Session 17: Following The Trails

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

4 crocodiles

3 giant snakes

1 giant beaver

DECEASED PLAYER CHARACTERS:

Urikas the elf, F2/MU2, Readying 25, 576 CY, eaten by ghouls

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!

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 ...
