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...

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

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 ...
