During the battle with the monster, after the Fireball was only a Fireball (to the chagrin of the Mage), our boatman and guide through the swamp was hit by a Magic Missile spell. We all watch the points of light come from the monster and hit the boatman solidly in the chest, sending him slumping […]
Continuing our adventure, our party was heading through a swamp, travelling in a boat. At a few points we had to get out of the boat and carry it up to 100 feet across a small patch of land so that we could continue our journey in the water on the other side. At one […]
This tale is not too old, but it is still likely to surprise most of the current players. I relate it because it is unlikely that anything can come of it now and the player who is at the centre of what happened is unable to continue playing with us for the forseeable future, which […]
The party, which included Greebo the Cleric, were hot on the trail of our quest item, and we thought we were getting close to it. At this stage we had to explore a tower in a desert region, and had descended to the lower realms to search for the next bit of the puzzle. We […]
During another mini-adventure, when we were a player or two down and played something other than the then-current campaign, I rolled up my stats and created a Human Fighter specialising in two-weapon fighting. It was a low-level adventure, so the character started at first level, and was accompanied by two other first level characters rolled […]
The party heads off to Undead Central, where we believe barely-alive bodies are being taken to have nefarious deeds performed upon their souls. We get to a waypoint and while we are deciding what to do next we notice a wagon heading our way. This wagon is in the middle of nowhere and looks just […]
We went to a circus! Okay, so we were investigating something and were poking around a bit, but we also got time to watch a show and even bluffed our way behind the scenes, letting us sniff around inside to see if we could spot anything amiss. It was all jolly good fun. Well, until […]
I was playing Wise Greebo the Cleric, whom I have mentioned before, and was camping with the rest of my party overnight out in the wilderness. When I was sleeping happily, probably dreaming of being at one with Garl Glittergold, an Ankheg or two attacked. Everyone was woken by whoever happened to be on watch […]
Stopping at a village for the night, on our travels to a town, our Mage, he of the great Intelligence, looks for an Inn. He pops in to one and asks, 'Do you serve alcohol?' It takes a keen intellect to think of these things.
Our Fighter failed his crucial saving throw against Mummy Rot again, rolling a natural 1. Meeting a Harpy later on, on our travels, gave him another chance to fail some saving throws, as he rolled below 4 for both his own saving throw and that for his mount against the Harpy's Charming singing. We went […]
