[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7147622, member: 6776887"] 5/30/2017 We started our 5e Zeitgeist campaign with Bonds of Forced Faith. We have five players, so mayor Roland Stanfield was not played. The narration of everyone dying at the beginning went pretty well with everyone joking about the end of the campaign and moving on. I then passed out the pregens, and let everyone take 10 minutes getting to know their characters. Everyone enjoyed the backstories and motivations for their characters. Being experienced players, they were looking for more of the standard PC class options and were surprised when they were not present. The PCs met at the mayor's residence, informed each other of the special information they had, and dealt with the surprise events. They then decided they must head out immediately and head to Parity Lake to rescue Skyseer Rachel Lang. The PCs arrived at the lake to find a mob led by a man calling for Skyseer's death because she is a witch that has cursed and tortured him. The PCs decided to head out on the boat to talk with Rachel Lang. Dame Melissa stepped in the boat, and as soon as it started rocking from her stepping in, a hidden troll grabbed the boat, rocked it, and pitched Dame Melissa into the lake. The leader of the mob removed her disguise to reveal herself as the witch Sister Deliria. She cursed Harkover Lee, and he forgot how to use fire magic. A second troll then pulled itself up onto the dock and hit Harkover Lee hard. A couple PCs hit Sister Deliria hard and watched in horror as several members of the mob fell over dead while Sister Deliria's wounds instantly healed up. I have a house rule that says creatures without a swim speed who cannot breath underwater lose an additional round of air when they take damage in a round or do a strenuous activity like taking the attack action. This meant Dame Melissa was quickly in trouble as she only had 6 rounds of air to work with as she had a Constitution of 10. Meanwhile, Harkover Lee was quickly knocked unconscious. We finished our first session with Dame Melissa underwater, Harkover Lee with 2 death saving throw failures, and Sister Deliria mocking them all... [/QUOTE]
