Toppling Dominos

The campaign has suddenly, and quite definitely, moved into a second phase. The first phase saw a whole lot of stuff being introduced and the start of mysteries laid out. Now, in the second phase, a lot of that material starts to come good. Secrets are revealed, treasures are collected, and plots advance. It's all good stuff - I just wish we'd got here sooner.

The latest goings-on:

• One of the PCs has accepted the Enticement, beginning his orbit around the Dark Powers. Which is nice.
  
• The PCs have collected a journal belonging to one of the Big Bads, which has given them a huge insight into the nature of the realm they're stuck in, the nature of the challenges they'll face, and one of the core mysteries.
  
• The PCs have also gathered a magic item that will be of significant aid to them later.
  
• Meanwhile, there are a lot of plot threads bouncing around the campaign, some very important and some less so. These should give plenty of material for them to advance in levels - my hope is that they'll get from 3rd up to 5th level in the current phase, before undergoing a 'crucible' before moving to the next phase, and 6th level.

All in all, I'm really happy with how it has been going recently. Naturally, that means we'll be facing a TPK in the next couple of weeks!
