RPG - Rolemaster & Adventures in Middle-Earth - Wolfshield 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.

S01E32 Normally, I summarise the previous session here in the notes but John, our GM, does this after a short chat about the weather so a quick summary then: Dwimmerhorn has been scouted and the presence of an ancient evil artefact has been discovered, the party had to escape and are now making their way back to Mountain Hall to tell Lord Hartfast of their discovery.

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.

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...

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.

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.

S01E35 The Temple of Dark Gods claimed two of the party. Although, powerful healing herbs brought them back to life and restored them they are worn out and wish only to rest. Sylke has rejoined the party though the demon haunted city is taking a toll on her mental well-being. The companions need to head back to the palace, rest, recuperate and take stock.

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.

S01E34 One of the Portal rods and the Aisling Stone have been recovered but at a cost. Only Victoria has exited the tomb unscathed. Cran has suffered multiple wounds but will live though the rest of their companions' fates hang in the balance. Numal has been battered into unconsciousness, Ugnan possibly dead with a heart attack and a heavily bleeding Cherry has been mauled by a large silver salamander. Sylke has fled the temple, invisible but alone, surrounded by the demons of Tarek-Nev.

Another Rolemaster actual play with people's faces and everything! RollQuest - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXsiuGoJkSnLWhR6Ziz-sbg

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?
