Ptolus: Midwood - "The Dark Waters of Moss Pond"

OK, well, that makes more sense ... sort of!

The summoned octopus is the familiar of a character in another game, set in the Sea Kingdoms city of Gharon.

Smashing that damn scroll tube was cathartic. We kept fiddling with that damn thing for days.

And once we found out our creatures summoned were still normal size, boy were we set sending nasty beasts after big creatures. And the imagery sets up some ideas I have for Kat if he lives long enough...

If I'd had the Big Book with me when I'd started designing the Midwood campaign, I would have made the conflict between the Old Gods of Prust and Lothianism a core element of the setting. Fortunately, The Dragonfiend Pact explicitly touches on a very similar issue and was easily adapted to cover this ground.

If/when we jump the campaign forward a bit with the coming of 4E, I'll likely retcon in the Old Gods into the barony as well.

I'd forgotten how helpful I was in this fight.

Renraw was instrumental in the other fights. He had to let the team carry their own weight.

Oh my god THANK YOU Whiz for keeping in the Renraw dream sequence. LOVED THIS SO MUCH.

 

[Renraw Kem]

Heh-heh. Had fun writing that. Thought it would be a good way to show how Renraw sees himself and what he wishes his relationships were like.

Tock and Renraw discussing the flaws of the plan was brilliant.

Sorry for the delay in posting: A family visit, pre-holiday work rush, holiday shopping, city council meeting and, of course, a four month old baby all conspired against me.
