Our Fighter is an all-or-nothing kind of chap. When he is sure of a hit with his Greatsword he will use as much of a bonus from Power Attack as he can, ably felling some enemies with a single blow. When he is facing something a bit more difficult to hit he eschews Power Attack […]
Having approached things a bit cautiously for the start of the adventure we became a little cocky about not having taken any damage in the adventure after a few fights. The Ninja and I swam through a small pool of water to scout out possible exits to the room, and were attacked from beneath by […]
One of the players gets his character sheet back after having someone else play for him when missing the previous week. He scans it front and back to look for the tell-tale changes that indicate he's missing several limbs, has some interesting new diseases, or has beneficently bought everyone in the party a magical weapon […]
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 […]

She suggests throwing a sack over the skull, taking it out of the pentagram and carrying it around with us, letting it out whenever we need […]
Having bought and sold everything, everyone fully rested, new spells learnt, and a familiar with a short expected life summoned, the party heads back to the dungeon of doom. We head back to where we saw the stairs down the to next level without any troubles, and proceed to delve deeper in to the dungeon. […]
Before we started the gaming session our DM took us completely by surprise, saying, 'At some point during this evening I'm going to be asking you all to roll some D20s'. Uh, you don't say.
