After what seemed like a long period of contemplation, our Paladin decides that he'd rather face some Ogres than have to retreat through 3' of water, so our party decamps and heads through a narrow path through the rock walls, which opens out in to a fairly large room. Our Rogue has a quick look, […]
When you use Power Attack, you shall marginally miss. When you don't use Power Attack, nothing would have deflected your blow.
We find ourselves fighting in an awkward room, as it has a smaller room in the middle of it. This gives a large space to fight, but also areas out of sight where enemies could position themselves, and could cause the rest of the party could be separated by sight. Before we had to worry […]
Elan the Bard returns in another adventure, again with the Half-orc Barbarian and his dog, the non-healing Cleric, and a new Mage. Travelling from one city to the next, the party decides to visit a famous Dwarf Alchemist who lives near the route. On approaching, it seems that all is not well in the alchemist's […]
Welcome to level 4! We had gone back to town, sold loot, bought new loot, saved a Faery Dragon, or something like that, and headed back to the dungeon, delving deeper than we had before. After a quick encounter with some Wights we found a secret door that led in to a passageway. This corridor […]

We are then left with the arduous task of spending it. One of the items we thought about selling, to increase our cash considerably, was the Ring […]
I quite enjoyed playing a Bard, even though the use of the class features was limited and my spell list was pretty much useless against plants. Having a high Charisma was certainly different, and the skills used could be put to good effect. To get myself in to the role I practised my Sleight of […]
I'm sure many parties can relate to the characters and situations in the Order of the Stick comic strip series, which is why it is so popular, and our party is no exception. This, along with my lack of imagination for names, is why I named my Bard 'Elan'. Nevertheless, sometimes we are too much […]
It's never easy picking a weapon for a fighter-type character. One can either go for the standard weapons, like a longsword, or pick something a bit more exotic. A longsword, or the like, has the disadvantage of being rather 'normal', lending little character to the fighter, but at least you are likely to find them […]
The party, including Elan the Elven Bard, a Cleric, a Mage and a Barbarian with his pet dog, are hired by a village to find out what's happened to the food convoy that is late and is thus causing consternation amongst the public as supplies run out. We head off on the five-day trek to […]
