Circus of the Mighty Session Log
[Victor, Greg and Ralph in attendance on 11-18-2007 between 3:30PM until about 9:30PM. Greg was running Thalin and Chingara. Victor was running Mandark and Stirge. Ralph was running Dwalor and Telwyn. Hilda and Helga started off in Greg and Ralph's hands but when combat started, Victor was mostly calling the tactics. The Circus is currently in the City of Boha-Boha which is in the western end of the Twin Kingdoms of Taumau-Boha at the head of the Kalimara River.]
When we left the Circus they were making plans to capture, or at least defeat, Lord Alif.
Alif was an important man within the mysterious Leopard Cult. As the result of Thalin's scrying, Hilda's questioning of the two spies the Circus had captured and several other related facts, they learned that this mysterious cult of criminals, assassins and shapechangers was now after the Circus and was somehow in alliance with at least two of their old foes, Chebo and Marvek. Although the pattern of connections wasn't entirely clear yet, these cultists also were involved with the ancient evils of the Kosan and expunged history of the mysterious King in Yellow.
More importantly, as Thalin had long ago expected and had taken precautions against, the Circus was now being scryed on and their movements and activities followed.

Circus of the Mighty Session Log
Victor, Greg, Ralph and Ian in attendence. 9-23-2007 around 5PM until about 9:30PM. However what follows is really a summary of two sessions:
To recap briefly:
The Circus is in Darth Lom, driven there primarily by Thalin's vague but powerful paranoia and his obssessive curiosity for the histories and cultures of this ancient land. But specifically they are there to find the Great Udamalore, a ceremonial weapon and badge of office for the clerical caste of Basharka. Due to several divine visions, received at the Temple of Montintera, the Circus has reason to believe that finding this weapon will stop Lady Tyrathect's plot to revive an ancient evil force only known as the King in Yellow.

Circus of the Mighty Session: 6-19-2005
A Sprawling and Less Than Coherent Summary of the Last Two Sessions of Circus of the Mighty
Currently the crew is on an exploratory/trade expedition on the continent of Darth Lom*, or Nyambe tanda**.
A millennia in the past, the Empire of Darth Lom established a colony in Udra and ruled for more than 200 years. During that time the Lomites had profound influences on Udran culture. But Darth Lom fell and, there followed an 800 year period of quiet as Udran culture, economy and polity advanced and grew. During this time there was almost no trade and many scholars in Urda's had almost no information as to the changes in Darth Lom since the fall.
A Sprawling and Less Than Coherent Summary of the Last Two Sessions of Circus of the Mighty
Soon after their defeat of the piracy of Cebo [Pronounced "Chay-bo"] the Drowned and while their holdings on the Isle of Jars consolidated, the heroes who saved Udra from Golem Army decided to see what they could do to re-establish trade with the Lomite continent.
They organized an expedition consisting of two ships, The Good Ship Danny Goodman and The Hoberman Sphere, each crewed with more than 30 sailors and men-at-arms, to make the long jump back to Darth Lom.

12-07-02 Circus of the Mighty
Molna's Test of Strength, The Hights of Idiocy, Goblin Return:
After defeat by the goblins, the Circus beat a hasty retreat down the trail back to Skidrow. On the way down, they ran into Kinsaul, their comrade from earlier missions of a postal nature. Kinsaul had be sent up by Yavin to lend the Circus a hand in fighting the goblins. The party regrouped and headed down the trail. The party found a suitable ambush spot just off the trail on a rock outcrop. They made camp there and waited for any goblins to come down the trail.
The night passed uneventfully and the party used the morning to conduct what further healing remained. They continued to wait. In the early afternoon, the Circus spotted 3 goblins, 2 skeletal wolves and a flag of truce making their way down the trail.
Thalin cast a message spell to parley with the goblin they recognized as being the priest who taunted their hasty retreat before. Through Thalin's message spell, negotiations ensued. It was learned that the goblins, flush with victory and meeting from a position of strength, were on their way down to make deals with Skidrow. It was also learned that there was some recent political changes in the goblin leadership*. Negotiations continued, members of the Circus conferred and Thalin demanded some kind of proof of good will on the goblin's part.
