SESSION RECAP:

    The village of Humming's End rejoiced as it saw the return of its rulers! Mukaz and the locals welcomed them back with open arms, despite Mia's transformation! Soon enough they learned about many rumours. First of all, giant spiders were spotted in the area near the village. Second, some hunters saw cloud giants in the south! Also, a group of sylvan elves that claimed to know the party, approached the village and informed them about orc attacks in their territory! And last but not least, a party of adventurers came on Humming's End a week ago and with guidance from some locals, they approached an area were they believed that there was a dungeon. However, while the guides came back, the party hasn't returned yet.

    These were not the only things that awaited the group however. Sina, Norbor's wife, was visibly pregnant and she had about a month to deliver, according to the local cleric. Also, a shady guy named Gebar, who claimed to belong to the Scarlet Brotherhood, approached the party and asked an audience. The group, while being skeptical about it, decided to meet him.

    Gebar thanked the party for its assistance on Scant and asked the party to provide more help for the right price. Basically, the Scarlet Brotherhood wanted to use the party as spies on Verbobonc's court and also use the village as a safe base to build its own network. In return, he promised assistance with magic items and gold. The party asked for some time to think about it.

    They talked among themselves and while they didn't want to involve themselves even further in the Bortherhood's business, they decided to agree, not wanting to have such a powerful enemy against them. They could use this to become double spies to prove themselves to Bigby, hoping that this would persuade him to assist them with Mia's help. So, they said yes, hoping they could figure out how to take advantage of this situation! To sweeten the deal, Gaber gave the party a dagger of venom.

    Once this was done, tha party and its henchmen decided to go after the adventurer's who visited the dungeon! They talked to the local guides who gave them precise description of the route that the other party used and how they opened a secret entrance to a dungeon. After 5 days of an uneventful journey through the forest, the party reached its destination and managed to open the secret door to the dungeon! The delving is about to begin!!!

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    While this looks like an uneventful session, the deal with the Scarlet Brotherhood can be proven very important from now on! Also the group finally has a destination, the dungeon and this can help me put the campaign in a more "normal" routine.

    The fact that the sessions aren't as close to its other as they were the previous years, wasn't helping in building momentum. But now that they have a more clear objective and we can play two or three sessions in consecutive weeks, we are getting back on track!

    Let's how well they will fare in this new dungeon!

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 ...
