PARTY'S HENCHMEN:

-


SESSION RECAP:

    After the showdown with the ancient dragon the party survived but they had lost everything! Their henchmen were dead or gone, their magic items were given to the dragon and Mia has turned into an ogre! Most of the blame was to be put on Darwin who in order to save his life, gave everything up to the red dragon. That's why Norbor tried to find out where he was, once he was back on his feet. 

    Unfortunately for him, Darwin had completed his training and disappeared. Even worse, the party has spent most of its remaining money to raise back Norbor from the dead and reincarnate Mia. As a result, they took advantage of Mia's monstrous appearance and arranged wrestling matches on Verbobonc, trying to make money from the bets.

    Many brave fighters rose up to the challenge and fought the ogre bare handed. Of course noone was a match for Mia's newfound strength! However, bravery wasn't only found on the wrestlers but on the bettors as well. The money that many people betted filled the pockets of the players!

    Of course this was not enough. So, they visited Julio, a Mia's contact from a local thieves' gang and asked for a job. Julio asked the party to assist him on raiding a rival's headquarters next week in order to get his hand on a very important shipment that he had just acquired. The party accepted for a very good price.

    In the meantime, they wanted to find a way to restore Mia's normal body. They asked Bertham the sage who advised them to ask Viscount Wilfrick to assist them because the solution could come through a powerful wizard and perhaps the viscount had some connections. Indeed, when they met Wilfrick, he proposed to them to make a deal with a powerful mage, Bigby. Unfortunately, Bigby didn't trust the party because he believed that they were responsible for the fact that the Scarlet Brotherhood had taken over Scant. He was now residing on Veluna City and the bright news are that the archcleric of Veluna is very sympathetic towards Korin who assisted the city guard a few years ago. So, they asked the viscount to arrange a meeting with Bigby in order to find a solution.

    Once the week passed, they joined forces with Julio's gang and assaulted his rival's inn. They were prepared for an attack but Mia's brute strength was more than enough to tear down the front door and turn everything upside down. They easily dominated the ground floor and quickly they found a secret passage downstairs. There, they managed to kill two more guards and continued their search for the important shipment.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    This was the first session after nearly 3 months! Real life obligations and a tightening of the schedule forced us to take a small hiatus but we are back in action now!

    I believe a small part is due to the effect that cauldron con had on us! It was a really motivating convention and from what i understand everyone is stll pumped up and ready to jump back into action!

    The decision of the players to turn Mia's monstrous appearance to an attraction was a funny one! It was also a good way to start finding new henchmen, since anyone is gone now! I am really curious to see how they are going to rebound after the encounter with the dragon! It was a great disaster but it gave them a new purpose! Find Darwin! And make him pay!!! 

    Let's see how that will go! Till next time! Fight on!!!

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

  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 ...
