Actual Play – Lost in Translation (Eberron) #1 (8/22-9/15/20)

So, this is a campaign write-up from almost a year ago now that I never got around to finishing because… Life Happened in a few major ways. The campaign has since been put on probably-eternal hiatus, but I cared for it dearly and also felt a stab of guilt every time I saw this report sitting my drafts. I’ve cleaned up what I already had written to the best of my ability and left the rest as notes. Huge, inexpressible thanks to my wonderful DM and co-player for this game; it was a fantastic experience and I wish we could’ve played more.


System: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition – Eberron: Rising From the Last War

The Clouded Eye sees all…

Here’s our motley crew of scoundrels! We are playing with the Organization/Group Patron rules in the Eberron book pretty much as they’re written.

Steel (Andrew) is an amnesiac Warforged searching for his missing past. He assumes his memories were lost when he was damaged in the war, and recalls nothing prior to being repaired by our gang members. His analytical ability and mechanical expertise set him up as the Safecracker of the group. [Class: Artificer (battlesmith)]

Raen’llar “Raen” of House Aleanviir (Sab) Raen`llar is a Sulutar Drow who was recently ousted from his home and brought to Khorvaire. He misses Xen’drik and has little desire to adapt to life overseas. After getting into trouble with the law, Raen was promised sanctuary and assistance by the gang. He is the Burglar of the squad, providing stealth and agility etc. [Class: Monk (way of mercy)]

the group’s emblem

The Clouded Eye is the name of our venturous little gang; a crew of shadowy smugglers looking to carve out a foothold in the Lower City. We specialize in covert acquisition and retrieval, smuggling goods up to our lair in the Central Plateau via of our front operation, the friendly neighborhood Clawfoots Courier service…

Not long ago, these were but lofty ambitions. But now that the PCs have joined the gang, things are beginning to take shape… Could breaking into the burgeoning drug market be the big break the Eye has been looking for? [Patron type: Crime Syndicate].

A Semester at St. Sacred Lily…

I recently* had the opportunity to test out In the Language of Flowers, my first-ever Fiasco playset, and finally got around to putting together the play report!

Huge thanks to my friends Jade, Athena, and Eupho for playtesting with me! The session was a lot of fun and we ended up with some great characters. Full play-by-play below the cut. Enjoy!

*3 months ago; time is a construction.
