I had a very strong party of six Felonious Assault rogue 1 cleric 2 human. Keiko Battle master 3 human. Lily cleric 4 elf. Saffron rogue 3 human. Geff warlock 2 Tabaxi. Hayden Spitfire sorcerer 3 dragonborn.

A flash of light. As the group is trying to get there bearing, a human with a goldish shirt walk in asking for Sam.

AL, “Sam are you in any of these bodies? Gooshie, I have six people in the chamber. One is in a cat furry costume. Another is in a Gorn costume. Another is a Spock knock off. How did Trekkies get in here. One of them is holding a samurai sword to my throat. Give him a nightly night.” Dart flies out the light dropping Keiko.

Multicolored lights flash a fat short balding white hair human steps out them. “Greetings Ranger, Wizard. Barbarian. Oh dear. This is wrong.”

AL, “You are in the top-secret facility called Quantum Leap. Gooshie, any location on Sam. Why are you here.”

Dungeon Master, “Greetings. I was looking for kids on a roller coaster. Any way. Greeting Sam Admiral. Rogue Cleric. Cleric. Battle master. Rogue. Warlock. Sorcerer. You are going to put right that once was put wrong. In the world of the Forgotten Realms.” The group and bald dude disappear.

AL, “Gooshie, did you get a trace?”

Dungeon Master, “Help this person out.”

Myrna, “As I was saying before the light cantrip flashed in my eyes. Powel is going to turn the Nathlum over to the Zhentarim. It is three days to library. It is the only standing structure. I will pay 100 gold each if you return. It has spells and poison recipes.”

Three days later they find goblin tracks leading to library. Felonious sneaks up and listens three are bullshitting, one is asleep, and a worg is with them. The group sneaks up and kicks open the door. Keiko dashes in and finished of the first. With help from the rogues, he takes the second out. The clerics take out the third. And the fourth is drop by carry over damage. The worg is so confused he dies with only getting little nibbles in. Keiko moves on to find some more goblins in the rotunda.

Keiko, “Die Goblin Boss.”

Goblin Boss, “Sorry. Not sorry. Goblin number three switch places with me while I run up the stairs.”

Goblin Three, “You are a sucky boss. Hey guys follow the boss upstairs while the party is killing me. They wouldn’t be able to get to you except by one person.”

Group, “We have bows, spells, and daggers.”

Goblins, “Frack you. We die for your greater XP count.”

A short rest and Keiko is charging in to mess with hobgoblins. Saffron, “Wait up. I want to play too.” As she charges into the room she feels a tap on her shoulder.

Hobgoblin 2, “Nat 20 for 24 damage.”

Hobgoblin 3, “Dirty 20 for 2 death save fails.”

Hobgoblin 4, “Clean 1 for a miss.” Hayden slides into the dying rogue and slaps a Band-Aid on her.

Geff, “Where did the bear come from?”

Lily, “You see when mama bear and daddy bear.” After some looting they move downstairs to the basement level. Keiko opens the door an sees half the floor has collapse into a chasm. A small 70 foot deep one.

Keiko, “Spiders how did have to be spiders. Get the swam of spiders off of me.” A rounds of fire bolts, fire breath, and fire whatever, the group is exhausted and beds down for the night.

We will pick this back up in the lower rotunda 8.

DM Notes. I am going with Quantum Leap and the Dungeon Master from the cartoon to explain why there is no story line. New people feel free to swap out pcs between sessions. I will be running theses in level order and there are a lot of tier 1 stories. If the minimum gp is not there, I will bump it up to it.

If there is a tier difference, the lower tier does max damage. But health stays the same. More of them will be added to come up to strong or stronger parties.

For those with phones, as a back up have the leap sound cued up.

End of session 631.

Adventures in Faerun Session 2

The Lost Library of Letchauntos

The Curse on Humble Hill

Day 2 -3

PC Killed 0 Monsters Killed 32 Villains Captured 0 Villains Escaped 0

Start Time 6:30 PM End Time 9:04PM

Take 10 down time days. 120 GP. Take 2 levels.

Magic Items Nathlum.

I had an average group of four. Felonious Assault rogue 1 cleric 2 human. Keiko Battle master 3 human. Lily cleric 4 elf. Hayden Spitfire sorcerer 3 dragonborn. Walker Fighter 1.

Welcome Walker to D&D and Adventure League.

A strange sound is heard and the party has a new member and missing three. The chaos fog has stolen the bodies. Introductions are made and they let the new guy choose a door. It leads to a summon circle.

Walker, “Hey I just had this class six weeks ago. The wizard was cute in her go-go boots. It summons beasts and only woodland.”

Hayden, “How the hell does a fighter know that?”

