SESSION RECAP:

    The party now has complete control over the lair of the dragons and with the instructions of the architect, they begin to construct the mechanism that will pull up the statue of the dragon. One day later however, the rangers will scout a big group of orcs and kobolds heading their way.

    The group needs to decide if they will abandon their current post and retreat back to Humming's End or if they stay to fight. After a brief talk, they decide to fight. They split their forces in two and plan to use their potions of human control to turn the orcs against each other.

    Indeed when the orcs arrive, Nolbor and Korin having drunk the potions claim that they are far stronger than their leader and that the orcs should follow them to achieve great victories. Half of the orcs now fight in the side of the party. The henchmen of the party quickly attack the kobolds and force them to retreat while the orcs fight each other. The party members attack the tribe leader and once they force him to submission the remaining orcs surrender.

    A few moments later, Nolbor claims that he wants to be the tribe's leader and challenges the orc leader to a fight. He accepts and Nolbor had no problem destroying him. The orcs that survived the fight, about 50 of them accept Nolbor as their new leader. They show him the location of their camp and reveal that their previous leader planned to bring the statue dragon back to life. They have taken the smaller one in their camp and were planning to use it as leverage to keep the old dragon at their service.

    The party and its orcs head now to the orc camp. In order to panick the orcs that guard it, they crucified the kobolds they have captured. The guards however don't surrender and fight to defend the camp. The numbers were in the party's side this time and quickly their enemies fled. Now the party controls the camp of the orcs and has in its possesion both of the dragon statues.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    One more session where the party's decisions surprised me. At first, I was afraid that they might be taken over by the orcs. I had to roll a few surprise checks to see if their scouts will notice them soon, if they didn't they wouldn't have time to prepare.

    Their decision to use the potions of human control caught me of guard. I didn't even remember they had those, I think they have taken them in the Tomb of the Serpent King while they were in Scant. It was a great way to use them and now Nolbor controls a whole tribe.

    It's interesting to see what they do now. I am thinking that if Nolbor stays with the tribe for a while, the whole area will connect with the village and they will be able to patrol it and journey there safely. I can never be sure what they will decide to do however! One way to find out!!!

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...

  PCs: sir Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F6 Dame Mia the elf, T5/MU4 sir Norbor the half-orc, F5 PARTY'S HENCHMEN: Cleon, F4 Falhed, R1 Gravoldel, R1 Briu, T1 Vailbezal, I1 Larth, P1 Rhadum, R2 Jared, C1 Bierduth, C1 Zasti, MU1 Rotoris the elf, MU1 10 light horsemen 2 mounted crossbowmen SESSION RECAP:     The party starts preparing for the attack. 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 ...
