Folkmoot - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E40 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 10 Dec 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E40 The spy safely returned to Radagast, much to the ire of Dagmar of Tyrant's Hill, held by Mogdred. Their loyalties may possibly be tending to the Shadow but that is not certain and will require further investigation in the future. But for now, the fellowship have been invited to attend the Folkmoot at Rhosgobel, arranged by a chieftain hoping to gain acceptance by the Woodmen. Most the Woodmen leaders are present, all with an agenda, with some hoping to push that during the meeting. The companions have already spoken to many of them and now it is time for the Folkmoot to start.

S01E39 On the trip back to Rhosgobel, to attend the meeting of local leaders at the Folkmoot, the fellowship dealt with a quartet of hobgoblins who had been camping at some old ruins tainted by evil. They also discovered some fine game and some rare herbs just outside the borders of Radagast's domain. Now at Rhosgobel with time to kill, the companions have decided to help out with some of the duties requested by the Brown Wizard.

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E38 The spider threat removed and the dark underground waters keeping the Goblins at bay, Mountain Hall is safe for now. After resupplying, the fellowship have headed south-east wards, bound for Rhosgobel once again. This time to attend a Folkmoot where the movers and shakers of the Woodmen should be in attendance. After a few uneventful days, the party were investigating some ruins for a likely campsite but it was already occupied by goblin kind, probably Orcs.

Dwarven Treasure - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E37 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E37 Crossing the bridge in the Dwarven mines below Mountain Hall, the fellowship found dark water filled tunnels. Exploring one led to an ambush by yet more spiders. The skirmish was fierce with Hathus's healing and Sigmarr's withering fire employed to full effect. The spiders fled back to their nest but have left Arahad and Monin immobilised with poison. It is time to return to the surface to rest, recuperate and resupply.

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E34 The tapping of goblins working the rock deep beneath them has prompted the fellowship to explore the mines of Mountain Hall to ascertain the level of threat they pose. The underground foray was uneventful until two old rock plugs were discovered, the level of workmanship only possible by dwarven hands. The larger one has been breached and we join the group as they crawl their way through into a part of the mine not explored for thousands of years.

S01E39 Giving up the hunt for Sylke the rogue-less and mage-less companions have continued to look for the final artefact, the other portal rod, in the nearest unexplored major structure. This turned out to be an arena, surrounded by the serpent infested waters of the bay. It appeared largely empty. While investigating one of two rooms off the arena floor, the party were attacked by chained invisible entities that stole Cran's sacred crowbar, Betty and used it to free themselves from their bonds. After a clumsy fight the creatures were slain and it is now time to continue onward.

The Mannish Mines - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E33 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 03 Sep 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E33 On returning to Mountain Hall with news of the evil fortress, The Dwimmerhorn, the companions were accused of ill deeds by Hartfast. The reason for his change of attitude was the presence of their old enemy, Magric. The fellowship argued their case well so Magric, knowing the tide was turning, stabbed Hartfast and fled, only to be cut down by arrows as he floundered in the icy mountain river. The party went to sleep in their rented house, relieved to have a warm bed again. Alas, the rest was short lived as they were assaulted by orcs in the night, the foul band led by the huge orc warrior last seen in the temple at the Dwimmerhorn. The evil creatures were all slain, Hathus again raining down killing blows, but Arahad was knocked senseless in the melee. We join the party after a fellowship phase after 3 or 4 months have passed. Arahad, quickly healed by Hathus after the fight, stayed with the fellowship to travel with them to Rhosgobel. All, except Hathus, spent time cleansing themselves of some shadow points with the scholar instead performing research on the chain, the dark spirit and The Dwimmer horn. Radagast was able to impart some knowledge on all three. The fellowship phase has now finished and the companions are on their way back to Mountain Hall to investigate the mines where Goblins have been heard...

Bad Betty - The Praise Of Old Men S01E38 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

S01E38 The demon possessed Sylke is being hunted by the party. Fighting their way through more child-like demons and their taller whip wielding wranglers, they tracked her to a ruined tower with the help of the blue sprite, one of Mab's servants maybe. Ugnan used a herb to speed himself up to Sylke's location but was unable to hold her with a spell, taking a shock bolt from her for his troubles. Injured, the healer was forced to only watch as Victoria charged off into the dark mists after the fleeing but also bleeding elf.

