We spent some time repairing the defiled temple, cleaning the ziggurat and mending what had been broken before departing from the Necromancer’s Lair. One of the others found a strange inscription in dwarvish on the ziggurat, “Wherever there are elves, there are lies.” The elven-blooded among our party seemed irritated at this, but the entire …

Tilia’s Field Notes: On Observing
I packed this book of empty pages when I set out adventuring with the intention of keeping records of new plants and animals that I encountered. And so I shall, but it seems there are more things of interest to observe – such as my companions and our travails, even my own thoughts – than …
Tilia’s Field Notes: Wynlynn and Val
Our ranger companion Wynlynn remains a little mysterious to me. She has flowing white hair, tied back in ornate braids that show off her fine facial features, basically the sort of ethereal beauty that one expects of a high elf. Her deep green eyes have a liquid quality that reminds me of a vernal pool …
Tilia’s Field Notes: Return to the Necromancer’s Lair
Returning to the Necromancer’s Lair was in order, as we had unfinished business, so we took the same route back through the forest. Observations in the forest: Wynlynn and I briefly spotted an animal traveling the mountainside above us, clearly a member of the Felidae. While there’s no matching entry in my field guide, I’ve …

Tilia’s Field Notes: The Glade Fort
In spite of the cleric’s salves and blessed incense, my sleep was restless and troubled by bizarre nightmares. Perhaps it was an effect of the mummy’s curse, for that’s what caused the black rot. The dream visions of a writhing darkness, filled with horrible bony creatures, ended with a jolt to consciousness after a flying …
Tilia’s Field Notes: From the Necromancer’s Lair to The Glade

Tilia’s Field Notes: Standing Stone Tunnels
Observations on the way to the standing stones, along the main road: Usual songbirds and “small woodland creatures” including squirrels, chipmunks, and a cottontail rabbit Seemed like there was something moving on the mountains above us, but never got a good view, much like the elusive creature in the forest Observations in the dwarven tunnels …

Tilia’s Field Notes: Mine Quest Day 3
Observations outside the mine: Scavengers present when we arrived — including “buzzards” (vultures), some small animals, and a larger animal, likely a canid such as a wolf or coyote — consuming the remains of a dwarf and a human. Could not confidently identify animal species due to our distance from them when they scattered. Unknown …
