SESSION RECAP:

    After the training of the group was completed, they made their preparations to head back to Humming's End. They hired an architect who would help them construct a mechanism that will pull up the dragons from the cave and they also hired a few more men-at-arms.

    They began their journey on Fireseek 1 and in their way they met a big group of gnomes that were heading towards Verbobonc. They chatted with them and offered them job at Humming's End for all their future projects of building walls for their village and expanding. Some of the gnomes were interested and they promised to reach Humming's End in a few days.

    On Fireseek 5, the group reached Humming's End. They rested for a day and they began the next one with the architect, a few woodsmen as workers and their whole roster to head towards the dragons lair. Until the end of the day they have reached it but they found out that it was taken over by kobolds. The party attacked them and mercilessly destroyed all of them, killing more than 50 and keeping a few to help at the constructions. They revealed that they were working together with some orcs that wanted to bring the dragon back to life and that they have taken the small one back to their camp.

    The party decided to stay there and start its work to put out the big dragon and guard the workers for as many days as it would take.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    Poor kobolds. I think I still don't realise how much stronger the PCs get as they gain levels. To say that this was a one sided battle would be an understatement. The kobolds really didn't stand a chance!

    I have them use a few tricks like throwing oil trying to burn the party out but they patiently let the fire calm down and when the road was open, charged against them. They made several attacks per round with almost every hit being a kill.

    I was thinking that this is what peasant uprisings should look like in the middle ages. Farmers fighting with whatever they can against trained professionals who have armor to protect them and deadly weapons to kill instantly their opponent. 

    Well, with that taken care of, we need to see what the party will do now. Taking the dragon out might be harder than they think...

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.

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...