S01E37 Sylke lost her fight with a shadowy entity which now possesses her. Despite the companions' best efforts, the new owner was able to use the magician's considerable arcane talents to evade capture, running off into the murk of the demon city of Tarek Nev. The hunt for the last artefact must be suspended while she is chased down and somehow restrained.

Pursued - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E31 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 06 Aug 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E31 With Byrgol's help the imposing Dwimmerhorn was found. Much more than a tower it was a collection of several stone buildings atop a steep hill. Clambering up an old goat track, Sigmarr was able to make some initial observations and report back. This threat was too much for Amalfrida who left during the night to warn and help defend her people. Fortunately, a Dunadan ranger called Arahad was also in the area and pledged to help the companions explore the orc filled complex. Following the same path the next morning, the whole group got as far as the walls which everyone except Monin climbed over. Scouting the various buildings all went well until Sigmarr looked inside the temple. Making plans within were a large orc, human and, lying on the floor between them, an ancient withered black robed corpse, with pale skin drawn tight over bones, its unmoving head featureless but for a gleam in its eye-sockets. Also in the temple, was a Coffin-sized casket reinforced with iron bands, displaying an oversized length of chain, each black metal link the size of a human head. The luminescence seems to radiate from the chain itself and most likely the source of the green glow observed on previous nights. A sixth sense Sigmarr didn't know he possessed saves him from detection as he ducks out of sight as the spirit-eyes turn to the upper window, and he and Arahad retreat behind the keep walls. Seconds later, as they are whispering their plans to escape the Dwimmerhorn, a shadowy figure that Hathus recognises as the spirit Irimë spent a long night battling last year slithers around the corner of the keep towards them. The spirit hisses a word in the Black Speech of Mordor, then vanishes. A moment later, the Orc-horns blow...

Old fiend - The Praise Of Old Men S01E36 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E36 Cherry and Numal will take time to recover their wits before venturing out into Tarek Nev again. Fortunately two survivors from a downed skyship have decided to join the group of adventurers. Time will tell if the Laan archer Acor and Snarkel, a Nomari warrior, are adequate replacements. Continuing their search for the final artefact, the other portal rod, the party came upon a stone area inlaid with geometric patterns. In its centre were two fallen figures, one a winged Amarishi. Sylke rushed in to investigate a crown which brought a half spherical barrier down over her. We pick up just after a tall thin demon has risen out of the Amarishi corpse, seeming to recognise the now trapped elf, and has stepped towards her.

The Dwimmerhorn - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E30 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 23 Jul 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E30 On the way back to Mountain hall, the party had to defeat a terrifying Hill Troll. Its lair yielded a nice bag of gold which lifted the companions' spirits. Once at the hold in the mountains, they told Hartfast of Magric's betrayal, Wellar's rescue, Byrgol's aims and that the threat from the Dwimmerhorn was real according to the rescued man. Hartfast would need time to assemble a force to contend with the evil base so asked the party to once again return and find out more about what threat they all faced. They were introduced to a chipper representative of Radagast called Banna who was asked to deliver an update back to the brown wizard. Rested and resupplied, the fellowship headed south with a boat and a small contingent from Mountain Hall, crossed back over the Gladden and with Byrgol's help have now found the imposing Dwimmerhorn, a stone fortress atop a hill. One of the larger building occasionally flickers, lit within by a sickly green light.

Troll slayers - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E29 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 09 Jul 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E29 Previously on: Walar, the slave from the Dwimmerhorn, spoke of the many orcs, wargs and slaves at the evil fortress. With this information the party withdrew northwards to the Gladden to rendezvous with their water transport, manned by two fishermen. They never showed so could be assumed to have been waylaid by orcs. As the adventurers waited they met a hobbit, Byrgol, the last of his community that once thrived in the area. He vowed to one day to resettle the Gladden Fields so his people could prosper once again. The fellowship convinced him and Walar to accompany then north to Mountain Hall but have stopped at Trader's Island first to restock. It is now time to leave.

Cran has suffered multiple wounds but will live though the rest of their companions' fates hang in the balance.

The Last Hobbit - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E28 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 25 Jun 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E28 Previously on: The fellowship have been searching the marshes of the Gladden fields for a dark fortress, the Dwimmerhorn. It was briefly sighted through the mists but was quickly lost again. Trudging through the mud towards the estimated position, the group stumbled into a group of orcs and wolves, led by a Great Orc, who were chasing a man. The party's guide, Magric, betrayed them by warning the evil band of the ambush waiting for them, then fled into the marsh. Battle was joined. Once the Wargs were slain, the orcs, clearly suffering in the sunshine, were no match for the seasoned adventurers, only the Great Orc posing much of a problem before he too fell. The man has been saved, so what's his story?

