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, […]
Two minor pieces of housekeeping before we begin: first, I am a wizard now, because of several reasons, but mainly because its what I wanted (and, as if to reinforce the wisdom of this decision, I’m pretty sure that making the change saved us from a TPK this week), and second, I have officially shattered […]
Pun intended. It’ll make sense. We arrived at Pelor’s Blessing, the agricultural town run by halflings and firbolg, which had been attacked by giants about two weeks before and was our first lead in researching the troubles in the north, and were met by Abbott Newtree, the spiritual leader of the town. He welcomed us […]
….almost a TPK. Seriously, we were so close. So, so close. The session began with the party, along with Cedric and Rain, in the Kennels, surrounded by Winston and his men. He was calling for us to come out, while we were exploring our options. While Rain, Cedric and I kept vigil at the front […]
Well, we didn’t die. We didn’t even come close to a TPK, in fact. Turned out I was right in anticipating hags, and that was about it. We started out with our fight against Anghus and the sprites and pixies, which went quite well, all things considered. Hector was almost totally shut out of the […]
Once again I’m writing this from my player perspective, but don’t worry, it’s not because I’ve died again. Yet. There are instead three other reasons for it. First, I haven’t quite found my new character’s voice yet. Second, I kind of enjoyed the approach I took to last week’s episode (despite everything that happened) so […]
Once again I find myself writing one of these from my player perspective, rather than my character’s, because, once again, after five sessions, my character has died. Yes, Makepeace is dead. Seems I just can’t get no luck. To begin with, we got back to Crowhaven and explained what happened at the ambush to Commander […]
