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.

LOOT AND KILLS:

Loot:

24 gp

Kills:

1 cleric

1 wight

12 cultists

DECEASED PLAYER CHARACTERS:

Urikas the elf, F1/MU1, Readying 25, 576 CY, eaten by ghouls

Zyla the elf, F1/MU1, Readying 25, 576 CY, eaten by ghouls

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

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!!!

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...

Cauldron OSR Eurocon 2024 Day II

After a crazy day of an exhausting trip, a great on-train session provided by Nico and an unbelievable Braunstein game, we took a much needed nap. However it wasn't meant to last for long because at 7:30 we had to be awake to bath, reach the dinner table at 8 and after that enlist ourselves for a game! Let's go! THE BREAKFAST It's worth mentioning that our food was delicious and it was all created by the volunteers and the families of the Nexus club that hosts the event! They worked endlessly to make sure everything was provided and the result was unbelievable! I wish I could express how grateful me and everyone else is for this effort! A lot of cheese, coffee, sausage and juice found its way to our bellies and we were ready to begin our adventures!!! Once again be warned that the rest of the report contains spoilers for every module that I took part in, so if you want to avoid them, skip the specific section. CHILDREN OF THE SEA ...

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...
