DAY 14 continued

• Almost a TPK.
• Only Servyna survived because she changed sides towards the end. (neutral alignment)
• She knew the bandit boss after all.
• The bandit boss (3HD) killed Arminda while she was low on HPs.
• Tomark was killed by three crossbow bolts on turn 1.
• Also, one of the guards turned out to be a bad guy, killed the other guard and attacked Voddin in the back.

____________
Post-Mortem: The dice were stacked against the PCs in combat and in "negative" story outcomes. Nonetheless, it was a fun mini-campaign. Reconnecting with B/X, in actual play, via OSE was rewarding. I really liked all the encounter procedures. I'll import those in my other games. Side initiative made handling combat much easier for the solo format.

Thanks for reading me!