Hit, Split and Oh Sh... - The Praise Of Old Men S01E33 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 18 Jun 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E33 With more help from the mysterious god, Orgiana, the undead high priests were neutralised but the shadowy spirits remained. A plan was hatched to run past them all and out into relative safety. Alas, the terror they exuded was not factored in and whilst some were able to run the gauntlet others weren't, transfixed by fear. The party are now split. Sylke has run away. Cherry dithers in the corridor beyond the others who try to fight their way through to her, hampered by the gibbering Numal and the overpowering dread of the malevolent shades.

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E27 Squelching along upon the Gladden fields, the fellowship have gone in search of a dark tower, the Dwimmerhorn, trying to ascertain if it exists, its purpose and its master. They were rewarded with the sight of some sort of structure in the distance but, like the gold at the end of a rainbow, could not close the distance until the vision was lost in the mists. Following their instincts, the companions pressed on but were halted by cries of alarm ahead. A manacled desperate man, emerged from the bushes, hotly pursued by orcs and wolves, a fearsome black orc leading them. Before the party could spring their ambush, their guide, Magric, bolted from them, crying out to warn the enemy. We join them just as the battle has started.

S01E32 Two of the three artefacts now recovered, the companions are trapped in an underground chamber by undead spell casting high priests. With Orgiana's help the party were able to fend off the initial assault but three of the deadly shades remain, barrier walls keeping them at bay for now though even those are being relentlessly broken down. As if things weren't bad enough, Victoria is possessed by one of the vanquished foes, we join as she slides behind Cran and lashes out with the deadly doubled bladed scythe, Remorse.

Gladden Fields Betrayal - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E26 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 28 May 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E26 Orcs had been sneaking around Mountain hall but the locals had quickly chased them off though not before a watchman had been assaulted then thrown off the cliff edge. Lucky for him, he had been spotted on a ledge by Sigmarr who organised his rescue. Hathus expertly healed him, saving his life. Hartfast, the leader of Mountain Hall, showed his thanks by making the companions, "Friends of the Berg" and a small celebration was held in their honour. Leaving Mountain Hall, resolved to ultimately check out the dark fortress, Dwimmerhorn, in the Gladden Fields the fellowship made for Trader's Island, an ideal setting off point. The journey was largely uneventful and we join the party as they arrive on the Island.

The Ashling Stone - The Praise Of Old Men S01E31 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 21 May 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E31 A portal rod has been found! Unfortunately it was highly magnetic so could not be moved from its deadly spear spouting metal frame. The irresistible magnetic force announced itself by pulling the platemail wearing Cran onto the pole-arms, spitting him like a kebab. Later, the metal clad Victoria was yanked in too and smashed against the icewall cast to protect against the spears. Seconds from death she was healed in time but it left Ugnan carrying a debilitating injury who was laid down to rest, out of the proceedings for now. As he drifted in and out, he heard Orgiana's voice in his head again, this time giving warning that danger approached and an offer to help. Trying to resist falling any further into the Dark Gods service, he politely refused. Warned of the oncoming threat, the two main warriors, now devoid of metal arms and armour to be able to move about the room, looked for something to defend themselves with just as Numal confirmed the presence of dark shapes stalking down the corridor towards the cornered party...

Friends of the Hall - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E25 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 14 May 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E25 Arriving at Mountain Hall tired, Hathus exhausted even, the newcomers are disarmed but allowed through. Before meeting with Hartfast, head of the House of the Mountain Hall, the companions buy various items from the well stocked trading post. During the audience with an initially suspicious Hartfast, he eventually opens up to tell the fellowship of something afoot down south in the Gladden fields, around an old fort made by evil folk called the Dwimmerhorn. Of more concern to him, however, is the sound of goblin miners deep below the hold. They could break through to his own mines within months and asks Monin to check over the mines and report back in a few days. Dismissed, the party amble to the hall where they partake in good food and drink before retiring for the night, satisfied. The party are awoken in the middle of the night by shouts of alarm. We join them as Amalfrida has just looked outside the lodgings into the dark of night to try to spot the cause of the disturbance.

