PCs:

SESSION REPORT:

On Wealsun 10, the party, not wanting to waste precious time, headed back to the dungeon. Inside they found resistance by troglodytes. They managed to defeat them all except one that escaped. However this proven to come in handy for the party.

Up until now, the party has explored all the 1st floor of the dungeon without being able to find a passage to a second level. However they knew that the serpent that runs the cult must be here somewhere. So they followed the muddy trails of the troglodyte that led to a small lake. Inside it they defeated some aligators and be searching the perimeter they found a secret door.

They explored the rest of the floor, defeating snakes and beavers and once they have discovered stairs that lead to a lower level, they decided to retreat back to Orlane to tend to the party members' wounds.

wine and beer worth 300gp

11 troglodytes

Zyla the elf, C1, Readying 25, 576 CY, eaten by ghouls

Jack, F1, Readying 28, 576 CY, slain by the evil cleric named Lareth

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

In the first visit to the cult's dungeon, I was worried about how they will find the secret door. The party didn't have any thieves and it wasn't an easy door to find because it was at the end of a lake.

However the running troglodyte gave the solution. For the evasion, I just rolled the initiative and I thought that if he managed to win twice in a row they will lose him. He succeed but it turned out to give the solution the party needed. In the DMG there are more specific rules about evasion that I would like to try out more in the future.

Anyway, they now know the way to the final boss! Wish them luck, they are gonna need it!

Cauldron OSR Eurocon 2026

INTRODUCTION One more October arrived, one more Cauldron is about to happen! Having closed our tickets as early as possible, the Greek Phalanx made the journey to Germany once again! The Greek Trio The journey there gets easier and easier. We are starting to gain enough XP in delving the DB dungeons to avoid the majority of its traps. For example we avoided getting tickets for the ICE train because we 've learned that there is a big chance to lose it due to it arriving ultra late and end up using the normal train, just 4 times its price. We also realised that we can take a daily pass for 5 people for a little more than 50 euros, allowing us to use all the trains from the Airport to Malburg, so we will be using that from now on. Even if we are just three, that's still a better price than everything we 've tried so far. We reached and met all the usual suspects that delve this con, alongside some new ones and got ready for battle!!! Th...
