They also search the inn's rooms and capture their sleeping residents.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    This session, while it has a small recap, it was very important. It was at this session that the party learned for sure that the priests of Merikka are working against them. 

    I was thinking a lot how to handle this situation. I didn't want to have the clerics openly attack the party. If they were willing to take such a brave action, why didn't they just attack the mayor and hermit all this time? They are obviously not ready for an all out assault and they want to be smart about it. 

    I could have them bide their time and continue being helpful. But I thought that giving them a healing potion that in reality was poison it was a good choice. Since they healed the party they knew they wouldn't waste it now. They would only use it in an emergency and if it would have taken out the party member who would drink it, it would turn the tide in favour of their opponents. 

    I was thinking if it is way too punishing to have a PC die like that. I was glad Korin was the one to drink it because his racial toughness gave him enough bonuses to survive it. I really think it would be lame to have a PC die like that. However, they already knew that the clerics were suspicious and could have tried something with the potion before drinking it.

    Anyway, now they know who are the good guys and who are the bad ones! Let's see how this adventure will continue!

Also there will be major spoilers for every module I was involved in so be warned that if you want to play them in the future, skip carefully that part! Let's go then! THE TRIP     I began the journey to Germany from Athens where I live. I met Nico, my only compatriot in this adventure, at the airport on Thursday morning, the first day of the convention.

Session 58: Prizefighters

  PCs: sir Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F6 Dame Mia the ogre, F5 sir Norbor the half-orc, F5 PARTY'S HENCHMEN: - SESSION RECAP:     After the showdown with the ancient dragon the party survived but they had lost everything! Their henchmen were dead or gone, their magic items were given to the dragon and Mia has turned into an ogre! Most of the blame was to be put on Darwin who in order to save his life, gave everything up to the red dragon. That's why Norbor tried to find out where he was, once he was back on his feet.      Unfortunately for him, Darwin had completed his training and disappeared. Even worse, the party has spent most of its remaining money to raise back Norbor from the dead and reincarnate Mia. As a result, they took advantage of Mia's monstrous appearance and arranged wrestling matches on Verbobonc, trying to make money from the bets.     Many brave fighters rose up to the challenge and fought the ogre bare handed. Of course noone was a...
