today i finally got my players in teh caves of chaos.
we are playing the "the classic d&d" (the one with zanzer dungeon).
players are: 2x fighter level 2, dwarf lv2, elf lv 1 (in the end of the adventure, he got to level 2), thief lv2, m-u lvl 2 and cleric lvl2. (and the evil cleric from the keep!)
we start ate the kobolds cave, and the party splited -one fighter and the elf to the "little woods" in front of the cave entrance- and the rest go to the cave.
thief and dwarf fall in the trap, and the kobolds attacked from the forest.
the party fought with all forces, the elf was unconcious and after winning the battle, they recued the dwarf and the thief.
ok, but i made a little mistake: the kobolds are suppose to do d4 of damage, and i did d6.
they retreat to the keep, heal the wounds, and in two days, they went again, but this time, to the goblins cave.
they fought with the goblins near the ogre secret room, and after the ogresmashed one fighter against the wall, the things went bad. i used the d4 damage, but they got beaten anyway.
the evil cleric from the keep decide to turn sides, and cast darknes in the m-u and still got time to cast in the cleric (the players got focused in fighting the goblins and the ogre).
results: one goblin runaway, with the evil cleric, to the commom room/goblin chief room (i didnt decide it yet). i choose not to call for goblin reforces, so the heroes pick up their unconcious fellows (mage, dwarf and fighter smashed by ogre) and run away to the town.
and thats for 2:30 hours of game.
we had a great time, lots of laughs, but here are the things:
they lack some strategy, and they got beaten very bad. should i give some tips, or let them figure themselves?
should i "level down" a little? (for the number of monsters, i mean)
the elf got to learn magic the same way as the m-u? or its like "natural", and as he lvl up, he already knows some magic?
they are new to the game, used to play "diablo"-like rpg, but they are very happy playing "the simple stuff" -their words , and 3 of them have played just 2 or 3 time in life.
