'Okay, everyone make listen checks.' 'What are we listening for?' ' ... Uh, sounds.'

Not only was Grot not present this week, nor was the Ninja's player. However, he was clearly with us in spirit, as Garrick's player took over and managed to capture the elegance the Ninja brings to the game. When fighting another batch of evil dwarves, in the first round of combat the Ninja: Moves and […]

We fight evil dwarves! Grot steps up to the battle and hacks and slashes his way through the little blighters, until no more are left standing. Well, except for the invisible ones who attack him without warning. Two pop out of thin air and stab him, one of them quite hard. He fights back, with […]

It is almost a rule that if you are not present for a gaming session then your character will be brave to the point of stupidity or will end up quite badly harmed. Probably both, as one leads to the other. This is a scientific feedback mechanism that encourages players to turn up for each […]

After disposing of the threat from the Drow and their minions, the Ninja takes a look at the secret door, as we are intrigued as to what lies behind. With the rest of the us standing safely to one side, the Ninja searches the door for traps, managing to find one that protects the door. […]

To help out in the fight against the Drow and Grimlocks, the Mage, a specialist Conjurer, summons up yet more creatures to aid us in battle. This time we get some Celestial Riding Dogs. Once they are called they get to work attacking the Drow ahead of us. The first dog attacks, hits, and deals […]

Getting through the door that blocked the Ninja's head's access, we encounter some more Drow and their minions. It looks like we have stumbled in to the quarters for the guards, and we fight our way through a few waves of fairly weak foes. It doesn't take long to take them all down, so we […]

'Shall I roll a Move Silently check?' 'Um, you have a Silence spell cast on you.'
