The crew discovered what was really going on in town, and found where one of the main children who died was buried. Because it’s a fantasy world and they have things like spells that allow you to speak with the dead, it’s permissible in their courts to use as evidence in a trial.

We all agreed it would probably be really helpful, and also help bring closure to everyone in town. The problem was now we had to dig up a dead kid.

And that’s when they all turned to Corbin and his expertise of graverobbing YET AGAIN.

C’mon guys, you give him crap about his history and then turn around and ask him to use this knowledge like ALL THE TIME?? Gonna give this guy more mental issues than he’s already got...

For the second day, we traveled to a different town to get more evidence to prove our client’s innocence. WELP. Turns out when everyone left town they uh... left a bunch of bear traps hidden in case any monsters came back. Achilles was the unlucky sort to step in one and, well, Corbin wasn’t going to let the chance to sass him get away.

One of these days Corbin’s gonna catch some hands, but there will be no regrets.

So. The party had to act as the defense team for the Beast of Lepistat and this involved not ONLY gathering evidence (easy peasy), but actually... going in front of the judges and a gallery of locals to present said evidence.

Corbin got the unlucky straw and actually had to present his evidence first (also pretty much having to admit that he’s got knowledge about body snatching and graverobbing to the general public and a bunch of judges in a court of law). The guy’s got a big issue with public speaking - he’s a henchman through and through and is WAY better at taking orders than actually having to give any or say, talking to other people about ANYTHING. It didn’t help that he got so nervous the gallery of locals started laughing at him.

Mikael tried to help. He really did. Bless him.

Achilles just... booed him. >.>

In a fun little twist, the party received a letter from some person claiming to be the mastermind behind the first mystery at the prison. Corbin immediately jumps to the worst conclusion and assumes that it’s the Whispering Way out to get him.

Can you blame him though??

The group arrives in Lepistat - the city with a big college in it! (if you ever paid attention to my OLD Carrion Crown doodles, this is actually where my old character Dr. Cornelius taught - found here) Corbin is... not a fan. Too many uppity nerdy people here.

They make their way to the university to investigate because OF COURSE they’re roped into another issue (gonna be the defense team for the Beast of Lepistat, sorry Corbin you can’t leave yet) - and... Mikael started just... babbling with another professor...

More traveling conversations!

It’s been mentioned I think a couple of times, but now the group REALLY had it sink in. Apparently Achilles has a WIFE??????????

??????????

?????????

That poor woman.

With the prison cleared of ghosts, the team was now on their next quest: DELIVER SOME BOOKS. So they had some time to chat.

Corbin keeps trying to leave the group. The group has... other plans.

I’m back with more Carrion Crown nonsense! The gang got to the final battle and HOO BOY was it a doozy. Taking down the final ghosty was.. well.. it was a Real Thing.

Turns out it was a mage and it liked to lob some hefty magic missles taking out some of our squishier folk right in front of Corbin. Gil was very very busy that battle.

Achilles had to do the worst thing he’s ever had to do... destroy a mages book. (it was epically delicious.)

After all the Iron Maiden nonsense was handled, the group got to search around and realized some of the clues they were looking for were likely hidden inside the corpse that was in the room.

Rest of the party was like “eeeew corpse”. Corbin was like “Jeez guys, really? Okay fine I’ll look at it, you wusses. It’s dead, it’s not like it’s going anywhere and you already fought its HANDS okay?!” (they were animated undead hands, it was a whole thing)

And surprise surprise, Corbin found key items they were looking for.

These guys are really gonna have to get used to this... >.>

As the team progressed through the haunted prison’s basement area, they came across less pleasant areas, and naturally Corbin went first. Having the most hit points usually gets you that blessing/honor. Also since he’s used to dungeon/crypt delving, he’s got no problem with this.

WELP. So apparently inside this lovely room of awful, there was this haunted Iron Maiden thing (no spikey bits inside, thankfully, it was just supposed to make you THINK there was?), and he saw a specter of someone inside, so ran to help.

