Skyfell - Rise of the Glutton : Session 30

Image
  Introduction A little while back I started a once-per-month  Dungeons and Dragons  campaign in my  Skyfell setting  that I call  The Rise of the Glutton . I wanted to provide my players with a log of their adventures and then realized that such a log might make for fun blog posts. See  Rise of the Glutton  in my  Session Index  for a complete listing.

I had so many neat ideas for what might follow that I had a really hard time settling on one. As any DM can
