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!

Wonderfull news! Me and two players from the OSRIC campaign attended the European OSR convention known as Cauldron in Germany!

Cauldron OSR Eurocon 2024 Days III+IV

The first two days of cauldron had exceeded any expectation that I could possibly have! Every game was great, from the crazy Braunstein game to the deadly tournament module and the slaying of dragons and mad cultists, we were all having a great gaming time! Personally, my only concern was to get down for lunch on time in order to be able to enlist myself for the games I wanted. But that was not the case for the third day of Cauldron. You see, the previous day we were informed that a great naval wargame would take place and we had already signed ourselves up! Just like the Braunstein game, it would take place on the gaming world of the ADDKON campaign and me, Nico and Mitch were excited to take part in this! So, we woke up, ate our breakfast and got ready to fight! NAVAL WARGAME BATTLE The table is set for battle DM Ghoul have made the ambitious decision to run a great naval wargame on Saturday with 7 different factions forming up two...
