Vindalf leads Gemwin, Jendry, and Grom on an exploration of several levels of Dragonfang Mountain. First, they discover a secret room where a dwarf druid lived, and his magical treasures, then they discover some scary creatures the gnomes were keeping as mounts. They find a hidden entrance used by the gnome cultists. They descend back down to the river level, and find a saferoom guarding a spot where an elevator once worked. Vindalf becomes a giant frog to go across the river and bring back a boat there, and they all cross back together. They ascend a tunnel that takes them back up near their original entry point, where they find several dwarven tombs. They explore a streambed and find a nest of stirges and an old adventurer corpse. Ascending up another staircase, they find a dwarven trap that spews fire, and a blocked off iron gate with some orcs beyond it. Descending again, they go all the way back down to the storeroom level by the river, explore a flooded storeroom, and hole up for another short rest.

Hexcrawl 100 - Dragonfang Mountain River and Cultists
Happy 100th episode of the campaign! Jendri takes the lead of the dwarven expedition into the ruins within Dragonfang Mountain, with Gemwin, Grom, and Vindalf (Hokan has wandered off). First we discuss some rules changes, proposed adventuring company bylaws, and various rooms and teams efforts. Then the expedition finds a storage room with a vertical shaft, then a room with an underground river and a hidden crawl-tunnel, which they follow. At the other end, they fight some rats and a hook horror, then make their way across the river and up some stairs into more dwarven ruins, where they encounter some gnomish cultists of Urdlen the Crawler Below. They end up in a big battle with the cultists and their pet umber hulk, which Gemwin is able to lock down with his paladin abilities (leading to some rules consternation that we'll discuss out of game).

Hexcrawl 99 - Journey to Dragonfang Mountain
Gemwin leads a dwarven expedition with Grom, Vindalf, Hokan, and Jendri in search of the ruined dwarfhold of Dragonfang Mountain. They visit Llorkh and the other PCs, then follow the road East toward the Dawn Pass, discovering the Valley of Huvrathe (with its weird plants) on the way. Once there, they discover several possible ways into Dragonfang Mountain. When they are spotted by orc guards, they opt for a hidden tunnel, which brings them in to a series of natural caves. They battle some troglodytes and a bear, find a magical sword in a mold-infested corpse, investigate some fungi, and descend near a waterfall to a section where they hole up in an abandoned storeroom.

Hexcrawl 98 - Exploring around Runedarth
Grom (a life cleric) leads fellow dwarves Gemwin (paladin), Hokan (rogue), and new adventurers Jendri (warlock) and Vindalf (druid) to explore the regions around Runedarth in the Greypeak Mountains. The dwarves fight off a goblin ambush and learn the location of a crag cat lair, they find the grave cairn of a cloud giant, and they nearly lose some of their mounts to recurring manticore Karg, who is always hungry for a meal or a story. They discover a ruined garrison where they suspect Duergar are hiding, then make their way north to Axeholm to collect supplies before venturing in search of new dwarfhold ruins to liberate and explore.

Hexcrawl 97 - Salt Seclusium of Savras Pt 2
Hokan leads VS, Neville, Kain, and Render (and his shield guardian M.I.C.H.A.E.L.), along with paladin of Mystra Valorean, in a search for the evil wizard Sikhil and his associate Chingis in the Salt Mine Seclusium. They explore some tunnels, investigate some strange machinery, tangle with the Yellowbone Goblins a bit, and eventually end up on the lower levels of the complex. In a large pool, they fight some aquatic ghouls, and then eventually find the lair of Chingis and the lich-aspirant diviner Sikhil (and their pet ogre). Render gets banished to a maze demiplane, which drives M.I.C.H.A.E.L. crazy. Chingis drops Hunger of Hadar on the Party, Sihkil drops a Fireball, Neville turns invisible and drops Darkness on Sikhil, who teleports across the room to cause more havoc. With several players on the edge of death, they manage to defeat Sikhil and Chingis and claim some spellbooks, a Robe of Tongues, a Crossbow of Whispers, and a few other items and treasure. Valorean guides them back to town where they can recover from their adventures for a while.
