This thread relates to The Journal of Misha Thundergrove. Since the player who's playing Misha is reading that thread I'm starting this one where spoiler info about the campaign can be posted. In this thread I will also post some of my thoughts and reflections about their progress and the campaign in general.
We played session 4, and the party is doing well so far. They've cleared most of Jzadirune and have continued down into the Malachite Fortress. No fatalities yet, but Vlada the rogue had a close call with the grell and Swyth the bard was down in the negatives after a couple of heavy hits from the stone spike. When the session ended they had just finished the stone spike and the ogre in M2.
One potential problem that I see in the campaign is that the wealth level so far is below what the DMG recommend. I suspect that one of the reasons for that is that the skulks had very little treasure for their CR, and that this will be remedied now in the Malachite Fortress with all the hobgoblins with banded mail and such.
Furthermore the party is beginning to suspect that it's the magic items in Jzadirune that's infected with the Vanishing after the encounter with the gnome wizard illusion in J30. None of them are infected yet, and since they already suspect the source it's unlikely that they will.
How did the rest of you handle the infected items? If the party is unable to sell the magic item's they've found in Jzadirune it will affect their wealth level further.
