We've captured a goblin that ambushed us, and question him about his camp's defences. 'Are there any guards on the way to the camp?' 'No.' 'Break his fingers and ask again', says the paladin.
A bit of damage, a bit of scorching. I need some healing. Aggar taps me with his wand, healing 2 points of damage. He taps me again, healing another 2 points of damage. This is a slow process. A third tap, 7 points of healing. 'What a waste', says Thrak. 'Not really, I was still […]
Continuing deeper in to the fire forest brings us to another stone bridge. Well, nearly. As we approach, a couple of trees at the edge of the bridge have their trunks explode, collapsing to block our path with a barrier of flames. At the same time, Aggar notices that Crysten is acting curiously. She appears […]
'So far, we've saved a man, killed a bat, fought a bearded devil...' 'We didn't 'save' a man. We cut his head off.' 'Yes, saving him.' In the same way that his black bear 'disarmed' a trap for us, I suppose.
Deeper in the fire forest, a stone bridge crosses a gorge. We have little choice but to trust the bridge, already broken in places, despite the stress the continuous fire surrounding it must have caused the stone. Most of us get across safely, having found and avoiding some weak spots, when from a cave below […]
We enter the fire forest, a forest that has been burning for decades. That seems peculiar, if we're being honest, and are intrigued as to what could cause this. Unfortunately, the level of knowledge Salvador can bring to bear on the subject is that a forest burning for forty years isn't natural. Thanks, Sal. As […]
Salvador leaps in to action! But Thrak is enlarged and in the doorway, completely blocking access to the enemies just outside. Salvador has a ranged weapon, but he has also just applied magic oil to his melee weapon, and it seems a waste to ignore it. He could go outside to try to flank the […]
'I'm going to rub magic oil on my weapon.' 'You're greasing up your shaft?' 'No, just the tip.'
Skeletons pile through the door of the farmhouse we're staying in. That's fine, we have two clerics on hand. Aggar, our own cleric, a cleric of the Sun Domain, has turning undead as a specialty. Torrent, the NPC cleric in our charge, waits for Aggar to destroy the skeletons before bothering to try herself. It's […]
'Does someone want to play Torrent?' Our NPC cleric is becoming something of a burden for the GM to run, given that we are starting a fight against a dozen other NPCs, and the GM is pretty much asking what we want her to do most of the time anyway. We may as well take […]
