Message:We finished the dungeon in the Bewitched Realms, gaining the Goblet of Elixirs.
We fought Trolls and Dwerg, a new cross between Goblins and Dwarf.
We reached Rivendell and found it overrun. We tried to hold the line but eventually retreated. Better Valor. Pax used the Elven Presss to create two new scrolls but destroyed four others in the process. He also lent a scroll to be copied by players, only to see bad rolls consume that too. We are either not listening or not understanding certain aspects of play. But we seem to thrive regardless.
The Blue Maiar were seen briefly and bestowed gifts of Stats. We later advanced to Book Two in our campaign and all added one to every Stat.
A few Magic Items were discovered and pocketed. Yet the gods are now wanting praise.
