Gutbur’s Grand Adventure
Dungeons & Dragons Online

Hail *NOR/!
This is the very last week of Hardcore Season V! For reasons unknown, the developers of DDO only made the season last two months instead of the standard three; with December’s holidays and the hustle of January, the guildies who participated struggled to achieve the various targets that the Hardcore server had set. We are hopeful that in the future, the Hardcore season returns to its regular three-month duration, as we, the players have work, children, grandchildren, other hobbies, and lives outside of the game!
Once Hardcore is over, we will return to our leveling, attempts for various reincarnation and completionist goals, and the enjoyment that comes with playing with fellow *NOR/ guild members.
See you in-game!

There have been some major changes in Neverwinter with the introduction of module 22 the “Dragonbone Vale”. The new area has three factions to get reputation with. By getting this rep you will be able to get new gear and weapons.
There is also a new 10 player trail. So lots of questing to do now. Another major change is the way the enchantment works for your characters. This is a major change that is hard to explain without getting in the game and checking it out. These changes give the players something to work for in the game. There are several new heroic encounters and challenging mobs to fight so it promotes more teamwork than the Sharandar mod 21 offered.
Cryptic Studios and Perfect World were recently bought out by Embracer Company. I don’t know what this holds for the future of Neverwinter but hopefully it will be good changes.
So we would love for you to come join us in Neverwinter.

Gutbur’s Grand Adventure

Hail*NOR/
The tabletop group started playing through Gutbur’s Grand Finale last night! I’m excited to see how the story will end. Unfortunately, you will have some time to wait because I have just posted the third installment of the adventure this mornings.
The rest is coming! I had wanted to wait till completing a fresh illustration per session episode…but that seems to be taking to long. So now I will just publish them has things get formatted and finalized. I will leave you with a early sketch of the session three illustration:)

- Gutbur’s Grand Adventure: Session #009The Adventure Continues… (Lasarian): Sorry for fermenting your post so long. [Gutbur]: As I am in the company of the Elk, I would follow their lead. Pillaging two people seems more like just robbing them, which I am ambivalent about. Tempting though … I haven’t had a chance to RP some good old fashioned pillaging….

You no longer suffer from exhaustion. The tent is currently empty. [Gutbur]: I’m alone in the…
- Gutbur’s Grand Adventure: Session #007The Adventure Continues… [DM]: Gutbur, You run along as best you can, keeping up with your horse at a slow trot and before too long you arrive at the Elk tribe encampment. It looks like the elk are having their own moot ahead of the great moot. As they see the great chief approaching, you…
- Gutbur’s Grand Adventure: Session #006The Adventure Continues… [DM]: You can head off the next morning at your leisure. [Gutbur]: I’ll head out first light.

- Gutbur’s Grand Adventure: Session #005Introduction | Previous Sessions The Adventure Continues… (Talolan):Busy two days. (Lasarian):Yes it was. [DM]:You head back to the hole in the ground without issue. [Gutbur]: I look around for the owl if it is still there. Scout for large deadfall, or trees that are dead or nearly dead to lay over the hole. [DM]: As…
