    D&D 5E (2014) [IC] Adventures in Middle-Earth – ‘Where Rivers Run With Gold’

    Ulfred watched as Ursa rushed past him and a giant spider burst from the webs. “Well that’s a beast.” Ulfred said as he readied his bow to take a shot at the monstrosity. AC currently 14 with bow Initiative: 1D20+2 = [20]+2 = 22 This isn’t a good start. Wasted the twenty on initiative...

    I was right about Shield Master

    Unless I'm wrong, I've had a long week and a few drinks so that is a possibility. RAW is rules as written, an author can mean one thing and write another. RAI or rules as intended would be in JC and all the other authors in agreement discussing what was meant by the rules. But 5 years after it...

    I was right about Shield Master

    Why do we care what JC says now? Sure when he was helping to write the rules of 5e a few years ago his opinion carried some weight, but then he and others in the book he wrote told the DM's to read the books and make rulings and he gave the rulings power over the rules he created. So four to...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E's "Missed Opportunities?"

    I listen to the new season of critical role on my commute and I love it. I love Mercer as a story telling DM (though he is a bit hit and miss on the rules, for an experience DM) and I love the great role play. Now there is a lot in the CR game that is playing as entertainment, mostly Sam as...

    D&D 5E (2014) [IC] Adventures in Middle-Earth – ‘Where Rivers Run With Gold’

    Ulfred smiled tensely, “I am Ulfred of Dale, I’m not much for climbing so I don’t like my chances going over the wall. My best bet is up the stairs.” Ulfred’s smile brightened when he saw that Caranthir had freed himself and made it to the top of the wall. “I’m going to head slowly towards the...

    D&D 5E (2014) [IC] Adventures in Middle-Earth – ‘Where Rivers Run With Gold’

    “I’m with Ursa, fire is unpredictable, its best to get Beldor free first.” Ulfred said as ran his tongue along the inside of his lip. “If we can get Caranthir free, he and Heimdar can go over the walls to free Beldor. Ursa can cause a distraction and I will cover her from a little farther back.”...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barkskin *Might* Be the Worst Spell Description I've Ever Read

    This. Barkskin is fairly easy to read and understand but it just doesn’t make a lot of sense, especially with how cover doesn’t affect it. It is what it is and I understand some of the reasons it works the way it does, it just doesn’t seem to fit into the narrative of most stories, at least most...

    D&D 5E (2014) [IC] Adventures in Middle-Earth – ‘Where Rivers Run With Gold’

    Ulfred moved quietly up to the others as he watched Caranthir struggle to get out of the web. He turned to the others and whispered, “Do we have a plan? Or are we just charging into the fire?” How far are the stairs from where the Caranthir is currently stuck? For the moment Ulfred will walk...

    D&D 5E (2014) [IC] Adventures in Middle-Earth – ‘Where Rivers Run With Gold’

    Ulfred bit softly on his lip, great giant freaking spiders, he thought to himself as he looked back towards the group and shook his head as he saw Caranthir attempt and fail to climb the wall. Ulfred moved as quietly as possible back towards the group, as he pointed towards the wall he mouthed...

    Ulfred nodded his head at the wild looking man and his dog. He tried to hide his worry and his annoyance at all the noise they had been making. Between the noise he made going through the underbrush, the wolf and Ursa and the man talking the whole woods would know they were coming. Ulfred held...

    Ulfred sighed heavily as he looked at the ground. “It looks like Baldor ran into a large spider-web.” Ulfred shook his head, “there are drag marks, this isn’t good. ” “I know this may be dire, but I suggest we move with caution.” Ulfred said, with a forced grin, as he tried to display a calm...

    Ulfred woke with a start at Beldor’s cry, his head clearer than normal as it was not laden by the residue of a night of drinking. “What in the blazes,” Ulfred muttered as he shook Ursa in an attempt to wake her. “Belgo, don’t do anything foolish, best to stay calm and stay with Ursa and I.”...

    Ulfred wrapped his fur lined cloak tightly around him. “Best layer up if you can, it’s going to be a cold one tonight.” Nodding to Ursa, Ulfred flashed a smile, “We will watch over you my friend, may Beorn grant you safe travels.” Turning to the others Ulfred nodded, “It’s nights like these...

    I love KP and have backed most of their products in the last year. Did not back the Creature Codex but will pick it up of their website in the next few months.

    Ulfred laughed as Ursa joked with the boy. “Man-eating elf grass, now that would be a tale. Not exactly the heroic way I would want to be remembered though.” Ulfred chuckled as he looked around waiting to see if Caranthir would put the tale to rest, or string the boy along.

    “What a place!” Ulfred exclaims as he resettles his pack. “Oh there will tales to tell at the best taverns in Dale of this adventure. Walking through Mirkwood, just the five of us.” Ulfred looked around at the group, “Well best be going the sooner we start, the sooner the tale of our...
