The place is searched and a bunch of gold and a few gems are found. Having barely broken a sweat, save Phrenic, the PCs head on, this time Winstanley is sent south to see what he can find. Stats: The PCs with an 87.5% connection rate, and that's with 28 hits from 32 attacks, their dice never faltered. In comparison the bad guys 52.94% connection rate, 9 hits from 17 attacks- they didn't do any damage in turns 3 & 4 of the combat. Individual connection rates- 75% Winstanley (3 from 4) 83.33% Dirty (5 from 6) 85.71% Kaspard (6 from 7) 85.71% Phrenic (6 from 7) 100% Grey (8 from 8) Odd that the Striker should appear first (or more accurately- last) on this list. The PCs clocked up 420 HP damage in just 4 turns of play, that's 105 HP damage/turn on average; this against the bad guys 18.5 HP damage/turn, or 74 HP damage total. And Grey with another chunk of damage (132 hit points), he delivered 82 HP damage with his Fire Shroud alone.

Encounter #24 Practice Hall
Note this is Encounter #48 for this group of PCs

Winstanley silently shuffles down the southern corridor, the PCs following on a little way behind- noises ahead- a short corridor heads back West and ends in a slightly ajar door- some creatures are enjoying themselves.

Gnolls, by the sound of it.



The other PCs play catch up, and then Winstanley sneaks in to see what lies through the door- and comes face-to-face, almost, with another Hyena; a second of the creatures close by. The chamber itself seems to be home to a very large metal cage- inside of which is a large Dire Boar (yes, the one they are looking for).

The pair of Hyenas react instantly...

Comment: Nice opening for the PCs, although they're now about to get plugged by the Gnoll Huntsmen, or at least Winstanley should take a few shots- particularly if the Gnolls get a good initiative.

Comment: And that was another lovely combat, admittedly a little easy on the PCs but they loved having to battle their way through the Hyenas to get to the Gnolls- the fact that the Gnolls then tried to get away just increased the tension.

Dave (Dirty) was particularly proud of his charge in to the midst of the bad guys- it took him an Action Point to get there and deliver a hit- he's a bugger on his Charge attack with his Battle Helm (is that what it's called).

The chamber and Gnolls are searched- little is found... which just leaves us with Ulthand Deepgem's Dire Boar- and Dirty (Dave) is scratching his chin, but first the stats.

Stats: PCs connection rate up to 72.22%, that's pretty impressive- 26 hits from 36 attacks; the bad guys in comparison down to 43.48% connection rate, 10 hits from 23 attacks.

Individual connection rates-

60% Kaspard (6 from 10)
66.67% Phrenic (4 from 6)
66.67% Winstanley (4 from 6)
83.33% Grey (5 from 6)
87.5% Dirty (7 from 8)

The PCs were dishing out 65 HP damage/turn on average, as opposed to the bad guys with 11 HP damage/turn.

Two Action Points helped matters, as did two Critical Hits.

Next time- Dirty's new ride.

Session 6.
Encounter #24 Practice Hall- making friends
Note this is Encounter #48 for this group of PCs

Now to make the Boar their friend, decided to count this as part of the Practce Hall encounter, after a good chat the PCs decide that they are going to do their damndest to make friends with the Dire Boar. In truth Dave (Dirty) is beginning to see the value of not having to walk anywhere- this after I explained the rules for Mounts- something they had considered before, although they had seen a mounted combatant previously- a Bugbear Warrior riding a Rage Drake.

And thus we head in to a Skill Challenge (Level 6 Complexity 1)

Round #1

The PCs close in on the caged Dire Boar, making calming noises (I had the players act this out- giving a +1 for particularly impressive noises, sounds or gestures- made for some funny moments).

Dirty, Phrenic and Winstanley chose to attempt to aid Kaspard in her Heal checks- pointing out areas that need attention and offering advice- Phrenic and Winstanley are successful; Kaspard is able to cure some of the great creatures wounds- bites from the Hyenas and arrows from the Gnolls, having used the Boar for target practice. Success = 1.

In the meantime Grey uses his Nature Skill to remember all he can about Dire Boars, and in particular what to feed the beast- soon enough the creature is munching through the Wizard's rations. Success = 2.

Round #2

Dirty and Phrenic continue to aid Kaspard in her ministrations, both are successful, as is Kaspard again. Success = 3.

Winstanley tries to use his Nature Skill to aid Grey in suggesting ways and means to calm the beast, he succeeds and offers a little useful advice. Alas not enough as Grey fails his check and the beast butss the bars of the cage, opening up another wound. Success = 3 & Failure = 1.

Round #3

Kaspard and her helpers are quickly on the scene, Dirty and Phrenic succeed again with their attempts to aid her work- Kaspard quickly heals the Dire Boar's new wound immediately, and the Boar is calmed. Success = 4 & Failure =1.

The Boar is lead out of the cage- gingerly Dirty climbs on board, the creature stands stock still.

You would need a chisel to chip the smile from Dave's (Dirty) face.

Encounter #25 Shrine to Baphomet
Note this is Encounter #49 for this group of PCs

The PCs head on, lead again by a stealthy Winstanley, with a not so stealthy Dire Boar Mounted Dirty clomping behind- grinning.

Winstanley can bare it no longer- he indicates for others to wait and heads on, his Stealth Skill Checks so far have been 30+, however the other PCs are cramping his style.

Around a corner is a passage leading south in to a lit chamber- voices; Winstanley sneaks down, past a closed door (on the east wall), then another door (same), at the end of the passage is some sort of guard chamber, a pair of Tieflings within.



Winstanley turns tail and sneaks back out, pausing to listen at both doors en route back to his friends- the sound of a rumbling muttered conversation from the first door down the corridor. Soon after Winstanley is back with his friends- a plan is decided upon, and guess what- Dirty is going in Mounted.

The PCs move to the top of the corridor, then Phrenic and Winstanley creep to the first door down.

Grey Readied Action Combat Advantage Magic Missile GDS; Hit 8 Force damage (51 HP bloodied). Kaspard Readied Action Combat Advantage Daunting Light GDS; Hit 19 Radiant damage (32 HP bloodied) & Combat Advantage for Winstanley.

That went pretty much to perfection.

Grey- Magic Missile GDS; Crit 23 Force damage (9 HP bloodied).

Dirty & DB- Charge around the corner and straight into TD1&2. Dirty Charge Maul TD1; Miss and Marked & DB Charge Gore TD2; Hit 18 damage (46 HP) Pushed into wall and knocked Prone.

GDS- Screams out a Prayer to some Dark God. Heavy Flail Phrenic; Hit 16 damage (30 HP). Shift back.

Unknown to the PCs the Gnoll Demonic Scourge's prayers are answered.

TD1- Poisoned Short Sword Dirty; Miss. Cloak of Lurking- teleport behind Dirty & DB & Invisible.

TD2- Stand. Cloak of Lurking- teleport behind Dirty & DB & Invisible.

Dave (Dirty) is quickly frustrated.

Kaspard- Sacred Flame GDS; Hit 8 Radiant damage (1 HP bloodied) & 6 Temp HP Phrenic.

Phrenic- Wolf Pack Tactics GDS; Miss.

And that's about as well as it could have gone.

And at that point the second door down the corridor explodes open, actually smashed off its hinges, and wading in to the fracas comes a Barlgura, a large ape-like demon.
