I am a self proclaimed nerd, and I play a lot of Dungeons and Dragons, so of course, I decided to live tweet tonight’s session.
Due to poor timing, my live tweet happened to be Part 2 of a 3 part adventure, so I had to start my thread with a very brief re-cap of what happened last time.
For those who want a longer Re-cap:
The party works for the Candlekeep Library and was sent to a small island that has crossing to another plane: the Shadowfell. This island is home to a clan of Wereravens that normally keeps the mainland updated about the goings on. However, they haven't touched base for a while. So we were sent to investigate.
There we discovered that the Wereravens had become feral and hybridized, and that Something was trying to break through into the Prime Material Plane.
Following the re-cap, my live tweets follow the party as they explore the remainder of the Brantifax Chalet. Along the way, the party finds an old journal, the ghost of a young girl, and the one remaining non-feral Wereraven.
After asking the Wereraven what exactly is happening and what is coming through, he offers to open a portal to the Shadowfell so that the Party can fight and destroy Ornathak before he can breach the Material Plane.
The party agrees and finds themselves in the eerie plane that is the Shadowfell. There some denizens of the realm begin to swarm them, including a swarm of living cobblestones, some giant bats and some leech-like creatures called Wretched’s.
At this point, the time between posts slows significantly, as I only posted the major points of the battle. In D&D, combat takes a lot of real time, (no need to get into the mechanics here, but a battle that lasts minutes in-game can last for hours in the real world), so while tweets become less frequent, they are still in real time because I had to wait for those major points.
After finishing off the first set of threats, the party continues on to find Ornathak. Unfortunately, it got too late in the real world to continue playing, so the session had to end, leaving the final boss until next time.
