Let me tell you a little about a feller named Kinglaaph – King, to his friends. A wingless aarakocra, King has pink feathers on his head and chest, which turn pale, almost white, from the forehead up, and grey feathers elsewhere. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and a poncho over a leather vest with various […]

First of all, the most pertinent fact of the session: it was my fifth with a character and I did not die. The curse is absolutely broken, any way you slice it. Officially, Cardigan is now my longest surviving character since about August last year. It is a wonderful feeling. The other important fact, as […]
So this week I found myself running away from a dragon, but none of my party members died, which is nice, and I also didn’t die, which is nicer. We came awfully close to a death, but the dice were just favourable enough not to make it so. Not that things were easy, no sir. […]
I seem to be doing a lot of running when we get into combat. Doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s chasing or fleeing, though to be fair, it’s mostly been fleeing. I dread the day when we get into a fight in an enclosed room. Let’s start at the beginning. We had two nights on […]
As the session began, the first thing I did was rapidly defuse the situation with the Redbrands outside their tavern. Considering that we had heard rumours of a secret tunnel that they were using, I figured we had no need to get into a scrap in the streets. Instead, we bid them adieu and made […]
New year, new campaign. Woot woot! This time, since the next homebrew campaign our DM was planning wasn’t nearly ready yet when he brutally murdered us all, we are running (or, should I say, the plan is to be running, since you never can be sure what’s going to happen in a D&D campaign) through […]
So this is one of those ‘good news, bad news’ type things. The good news is, the five-sessions-per-character-before-death curse on me has ended. The bad news is, it didn’t end in a good way. I believe the technical term is ‘TPK’. We started with Leo, Hector, Kaly, and Mr. Speaker being met by the Griffon […]
No bullshit. I’m not even kidding. Zero is dead. Five episodes, and Zero is dead. This is uncanny. I think I might be cursed. Let’s start at the beginning. Obviously, the assault on Gruddhaug didn’t go so well. The next stage was fine. As we came up the ramp towards the entrance to the main […]
Given that we had nearly a week’s wait until our hired knights would arrive, we decided to give Gruddhaug another reconnoitre to see the effect our dropping a giant from the sky had on its inhabitants. We were planning on further mayhem, but then we discovered that the Mallakarthian reinforcements were extensive, and included a […]
Our latest session was cut short on account of my having some internet troubles, so this is only part one, the second part to come after we finish up on Sunday (which, it turns out, we are able to do). That being said, for a short session that was interrupted often by lost internet connections, […]
