[QUOTE="THEMNGMNT, post: 8475217, member: 6809274"] 6th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at level one: [LIST] [*]Dwarf Warrior. Heir to a lost kingdom -- in this case, Dwarvenhearth, deep beneath Ptolus. His trinket is half of a treasure map. [*]Elf Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised in Ptolus, keeper of a dark secret. His magical traditions are Arcana and Teleportation. [*]Goblin Magician. Responsible for the destruction of his tribe. Specialized in the Necromancy and Forbidden magic traditions. [*]Changeling Magician. An awesome background: Outcast by her "adopted family" and looking for her "sister"--the child she replaced. Her magical themes are light and darkness, using the Celestial and Shadow traditions. [*]Human Priest. Cleric of Lothian, the core god of Ptolus. His wife was murdered and now he seeks answers. [/LIST] The characters decided to track down a street preacher they had heard rumors about in the previous session. They found him on a crowded corner in the Temple District, shouting at passersby about a promised afterlife that sounded suspiciously like undeath. The priest engaged him in debate. Each dared the other to demonstrate their god's power. Dispensing with niceties, the priest cast a spell that frightened the street preacher. He responded with a spell that caused the priest's eyeballs to burst. Yeah, really. That's Shadow of the Demon Lord for you. However, that's not the campaign I want to run, so I dialed it back to the priest bleeding from the eyes and being blinded. That's not so bad...right? The preacher was aided by a pair of zealots that emerged from the crowd, their faces painted like skulls. The zealots went down quickly, but the preacher did not. He nearly dropped the priest and did knock out the elf. The characters had him outnumbered and eventually he had to flee. The goblin cast hateful defecation, which dazed the preacher and reduced his speed to zero. The characters surrounded and killed him. Then they looted the bodies. And then the preacher's skeleton tore lose from inside his body. The skeleton attacked the priest with single-minded focus. The other characters managed to destroy the skeleton before it could do serious damage. Spooky! The preacher dropped some hints about who his master might be that the players may choose to follow up on. Next session: The characters reach 2nd level! [/QUOTE]
