We're Down a Monk

Sadly, Cory will no longer be gaming with us for the rest of the semester. Eric will be out of town this weekend, so we will be down two for this Sunday's adventure. Please keep in mind that with the NBC Picnic on May 6, 2007 we only have two sessions left!

Either this week or next week I would like to talk about your thoughts for gaming in the fall semester. I realize that the Badger and Packer games may make gaming consistently a little more difficult, but I would like to keep this going.

See you all this Sunday...bring your good dice rolling, you will now be down two people. There was too much missing last week ;).

Lac's Musings: April 15, 2007 Adventure

After much traveling, the party made it to the Seer's Dungeon. We have spent a little time in the dungeon, and so far, I can't help but be a little confused. We answered a quick riddle to gain access to various chambers.

At first we went straight ahead into a large chamber that ended in a large room with a door. No matter what we did, we could not gain access. There must have been something else that we needed to do.

Among the other rooms that we entered, here are the highlights (or lowlights):

• We managed to set off an arrow trap that injured the thief.
• Through Aleron's clever used of a Tenser's Floating Disc spell, we managed to evade and kill some giant centipedes.
• We were almost all killed by two ettins. The barbarian died and was brought back to life by a potion that we had.
• We also found a room with a magic sword and some potions. Sadly the rooms next to it were both trapped and sent a few of our parties members away screaming.

I will continue to keep you posted as we make our way through this dungeon. I don't think any of us are entirely sure of what we need to be doing. But, we will do our best.

We Game Again!

It has been more than a month since we gamed. But, we will be gaming this Sunday, April 15, 2007 from 1:00-5:00 PM. Please make sure that you are there. It is very likely that you will have an opportunity to begin the Seer's Dungeon. It should be an interesting time to say the least.

Lac's Musings: March 11, 2007 Adventure

This adventure began with Dendo and Father Anselm encountering the Deathmaster. From their observations, the Deathmaster is a half-orc. No blood was shed and the Deathmaster said that although he could kill the party he would prefer to keep them alive continue the rivalry.

The remainder of the party needed some time to recover and once they did, a party was thrown for them by the village and some treasure was given to them as a thank you. During the festivities, the party was approached by Theodis, a page acting on the behalf of the Council of Nine.

The party was gathered by Theodis and he unveiled a new mission for the party. The party was given a scroll. This scroll talks about three artifacts of Pholtus that may be hidden in various areas around the world of Oerth. To seek more information about what is on the scroll, the party was asked to travel to the Troll Fens to a cavern housing Abellius, the Seer. The party was given a map that will take them there, but they are on their own to get through his dungeon.

The party traveled back to their chapel and were attacked by a group of giant rats. They easily vanquished them. As they made their way north from the chapel, they also encountered a large party of orcs. Again, the party made it through this combat relatively unscathed and again showed their valor.

The session ended when the land started to get damp and they reached the outskirts of the Troll Fens.

Updates

I realize that it has been awhile since I have updated, but it had also been some time since we gamed. Please note that we will be gaming again on March 25, 2007. But, the residence halls open at 1:00 PM so I am guessing that we will probably get started at around 1:15...get there as soon as you can.

We only had one level jump this go around, but there are many of you that have the potential
to go up in the next adventure. Some of you are painfully close.

This week while I am couch-ridden and somewhat high on drugs (after the wisdom teeth work), I am hoping to finish up the dungeon. It should be fun!

Stay tuned for the chronicles soon.

Experience Update

Gentlemen,

The experience has been updated for all characters. Lac, Dendo and Fritjf have all gone up a level. Some of you are very close. Sorry that the update is coming late. This has been a busy week with OPE and other stuff. Remember, no adventure this Sunday (sad), but we will be gaming on March 11, 2007. It should be a good one!

Lac's Musings: February 25, 2007 Adventure

When this adventure began, the party began its second journey to Trivel. The party took their new-found treasure back to the chapel. Back at the chapel they found out the front door was fixed and that the locks were in the process of being made. With that, they made their way north again to Trivel.

Not too far into the journey, Lac asked everyone why everyone was in the group. The majority of the folks in the party contributed something. Not too long after this, they encountered a group of ogres that flanked them on the road. The party did not have too much difficulty defeating the group of ogres; the party has definitely increased in power. They managed to find 51 gold pieces among the ogres.

The rest of the day was uneventful. The party slept and Lac and Fritjof took first watch. They heard the howls of wolves surrounding the party. Everyone was woken up and the wolves closed in. Dendo went over to protect the horses; Torgrim the Cold helped out. The wolves were reduced in number and ran off. Sadly, one horse was killed in the combat. Dendo walks faster than the horse anyway.

By the end of the second day, the party arrived in Trivel; it was later in the afternoon. Aleron asked to talk to the mayor of the town. The party decided it would be best to put all of the townspeople into the town hall. Torgrim and Fritjof dug a variety of holes around the village to funnel traffic. The players took their positions in the city, not completely sure what to expect.

The Deathmaster was seen in the distance, along with 25 zombies and 10 ghouls. The big battle began. Sadly, the paladin magically disappeared for this comabt and the ranger was not available either. Right away both Father Roland and Aleron turned almost half of the undead creatures. The remaining creatures were engaged in a furious combat with the party of Pholtus. Some interesting things that happened during the combat:

• Aleron cast enlarge and became around nine feet tall.
• Lac drank a potion of fire giant strength and added +10 to all of his damage rolls. He took out some serious zombies.
• Father Roland cast a spell that had a large magic dragon circling around the town hall.
• Torgrim the Cold did a jumping two-handed sword attack.
• Fritjof took on four ghouls at once.
  
• Needless to say, Torgrim had plenty of magic stuff to take in.
  

By the time the combat was over, only Dendo and Father Roland were left. The Deathmaster was making his way to those two....everyone else was paralyzed by the ghouls.
