Scroll Potion Potion, ARCHITRAVE--Five wakelings manifest as avatars amid a temple ruin beneath the red-shrouded clouds of Turret quinze, interrupting a binding ritual performed by the leader of a band of goblins also present at the site. Through intimidation, the party of avatars earns a quest to rid the under-temple of its current occupants and a potential reward of the would-be sacrificial victim, a gnome who calls himself Weewussy Xaweenie.


Serial: Time Changes Colors
Venue: Delver Down!

The quests

Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition codifies the notion of experience awards for story-based objectives. Successful completion of a major quest is worth XP equal to an encounter of the party level. A minor quest is worth a single monster of the party level. These are your current quests.

  • Escape from goblins (major)
  • Free gnome sacrifice victim (minor)

Photo album

Thanks to Karim for taking a few photos during the session. I created a Delver Down! photo album on Gamefreaks Meetup. Delvers are welcome to post their own Delver Down! photos to the album.

Wakeling knowledge

This may be the first time you have manifested an avatar on the wheel, but other wakelings have gone before you. Though they are few, a certain number of them have left traces of their experience in the Wakeling Knowledge Base. You can use them to add to your own wakeling knowledge.

A wide, wild, wired world!
This is my introduction to the following story.

Miri in the Mirror
Join Mirabourne, an erstwhile novel character, and Professor Oozenphlael, an unusually intelligent, air-breathing, floating fish, in their ultimately successful adventure to escape Miri's long-time prison. An online collaboration between myself and another of your fellow wakelings, Skyrender, this story is a first-hand account of events on the wheel.

Fatal, Fuzy, Flying Fury
This is the dreamlog from a session that took place near Battle at Moonfell Gorge, wherein Michael's hairy, flying dwarf avatar, Thragnarok, met a tentacled creature that nearly strangled him.

When the creature turned up later on Satellite 6, we learned that its name is Quarrian. The last time we saw Quarrian, it had escaped Satellite 6 in a tardif-bound cargo vessel. Better watch out for that!

A Walk in the Direction of the Eternal
I visit the wheel whenever I have a good long stretch of billow-minutes ahead of me. I relate my experiences to you through the adventures I run and through the occasional story on the Paradigm. This story contains some practical information.

Observations on the Wheel
And this one tells you what a billow-minute is.
