ASH I am still not sure how we managed it, but we have come through our adventure largely unscathed. The sacred vessel has been retrieved and delivered to its place of honour in our village, our fallen paladin comrade, Intan, has been resurrected, and we are sitting in a cosy inn swilling ale, dwarven treasure … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Dwarven treasure
D&D Chronicles: Tragedy at the island
ASHI wish we'd never ventured onto the island. Not only is it completely in the wrong direction from the plains and our village, but we have lost one of our companions.It is no secret there was no love lost between the paladin and me, but despite his incessant blathering about his god, he was a … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Tragedy at the island
D&D Chronicles: Of gods, monsters and travelling
ASH Ah, that paladin survived the wights after all... Although I fear Alix, despite fighting bravely, will bear emotional scars for a long time. Euphoric with relief at their triumph, I became rash and demanded to try one of the mysterious vigour leaves recently given us by Ergosh. We did after all need to find … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Of gods, monsters and travelling
D&D Chronicles: The paladin’s tale
ASH The plains are calling me home. We've found the sacred vessel those cursed goblins stole from our village. We've avenged the deaths of our loved ones -- never have I enjoyed a battle as much as when we slaughtered the humanoids. My sword sang in my hands. For once, that paladin and I were … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: The paladin’s tale
D&D Chronicles: Goblins and Barrow Wights
The action heated up in our most recent session of Dungeons and Dragons, in which we raided a goblin village, confronted three barrow wights and suffered random attacks from a 6-foot lizard and two pairs of snakes. Our raid of the goblin village was the high point for the night. A small band of them … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Goblins and Barrow Wights
D&D Chronicles: Explaining the basics
Our most recent session of Dungeons and Dragons was fun . . . but in the end not much 'happened'. We spent the entire evening (about 6 hours) on reconnaissance -- as just about every route we attempted to take proved a no go. Now, I've had various questions through the life of this series … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Explaining the basics
D&D Chronicles: Tunnels and tons of rubble
Another long break between D&D sessions -- wah! -- but we finally got together again this weekend past for more adventures. We picked up where we left off, hanging out in a dark mountain chamber after killing a wraith... Our next move is to get out of there. We ascend the stairs leading up from … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Tunnels and tons of rubble
D&D Chronicles: Beware giant chickens
After a longish break while half our group moved houses, we finally resumed our campaign this past weekend. To add to the fun, we played Dungeons and Dragons by candlelight. Yeah. * We resume our campaign in the middle of some woods after a mighty battle -- three of our party levelled up after the … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Beware giant chickens
D&D Chronicles: A tough induction for Ash
My new D&D character is a ranger called Ash. She is a northern plainswoman, a 'pale-skinned barbarian' in the imaginary world of our game. Hailing from a remote plains village that has recently been raided by thieving goblins, Ash and the village cleric (Alix) are the only surviving members of a party that set out … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: A tough induction for Ash
D&D Chronicles: Shit happens… and then you die
1. Poor Rhi -- my ranger -- is dead for good this time. (sniff) She was taken out on a snowy ledge by three ghouls, which paralysed and devoured her without her even swinging a blow. My party tried to preserve her body in the snow, but Rhi showed up later as a ghoul herself … Continue reading D&D Chronicles: Shit happens… and then you die
