D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

[pogre]

My group faced a Marilith as the climactic encounter. Wizard casts slow. Marilith fails save. Marilith instantly becomes an ogre with high hit points.

That's what I get for rolling in the open all the time!

PCs are still in Vallaki and causing trouble. Things are slowly building to a crescendo as different political factions intertwine.

Has the attack on the church happened yet? That was a great scene in our game.

no, not yet, but I do expect that to be quite the crazy scene. If the bones get returned though, does that prevent that from happening?

I think that’s the case. My players outwitted themselves and wound up in the church when it happened.

Our PC just met Izek as his long lost brother. It played out perfectly and was a surprising reveal.

We reclaimed a temple from the Empire, and kidnapped some of the emperor's demon bodyguards so we could study them.

Things in Avernus are getting wierd!

In the previous session, the PCs destroyed the Demon Zapper and freed the unicorn Mooncolor -- who turns out to be the living embodiment of a unicorn painted on a van, heavy metal soundtrack and all. Mooncolor decides to join up with the battlemaster, who is just the kind of guy that would drive said van -- much to the irritation of the the good hearted but luckless elf rogue. Bitterness, jealousy and hilarity ensued.

Then the Doom Marine's attacked. yes, powered armor wearing, pulse rifle wielding space marines (a mercenary faction on Avernus I inserted to highlight the fact that there are A LOT of different prime material worlds with gates to hell out there) come down hard on the party. They were never really much of a threat (they were Veterans and their rifles were modeled after cantrips cast at 5th level so 2dx damage and maybe an effect depending on what model it was) but that wasn't really the point. The PCs went all out on them just based on the power armor. Unfortunately for the PCs, the armor and weapons had heartbeat trigger self destruct mechanisms and everything blew up in a mini fireball when the marines were killed.

The PCs have arrived at the Crypt of the Hellriders and are ready to talk to some ghosts.

We just gamed tonight, in a campaign run by my son that takes place overlapping in time with the previous campaign he ran. Tonight the two campaigns merged, in that we met up with two of the PCs from the former campaign - only he's set things up such that we're allied with the major evil organization our last-campaign heroes were fighting, which put us at odds against the two prior-campaign PCs that showed up. He also figured out exactly when this adventure took place in the prior campaign: at a point in time where two of the players didn't show for the game session, so the other three players ran their PCs through a "steal a book from an arcane library" adventure. We now know why the other two prior-campaign PCs weren't there with the other three: they were busy fighting our "current campaign" PCs in tonight's adventure!

I need to get caught up. That sounds like a lot of fun!
