[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6045268, member: 20323"] [b]Play Report #1 (11/9/2012)[/b] I just got back from our first session of this new campaign, and it was intense! The bard-warlord died, the barbarian riding a hippogriff entangled the dragon with the bell tower chain of a church, the dragon was temporarily transmuted into a frog and fell 100 feet (with said bard-warlord clinging to its back ;)), the dragon deliberately crashed into a tower to collapse it, droves of allied NPC minions died, and the king is on the verge of capitulating to the dragon's demands! Lots of great roleplaying during the first hour or so...Zolar, the deva mage, made some hilarious comments about his rebirth and had some nice roleplaying with the other PCs about whether he was actually a divine messenger or just a delusional lavender guy. Miri, the human barbarian, had a comical time trying to find her horse (which is an immortal Nic'Epona from Planescape that can change coloration) in the King's stables. Raphael totally dissed some nobles and was a hysterical ass to the Knight Commander and local guard. Kirito was returning a token of a dead son (a death he was largely responsible for) to the father, the Knight Commander, who tried to arrest him on trumped up charges. Fortunately, Ardell convinced the guards to give Kirito a reprieve of imprisonment. During the king's birthday ceremony, each presented the king with a gift: Ardell (with Kirito) riding his coat tails, swore his allegiance and pledged his blade. Miri followed suit. Zolar presented a bottle of wine from the court of Bahamut. Raphael composed a scathing insult for the King's enemy of choice. :) Then ratcheting tension as signs of the dragon's imminent attack came: an apprentice Mage teleporting in from the tower of the most powerful wizard in the kingdom (which has been incinerated by the dragon), the dragon speaking thru the teleportation circle with the party mage, nervous horses/hippogriffs, bursts of red and yellow fires on the horizon, fleeing refugees and a forest fire...and then the dragon. I'd say half the session was a lethal battle against the level 15 solo red dragon (built as a 3-stage boss monster) Kaldwarag. They got the dragon down to ~250 HP and immobilize it, but they're down their healer, low on hit points, have precious little resources left, and the few NPCs left only hit on a 20... We left the session with a choice: Either play thru the combat and see where the dice fall...Or assume the battle reaches a standstill and the dragon is repelled at great cost (though it lives to fight another day). The group seems split over which way to go, we'll see what they decide. Mwahaha. :devil: At the end of the night one of the players expressed how surprised he was that a PC died, especially at paragon tier, because he thought that just didn't happen in 4e. Am I bad for secretly enjoying that? :) [/QUOTE]
