PARTY'S HENCHMEN:

Cleon, F1

Xenop, C1

SESSION RECAP:

Having defeated the statue, the party continued exploring the tomb. They met a group of goblins that they managed to kill and interrogated them. They revealed that they were working for a terrifying wizard and they forced them to lure him to a trap. The party ambushed him and managed to kill him. After that they looted everything they could get their hands on, including many potions.

Now that they mapped the majority of the dungeon and took a great amount of loot, they are returning to Scant. However, when they were sleeping in their tent they were attacked by giant centipedes. While they managed to overpower them, one of them hit Korin and its venomous sting killed him instantly!

The party abandoned the cart to move faster and returned to the city. There they decided to try and find a way to revive their fallen comrade.

statues worth 24gp

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

That was the toughest loss yet. Korin who has reached level 5 is dead! Of course his body is in one piece and he has plenty of money, so it's only natural that they will try to ressurect him. I thought about it the next days and was sceptical about the easy way a character can be survived but then again, that's part of the game. Characters can be ressurected and there is still a chance that they will fail but anyway, I don't have to make it harder to the players just for being harder's sake. The rules state it, there is no reason to alter it. It's part of the game.

Also, I didn't read that liches force everyone to make a save versus being terrorized and leave so the players didn't roll that. Ooops. Because of that the lich was an easy target but it's ok, it was just an extra module that I have added so let's say that he wasn't exactly a lich. In the future I will have them face a real one, based on the MM and not the strange fungus infested weirdos of the Tomb of the Serpent Kings.

Anyway, the party loved this module but we have to find out what will happen to Korin! Wish him luck!

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 ...
