GoldDiggers' Adventures

      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.

             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...

They immediately begun cutting it to pieces in order for it to be easily moved back to Verbobonc so that they can claim the reward from the city.     However, as they were chopping out its legs and head, an even bigger red dragon came out just a few yards away, in the area that their map said the lair was. He was shocked that the other red dragon was dead and demanded to know what happened. The party claimed that 4 silver dragons assaulted the red one and defeated. They were only following them hoping to enter their lair. The ancient red dragon angrily...

With that done, they were finally ready to face of the red dragons.     After 5 days of uneventful travelling, they reached the area of their lair. The map that they have acquired was correct and they were able to spot the red dragon that was on guard duty without being spotted.     Then, they had the illusionist cast phantasmal force to make a small army, a replica of the party, to appear behind the dragon. That forced the beast to come out of hiding and use his breath weapon agains...

Until an answer arrives, they decide to rest there. They choose to sleep in the ships, taking advantage of the crow's nest to watch out for enemies.     However, in the middle of the night they will have to face a terror they never had before. Two giant tentacles appeared from the river's waters and engulfed one of the cogs, while 6 more attacked the ships passengers.
