Spoiler Alert;
Last weekend, we played a session of Drakkenheim where we got our butts comprehensively kicked, but it was an awesome game regardless.
Having assisted the Knights of the Flame in liberating one of the gates from the beastmen/gnolls, the party shadowed the fleeing survivors back to the Cathedral of St Vitruvio. We decided on a “reconnaissance in force”; big mistake!
Our level 7 quartet came up against the Lord of Feasts and associated minions and barely escaped a TPK. My rogue got away after some vaguely effective sniping and then undignified fleeing, the wizard escaped by misty step and then polymorphing into a giant eagle, who then carried off the barely alive dwarves fighter and the 0HP barbarian.
It all sounds pretty grim, but it was actually an awesome game session, both atmospheric, dramatic and terrifying in equal measures. It also reminded me that losing battles can be just as much fun as winning them.
Kudos to @TheSword , our brilliant DM
