Forgotten Realms, my old friend.

Recently, my game group resumed it's Forgotten Realms campaign with much fanfare ( if you count us being excited as "much fanfare ). I made a bold move and had the survivors of the ill-fated run in with Ransar Pristoleph in the Palace of Ankhpur sucked through a Zhentarim portal, which was located in the bottom of their keep.

I felt like Ankhpur was becoming stagnant and needed to up the ante, especially after one PC, Padraig the half-orc, was obliterated by a broken magic wand, and two others, Eldan the Exalted halfling monk and Thazar-de the teifling wizard, fell to two Baleful Polymorph spells. Needless to say, the rest of the party was lucky to be alive.

The survivors and Thazar-de's apprentice, Wilimac, a Stronheart halfling, ended up dropped in the middle of ruined Myth Drannor, a very dangerous area of the Realms. I was excited by the possibilities, they were, well, less than excited.

I'll try to expand on their adventures further when I have a chance. Until then, their fate remains unknown.