Dark attraction - The Praise Of Old Men S01E30 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 07 May 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E30 The caged statue was the representation of an unfollowed god, Orgiana. Most the players communed with her but only Ugnan took pity upon her and, seeing nothing untoward in her manner, agreed to follow her in return for her helping bring the search for the Portal Rods and the Aisling Stone to an end. The Goddess told her new acolyte where the stone was but first the party explored the rest of the temple, discovering altars to the twelve dark gods and four rooms, each with a Soulstone able to bring back the dead. Ugnan realised his mistake too late but, deal struck, the party headed towards the stairs leading down to where their first artefact should lie.

Mountain Hall - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E24 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 30 Apr 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E24 A job well done, the fellowship took a break for a few months. Amalfrida decided to spend time with her people back at Beorn's Hall. Hathus and Monin travelled south to Rhosgobel opening it up as a sanctuary. While there, Monin's despair lessened but Sigmarr, back at Woodland Hall, was unable to shake the grip of dark foreboding from his experience in Irimë's harrowing dream. Hearing reports of shadow, Radagast tasked the party to head north to Hartfast of Mountain Hall. This woodman leader should know of any evil doings in the area. Gaining gifts from the brown wizard, the fellowship headed back into the wilderness where they were set upon by wolves. Victorious, the friends continued their journey.

The Acolyte of Orgiana - The Praise Of Old Men S01E29 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 23 Apr 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E29 The tall skeletal guardians inflicted a wound on Sylke that was beyond Ugnan's healing spells. Fortunately, the party had a powerful herb that, once brewed and prepared, could knit her shattered wrist back together. After taking the opportunity for a longer rest, they headed back out to the temple again. The oppressive darkness inside resisted light causing the lanterns to only be half as effective. Undaunted, the companions strode on in, trying to keep together as something, creeping high up along the walls too far up into the black void to make out, was stalking them. They were rewarded when they discovered a central dais that held a statue of a woman wreathed in flame but surrounded by vertical bars. This caged statue was the same that Cherry had seen in her vision. The Aisling stone was nearby! But first, the party had to find stairs leading down to it. Trying to find away into the "cage" around the statue, Cran had used his trusty crowbar, Betty, to attempt to bend the bars. This was met with a warning and, alas, a fireball. We join them as that explodes.

Radagast's task - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E23 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E23 Continuing their escort of Irimë, the companions found themselves once again at the place where they had fought the Night-Wight. During the night, a foul shadow descended upon the camp forcing everyone into a vivid shared dream. This vision took the companions on a journey of despair with first, the fall of a town to treachery and finally, to enslavement of the survivors where they rotted in cells under the Hill of Sorcery. Eventually, the combined will of Irimë and the party vanquished the shade's hellish nightmare. The fellowship awoke as the wight fled before the break of dawn and the arrival of the sons of Elrond. The companions had succeeded in delivering Irimë.

Rolemaster Hardcore Mode - The Praise Of Old Men S01E28 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 09 Apr 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E28 Recovering from the shock of the forced gender change, the explorers moved south to encounter another small group of the childlike demons. Cran charged in but quickly realised his mistake when the demons were joined by others lurking in the murk surrounding the now beleaguered companions. Although eventually victorious, the amount of healing required afterwards forced Ugnan into unconsciousness. Once the healer was awake, the party ventured out towards a temple bearing many scars from a determined siege. Immediately upon opening the large entrance doors that depicted an impressive woman, two skeletons arose from a pile of scorched bones. Remember: Due to a Fantasy Grounds bug, all rolls are in the open, let's hope for kind criticals!

Victoria - The Praise Of Old Men S01E27 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E27 After not disturbing the beings at the gazebo, the party moved south to hop over a wall to the area dubbed the "Nobel quarter". In an almost one sided fight, the companions quickly dispatched five demons resembling children, though children with oversized heads, razor sharp teeth, venom tipped claws and a hunger for humanoid flesh. Continuing south east, they came upon a large statue of a naked man. We join them just after Victor, looking for a secret way, snapped off the man's phallus...

Last session took them to a mausoleum with a dark portal, an enclosed grey forest with skeletal creatures and weird spooky entities that as anyone entered, inscribed their name in some sort of roll of the dead. We ended the episode as the party were attacked by blindingly fast creatures that could hurl discs with incredible force and accuracy.

