Session 18: Brain Drain

PCs:

Causticas the elf, F2/MU2

Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F4

SESSION REPORT:

On Wealsun 11, the party decided to travel to Hochoch to recruit a thief to help them get through lock doors or find hidden ones. Besides that, they also employ some met-at-arms to guard the mayor's house for the time they will be gone.

They returned the next day and they immediately headed towards the cult's dungeon. In the 1st floor they didn't meet any resistance. However in the 2nd one, the cultists were ready to fight them. Even worse, among them there was a cleric and a wight. While the party prevailed, the terrible undead managed to drain a level from Korin and from the elven companion of the mayor, Dorian.

Once they have destroyed their opponents, they released some prisoners and they searched the room where the cultists ambushed them. They found a secret door behind a snake altar but didn't follow through. They returned to Orlane to regroup and they will be back as soon as possible.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

I was waiting for the encounter with the wight. I was really curious to see how it will play out and if any player will lose a level by it. I always have the opponents pick a random target for their attacks but Korin was unlucky. What's even worse is that since they have almost cleared out the dungeon, he was really close to go to level 5, so by going back to the start of level 3, he actually lost xp that was worth 2 levels!!

Once again the party didn't have any problem, we had a laugh and they started to plan a way to restore his lost level, once this whole situation was over. It would be a nice way to continue the adventure and it happened organically.

However the dungeon is now cleared and the mighty naga awaits! The final battle is upon us!!!

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 ...
