Pasha, Nerrick and Herbivore have been captured. This aggression will not stand. Thankfully, a couple of ally scouts have been sent to find out what we're up to, and are willing to help rescue my colleagues. An enemy scout, killed in the earlier melee, is dug out of the snow and his uniform taken, which, […]
'You hear a screech above, and looking up you see a creature that is half-eagle, half-horse flying down towards you. The odd thing is that there's a woman riding it.' 'Mmm, I don't think that's the odd thing about this.'
A decrepit door is nearly our downfall, as our dexterity-based party is nearly turned around when pushing with all our might does nothing. Only by happening to pull a strong creature out of Pasha's Bag of Tricks do we get past this obstinate obstacle. Inside the ancient tower we find the resting place of the […]
'Before you even get to the junction, you hear a banging and a horse shouting.' '... what's it shouting?'

The spell 'Obscure Object' is ineffective against the Hipster.

Have we found everything of value? How can we know, until someone casts Detect Magic? Pasha goes above and beyond the call of duty, not only casting the spell but making sonar noises as he searches for magic, 'Bing! Bing! Bing!', until I throw his pencil out of the room. We find a couple of […]
Defeating the Bugbear slavers and their overseer, we are left with the excellent task of looking for loot. We find a chest. 'It's not locked', says the GM, but we're not naive adventurers. 'I'll check the chest for traps.' Having the GM tell me, 'let's say it isn't trapped', doesn't fill me with confidence. 'Is […]