DM, “First time player, with new dice. And first roll of the night is a Nat 20. And the highest result.”

The rogue checks out the door next to circle and hears a dice game going on. Hayden and Keiko open the door and convince the soldiers they are new recruits. Fred gets tick losing to the new guy. And orders them to follow them to the boss Powell. Felonious sneaks her owl familiar into the room to the out going door. The tanks are happy. They see Powell studying the Nathlum.

Powell, “I did order new backup. Guards kill them.” The tanks are unhappy their buff did not fully work. They are about to be surrounded and killed with their backup two rooms over.

Hayden, “I not being surrounded or killed. The samurai maybe. MISTY STEP.”

Keiko, “I will do your light work cowardly sorcerer who mother smelled of elderberry wine. There are only four enemies. Now three.”

DM, “Well actually its more than that as three goblin warriors and another Zhent soldier come out the break room. They swallow their doughnuts as they charge you.”

Felonious, “Actually, they are down one soldier.”

The guard captain pulls out his two-shot derringer and shoots Keiko in the face! Keiko, “How can they shoot twice. It is not fair.”

DM, “Monsters cheat. Monsters want to live too. And it in the monster description sword and pistol. Any two attacks.”

The group chews through the bad guys and sees the book. This is what they came for.

DM, “The book is in front of you. What do you want to do? You can take the book and leave. Or explore more.”

Hayden, “I want to check out the breakroom and see if there are any more doughnuts.” Hayden finds no snacks.

Felonious, “I say we take the book and book it.”

Keiko, “Booking sounds good.”

Walker, “Book it.”

Hayden, “Book it.”

Sounds of leap. Introduction music. The group is before the stairwell to an underground complex. A white door opens and AL enters.

AL, “Hello. Gooshie says you were hired by a you Sister Liana of the seeds of Cultivation. You enter the lab and never came out.”

Walker, “Hey I seem to remember the priestess offer us 100 GP if we cleaned out the lab. But those are not mind memories. And I need some Brasso to polish my sword.” Enter the lab complex they encounter a death dog. It tries to eat the front line but only nips Keiko on the heel.

Arriving at the ooze chamber they met an ooze which tries to give Keiko a headache but it does not work. The trash pit chamber has uncle Bob who has morph into a mushroom and wants the group to join the colony. That does not happen. The lab gives clues some one is in the supply room.

Keiko, “I am from OSHA and you have numerous violations. Stand too. Quit puking on my shoes and take me to your leader!” The two toughs hold on to him for dear life and stagger toward the Prison room where the boss is located.

Boss, “Quit puking it was only a little food poisoning. Sorry. You are from OSHA. And want to fine me for running an illegal lab. And OSHA violations totally up to one hundred gp. Kill him my minions. I said kill him. Not puke on him. Quit bleeding on him.”

Walker, “I charge the room and hit him for seven.”

Boss, “I waste him with my crossbow DM.”

DM, “Not on a nine.”

Boss, “Frak my life.”

Keiko, “Too bad it going to be short. 18 damage.”

Boss, “Talk about fracking over kill. I only had 3 left.” The dungeon is cleared.

Leaping sound.

DM Notes. Corrected the wrong number of downtime days as I gave 10 days last week. Since you are in other people’s bodies, a DC 12 history check can be used to shift through their memoires. This will increase by 3 per tier. You level up with each adventure completed but since we are not stopping to do so during game night, you will occasionally get 2 or more in the write up.

Nathlum. Look it up. If you have the poisoner kit you can make the poison. Any poison must be made at the table.

End of Session 632.

Adventures in Faerun Session 3

Robber Baron

The Siege of Shalespire Priory

Day 3 -7

PC Killed 0 Monsters Killed 52 Villains Captured 0 Villains Escaped 0

Start Time 6:13 PM End Time 9:45PM

Take 10 down time days. 160 GP and 2 CP. Take 1 level.

Magic Items Potion of Climbing. Invisibility scroll.

I had a strong group of five. Felonious Assault rogue 1 cleric 3 human. Keiko Battle master 4 human. Eric Fighter 3 human. Blazer fighter dwarf. Lorin Ranger 4 Aasimar.

AL, “You were hired to sad …. SAVE. SAVE. (The Muse is now making me mistype.) The Baron Rolf brother Adon. None of you returned.”

They leap in toward the end of the conversation where they are offered 50 GP each. The location is an old border control post. It takes a day to get there and the scouting of the owl sucks. They low crawl half way to the left entrance before they see the look out and his pug dog. They slowly shift right and get into the right tower. Hearing some guards and a dog, Keiko rushes in and starts swinging. Most of them fight their way into the room and succeed in taking Tough number 3 prisoner.

