Phase 1 Map:
State of expedition as of may 5th, 2025

May 3, Sunday
Expedition 1

Party Ventured towards I8.
While passing M10 and L10 noted large continuous spider Web.

I8 encountered Ankhegs, guarding a nest.
Two party members were temporarily downed and one was killed.

Farther into the woods, saw a Tyrannosaurus, as well as four small raptors.

Found a ruin, Millenia old. It had a circle of standing stones, which appear to have runes on them. Runes and stones appeared deliberately damaged, as though struck With a hammer.

However, the Miasma did not extend into the circle. When standing inside it voices stopped. Took rubbings of the damaged runes, though they were so heavily damaged they are unlikely to be useful.

Headed back to port meridian for cleansing.

May 2nd, Saturday
Wrath of the Small – Expedition 3

Went to explore ruins near Town, with a rogue From the Obelisk Collegium.

O16 found millennia old ruins, attacked by Stirges. Found on old road which we followed to next hex. (Hex explored)

O17 fought a constrictor snake, scouted Hex. Found a large Yuan-ti statue with V rune on the front. Yuan-ti’s orb lit-up and projected mind words.

Paraphrased:
“You stand before the threshold, are seen and measured.
Rune is not symbol, is Alignment.
Star is not light, is Law.
Those before bent the sky… were broken by it.
You will be tested in knowledge, precision, will. Failure will be culled.
Step forward Aspirant!”

Returned to Port Meridian, stalked by dinosaurs.
Exp 4: went back out next day to O17, encountered shambling vines in O16, avoided and went to Statue,
Found ruins behind statue, (maybe test?), had an incident with traps, and activated azure fiend casting.

April 30th, Thursday
The Wanders

First Expedition of The Wanderers, We traveled to M15, found a Grick and then found a Grell – the creepy tentacles with the Brain. Also got Stalker by x3 dinosaurs with frills on L15. We were able to deceive them with the grick meat and so we got away.

Then on K15 we found a river and waterfall and there was some old Bridges and a Cave with an older man who seems to have had too much time in the fog, he might be crazy.

April 29th, 2026 – Wednesday
Directionally Challenged
Expedition 2

We took a long rest and cleansed the Miasma. Stayed for 4 days to craft scale mail armour at Port Meridian. 

Akemenos spoke to Provost. Mentioned we should check out the henge and get rubbings of ruins.

Went to Henge – 5 upright standing stones. They all have 5 giant ruins. As they are approached a hum comes from the Henge.

Had visit from Commodore Ilara Sorn. She gave us a map that reflects boundaries of Stormwall (Stormwall could be moving). She asked us to test boundaries to confirm coordinates.

Took ship to Hex P16: Close to shore. Remarkably calm. We see dinosaur. Stegosaurus does not seem affected by miasma.

Hex Q17: See another Grick, carry on to S18.

Hex S19: See several humanoids. They follow use. We left them behind. We continue and find large ruins on how hills at the end of Hex S19.

Find orrery with green dragon in it. Dragon is friendly. Made rubbings of ruins.

Dragon is named Veltherix. Orrery seems to be magic. Virexian Dragon. Hop on ship and head back.

Hex T19: Sort of Beholder emerges. Moving faster than the ship.

April 25, 2026 – Expedition 2
Wrath of the small

Took a boat up the coast, and encountered a shipwreck at Hex J4.

HexJ4: 4 Harpies on a shipwreck in a reef.
The fight went well, found some magic items.
The boat had a journal indicating it was not part of the charter and appeared to be a few years? old.

Returned to Port Meridian, no incidents.

Addendum: A Quick trip out the gates, just a few feet.

Miasma seemed thicker at night, and felt as if we were being observed by one or several presences. Saw skeletons outside, attacked them (why? a quick trip huh?) Corbin downed, brought up, dissociated and attacked us briefly, then we retreated back into the gate.

Wednesday April 22nd, 2026
Expedition 1

Party ventured close to coastline on Hex Q16: Grick is observed on the beach, Almost died. We have all been exposed to miasma

Grick is dead. Bodger unconscious.
Traveled back to Port Meridian for a Miasma Cleanse. Bodger in need of 3 days to cleanse Miasma.

April 18th, 2026 – Saturday Morning
Expedition 1
Wrath of the Small

Party ventured North up the Coast in search of a reported Shipwreck about halfway to the Stormwall. On Charter Ship.

Observed on the coastline:

• Hex K9: skeletons observed on bench, swords.
• Hex H8: Axebeaks spotted on shore, Dangerous! Behaving as expected – Unaffected by the mist? Bright Plumage, Possibly a new Species!
• Hex F6: Zombies, very old clothing, tattered, not from the Charter.
• Hex E5: Attacked by a Wyvern on the boat, which killed Faith in one strike and attempted to flee with her corpse. Was struck down before it could reach the trees. Ventured ashore to harvest the corpse when a Bone Naga emerged. We retrieved Faith’s corpse and the wyvern tail and retreated to the ship, while the Bone Naga retreated into the trees with the remaining wyvern corpse. The Naga refused attempts to communicate (sentient but in the fog-undead resists?)

Returned to Port Meridian for Resurrection, encountered nothing on the return (Travelled through deeper winter, no coast view.)
