Back to a very cold Sequarl in the run up to Yule. Word comes in from Meriad, an outlying settlement in the south west of Sequarl under the stewardship of Grettir’s sister-in-law Sitrin and her husband Vahn, of an attack. Grettir wastes no time in gathering his companions. Paradoxides, Ubaron and Kolgrim summon the Night … Read more
It was not to be a quiet Yule at Sequarl. Grettir was pleased to receive reports from various parts of Sequarl of its inhabitants banding together to drive off orcs and ogres without his personal intervention. Much treasure over the last two decades had gone into improving fortifications and training militias. However, there was word … Read more
On the final night of the Yule feast Grettir and Paradoxides ventured to Black Orc Rock, there to discover what power summoned the Fimbulwinter against Sequarl. Mounted upon the Niherain Steed that no mortal eye could see, they hoped to spy what was afoot and then return with more force. It was supposed to be … Read more
Following hard on the heels of the slaying of the Frost Giant Shaman at Black Orc Rock (G10b), Grettir mounts an expedition to pursue a mixed, group of orcs, hobgoblin wolf riders and what they take to be half orcs seen in the vicinity. They have sledges and are not hard to track in the … Read more
In the night after the events of Eagle in the Snow (G11), the Legate of the 20th Legion comes a-calling. His arrival is not entirely a surprise.

Most of March passed while Paradoxides and Ubaron closetted themselves away in the former’s pad in Basi. They eventually appear in Sequarl with what appears to be a black silk tent and a rolled up carpet. This, they proudly announce to their comrades, is a Meditation Carpet. It will greatly enhance the range of any … Read more
Before venturing back to Bysantos, Grettir took counsel with Eshen, the senior priest at the Temple of Ptah in Chittagong. Ubaron went with him. Eshen was somewhat distracted by an upcoming ceremony in which he would be consecrated as Heirophant. Because of this no-one could really be spared from the temple to join the expedition … Read more
Grettir and his companions had now been twice thwarted in the search for a Phthet of Ptah, that might open the Void and help him rescue the Rangers and Nickar held in some strange time trap. The first Phthet was in Uskedir and held by some sleeping Demon Prince, who he had been warned by … Read more
Over the years, Grettir had come to take teleporting very much for granted. He seldom went anywhere without one of his companions – Paradoxides, Ubaron, Kolgrim, Kojar – with the power to pop him back to Sequarl at the drop of a hat. Combined with Kojar’s clever alarm system of matched runestick pairs, this had … Read more
