The Vanishing Tower

The PCs arrive at the gates of Galuga. Now to find the princess in this massive monolith of stone!

On the trail the PCs are attacked by the fearsome Natal Hillmen, monsteras half-giants dedicated to the necromancer Arkanath Maul.

The bloody and unforgiving world of Xoth is home to many reavers treading the jeweled paths in search of adventure. Here is one such tale!

Our first annual and its a dozy, the Death of Coriolis! You heard about, but you couldn't believe? Don't go away, Nefarious News Network has the footage, the evidence authorities don't want you to see!

The PCs face off for another go at Xecula, Ruinstar, and Black Paladin. But there are some other demands being placed on their time.

The PCs lick their wounds at Mettle's downtown Capitol City loft, and take a look at the new PC, a 25,000 spirit warrior who, until just recently, was buried in a Danish bog.

What? Is that a new character in the game?

Cracking open the old live stream recordings and getting the show back on its feet!

The Even Heroes Bleed comic book universe keeps getting bigger! The previous adventures of Ultra-Rosa are recorded in the special cross over episodes featuring a new Game Master (I played the NPC vigilante Ultra-Rosa), and we had an opportunity to continue the comics line recently when Mr. Zozo's Player couldn't make the session. Needing a name for when Mettle's Player takes the reins of the campaign world I've decided (in the spirit of The Punisher) Ultra-Rosa's comic will be called Capitol City Crime Journal - The Red Report! I won't be around for the next session so we all decided this side adventure will continue in Mr. Zozo's own "comic", Road to Redemption featuring the Macabre Mr. Zozo. So listen further as Ultra-Rosa and The Olympian team up together for the first time and investigate the rash of murders involving the Church of the New Revelation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vanishingtower/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vanishingtower/support

This session suffered the error of having mine (the GM's channel) vocals “off” during the recording/live streamed session. It has been edited to keep the players dialogue in tac and preserved here for the records. Session recap: Bug couldn't make it so we spent the session on developing subplots going on in the game. Olympian gets a request from the FBEE to tour Fordhem ChemTech with Agent Madhur. Seems high tech firms in and around Capitol City are getting broken into and their proprietary technology being stolen. At the end of the session this is where the party ends up. Mettle arranges for the Mayor to make his monthly payment to keep our heroes off his back. He demands Jimmie Mac be the currier. The North Elmview meet does not go as planned as Ultra Rosa shows up and says she needs the $400K and Mettle reluctantly agrees to let her have it, in the interest of avoiding bloodshed. This is the Olympian's first encounter with the violent vigilante. Mettle takes a meeting with Shango, the reformed gang leader of the Fallen Angles. Mettle will fund the purchase of a building in Elmview and he wants Shango and his crew to run a trade school for the disenfranchised there. Shango says he will believe it when he sees it. On Monday Olympian goes to Fordhem ChemTech to make a security assessment of the facility with Phillip Madhur, FBEE. A Dr. Janet Shane takes them on a tour of the facility. During the tour the high-tech thieves attack and the PCs engage!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vanishingtower/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vanishingtower/support
