'You run your longsword through him and he drops to the ground, dead.' 'Good. That means I can move and not provoke an opportunity attack.' 'Not from the dead kobold, you're right.' 'I meant the other one, the one that's still alive.' 'But you also don't provoke from the dead one.' 'Which I believe is […]
Wandering through the countryside, having killed the commander of the Boratian army and our main contact, nowhere near any sites that have offered clues about the Red Hand Gang, and stumbling towards a town that was vaguely mentioned, we are quite sure we've lost the plot. This is not a good position to be in […]
'Make a listen check please.' <rolls a D20, adding his Listen skill modifier> '27.' 'Morning's coming...' 'Blimey, that was a good listen check.' '...and you hear a noise outside.' 'Hark, fellow adventurers, I think I hear the sun rising!'

Our murder investigation leads us on to ask questions of a diplomatic envoy, a general of his native city, who was with the councillor the previous night. The pair were heard by the councillor's butler to have been in a heated argument together, which was worthy of investigation, if only to exclude him from being […]
An old player who left the group because of moving overseas popped back in to the country and came along to a session to catch up with everyone. We kept our current campaign running and the GM had to think of some way to weave him in to the story temporarily. We start playing, and […]
