Dungeon of the Mad Mage

 



Chapter 1 - Into the Undermountain

The Mystics of Trollskull Manor return in the first chapter of their new adventure as they delve into the mysterious mega-dungeon of Undermountain to undertake Halaster's Challenge!

Here's a hint: Evergreen picked up an obviously cursed sword in the first room she entered. :🤦:

Chapter 4 - Talk To Me

The party finally meets the object of their quest - Halaster the Mad Mage himself - and their first meeting is not what they expected.

Later, they meet a deranged automaton. Get punked by some intellect devourers. Then get punked by some goblins and bugbears.

Don't worry - our heroes emerge victorious. Bloodied but stronger, smarter, and ready for their next challenge!

On the way they encounter Halleth Garke - the revenant - who has sword vengeance upon them for leaving him in a pit to rot.

After a tough fight they finally get some rest at the Goblin Bazaar. There Hu-man Patty Johnson and Honorary-Goblin Bearbite (aka Push-ta) orchestrate a little heist against Yek the Tall.

On the way back, they encounter a deadly goblin assassin sent by Xanathar's Guild - retribution for the damage the team has caused to the crime guild.



The Mystics of Trollskull Manor meet another party in the Undermountain - the Last Knights.

They decide to return to the surface together. On the way the team fights two-headed giants and a gray ooze.

Back on the surface, they return home, show Hu-Man Patty Johnson how toilets work, conduct some book-keeping.

Then Winterfrost and Hu-man Patty Johnson go shopping.

SHOPPING MONTAGE!

It's non-stop high-stakes action-packed thrills all the time!
