We've fallen back from our advance positions and are now back in the heart of the village to protect it from the goblin army. Along with the villagers, we have some militia from a nearby town, a few druids, and a, um, 'why is there a Mummy Lord here?' 'Oh, that's me', says Thamir. 'I […]
The goblins are coming and the ogre is drunk. A couple of the party members are beginning to regret trading the ogre's cooperation in protecting the village for beer, particularly when the quantity turned out to be all that the local inn had. 'I was going to take Craft (Beer) but apparently the required skill […]
The advancing goblin horde gets close enough for their rank and file to start charging towards our defences. Davor takes this as his cue to transform! He quaffs a potion of enlarge potion and grows to be pretty big indeed. And still he tries to hide behind the barricade as the goblin archers continue to […]
Elementals attack! Periwinkle attacks back! Our cavalier is in his ele—um, well, he's comfortable with being out in the open, which gives his riding wolf room to charge. His lance strikes a vulnerable spot on the elemental and he scores a critical hit. Because of feats and character traits, his D6+3 damage is tripled from […]
In our efforts to find out more about the goblins and protect the village we learn about some witches that live out in the woods. One local knows quite a bit about them, including that one crone is blind and has a leopard. Davor mishears this and is a little taken aback. 'She has a […]
The goblins have attacked the village, and catching one of their scouts reveals their plans to mount a larger attack in a few days' time. We talk to the villagers to help them prepare defences, and one of them offers some advice. 'You know who's a good fighter? Big Fred.' 'Big Fred?', says Periwinkle, 'is […]
A goblin scouting party is spotted in the woods. We consider approaching them as a gesture of goodwill, as well as to see if we can get any information from them. 'Shall we go up to them?', asks Periwinkle. 'Shall we roll for initiative?', asks Davor, in his typical manner. 'Let's hog-tie the half-orc', Periwinkle […]
We travel by coach for two days north, to the village where the crime occurred. We get most of the way there before being ambushed by goblins, which is pretty good going, and even the ambush is pretty half-hearted. It seems that there is a fairly peaceful coexistence of goblins and humans, and that these […]
Four mighty adventurers are brought together to solve the perilous case of the missing girl. Four mighty second-level adventurers. Periwinkle, gnome cavalier; Brock Ironfist, dwarf barbarian; Githsashit, gnome rogue; and Davor, half-orc barbarian/rogue. 'Half-orc and half-what, exactly? Half-goblin? Half-gnoll?' 'Human, you annoying little prick.' 'No, really. Half-kobold? I need to know.' 'Don't mock me. I'm […]
