Hello all, I'm trying my hand at running a game for the first time ever and its going to be 5e for a couple. For context, I've never played it, but I've read the books. While I'm in my mid-30s, I only started gaming in 2008 with 4e. My life companion is a very experienced and very talented...

d8 (no armor) to Rawr. 3 damage to Rawr. Quick and powerful, Rawr scoops Sadia up by putting his big head against her knees. Right on cue, she leans back and then squirms to get in position so she can grasp a hold of his big neck as he leaps and climbs the roots on the slope up to me...

End of Session * Bonds – 2 bonds resolved so 2 xp: Otthor is the finest warrior I have ever been graced to fight alongside. His skill inspires me. Not quite yet. I’m going to take a melee combat move next time I level. It will be resolved then. The long, hateful memory of the Winter Fey...

My eyes briefly focus on the alpha, waiting for the moment he pops his head up. Predictably, it rises after he tears some flesh free. He flings it into the air and throws his head back to catch it. At full draw, I loose. But not at him. I wait until the last moment to see how well the trap...

Later I'll do the ferry conversation with my companions, all the End of Session stuff, Manage Provisions for the next day while on the ferry, and the Scout Ahead for the last leg of the Perilous Journey. However, there is a bit that needs done here. This is profane. Consecration and burial...

As I watch the pack of hunters walk off into the distant night, a skeptical look settles over my face. I clamber down the wall. The children follow me to intercept Otthor and Rawr. When he draws near, if he even has an inkling of an inquisitive look on his face, I say "...I know many things...

I throw my head back and cast a feral ursine call as far as my voice will carry it. I'm telling Rawr to not engage. Otthor is fine. If any of the other hunters attack though, let them have it. Order Follower (Loy) 5, 4 +3 = 12 They do it, now. Rawr takes a step back and gives the...

"Yes. Wake Sadia and Otthor." I place a hand on each of my animals and gently shake them. When all are awake, I place my finger to my mouth, point the other toward the stone stair leading up to the courtyard and whisper "...Firbolgs. The ones Sadia and I encountered days ago most likely."...

"This is as good of a defensible and sheltering location as we could typically hope for out in the wild." I scale the steps and survey the overgrown courtyard. Where two walls meet in the back, there is a a firepirt and delapidated spit. That means we won't have to make our own. Perfect...

So Rawr charged and trampled the first pack of raptors while the wolf just tried to keep pace behind him. Rawr is engaged with the frontal assault portion of the pack of raptors. The pack is now leaderless and their numbers are down to four, two of which are terribly injured. The dire wolf is...

Given that I have the drop on them, can I alert Rawr and my Dire Wolf and make a move as well? I hone in on the disturbed long grass up front. Six of them. They appear to have some kind of Predator-like power of invisibility. What are they? Pack hunters? Are the trailing ones circling...

And then later while we're preparing for our journey: "You and I can discuss matters privately while on the ferry. Once safely within Shinaelestra, we can speak to Sadia about it. We can discuss it the morning after rest so she will be fresh mentally. It will be a lot to take in."...

Covenant of Winter splooshed in the swamp. My bow lost in the fog somewhere. Down to my elven short sword and long knife, I draw them both. However, I'm going to reluctantly stall to see what this creature does once it has its hands on my necklace. I call to Otthor as he pulls the struggling...

The cold. The pitiful moan. Its all familiar to me. Defy Danger (Wis) 5, 5 +3 = 13 The call to despair barely registers. But I know malice when I hear it. These eladrin phantoms mean to bring us to a terrible end. I watch my valiant companion parry the chains intended for me but my mind...

I replace the strung arrow in my quiver and shoulder my bow. Once done, I move toward Otthor and step out of the fog at his side. "We meet again Farmer Barnum." "Is the ritual better ensured by her actual presence? I'd rather not expose her to this, but if I must then so be it." Take +1...