V'rama Vair's captives - The Praise Of Old Men S01E22 ( Rolemaster RPG actual play )

Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:00:00 +0000

S01E22 The search for the two powerful artefacts has taken the party to a three story building, far more intact than others in the city. Exploring it has revealed areas for a throne, idol and huge black obelisk on the bottom floor. In the circular tower that forms the upper levels, the party find steel doors that ward some of the rooms and what appears to be an armoury or museum of sorts.

A locked steel door protects an inner library but aside from a disappointingly (and deeply mysterious) empty sack, the bookshelves and chamber are empty. And still nothing moves or threatens the party despite the low constant thumping noise emanating from Cran's sword….

S01E21 Defeating the demon and the two creatures that have been attracted to the fight by the power of Shieldbreaker, the companions head deeper into the darkness, hoping to navigate their way to the large construction they can remember from their brief high pass over the city in their airship. Ugnan needs time to recover from the injuries he removes from Victor but, white-faced as he is, the party relentlessly head deeper into the wasted heart of Tarek Nev.

Recovered after the fight with the silver blooded demons, the companions head further along the wall hoping it takes them to a large building they want to explore. In the swirling murk, more strange sounds and sights can be perceived. Are those children's voices?

S01E16 The trail of the fugitive Beorning, Oderic, has led the party to the hamlet of Stonyford. After an initial frosty reception, the fellowship feasted with the locals who imparted a number of rumours around the circumstances of the killing.

Now within Terek-Nev, in search of two ancient artefacts, the fellowship resolved to head to a large building, ignoring all distractions.

Stonyford - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E15 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Thu, 14 Nov 2019 22:00:00 +0000

Previously, the fellowship came across Beorning warriors slain by orcs. They had been guarding a prisoner who escaped in that attack. On bearing the bad news to Beorn, the huge warrior tasked the group to track down the fugitive, Oderic and bring him back for justice. The trail has led the party to Oderic's home, the small hamlet of Stonyford.

This episode we're missing Amalfrida's player, Stuart. It's also almost a double length episode as I wanted to get all of our time on Stonyford into one episode. Sorry about that, I'll try to keep them a bit shorter when I can.

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 23:01:40 +0000

Last episode, with the winter over, the company headed up along the Anduin, where they found the bodies of two slain Beornings in a boat on the river. Investigating their deaths revealed that the two were slain by Orc arrows, and probably guarded a prisoner who escaped during the attack. One of the men was a well-known Thane of Beorn, called Merovech. This episode sees the party make a sombre journey to deliver the two corpses to Beorn’s Hall...

Previously, the party caught up to the missing hobbit Dindi at a ruined hillfort but were then set upon by wolves, goblins and orcs. As the evil band charged up the steep hill they were peppered with arrows. We join them as the distance is closed further and threat becomes real of being overrun.

As reminder, Chris, Brother Hathus' player, couldn't make this session and Stuart, Amalfrida's player, had drop out midway due to technical issues so we end up a bit short staffed this time.

Last episode the party stayed in an hobbit run inn and learned of the disappearance of the owner's brother, Dindy. After delivering Bard's message to Beorn, the party started their search for Dindy. As they camped one night, they were set upon by an evil shadowy being. It first took Brother Hathus then came back for others but was finally driven off by Sigmarr's fire. Hathus was found the next morning, shaken but unhurt, along with the remains of a torc. After resting, the party resolved to head into the foothills to continue the search...

Oops! - In the Shadow of the Mountains S01E08-9 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )

Fri, 05 Jul 2019 11:00:00 +0000

I messed up! I did not record the audio properly for our last session so what would have been episode 9 will have to wait until next session (28th July 2019). This podcast is just a 6 minute summary of the unrecorded session. Sorry! We'll check all our microphones from now on!

Last episode, as the party journeyed west with a message bound for Beorn, they received a significant artifact dear to Woodman Hall, fought a tentacled monstrosity at a well then finally made it to Rowanhold.

This should have been an Adventures in Middle Earth Actual Play using Fantasy Grounds.

You can still find session summaries, items and characters on Obsidian Portal where our campaign is called "In The Shadow of The Mountains". ( https://intheshadowofthemountains.obsidianportal.com/ ) This session is in the Adventure Log entitled "2946 TA, Episode 5" and is what I read from to give the summary in this podcast.

I spliced them together but have not edited them so they are in their non jump cut state. Expect pauses, "ums", "ahs", game mechanics talk, non game chat and an altogether more raw experience than normal. Normal service will be resumed next episode. Anyway...
