Session 31: Tomb Of The Serpent Kings

 


PCs:

Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F5

Mia the elf, T2/MU1

Norbor the half-orc, F2


PARTY'S HENCHMEN:

Cleon, F1

Xenop, C1


SESSION RECAP:

    The party rests on Scant and Mia is trying to connect with the local thieves guild. They are interested to know what is the party relationship with the Scarlet Brotherhood, since they were seen cooperating with their men. She makes sure to have everyone know that like any adventuring party, they don't want to close doors and are willing to work with anyone who pays them money. The thieves guild however warns them that the Scarlet Brotherhood has a bad reputation.

    Despite that, the guild wants to hire the party and have it explore a dungeon that they have found out about on the Headlands. The group agrees and also takes along two thieves from the guild as reinforcements. Besides that, they employ again their remaining henchman and also take with them Xenop, a cleric of Xerbo who is willing to become an adventurer.

    The group travels to the location of the dungeon and starts exploring it and mapping it out. They are eventually confronted by a statue of a snake man that forces them to retreat. In one of the traps that produced a lightining bolt, one of the thieves died. 

    In their way back the group is attacked by bandits. They avoided them by galloping away with their forces. The thieves guild was very happy with their results. They want to them to search and map the dungeon even more and the party is willing to do it in the future.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    As I said in a previous report, I added many snake related dungeons in the area. In "my" Greyhawk, the Headlands were the home of a yuan ti kingdom and these dungeons are the remains of it.

    The Tomb of the Serpent Kings is a dungeon I have ran before and I likes it. It's a little strange but the players wanted to try it, I wanted to put it in the campaign so here we go.

    From this session report and on, I will also post the henchmen of the party. Soon enough their number is going to increase and with the use of google docs I am able to easily track their abilities, items and xp.

    The campaign continues and the players enjoy their stay on Scant. They are bidding their time until they are ready to go to the treasure island from the map they got from the pirates. But as usual, we can have a change of plan...

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 ...
