the hidden place and the other time

[This is the last recap for this game, since we finished this last Sunday. New campaign will start up in January next year. There will be many, many dragons, it looks like.]

We had been stranded on the wrong side of the world, an ocean away from home, and Anubis was in the process of taking over Egypt.

It was time to find a way home...

We'd fought one battle, and prevailed. But Menes was still out there, and he'd saved some of his nastiest surprises for the last...

We continued on our way in the strange place we had found ourselves in, exploring our way through. We would find things strange, lovely, and terrible, and one thing unexpectedly precious...

[geekery. Is it ever anything else?]

Our two companions safely returned, our attention turned to another pressing danger in the form of an army of winged hyenas that were bearing down on Pi Rameses, and the ancient evil who led them.

I had been working on a way to free the maresh from what held them prisoner, but another way came open, only this one had a terribly high cost...

So we'd managed to get two of our number captured. We had to leave them where they were overnight, but the next day we of course mounted a rescue mission.

And were rejoined by an ally we had not seen for a while, and our small god managed to do some very impressive damage indeed...
