We need to get in to the castle, as we suspect evil is afoot. We can't just wander in the main gate, as the evil involves reassigning all the guards and bringing in new people just prior to a massive feast for the nobility, which is pretty suspicious in itself. We could enter the castle […]
As reward for helping in the battle, Lord Gallow extends a very generous offer to us. He offers us each a knighthood, which we graciously accept. Well, most of us. Salvador enquires about the option of receiving a military rank instead. 'Yes, that would be possible', says Lord Gallow, 'but it would be honorary'. An […]
The battle is over. King Steppenguard's forces have been pushed back, and the armies of this land have stopped fighting each other. Hopefully now we can concentrate on the real enemy—not the Judean People's Front, but the orcish army of Ragesia. The next morning, a messenger rides out to the centre of the battlefield. Lord […]
'If the dog wasn't in the way, I could cast Lightning Bolt.' 'He's only little. Fire it over his head.' 'I'm a gnome.' 'So fire between his legs!' 'I'm no expert, only being a mage and all, but I don't think Lightning Bolt works that way.' Thankfully, I have no such reservations about casting spells […]
We're trying to work out how to sabotage some siege engines. Our best bet seems to be for Thrak and Salvador to sneak up on them, throw oil on the engines, and then for me to cast Wall of Fire to set them all alight. It's not a bad plan, apart from needing to be […]
To avoid patrols on the main roads we have to go through a dark wood, within which are creatures known as pitchlings. Salvador knows something about them, and shares his knowledge with us. 'Also, we can hold unlit torches, and if a pitchling comes within 100', they will burst in to flames.' Salvador considers this […]
The orcs who overran the dwarf outpost have been defeated, along with their wyvern, which was killed single-handedly by little gnome illusionist me. I'm still waiting for my medal. Searching the outpost finds the dwarf bodies tossed unceremoniously in to a heap in the snow. 'I'll check to see that they're all dead.' '...' 'That […]
Making our way along the snowy mountain pass isn't a simple matter. The footing for our horses is treacherous in places, requiring us to look out for hazards and guide the horses around them regularly. 'Salvador, as you've just arrived to the session, you can make the next survival check.' '...can I take 10?' 'Yes. […]
Our ride up to and along the mountain pass will need to be swift. We are given light warhorses, along with wands of healing. 'Use these on the horses when needed. If you push them too hard, they will just collapse.' 'Then let's stick to riding them. Plus, if we push them, we risk losing […]
Evading capture by the paranoid king's guards, we are accompanied north to a friendly lord's lands. After welcoming us, the lord makes a request of us in these unsettled times. 'I need some adventurers to ride hard and fast in to the mountains and along the pass, calling on each guard post to check for […]
