Turn 7 I will survivf, hic.
GrRRRRrrr SHHH GRRRRR SH Grind
The door is open, a huge chamber, light spills in from the exit over the far side of the cavern, as does a raucous noise.
“I will survive, I know I know how to live, I’m alive.
I had a piss, a piss of cheez, Ayeeeeeee will survivf, hic”
The singing stops, nobody moves.
“I should be so lucky- lucky, lucky, lucky.
Lucky, lucky, lucky- lucky in love.
Lucky, lucky, lucky.
I will survivf, hic.”
The soft thump of Ogre feet from a chamber beyond, the creature is obviously disco dancing.
The party find themselves in a store room, Cas has found a barrel, mostly empty, he taps it, there’s an “X” mark where he’s pointing.
“Poisoned.”
Cas nods towards the exit.
“Get ready, this is it.”
He gulps and then creeps forward, the others follow on.
Out of the storeroom, an Ogre sized passage right, another straight ahead, the noise of revelry ahead.
The group creep forward, towards a huge chamber, the ceiling hidden from sight, a crackling fire in the centre, an enormous Ogre lurches around the chamber clutching a small keg, from which it swigs.
“I am the one an only, no body toooooooo.
OOooooooooooooooo.
…
Aye will survivf…”
“NOW.” Cas shouts.
Anya steps out of the shadows, points her wand at the creature, “Smidgin”, a force dart flies out and canons into the Ogre. Anya steps away again.
Newt, Jim and Mischa appear and open fire.
Thung
Newt’s crossbow bolt buries itself in the Ogre’s thigh.
Twong
Jim’s magical arrow catches the creature in its gut.
Thwung
Mischa’s arrow smashes the creature straight between the eyes, a critical hit; it staggers, puts its hands out for balance, finds nothing to hold onto and sinks to its knees.
DMs interlude- Critical Hit courtesy of Game Mastery Critical Hit Deck- very nice.
“I will…” The Ogre mumbles
Bec bursts through the crowd, greatsword in hand, charges.
“CAN I HAVE SANDWICH?”
SWWIK
And decapitates the Ogre.
“Survive?” Offers Lord Casimir, somewhat put out, his sword is only just out of its scabbard.
WOOOOOF
They turn in unison, back to the other passage.
And there endeth the first actual session of play.
Just a note about XP, I don’t give out a lot, so all the above, that's everything you've read so far, gets them-
Lord Casimir 140 XP
Mischa 167 XP
Jim Bowen 171 XP
Anya’Drea 189 XP
Bec 215 XP
Newt 401 XP
So you can see who’s in thick of it.
Next Turn: New Broom Sweeps Clean.
