Raindog 9,795 Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 We played tonight 😀. The game progressed well. We found a series of leads leading us to a dungeon dive. We found an unknown under city with the good we were looking for hidden in a room, but not the missing owner. The problem player, on their last play date, wanted to leave immediately, since it was spooky, but the group went on. We found the city's ancient crypts, opened the skeletons missing. The group continued and saw movement ahead, we went to investigate, hoping to find more clues, people we could question, or follow, but found an a skeleton horde.Aafter killing 17 of dozens more, the party retreat back out of dungeon.

Raindog 9,795 Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 Another game is under our belts. The problem player still played, but it seems like the last game in that player's arc. The problem player spent most of the time playing video games on their phone. Healed and sharing information with out contacts, the party regrouped and went back under the city into the crypts. The party found an ancient blood altar under the center of the city. Then, the party found a secret way into the mage's school. In the deepest basement of the, we found the people we were searching for. One was barely alive, and the other had turned undead. We killed the undead person and returned to our contacts with the city. Once the missing person was healed, it was confirmed the mages had captured the people we were looking for. The were trying to find how to locate valuable magic components, but accidentally killed the missing mage while torturing her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know at least 5-6 people who would LOVE to play D&D in person around a common table, but they all have families and so are relegated to playing D&D online thru Discord and apps. Some people just have no appreciation for how fortunate they are.....🤔 Raindog and Ish 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raindog 9,795 Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 OK. The problem-some player deftly dropped out in a well worded e-mail. The party gated away to the Canyonside ruins where they had fought the goblin strong-hold to start the next set of adventures. With a lead that Bane K, had been the person to ship the spell components, including those from the body parts possibly enslaved sentient creatures known as changelings, the party monetarily aided the fight against the goblins, and headed to the next country to the west. The gate to the next town in our path had glitches, so we opted for an unknown destination to the southeast. The gate led us to a lone hill standing over a desert. Ruins of an ancient settlement circled the hill and a great, sentient tree stood over the gate. The gate revealed one party member, a servant of the problem player, who wished to continued the quest, and claimed to have permission to be with us, to be a changeling. The changeling had taken multiple roles over several encounters to help the party. When my character, Badger, went to investigate the tree, the tree spoke to the group, revealing the goliath barbarian to be a Fastrider (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer, once in a generation, legendary fighter). The tree wanted to walk north, but the guardian of the place held it in place. Badger went to investigate and discovered a guardian in the form of giant scorpion holding the tap root of the Great Tree (think Ent). The angry guardian tried to fight the party, but freeing the Ent, the party fled through the gate to the east. Landing in a pine wood, Badger tried to learn who the changeling actual was.......

Raindog 9,795 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 Per the DM, he was shocked we did not kill the Guardian, but the creature was not evil and seemed to have a defensive posture, so the party freed the tree and left. Blustorm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
