DM BEEZULBUBBA'S GAME RECAP SUPER BLOG

    There are no definitive rules in Dragonslayer on overnight hit point recovery so I ruled 1 Hit Point plus CON Modifier per night of rest. Simple and still encourages folks to return to town over trying to recover from injuries resting in a ruin or dungeon. I could have possibly overlooked it as I have a PDF over Print copy and it's easier for me to peruse stuff in the old fashioned way. Still not really feeling the need to drop 65$ on the Mono-Chrome Hardback yet.     I roll for Wandering Monsters' once  for the evening and sounds are heard as they are fairly well fortified in the old armory. Squeaking and Movement can be heard outside as well as the sound of flapping from bats exiting from the ruins of the old tower and flying out to hunt for insects to feast upon. The rats do not bother the PCs after I roll an indifferent Monster Reaction Roll . I will always roll reaction Rolls in perpetuity.     They opt to investigate the neighboring ruins cl...

    Pausing in the dungeon is a bad habit of mine. We started down a player t his week as he had a long shif and since it was at the end of a big battle last session they simply were heading back to their individual strongholds to divide treasure but first they had to transport the 7 large sacks of coins and other items. Geoff discovers it takes at least a 17 STR to wield or carry the Great Black Iron Spear found amongst the bones in the lair of the Dimension Spiders still clutched in the skeletal hands of a DeathFist Orc of unusual size. I Clarify who is carrying what to the beach and Redrum uses his Know Alignment ability on the Black Iron Spear and I succeeds his check. IT reeks of Chaos I inform him. I ask for all FTR classed PCs & Retainers to make a Save vs Spells . Geoff & Redrum both fail and I send them both a private message via discord since Roll20 whisper feature was being non-functional. You have to realize the since this is an all DWARF OSE game eve...

     We do tend to pick up right where we left off in the dungeon or nearby don't we ? Well we picked up and retconned a PC into the game as being under the rubble from the ill fated party from which Ravithor came from. or perhaps abandoned to their fates after being beset by Giant Crab Spiders ! It's not an optimum way to get a player into the game/party but it is efficient. I go over the information garnered at the end of last session and they just head on into Shandalar's Tower. There is some minor healing and the channeling of a Cure Light Wounds before entering as well.     The Entry Chamber is casually inspected and no in-depth search is taken so they rotate around the chamber leaving Wolf-Crest to guard the bottom of the stair and the entry into the Tower. They split the party in the first action. Bold move Cotton.... A door on the other side of the chamber is discovered that is stuck and leads into another chamber with a door in the far wall, an expos...

    We pick up where we left off. I know this is verboten to allot of DMs and myself am not found of stopping then picking up for fear of missing players, but we do it allot. The new PC character is introduced as an Elfin Channeler from a doomed adventuring party in the very same location that the party is heading to, How convenient ! So Ravithor Elfin Channeler is introduced to the party and I roll a Loyalty/Morale Check for Hurbert the Man-at-Arms in service to the recently slain Galandar . Hurbert offers to take Galandar's body back to Woodvale and await the PCs. I will make a Loyalty/Morale Check upon their return to see if he actually commits to that promise as he is Neutral and no longer being paid by an employer.     I need to modify the Hex Crawl Encounter Chart for the Great Salt Reach this week and determine a better overnight camping roll over the flat percentile drop I decided upon this week. They have no encounters during their overnight cold camp a...

       Whoa boy, this one was a doozy.     We picked up in the various strongholds and residences of the Brotherhood of Expendable Strangers and finishing up the general items they had planned to do between sessions but due to schedules and other stuff we decided to deal with them at beginning of session. I roll for Domain Growth for each of the Fighter Strongholds and apply coinage/supplies value to treasury. This takes but a few minutes and go over the expansion planned by Geoff Warrior Loremaster to his Emerald Keep . The followers under his banner have white washed the upper Keep-Tower and his banner flies in the Trollscrag Mountains as well off of the walls bordering the Dark River . I roll for the Temple Guard of Namman Fighter Cleric of Thaneduhr as well and make the necessary notations and then Redrum Fighter Cleric of Thaneduhr as well in Axios Landing . Runestones are crafted by Gremmin & Geoff as part of their Loremaster (Mage) ability ...

    We were going to do allot in between session via discord. We did not so the session became more of an Roleplaying and planning session. It picks up in the Inn of the Wanton Wenc h with the PCs dividing their spoils but deciding not to sell the jewelry or use the gold and silver bars in Thatchum as they were clearly marked with the large initials of Bartholmew Krimm and his Mage Sigil. The loot is stored in their communal room and they begin buying drinks in the Inn to loosen lips about rumors and how others are getting up to Highfell . They learn again that the Mystics of Matowb sponsor expeditions but have decided they are not going to deal with that faction nor share any loot or treasure gained with them which is normally  the agreement for items to get adventurers up into the floating ruins.      They learn several rumors and then depart to various locations about town to make purchases. Galandar secludes himself and uses his Write spell to sta...

     Picking up where we left off put's us in the unique situation of introducing a new player mid session. We are long in the tooth so no big deal really. Darkass Rubyman  a CN Gnome Throat-Cutter will be joining the adventuring party of Galandar  NG Elfin Channeler, Alaric LN Postulant of Arcanatryl, Bristerhahn  CN Swordsman, Wolf-Crest LN Elfin Swordsman-Thug as well as Hurber t the N Man-at-Arms employed by Galandar. I inform Darkass ; in general voice chat as our time constraints will not permit allot of private chat, he was employed by his guild to track down and deal with a Mage by the name of Oswald Kohl by his guild in Threshold . It has taken him to this far northern Principality of Brine and information was gathered in the Inn of the Wanton Wench that Oswald Kohl had been inquiring about Bartholmew Krimm . A mysterious Arch Mage who dwelled in the Fargonne Forest Northeast of Thatchum with his grand daughter and a trusted man-serv...
