We finally learn some information about the shadowbeasts, asking around town about anyone whose seen such a beast or survived or witnessed an attack. The type of shadowbeast we will be looking for are slug-like creatures, lacking arms and legs and using natural attacks. What this means is that our normal tactics of disarming and […]
Back from our successful recovery of our group's leader, we return the horses we borrowed to the stable master. He is a member of the resistance group himself and lent us the horses, as well as acted as one of the decoy riders for the ambush. But when Ganelon and I lead the horses towards […]
If you think our paladin gets unwarranted flak for his actions, I offer this simple exchange for consideration. Moving to chop down another guard, Ganelon calls for him to 'Surrender and die!' 'Surely, "or die"?' 'No.'
We've almost cleared the wagon of guards, just one more remains on top. He is currently reloading the ballista mounted on the roof of the wagon, but I spring up to prevent the large weapon being used against us a second time. Poor Afutavere nearly had a second name change to Halfafutavere. Brennan sees the […]
Apart from critical hits nearly slaughtering two guards in one round, when we are trying to merely wound or incapacitate, the ambush is going well. The leader has been dropped to the floor by Ganelon, our paladin, who then calls for the surrender of the guards. Brennan the bard casts a spell to cause a […]
Our paladin, apparently intent on the plan to rescue the leader of the resistance group by waiting until he's executed and then raise him as a zombie, wasn't paying much attention when we were told of the group's inherently peaceful attitude. 'Try not to kill anyone', we remind him, as we wait to launch an […]
We find ourselves recruited in to the resistance, after an innocent dinner date ends with us being chased through sewers by the local military force. It turns out, however, that they are not so much resisting the political power as intending to sway the populace with good deeds and kind words. We've more found ourselves […]
We are still in the sewers and being guided hopefully to safety by our new acquaintance. 'Let's continue to stalk through here quickly', suggests our paladin, Ganelon. 'Technically, we can't stalk quickly', I reply, dangerously close to turning in to Bernard Woolley. Having to make stealth checks changes the subject quickly enough to let me […]
There's another purple shrieker ahead of us. The giant mushroom gets its name from the shrill noise it emits when it detects movement nearby. I have no idea what evolutionary purpose this serves, but if it shrieks the Hellknights looking for us will have a good idea which direction we're moving in. We can't move […]
A new setting, a new adventure. Five of us have been separately summoned to meet with a woman about overthrowing the city's government, and we all meet for the first time in a derelict inn. A couple of us expected more than ourselves to be present, others are surprised not to be alone, but we […]
