Team Lake Aywin was quick to act, thrusting his pike into the newly arrived, newly burned by moonlight cultist, who fell backward into the lake. He struggled to get out, finally finding his way to the bank, only to be shot by Shade-9. He survived both the arrow and the lake, but he spent so...

That's not entirely true. You can do a fighting retreat for the storeroom, where you'd have more cover, and it will take longer for Siobhan to reach you. There are two potential exits in there: There is the "sewer" grate (currently under the oxen) and there is a staircase to a door (exit...

The Drow acknowledged Terrin as the cleric slipped past him and Rowlow, locked for the moment in a death-match. He glanced over his shoulder and saw what Terrin was thinking, looking toward the storeroom and the hallway that separated them, with its raised iron gate. "This idea you have," he...

Incidentally, while I understand that there are plenty of folks with wives who play TTRPGs, and wives who play without their husbands (or introduce them) and so on, in my particular case, I've been married for 23 years, and my wife only started to join us as a player in the past six months...

I might get more use out of the FR books, but I plan to use the Starter not just to teach people to play (I already do a lot of that) but to teach people to DM. The really cool thing: I am going to use it to teach my wife to DM!

I'm pretty excited, though not as excited as I am for the new Starter Set. I'm really hoping to see a new (and potentially good) direction forming here. Time will tell.

Apologies to Team Lake. I ran out of time this morning to post for you. I'm sure that I will get to it this evening.

Team Caves The Chief looked around. Nearly all of the kobolds were out of sight, cowering in their tents or quite literally under rocks. His own two bodyguards were there, but he was not about to give them up. He spotted a muzzled face peeking out from behind a rock, and he ordered (his spell...

TEAM INFILTRATE Encounter: Prison Time: ~16:05 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round Three

Team Infiltrate Getan was just waking up on the stairs when Terrin brought his staff down on him, but the mercenary was a capable sort, and he blocked the blow with his vambraces before kicking at Terrin as the cleric retreated down the stairs out of the reach of his legs. He climbed to his...

Team Caves Every time Merrick moved one of the larger rocks in the pile that had once looked like a dracolich, a small cloud of noxious fumes would assault his senses, and he retched. To make matters worse, much of it crumbled to gravel as he worked. After a few attempts, with his head and...

I have had a busy week. I will absolutely get up to date over the weekend, but probably not before Sunday. If you haven't posted yet, feel free to throw in anything you want me to comment on when I get to it. Otherwise, hold tight. We are getting into the thick of it now!

I ran it here PBP (we haven't quite finished) and IRL years ago. I don't particularly like the death curse itself and I find the dungeon a slog, but I've never been a fan of large dungeons. Otherwise, it's quite good.

"Get it lit." Stratus suggested to Anson, "We will cover you in case any more arrive." The rest are turned, right?

Stratus was ready to defend his allies. With his long arms, he reached his shield over Anson's shoulder and blocked the zombie's claws before it began to flee. He followed, but he did not stab at the back of a running zombie. Instead, he moved next to Havok and thrust his sword at one that was...

I think that it's fair that Caer's Druidcraft reduces Anson's lighting time by 1 round. It's helping the embers/coals light up, but it's a magical brazier, right? So the ritual sticks need to be involved to please the gods.

Stratus waved at Anson to light the brazier, then moved with him to "cover his back" while he worked.

We never would have guessed!
