Vondals Vandals: The Church of Sun and Shadow
The pyramid crumbled, the rod burned and Akmenos was back among us. We accompanied the ethereal spirit of Veralis to her home. After long weeks of turmoil escaping the pyramid of shadow the road was a welcome respite. Feasting made way to laughter and we all learned a little more about each other. Veralis kept mostly herself, while Akmenos spoke ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Karivakos numbered
Traversing this dimensional pyramid I had begun to have my doubts whether this was a prison for Karivakos or not. So often had we seen fragments of his soul taken vile form. So often had we cut them down. Were we just paying into his hands, killing him over and over again so that his soul would return to him and make him whole ( Read more... ) -
Mage the Ascension and why it is so hard
So I'm running a one off Larp in a couple of weeks which will include a couple of Mages and I find myself wondering what have I got myself into. Mage 2nd Ed is a fantastic game with some brilliant ideas and a whole new way of looking at the world ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Throne of Bone
We chased the last fragment of Karavakos soul through his infernal prison to a room overgrown with bones and seeping death from every corner. We knew it would be too much for the skeletal giants and flaming skulls that stood between him and us to be his prison wardens. Whatever they had been in life, the dark magics of Karavakos had turned them ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Visions of the dead
We have destroyed two embodiments of Karavakos, but we have yet to find the third and free ourselves from this foul prison. And now it seems he is toying with us, visions of him seem to be everywhere we turn. First a pale imitation of his actual power, then an illusion designed to lure us into a trap. Our caution would have prevented the trap being ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
When I get the chance I'll probably write a much longer lj entry about making this short film over Easter, including lots of photos. For the moment though here is what wyldcard, my brother and I made over Easter. I think our set turned out awesome, despite some setbacks in the building process and I particularly like my opening dolly shot ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Into the cold
The next portal took us to the frozen wastes of the pyramid and right into the lair of a white dragon. Veralus spied an amethyst stone amongst the dragon's hoard, another part of her fractured soul. Explaining to Harkill afterward that we were carrying around the soul of an evil invoker warlord in the body of a friend and the head and spiritual ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: The cult of the Great One
Thrullzon vexes me more and more with each passing day. He seems to have no understanding of morality or even civility. I can only say that I am glad I didn't live in his time, and that I hope he will never truly get to live in ours ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Two down
It has been an eventful few days since we vanquished the first sliver of Karivakos. A foul bewitching demon that hid behind his minions, only be sheathed in Thrullzon's darkness and cast into oblivion by my axe and Enna's blade ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Showdown
The giant tree finally fell beneath our blows hut not before we had suffered mist mightily. Blood caked our clothes, our armor, my shield. I fell to my knees sucking in the tainted air of the indoor grove. It was only the unnatural light that reminded me we were still in the pyramid hunting down Karivakos, an ancient enemy of times past.
The roots ( Read more... )
