My younger brother, a theatre grad, has been appearing in several student projects. And his shoots sometimes fall on Saturday nights. Sometimes, the rest of us shoot the breeze for 4 hours instead of play. Other times, he Gandalfs on out of there. On Saturday, the party, finished clearing out Mountain's Toe Gold Mine and killed the Red Wizard of Thay necromancer who they REALLY didn't like. They didn't believe his cover story that he had raised a dozen or so zombies to serve as manual labor to excavate Old Owl Well. The funny thing is, it wasn't a cover story. He had really raised a dozen or so zombies to serve as manual labor because zombies don't need rest or food, don't complain, and are free. Also, they don't attract orc raiders. Which made them perfect for digging for chardelyn at Old Owl Well. The Red Wizard turned up at the mine and was going to raise some dead miners to serve him. And he finally got got.That's where things stood at the beginning of the session. No Isaac meant no Sorcerer. So we just had him having ridden ahead back to Phandalin to evacuate the town because Cryovain, the adult white dragon, was on the hunt for food and Phandalin was full of food for him to eat. Even without him, though, the party did pretty well. They finished LMoP a while ago. I gave them some Dragon of Icespire Peak dungeons to clear out to temporarily house the townsfolk because Cryovain has roosted nearby. Once they kill him, it will be time for Tyranny of Dragons. I lifted the opening chapter of HotDQ and increased the difficulty of the enemies to give the party a bit of a challenge. The Cult of the Dragon finally raised its ugly head in a random encounter and the half-dragon champion got the hell intimidated out of him. So now he's going to get buffed a bit and turned into a minor villain. And, since they only got through about 4 of the mini encounters in the session, there's still a few more and, if Isaac shows, the Sorcerer can easily reunite with the party.</blockquote>
