[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6415973, member: 1210"] We played again last night! This time it was almost entirely dungeon delving, with the pcs leaving the side exit they'd entered through and re-entering via the front entrance, now that they could afford to pay the dwarves there to let them through. Along the way they met up with two new pcs: Sarec, a human barbarian outlander, and Drolc , a half-orc paladin whose mental stats were low enough that the player basically ran him as being mentally retarded. (In my game, everyone rolls stats; no point buy for my campaign!) The pcs explored a bunch and fought tons of kobolds, gaining copper pieces and pence (the city's equivalent of cps- have I mentioned the currency scam already?), before finding an elevator room that seemed to be nonfunctional, then the mechanism that enabled it. They descended to the second level of the dungeon where they fought four orcs, who were much more dangerous than the kobolds. The pcs retreated back to the first level and took a long rest, then descended again- only this time, there were [i]six[/i] orc guards waiting for them. Still, the pcs triumphed again! Somewhere in the middle of all this, they realized that I wasn't going to hold their hands or let them make Intelligence checks to retrace their steps. One guy tried to map a little, but kept trying to update it from memory and sketching passages on top of it and stuff, so I don't know how effective it's going to prove. Oh, old-skool dungeoneering skills, these kids today just don't have you! So far, nobody is dead, though many of the pcs have been pretty darn close, but now with a paladin 2, a paladin 1, a bard 2 and a fighter (who can second wind), they have a substantial amount of potential healing. So we'll see what happens next! The new paladin hit level 2 (the barbarian didn't because the paladin ran off and solo'd a few twig blights, so he had a few extra xps- the barb is like 3 xp from leveling). [/QUOTE]
