Session 26: Honour Among Thieves

 

PCs:

Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F4

Mia the elf, T1/MU1

Tranaccatlo, F1

Corax the elf, A1


SESSION RECAP:

    The wizard, being defeated and tied, is willing to give information to the party in exchange for his life. He reveals that the pirates that hit merchant ships are hiding inside the cave of this dungeon and that right now the vast majority of them is absent, doing some pirating. As a result, they have left some loot behind that could be easy target, guarded only by a few pirates that have been left behind. 

    The four pirates that they were persuaded by the party to change sides, the wizard with his hands tied and the rest of the group head to meet the pirates in their cave. In there the wizard screams to alert them and tries to escape but is assasinated by Corax. In the fight that broke out the party easily defeated their opponents and got the loot. They gave the 4 pirates that cooperated their share and let them go away.

    Then, the group started the small journey back to Dyvers. However, the last day of their travel, they are attacked by 3 giant two headed trolls. The party fled with their horses but Trenaccatlo and one of the party's henchmen perished in this unlucky encounter. The rest of them made it back safely to Dyvers.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    Another successful session for the party, with the exception of Trenaccatlo who has become the second PC that this player loses! Unfortunate but it happens.

    Now there are more options for the party, as they know that the pirates have their lair in the cave and can use this information to gain the authorities' favor. It's also worth noting that Corax' addition in this sessions pushed me to a more CAG way to run the game. He was constantly asking "what is this city down there?", "what do we know of the Gnarley Forest?" etc etc. And he was right. I have given them a map with many locations, what's the point of that if I don't know what is happening in them. So from now on, I try to just know the general situation of every region, have a few dungeons ready and let them choose what they want to do, avoiding asking them what is their intentions before the session.

    It's also worth noting that they had another extremely difficult random encounter of a monster I haven't seen before. They were attacked at night and they left all their treasure in the tent besides the gems but at least they survived!

    Let's see how they will handle the pirates in the sessions to come!

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 58: Prizefighters

  PCs: sir Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F6 Dame Mia the ogre, F5 sir Norbor the half-orc, F5 PARTY'S HENCHMEN: - SESSION RECAP:     After the showdown with the ancient dragon the party survived but they had lost everything! Their henchmen were dead or gone, their magic items were given to the dragon and Mia has turned into an ogre! Most of the blame was to be put on Darwin who in order to save his life, gave everything up to the red dragon. That's why Norbor tried to find out where he was, once he was back on his feet.      Unfortunately for him, Darwin had completed his training and disappeared. Even worse, the party has spent most of its remaining money to raise back Norbor from the dead and reincarnate Mia. As a result, they took advantage of Mia's monstrous appearance and arranged wrestling matches on Verbobonc, trying to make money from the bets.     Many brave fighters rose up to the challenge and fought the ogre bare handed. Of course noone was a...
