Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 8862569" data-attributes="member: 508">On Wednesday night's "Ghourmand Vale" session, we were guests at a club, sitting in the balcony watching an NPC bard friend sing a bunch of songs (two of which had been penned by my PC, each focused on a member of our four-person adventuring party), when we recognized a serving girl as a vampire spawn we had encountered in a city a week's travel to the north.  We went back downstairs, through the kitchen and out into the back alley, where we found her taking the dead body of a serving girl she'd slain and walking off.  We attacked her and brought her down to negative hp (like we had done earlier when we had first met her weeks ago), only this time it wasn't foggy out and we were able to track her to her coffin - or so we thought, because she went out into a field and seeped into a hole in the ground at the bottom of a ravine.  (Her coffin is likely in a cave down there somewhere, but we have no way into the cave at present.)  In any case, sitting on top of the hole and looking like a brush heap was a tendriculos, which gave us quite a run for our money, swallowing, paralyzing, and nearly killing our half-elf paladin (seriously, another round and I think he'd have been done for).  it also swallowed our archer, but luckily despite its regenerative properties, i was able to pummel it with scorching rays and magic missile spells (and our paralyzed paladin, inside the creature's gut, held a flaming burst longsword whose fire continued to deal damage from inside the creature even though the paladin was unable to move).  So we killed the tendriculos, determined there was no way to get to the vampire spawn, and returned to the club in time for the after-party, at which time we found out the songs had been a real hit and I was paid 15 gp for having written the two songs.  So now my PC, a human sorcerer adventurer, will be adding "songwriter" to his list of accreditations.After the adventure, I released the third song, about our archer (the first two dealt with the paladin and our rogue), which means the fourth will be about my own PC.Johnathan</blockquote>
