[QUOTE="Azul, post: 1788742, member: 11779"] In the campaign I DM (homebrew setting), the party is exploring a small (3 mile x 1 mile) island. They are looking for some ruins that were spotted by a castaway sailor and are under a time crunch since winter storms are expected to roll in within two weeks. They've encountered the top predators on the island (a pack of owlbears) and withstood a series of raids on their camp, killing off enough owlbears to upset the local ecosystem. The last fight against the owlbears was particularly brutal, with the party's monk getting grappled and mauled to within an inch of his life by one owlbear. They've also had a volley of poisoned javelins thrown at them by some mysterious natives (who then faded back into the forest). One of the party's familiars (a raven) has reported seeing what look like an ancient church overgrown by creepers and vines farther in. They've concluded that those are the ruins they are looking for and will be heading out towards them at the beginning of the next session. In the other campaign I participate in, my elven warmage and his half-orc buddy are trudging across some frozen wastes out in the polar regions of the Forgotten Realms. We had a very profitable disagreement with an immoth and its pets. My character was quite delighted with how effective his scorching ray and flaming sphere spells were against these cold-based critters. The half-orc barbarian was less thrilled with how much damage he soaked up during this brawl. ;) [/QUOTE]