Blaze, “Tell us.” Punch. “What!” Punch. “We want.” LEAPING NOISE.

Lorin leaps into Tough number 3. “Hey why am I in a male body. The Dungeon Master didn’t tell me that would happen. I going to punch that balding freak in the balls.”

DM, “Hey. The hair is mostly there. In my drain,”

Lorin, “The other DM. In Gooshie’s chamber. What was knowledge roll to access our bodies memoires.”

DM, “Tier 1 is DC 12. Tier 2 will be DC 15. Tier 3 will be 18 to represent your scramble brains.”

Lorin, “15. Okay Adon is in the basement. He should be guarded by the Priestess. The entrance on this side is one room over.” The plan have the rogue pick the lock. Erik will hide in the corner, the rogue in the other corner, and two fighters in the opposite hallways.

Wendi, “What the hell Tough Number 3. Who told you to pick the lock? When did you steal lock picking tools.”

Lorin, “You are kind of cute for an naughty word. And I can talk to how I want. Madron is going to be out soon. And I want my 50 GP cut.”

Wendi, “The ransom is 1,000 GP and you get your cut when you get your cut.” She slams the door. A slap is heard.

Keiko, “I think we will be asking for more money. I kick the door open and roll 18 DM for 15 damage.”

Wendi is cut in half and while untying Adon, the plan is made. They will low crawl out the back door. A day later in the royal chambers.

Baron Rolf, “Thank you for rescuing my brother. The servant has given you each a bag of gold.”

Keiko, “We heard the ransom was 1,000 gp and.” DM punches the Leap Sound cue.

Keiko, “You GOOBER.” They arrive back in the chamber. Taking a long rest somehow.

AL, “The Siege of Shalespire Priory fell to goblins in 1488 who still own the place.” Cue introduction. The group arrive inside the bodies of various commoners as they flee toward the prior of Lathander.

Felonious, “Inside my true love. I will save you.”

DM, “the goblin’s arrow hits your lover in the head. Killing him instantly. You mission hold off the goblins and their wolves while everyone else gets inside. Behind you see the goblin raiding party and your home town going up in smoke.” Keiko charges the two goblins and wolves near her. Everyone else dances with individual teams.

The commoners rush in and start closing the shutters. Keiko is swarms by goblins, wolves, and the sniper boss. After nearly dying she and the rest of the team fall back into the church and take a nap.

Lac the Breaker, “Dear citizens of Shalespire, send out half your people for lunch.”

Lorin, “We are fasting this week. Go away.”

Lac the Breaker, “As OUR lunch. Or I am sending in my door knocker.”

Felonious, “Knock it off if you had a door knocker, you would have. CRAP! IT is an ogre with three hobgoblins with short bows. It is getting closer. It has battering ram. And it smiling.”

Keiko, “After my beauty nap, I open the second door. Run around the tree and flank the ogre.”

DM, “Interruption. Four Bugbears throw hammers at you and try to charge into the open door.”

Erik, “I will intercept them.” The second battle begins.

Lac the Breaker, “SNIPE THE SAMUARI MY HOBGOBLINS!”

Keiko, “Quit rolling NAT 20s and Dirty 20s DM!” The ogre works on the door as a Bugbear grabs Erik in a sweaty hug and hauls him to gets his ashes hall. A second one grabs Blazer and he take two arrows to his hams.

The ogre breaks the main door open and swings and misses on Felonious. She rolls between its legs and starts with the healing spells. Keiko follows the ogre and while maintain cover kills it. She ducks back as three arrows barely miss her. The bugbears have dragged the lunches halfway to the fire.

Group, “What fire DM? Why are you drawing a big fire just now at the end of the map?” Two bugbears fall.

Bugbear, “So Erik. You smell nice and that nervous sweat with just season the meat. Hey no stabbing the cook!” The bugbear dies just before the fire and Erik charges the second bugbear to save Blazer. The bugbear hip checks him into the dirt and raises Blazer to toss him into the pit.

Blazer, “I cut his throat and kick him into the fire. Now we are having a cook out.”

DM Notes. No Long Rest. No Short Rest. No Rest for the Wicked. We will pick up at the top of the round.

Initiative and HP. 23 Felon 2 HP. 19 Keiko 26 Hp. 18 Hobgoblin ALL HP. 17 Erick 18 HP 7 + Lorin 22 HP. 7 – Blaze 17 HP. If you want to level up your pc, you get the HP bump, spell bump. If you want to swap out your pc they will be swap out with the commons by the shrine. Levels 2 to 4 I will make and HP, Spell, etc. adjustment downward.

I will occasionally have you leap into enemy bodies as the story and your arrival at the game dictates.

End of session 633.
