Dellmon Ranch. The Dessarin Valley. 9th Flamerule. 591 DR. A small ranch. About thirty or forty people to defend. And a warband of 40 orcs is on their way. It’s time for the adventurers to be heroes! It’s fascinating watching a group of adventurers at work, especially when you’ve got seven of them all there at the same time. There’s a lot of damage they … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, sessions 14-15
It is fair to say that the D&D Starter Set adventure, “The Lost Mine of Phandelver”, is a good adventure. I’ve run it at least four times, and each time the players are do things the other groups haven’t done. It’s a really good introduction to the game, and it manages this by just being a fantastic adventure. There’s a lot in it for experienced … Continue reading What to play after finishing the D&D Starter Set
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 24th Kythorn. 591 DR. The adventures had found a number of prisoners, one whom they recognised as the dwarf Bruldenthar. He was the delegate that the monks had demonstrated as being there of his own free will – he’d insisted that he was seeking enlightenment in the mines. This was certainly no longer the case, as he pleaded with … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 13
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 24th Kythorn. 591 DR. The adventurers had been charged by the Feathergale Knights to discover the evil lurking in the Stoneheart Monastery, and so they delved once more into its depths, first making sure they’d explored all of the upper level before going into the dungeons. The kitchens, dining hall and guest chambers proved deserted with nothing of value … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 12
These characters are certainly a bit late – for most of you, we’re moving out of Elemental Evil and into the Rage of Demons storyline, but we’re running a few 1st-level games set in Mulmaster at our local D&D Adventurers League games, and I wanted to make up a few characters that took advantage of the Mulmaster backgrounds for the potential use of the players. … Continue reading D&D Adventurers League “Elemental Evil” – unofficial Pregenerated Characters
It’s an interesting tactic to announce to your host that you were sent to kill him, but that’s what Thumbalina did upon meeting the head of the Feathergale Knights. She followed this up with the pronouncements that she’d changed her mind, they were all really cool, and could she ride a griffon please. Yes, you’ve got to enjoy the antics of the dwarf who thinks … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 11
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 11th Kythorn. 591 DR. Once again, the adventurers entered the monastery; this time with Krovis pre-emptively charging at the door on his newly acquired paladin’s mount and smashing it down. The minotaurs and monk behind the door were quite surprised by this and fell after a short combat, although – once again – Krovis was hurt rather severely by … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 10
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 10th Kythorn. 591 DR. With the lady abbot now dead, the adventurers expected a simpler entrance to the monastery. Not a bit of it! This time, three minotaurs awaited them in the entrance chamber, and the resulting combat was fierce and dangerous. Minotaurs can hit very hard indeed, and the group – Krovis in particular – was reminded of … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 9
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 9th Kythorn, 1491 DR The rest of the adventurers was disturbed by a small group of guards sent from the monastery to deal with the intruders; they came in the middle of the night, but were swiftly dealt with by the group without too much trouble. The next day, the adventurers prepared for another assault on the monastery, now … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 8
The Sumber Hills. The Dessarin Valley. 7th Kythorn, 1491 DR The adventurers were heading south-west from Rivergard Keep, hoping to discover the source of the strange giant vultures they’d seen about, although their knowledge of where they were was scant at best. They were thus delighted when they discovered a noble and his guard being attacked by several strange figures in stone armour. The noble … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 7
