I think we're going to go all the way. We have lost two players, bringing our group from 6 to 4. I was able to kill them off dramatically in the fight with Nicodemus at Methia. For character specific plots: Irony is being set up to become a new Elven goddess to replace Srasama. Right now it's...

Applied Eschatology Hello, we’re still alive. To everyone that followed this thread, I apologize for disappearing. I started doing graduate work, and updating this thread keeps falling down the chain of things I need to do. Our group is still running Zeitgeist. We’re starting in on the Last...

Thanks for reposting the stuff that got lost Eamon. I'm afraid I've fallen behind on updating this thread again. I moved in July and started working on a graduate degree, so I haven't quite worked out the time to draft long posts and prep for the actual sessions just yet.

The Lady and the Liar Delft dropped the constables off at the docks to make their arrangements and headed back to HQ himself. An unusual sight and an irate first mate greeted the constables when they arrived at their ship. The waters about the Arboretum were teeming with huge schools of fish...

Political Meddling The adventure opens with the constables at the Governor’s Mansion in Flint. Governor Roland Stanfield is keen to ask the RHC’s help with some problems around the city. He hopes that the constables’ local celebrity and history of problem solving will expedite some local...

A Gathering of Minds I liked the idea of the teaser segment. I let the players pick whichever Ob officer they wanted to roleplay as. The group of conspirators led by Leone Quital traveled by ship and carriage to an old abandoned mansion on a remote island. There they met Han Jierre, the...

Foreshadowing That's all of the meetings with Cal between adventures. I used them as a vehicle to ask each player what they envisioned for their characters in the future and set up some options for epic destinies later on. We've already started the next adventure, although they haven't left...

Requiem for a Goddess Irony met with Calaphax at the Navras Opera for a showing of “The Marriage of Achaea and Hibiscus”. Calaphax asked Irony why she continued to place her faith in a dead god. Irony responded that it was about having faith in what Srasama represented and staying true to her...

Whither the Crown Kirk met Calaphax in his office at the RHC’s headquarters in Flint. Calaphax asked Kirk what he thought of King Aodhan. Kirk told Cal that he was staunchly loyal to the king and supported his decisions. Cal pointed out that King Aodhan was getting old, and someone else would...

Heir to the Burning Mountain Rai chose to meet Calaphax at the devil’s own manor in North Shore. Cal immediately asked Rai what question he had asked of the Akashic Orb. Rai told him, and Cal quickly scoffed at his choice. He told Rai that the only path to peace was power. Only unparalleled...

The Bugbear’s Past Maddox decided to meet with Calaphax in an upscale restaurant in Bosum Strand. During the dinner, Cal asked if Maddox still had trouble remembering his past. Maddox had originally been human until a mission in the Anthras Mountains had left him gravely injured, a different...

The Gunsmith’s Legacy Bellicose chose to meet with Calaphax in his workshop at his family’s gun shop. Cal asked Bellicose what he planned to do with his life. Bellicose told him that he wanted to leave the world a better place and secure his family’s legacy. His family had fled Danor a few...

Docker’s Date with the Devil Cal contacted each of the constables, offering to meet them at a location of their choice. Doran decided to meet Calaphax at the Thinking Man’s Tavern. They shared drinks while listening to the amateur philosophers pontificate. After some idle banter about the...

Plot Ex Machina Amongst Tinker’s schematics and belongings, the constables found a strange metal orb. Though it radiated strong magic, they were unable to decipher its function or purpose. Rai held on to the orb for safekeeping. Tinker and Lya were delivered to high security cells in the RHC...

It turned out really well considering the party's track record with hostage situations (Bellicose will never live that down). I'm also planning on tweaking encounters going forward. I've noticed in 4e that combat encounters can really start to drag on. It's not an issue with your encounter...
