Trying to corrupt or in some other way bring about the fall of a paladin ruling the kingdom we're in, our evil selves find it difficult to come up with a decent plan. The most evil thing we decide we can accomplish is to join the city guard and see what havoc we can wreak […]
Shuffling the miniatures around the table during an encounter turns the conversation to some of the recent miniatures that have been produced. A new 12" tall red dragon miniature gets mentioned as something quite impressive. Despite how cool it supposedly looks, there are the obvious convenience problems, not least of which is 'where would you […]
With a wonderful show of camaraderie, my allies manage to get to my limp and bleeding body with a cure light wounds spell within the round, so I live again! Well, after a fashion, as I am still unconscious. Even with another couple of spells I decide that playing dead is probably the better option, […]
'You're lucky they rolled low on their damage!' With my character lying on the ground, no allies in sight, almost drowning in a pool of my own blood on -9 hit points, leaving me with one stabilisation roll to survive, if the two rogues that still flank me don't sneeze and drop me to -10 […]
Playing an evil character, as the entire party is, can really show just how devious one can get. When I, Steve the Pirate, find myself in an obvious prayer room to a good deity, inside the temple of a paladin we are trying to corrupt, I seize the opportunity to be as evil as possible. […]
Our evil party accepts the task of trying to depose a new paladin ruler, by any means. Whether this is by killing him outright, exposing some hitherto-unknown corruption of his, or deceiving him and everyone else in to believing he has committed attrocities is up to us. Our mage has an interesting idea, in that […]
Trying to show how a bard should be played, after believing my attempt recently with Dinike was far from impressive, the new party's bard makes good use of her knowledge of everything. Well, except for Nobility and Royalty, and we are meeting lots of nobility and royalty all of a sudden. But never fear, as […]
A new adventure, a new adventuring party. One member is an oriental fellow, good with dealing damage with an open palm, and any other body part that can be swung effectively. However, he used to have trouble introducing himself, for some reason. 'Greetings, I am loosely hung.' '... pardon me?' 'CHAN. I have changed my […]
Having found clues that a mighty sword was being forged, using the blood of the villagers we have been tasked to find to temper it, we set off to find and rescue the villagers, and to prevent the sword from being finished. It was not a long trek through a few empty rooms before we […]
'Bards are useless', was the cry from the party as we moved on from a small skirmish. Nonsense, said I, it's just that I haven't found my milieu yet. It was clear I needed to take control of a situation to prove my usefulness to the party. It has been tricky up to this point, […]
