing a kobold. So we're walking down the road, fighting over the Artifact, henceforth known as the Prism and wait what the fuck is that a dragon?! (Yes Alban, what the fuck else does that thing look like? Chris Kringle?)
Dear Journal,
Who knew that Kobolds were so fucking STUPID? Like, downright freaking off the handle retarded? I just finished convincing a horde of them that I was a prophet of Tiamat, and then I killed their leader and nobody even says a fucking word! I mean, if Tiamat sent a prophet, it'd OBVIOUSLY be a Dragonborn. Or just a fucking Dragon, even! Like, really.
On to business, though. This morning I woke up in jail. I didn't remember what the dicks was going on for a while, but then I remembered that I was in here for
When we got back to the church (After evading some other guards and meeting up with my good bro, Sam) we told Livy some crazy bullshit story about me getting brutalized or something, I don't really remember. But in any case, she made us some soup and Rickets was sad because he can't eat. Pussy.
So in the middle of the only good god-damned meal I've had in like a week, this stupid fucking moron derps his way into the church, spewing some shit about a family's daughter getting killed, and then he said something about a powerful and valuable magic item, and how it was in the ruins. So, fuck saving that poor innocent family, they can wait. Let's go steal some valuables! (They had just finished a bar fight in the mans bar. Albans just too mentally impaired to differentiate a raving loony in a church and a barkeep)
We headed out to the ruins and got detained on the road by these freaking Kobolds and a Wolf, but we got them to all pussy out. Then we waited a while for me to charge my daily. Then, once again, we got in a fucking fight. I didn't notice because I was in the bushes "charging another spell". So I hear all my buds yelling shit and fighting so I take out the Horn of Gondor and just fuckin' VWWWVWWWWWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVVWVWVWVWVVWVWVW GONDOR CALLS FOR AID! GONDOR CALLS FOR AID! So then this guard comes and tries to save our ass but the fighting was already over. (Neither Alban nor guard was any help during that fight. DON'T TAKE UNPREPARED EXTENDED RESTS! THAT'S STUPID!)
After we finished lounging around on the road doing fuck all for 14 hours, we actually got to the ruins, which is twice as far as I expected us to get. Turns out they weren't actually all too ruinous. They had big doors and everything. No door is a match for Rickets, though. Nonetheless, there were some Kobolds being a big happy family and eating a meal together, so we shit on their parade and brutally murdered them all. I think Rickets even tore one of their arms off. Nonetheless, we then unclothed the bodies and are going to sell the clothes. So we waited for a little while to heal up and take a break and more Kobolds showed up, who we brutally murdered. (Technically Sam picked the lock on the door and Rickets rolled down the stairs like an idiot. They were goblins who nearly killed Rickets in the first room, none of which were at a table or a happy family. Fucking Alban is seeing things again.)
We went down some stairs and then I died. I fell down the stairs and somebody clubbed me in the face, and then slit my neck while I was still out, the dirty cowards. After Rickets and Livy killed my slayers with the help of Sam, they backed out of the ruins and resurrected me, which was good. Afterwards, we sold our stuff and went back to the ruins, which brings me to the first paragraph of this journal entry. (Again, Alban got it wrong, he was speared and then speared again for the kill. He did fall down the stairs though.)

Alban's Journal 001: Have you Ever Been Coup-de-Grace'd?
Dear Journal,
Who knew that Kobolds were so fucking STUPID? Like, downright freaking off the handle retarded? I just finished convincing a horde of them that I was a prophet of Tiamat, and then I killed their leader and nobody even says a fucking word! I mean, if Tiamat sent a prophet, it'd OBVIOUSLY be a Dragonborn. Or just a fucking Dragon, even! Like, really.
On to business, though. This morning I woke up in jail. I didn't remember what the dicks was going on for a while, but then I remembered that I was in here forsodomizing some orphans Livy can't see this, I'll write something else. For saving some innocents. Yeah, that's it. Anyways, I was about five seconds from leaving the jail with all of my shit all quiet like when outta fuckin' nowhere BOOM RICKETS THROUGH THE WALL like some kind of fucking beast. So, even though I was going to spare the guard, he decides to fuck everything up and just break the guy's neck and make a necklace out of his teeth. I'm not even speaking figuratively, he really made a necklace from the guy's teeth. After that, Rickets left through the wall-hole and I just fucking used the door. Moron.
When we got back to the church (After evading some other guards and meeting up with my good bro, Sam) we told Livy some crazy bullshit story about me getting brutalized or something, I don't really remember. But in any case, she made us some soup and Rickets was sad because he can't eat. Pussy.

Who knewKobolds were so fucking stupid that prestidigitation could be so useful?! It must first be explained that I can speak Supernal. It's just a little something I picked up in my travels. So I, being the fucking genius that I am, put together that, being speakers of Draconic and lovers of wealth and shines, Kobolds like Tiamat. Conveniently, I happened to know one of Tiamat's speeches, so I recited it. I then prestidigitated my robes into being gold-looking, and then I put a symbol of Tiamat on the floor in front of the Kobolds. I walk into the room and they're all kneeling, so I spew some bullshit about me being the Prophet of Tiamat and then bring their leader into the back room with Rickets in tow. Then, Livy and Sam walked into the main room and did some shit, while I asked the Kobold Leader about where all the fucking shiny lewt was.

Yet another minor quest
People have heard screaming around a shack in the woods, the town guards would like to hire some people to help find what the problem is. The church has donated a reward to those who can find the source of the disturbance and eliminate it. Worth a look I suppose, right?
This is a level 3 minor quest, it will be a back up for our friday session if my current material is not enough. If we don't use it now we can use it later.
Building fights is tough.
Being DM is hard work.
Alas, it is fun!

Edit: As I have not finished this thing it will not appear quite yet.

Time to Roll
The first session is at Mikes at 11:30ish to 6ish when Nick has to go. Any objections, comments or concerns? If you havnt already read "And so it Begins" check it out, it gives some base info about the start of the campaign.
Time's on our side! DM
Time's on our side! DM
And so it begins
Welcome to the Final Miniboss blog. Here I intend to keep information on our groups D&D campaign. Feel free to ask your questions relating to the campaign or D&D in general here. Let's all hope this turns out well!
Info on the beginning town of Allycya:
There are two entrances to the armored town, north and south. There is the commeners land and the Wolf-eye tavern to the northwest. The tavern is named after it's owner. There you can find tales and rumours pertaining to minor quests. There are the nobles to the southwest. The town inn is in the north and the joined church of general worship and the church of avandra near the center of the town. There are a couple empty lots in town, one due todrunken arsony an "unfortunate accident" at an orphanage. The dukes fort and jail are most of the east side
of the town. There have been a few rumours circulating, one of
a family under assault to the west and one of an ancient artifact of extreme power. Vague as that may be that seems worthy to gather a party to search for. Be wary however as caravans have been disappearing near the ruins to the south east.
Good luck and have fun, DM