So what REALLY happened was I rolled a natural one on my fear check. I was MOST disappointed because this guy has MASSIVE bonuses vs fear?? >.> CORBIN WHY. WHY YOU DO THIS.

ANYWAY, this puzzled the rest of the party, and THOROUGHLY embarrassed Corbin. He will NEVER tell anyone what he saw that day. >.>

Finding more of the Big Nasty Ghosts, this time we came across the one that had been plaguing Corbin. So he figured he should use the related hammer, right?

WELP I’m guessing since I completely utterly failed the planchette reading for said hammer (yay natural 1′s...) it basically just took him over and he went on the offensive immediately.

Unfortunately he had the bad luck of going after Mikael instead of other...targets. Well, you can’t win em all.

Good news, is that he didn’t do too much damage as he was also wracked with extremely painful headaches. Bad news is that he had extremely painful headaches making him extra grumpy later. Sorry, my dudes.

“touch spell” MM HMMMMMM. GEE THANKS.

Damn you Achilles and your sass.

(something something...magic users are just trouble :grumbles:)

I’m back with some more doodles from book 1 - I’m catching up with the rest of the story here before heading onto the rest of our adventures (had some work to catch up on!)

We’re down in the spoooooooky basement and were fighting a bunch of skellies and well, Mikael only had pokey weapons (pfft not my fault I lost the irl warhammer upstairs somewhere, whoops), so he got to improvise with an old bar he found.

So elegant. Much wow.

Follow up to the previous post ;D So after Corbin made it down after a stressfully bad climb check, he was working on those ectoplasms, and... handling things kiiiiiind of okay?

Well Gilver was SUDDENLY worried for his well-being???? and suddenly decided he needed to get down there. Fast.

...and then rolled a 1 on his climb check. Effectively JUMPING down the hole.

Corbin was... confused? Startled? Also really questioning how Gilver survived this long in life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I’m really proud of that last panel so here’s a Leg Appreciation close up:

[asthedierolls]

After the ghosts upstairs were taken care of (bonus Corbin got to slap and yell at Achilles to get him out of a weird ghostly slumber!), it was time to figure out how to get to the basement. Of which the only way down was a ...broken hole...thing that went down into a small pond like body of water.

Shame none of the party had single rank in any climb skills.

The plan was to send Corbin down into the muck and see if there was anything down there, clear a landing space, etc. After all, he kiiiiiiiind of had the most hit points buuuuuuuut Achilles kind of just got this teleport thing???? And was REALLY eager to try it out. And before we could convince him to wait he was...gone.

Ended up aggroing two ectoplasm buddies? It was... well, it was definitely a thing. Lots of hilarity and failed climb checks ensued. Corbin managed to make it down afterwards to at least start taking out what he could see...

Upstairs were a couple of the ghosts haunting our players, one of them being the piper, of which was tormenting poor Gilver. So, in an effort to stall that one, Gilver took out the cursed flute and began to play! It was Most Dramatic and Spooky (and the player drew a MUCH MORE dramatic picture than I did, because uh, after some failed saves Gilver kind of bled from his eyes, fingers, ears n such).

I obviously drew the funnier version. ANGRY DOOTING.

Please enjoy the lovely hands I also drew and were proud of.

Before heading back to Harrowstone, the team is getting a little argumentative over recent revelations. Okay, so really it’s just Achilles and Corbin getting at each other. Just being cranky. Honestly it’s probably just the fact everyone is still having really bad nightmares, headaches, the prison is full of ghosts and everything’s trying to kill us, but hey who’s counting.

Also, Mikael, son, yah can’t handle a drink and Corbin’ll teach you some day.

GOOD NEWS, if I recall, we found out who was at least painting all the letters on the monument (in this case it was poor Kendra who had been possessed by some ghost called the SPLATTERMAN. >.> cause that’s not .... terrifying at all) and she’s being handled at this point to slow down that issue.

Yay!

That gives the crew time to explore the... uh... rest of the area in the upstairs before even trying to go below!

Wheeeeeeeeeee...... Time to get some cursed items out and handle some g-g-g-hosts!
