Dice Try: Episode 1

Summary of the first play-session of my lovely D&D Group The Adventures of Arbogast the Halfling Druid, Kaalem the Monk and Roland Kevan Oliver Maria von Taubenstein the Paladin (in ascending height). Summary: - they arrived at Saltmarsh - chased and evil guy who eventually got away - fought an owlbear - got hired to investigate weird incidents in a house who appears to be hunted - and settled down in the Inn “Golden Goose”, taking a break before they went to the house at night More detailed Version under the cut

So at the beginning they haven’t met yet. They arrived at this town called Saltmarsh, one by one. A city with about 500-800 people, which currently has a slight rat problem. - Rolands first action was to search for a temple but the city had none - so he started asking around and checking people with “detect evil” - found some poor evil fellow and started giving chase - Kaalem went to the market to buy bread - Arbogast searched for an Inn and eventuall ended up at the market as well to get some food and information - Roland is chasing the evil guy over the market - The guy jumps over the barrier of a small circus which is currently performing with an owl bear - He pulls an axe from under his cloak, frees the owlbear and continues running off, into the tent - Rats come running out of the tent and scare the Owlbear - The Owlbear, scared and freed, makes a break for the wood barrier and pushes through - People start running away and panic breaks out - Roland starts attacking the beast while Kaalem and Abo start running towards the Action - The man performing with the animal is shocked but tries his best to distract it and get it back under controle while fighting - the elven woman who was making music for the performance runs off into the tent aswell - Kaalem tries to Tackle Roland in an effort to get him out of the attack-range but Roland manges to slip out of his grasp while Abo still has to fight his way through the fleeing people - the Owlbear manages to claw at Roland and pin him to the ground - Kaalem attempts to pull the Beast away or at least distract it, so he jumps on to it’s back an starts to rodeo-ride it - It stands up in an attempt to throw him of but he manages to hold on tight - Rolands player: What gender has the bear   DM: Is that important?   Rolands Player: Well i surely can see it from my current perspective   DM: uhhhh....well you can clearly see it’s a male one           (u really want bear-genitals to be the last thing you see???) - he was down to 3 Hitpoints at that moment - Rolands player goes: “ CALLED SHOT TO THE NUTS” and slices the beasts nuts clear off (counts as vital area so the owlbear can’t act next round) - The Owlbear falls to the side (neither crushing Kaalem or Roland) and abo finally makes it to the scene - He heals Roland a bit - Roland gets up and thrusts his sword right into the throat of the bear on the ground with Kaalem and his owner screaming “NOOOO” in the back - Guard of the city who were evacuating the market come rushing to the scene and take control over the situation - the elf who ran off at the beginning comes around with the corner with a mule pulling the cage of the beast behind (so yes, i planed a way to end this without killing) - a man comes running towards them and, assuming they are a group after he just saw them fighting together, and tells them about strange happenings in his house - the house seems haunted. Opened drawers, books falling of the shelves, the whole house groaning and creaking with hushed whispers and the sound of small footsteps like from children - they go to a healer to fix Roland after that they search for an Inn to take a long rest before making their way toward the adress the man gave them as the sun starts sinking And that’s where the first session, my very first as a DM, ended :)

Dice Try: Episode 3

Aaaaaand the third session already ^^ (it’s been a while at this point but i gotta catch up to where we’re at now) The Adventures of Arbogast the Halfling Druid, Kaalem the Monk and Roland Kevan Oliver Maria von Taubenstein the Paladin (in ascending height). Summary: - The first action was to go up an interrogate Anson Tippelton, the owner, further about the amulet - As the, pretty bad, lie he tried to sell them didn’t worked, he admitted that he got it from his own adventuring times and found it on the dead body of an elf near Secomber - They decided to go back into the tunnels since they didn’t take much damage - When they reached the floodgate-system this time no one ambushed them and they continued upstream where the water seemed to originated from a hole leading up - Climbing up, they found themselves in an old mill that appeared to be spiked with traps - As they tried to search the mill they suddenly were ambushed by a whole pack of dog and cat-sized moonrats - They fought brave but the sheer number of foes threatened to overwhelm them, as a huge rat, walking on two feet ordered them all to stop And that’s where we closed the game for the day ^^ (It was a short round cuz one player had to leave)

Dice Try: Episode 2

Summary of the second play-session of my lovely D&D Group. Can’t belive i haven’t collapsed yet from all that lore i’m flodding my brain with ^^’ The Adventures of Arbogast the Halfling Druid, Kaalem the Monk and Roland Kevan Oliver Maria von Taubenstein the Paladin (in ascending height). Summary: - they arrived at the bookshop and home of the man who hired them: Anson Tippelton - As they heard the stange noises themselves they investigated further and found a alchemy laboratory with an odd coloured wall that seemed to be a secret door - Kallem went up to ask Anson about it who seemed nervous about what the paladin might do when he sees what’s behind there, yet he gave out the key as Kaalem promised to protect him - Behind the door they glanced upon a secret room where the floor seemed to sink in, that was stacked with weird artifacts, the most noteable: a human-like skull with cryptic writing on it and a very fine piece of elven jewlery; a moon mote - Kaalem punched through the floor and the whole party hopped into the partly flodded tunnel underneath - after there wasn’t anything to be found downstream they went up and encountered a few supernatural large rats in a  floodgate-labyrinth - They managed to capture one cat-sized rat who oddly enough started to talk after the druid calmed it down - His name was Ark and he provided the party with a few Informations, like that he does it for the family and that apparently they are after the elven medallion in the house. Also the druid identified the species as “Moon rats” - But since the Paladin keept saying they should destroy the evil beasts he didn’t trusted them enought to provied more and struggeled out of Kaalems grasp - The icy steady stream had cooled the Halfling of the group pretty much down since he stood in it bust-high the whole time, so they decided to return and ask further about the moon mote - As they returned through the hole Roland took the amulet and felt a strange sensation, warm, like hands roaming over his body and feeling his form - He gave it around for everyone to touch once which warmed them all up a little
