'If the dog wasn't in the way, I could cast Lightning Bolt.' 'He's only little. Fire it over his head.' 'I'm a gnome.' 'So fire between his legs!' 'I'm no expert, only being a mage and all, but I don't think Lightning Bolt works that way.' Thankfully, I have no such reservations about casting spells […]
'Um, before we get started on our excursion to kill this wizard, did it perhaps occur to anyone to get some healing? Just so that we don't start the next fight in a bad state.' 'For goodness sake. You've had all evening to mention this! Then again', says Thrak, after glancing at his character sheet, […]
We're trying to work out how to sabotage some siege engines. Our best bet seems to be for Thrak and Salvador to sneak up on them, throw oil on the engines, and then for me to cast Wall of Fire to set them all alight. It's not a bad plan, apart from needing to be […]
The orcs who overran the dwarf outpost have been defeated, along with their wyvern, which was killed single-handedly by little gnome illusionist me. I'm still waiting for my medal. Searching the outpost finds the dwarf bodies tossed unceremoniously in to a heap in the snow. 'I'll check to see that they're all dead.' '...' 'That […]
Our ride up to and along the mountain pass will need to be swift. We are given light warhorses, along with wands of healing. 'Use these on the horses when needed. If you push them too hard, they will just collapse.' 'Then let's stick to riding them. Plus, if we push them, we risk losing […]

'I need some adventurers to ride hard and fast in to the mountains and along the pass, calling on each guard post to check for […]
'Are we initiativing?'
Our audience with the king didn't go quite according to plan. Our general lack of charisma, and the presence of Thrak, leads us to have a warrant issued for our arrest. That doesn't sound like a good situation, particularly as 'arrest' is something of a euphemism at this moment, so we flee the city. Heading […]
We make it to Bresk, where our diplomat prepares for his audience with the king, hoping to change his mind about making a non-aggression pact with the enemy. To help our diplomat, we go to court to speak with the proxies of the lords and ladies of the land, those who are in a position […]
The soldiers have been prevented from slaughtering some travellers, with only one soldier being dropped in the brou-ha-ha. We may have to explain that to the authorities at some point, but, then, these soldiers are the authorities. We leave the implications of our situation to one side for the moment, as we need to decide […]
