The Restenford Journals #5 (25 MARCH 2024)

    I think I overdid it earlier in the day was kind of tired by the time our session rolled up on us. Got a long walk in; my Morning Constitutional as I call it, and some yard work which I have to be careful of due to CHF. Looking forward to our game though I plowed on ahead and did a little prep before session and we were going to have a new player this evening as well bring our core to about 4 to 6 of the 12 folks in the ROll20 list.    We picked up with our unnamed band of adventurers being escorted out of the Dungeon of Castle Grellus  which I believe we covered at the end of last session but since we had a new PC I retconned it to include a Thief named Seren who was serving some time for a minor misunderstanding with the Baron's Men. Being accidently hurried out of the dungeons with Tushuab the Ranger, Davon the Magic-User, Finlo the Elf, and Eldrin the Elf so as the Pcs did not mention he was not a part of their cohort he gets roped into an early rel...

The Restenford Journals #4 (18 MARCH 2024)

    This session got off to a rocky start and I was feeling a bit off. My CHF has been acting up strangely as of late but after a small delay we got right into the session. We had left off last time with the party falling back to the Inn of the Dying Minotaur and retiring for a few days then they checked around for other adventuring types and found the Inn mainly just farmers, merchants and regular townsfolk. Restenford is very quiet but there are reports of banditry north east of town and another missing fisherman which is of some concern and much rumor. There are rumor of huge orcs on Bone Hill , Orcish Bandits near Bald Hill and the North East road (Prolly needs a road name now I would guess)while some talk of a mercenary that resides in Restenford, perhaps someone who could be hired out to deal with it.    The PCs debate on what to do this session leads the trio back to the Burnt Guard House where they discover someone has been inspecting the entrance to the...

Stone-Hell on the Borderlands Session #22 (11 MARCH 2024)

    Well, it's been a hot minute since we last ran Stone-Hell on the Borderlands but we got back into the groove last night. We figured we would have our usual two suspects of Daagun & Stonus but one of the players who recently rejoined our merry band of men opted to roll up a Elf Fighter/Magic-User named Estarion to explore the depths of the depraved megadungeon. Another regular player in another game I run popped and played Daagun's Retainer Zalfeer Bagwillow. Five PCs and Stonus's Retainer Braxx set off to old Stone-Hell Prison planning on delving into its depths for fortune & glory.     After going over some minor things to be settled at Kendall Keep we the group deciding to call themselves the Stone Brigade tentatively but I think they are going to rehash that a bit before deciding upon a final group name. Coddiwomple Company is still fresh upon the lips of the majority of the Lower Bailey guards though. After recruiting the Elf Estarion  w...

Dwarf OSE+ Dark Citadel Session #19 (6 MARCH 2024)

    Well this got left in limbo after some illness swept through my house. This is the only problem with running bi-weekly on a game is that if you miss a session or two it creates a large gap in play time which can be devastating to a campaign. But anyway we got back on that horse and picked up right where we left off. Missing a player which we chalked up to recovering from injuries and left Gremmin at the Elf-Raiders camp with several of the Elfin Warriors following Tanila Glynra a minor Elf Noble seeking the Mighty Spear of Ogrul the Slayer. For assistance they have promised the Two-Handed Sword of Dorrgan which seems to have magical properties against Elfinkind. They fear this Lagomorph in battle.    There is some banter back and forth about goals and responsibilities then prolly about 15 - 20 minutes of planning the assault with their two Retainers Snorri & Fordrael to breach the door and be the bulwark against he Lagomorphs for the Elfin group. They divi...

The Restenford Journals #3 (4 MARCH 2024)

    Well, we were pretty light on players this evening but they decided to go back to the Burnt Guard House and rid the complex of the Giant Rats they came across the previous session. While attempting to keep a low profile on recruiting Retainers they observed that Restenford is pretty much a quiet sea town and there were not many folks looking for adventure so headed out to the ruin on the west side of town. They however were observed by the Bait Dealer named Zahrdahl.    Returning to the Hidden Complex Tushuab & Davon hurried to where they had last spied the rodents and Tushuab attempted to pull them out from their warren only to be swarmed by them. This turned into a bit of a slog and they ended up drinking the Ranger's Potion of Extra-Healing to continue. They are running as a duo of mismatched levels but were having a hard time with the dice wanting to kill them. They settle on the Magic-User carrying the torch while the Ranger with a Dagger in hand crawl...

The Restenford Journals #2 (27 FEB 2024)

    Well, it has been a rough couple weeks and I think I am falling into a  pattern of which games are gonna prosper and which ones I fear will wither. But this reimagining of the Secret of Bone Hill seems to be kicking and I added a temporary player for this session as another was unable to make it. The Ranger Tushaub and Davon  the Magic-User fell back to Falco's Tavern after their unfortunate encounter with a Ghoul & Skeleton in the Hidden Complex beneath the Burnt Guard House.    Adding the Elfin duo of Eldrin Stormcaste r (Elfin Thief/Magic-User) & Finlo Cannell (Elfin Fighter/Cleric) that Tushaub discovers at the Inn of the Dying Minotaur while avoiding questions on what happened to the pair of Dwarf Adventurers he and Davon disappeared with but a few hours earlier that day while Davon retired to his rented room at Falco's Tavern to ponder over his spell books. Tushaub approaches the Elfin duo after overhearing their conversation with G...
