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!

Campaign Report: OSR, Quickly (A West Marches Campaign using Whitehack 3e)

WHAT IS THIS? In my OSRIC campaign we have a small break of two weeks and since I am up to date with the session reports of that campaign, I will say a few things about other games that I participated in. This one in particular is one that I hold dear in my heart because it was my first OSR campaign that I' ve played and the first OSR sessions that I was a part in! I joined this games discord server on 2021 and played in this game for more than a year! So, I will describe what we did and how it went! THE RULESET As you can see from the title (and the image at the top of the post), we used Whitehack 3e for this campaign. I have already said that my ruleset of choice is OSRIC/ ADnD 1e but I am open to try other games, just like I like playing games other than DnD from time to time. What I want is to have rules that are consistent, help you understand the spirit of the game and provide you a specific goal. Whitehack does that amazingly well!...

Cauldron OSR Eurocon 2024 Day I

Wonderfull news! Me and two players from the OSRIC campaign attended the European OSR convention known as Cauldron in Germany! I will cover on this post how I experienced this truly amazing convention! Bare in mind that some details might have be mistaken because I didn't expect to write a report about it but I am so fired up by the con that I really want to share as much as I can! 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. I must admit that in the beggining I was a little sceptical about this whole expedition. I didn't know any of the guys involved in person besides Nico, I hadn't been in Germany before so we were really...

The fact that a powerful magic user was part of the group that they were about to face was very worrisome. So they decide to use Mia's stealthiness as well as a potion of invisibility and a potion of undetectable poison that they had from previous adventures to take him out. The plan is to have an invisible Mia approach them when they prepare the meal of the day and poison the food that is intented for the magic user. Their prisoners informed them for the time that they usually eat and also for the fact that the wizard eats alone at his tower and one of his servants brings him his food. However, the group knew that some ...
