Session 21: A Hopeful Dawn

 

PCs:

Causticas the elf, F2/MU2
Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F3


SESSION REPORT:
    The party continues exploring the armory and eventually meets and fights some members of the guild that orchestrated the raids. After a hard battle they win and they find many of the objects that were stolen during the night. They also took the leader of the thieves guild as a prisoner. On their way to the castle they came upon a group of thieves that were returning to the armory and fought them. The group almost died but one of the sentries managed to bravely push the villains of. They retreated back to their inn and agreed to meet Canon Hazen, the ruler of the city, the next morning.
    The group meets Canon Hazen, explains everything that happens and asks for Korin’s level to be restored. Hazen makes a huge discount but still the party couldn’t pay it. They agreed to let him identify the items and come back tomorrow.
    The next morning Canon Hazen informs the team about the value and properties of the items. He agrees to keep the clerical scrolls as payment for the restoration. Korin’s level is now restored. After that, Hazen informs the group that he received letters from Safeton that raids have been increased lately and they want groups of adventurers to investigate.
    After 7 days of rest, the party awaits for Causticas to train both as a fighter and as a magic user for almost 2 months.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    This was it for the great adventure named A Hopeful Dawn! Props to Gary Lai, the guy wrote it, I hope he is ok and still rolling the dices with his pals! As I said in the previous report it was a great break from the usual adventures of the party and the players enjoyed it greatly. Especially the player that uses Causticas loved it, he liked (and he was right in my opinion) the fact the armory-thieves' hideout was really nice organised, it had very nice traps and very logically and smartly placed.

    Also the party showed once more it's resourcefulness, avoiding many dangerous traps through careful play. There was one in specific that had the floor opening up to let anyone in it fall in a small river. However the party saw it coming and took its measures! Good for them!

    They came close to a TPK however. The lucky rolls of the sentry saved them, anyone else was unconsious. Truth be told, the enemies were really strong because they were made for 2e were everyone was a little more powered up, or so I am told.

    Anyway, the party had the chance to kill the sentries and take an awesome loot once they cleared the armory and they didn't, which was one of the things that Canon Hazen took in mind before helping them. I was considering that I was helpful because I had the villains retreat before the sentry that was standing alone. They were in the middle of the streets and they were fighting fot 4 or 5 rounds so I figures they woulnd't want to send half and hour fighting policemen in the middle of the city! 

    And if I was afraid that I was kind to the party, especially now that Korin took back his level and Causticas also leveled up, the next session will take all these thoughts away...

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...

Session 50: Battle Of The Iron Wood

  PCs: sir Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F6 Dame Mia the elf, T5/MU4 sir Norbor the half-orc, F5 PARTY'S HENCHMEN: Cleon, F4 Falhed, R1 Gravoldel, R1 Briu, T1 Vailbezal, I1 Larth, P1 Rhadum, R2 Jared, C1 Bierduth, C1 Zasti, MU1 Rotoris the elf, MU1 10 light horsemen 2 mounted crossbowmen SESSION RECAP:     The party starts preparing for the attack. 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 ...
