[Goonalan]

UPDATE

My main game the EU Campaign playing the Red Larch adventure- Session #25 added.

Note- My players come here, I'm obviously not going to put the real name of the adventure we are playing- although in truth I've ripped apart at least four adventures, added lots of stuff of my very own, and welded it all back together into, well... you'll see.

1) On the Road to Phandalin.
2) The Rescue Mission.
3) Out of the Frying Pan...
4) Meet the Redbrands.
5) A Meeting of Minds.
6) The Invasion.
7) An Accidental Slaying.
8) Death to the Router.
9) Glory to the New Router.
10) Dead Bad.
11) Kill or Care.
12) Ongoing Investigations AKA WTF?
13) A Sudden Death.
14) Let's Slay Together.
15) Venomfang!
16) King Grol!
17) Fire & Lightning.
18) Grimm the Wanderer.
19) Fire & Nice.
20) Caught by the Ghoulies!
21) Bugbears Are Go!
22) The Black Spider is a Bastard.
23) The Showdown.
23a) Downtime Activities.
24) To Triboar.
25) Gnolls in the Rusty Gorgon.

In which the guys come out (faction-wise) in Triboar, and then head off into the Dessarin Valley, stopping off at the Black Maw Bog Bridge en route to a lovely night in the Rusty Gorgon Inn. At which point the Gnolls turn up to ruin the party...

Thank You.

UPDATE

The Old School Gamer's (singular) Campaign, playing a version of Keep on the Borderlands, actually the lairs from the Caves of Chaos- Session #1 added, the beginning.

1) The Black Horn Kobold’s Lair.

In which the guys rescue a Dwarf from a Kobold ambush, and then get hired to head in and clear the scaly creatures out of their lair- it all goes smoothly, well- nearly.

PS We'll be into Thunderspire Labyrinth with James' Points of Light campaign in a few weeks, just as soon as I get around to building the scenario in Fantasy Grounds.

Cheers Goonalan

R&R doesn't last long- the adventurers are in search of work early the next morning.

Thank You.
