Starting the Lightless Depths

Well I managed to have some fun with the group and then had some down time before the group started the next chapter in the Adventure Path. The group met with one of the known monsters of the Isle known as 'The Glutton.' They managed to bribe their way past it after some interesting role-playing from the group. Now they will head underground for the next bunch of sessions.

Fighting the Pirates part 3

Well it took more sessions than I originally planned but the group finally prevailed tonight in the fight against the pirates and their nasty leader who turned out to be the brother of their patron. The group managed to kill him and his gang but not before I killed off two of the party members and a cohort or two. Also slain was an important NPC of the village. They have recovered three of the ships that the pirates used to attack as the remainder fled for their lives once they saw that the group was going to win. Now the group has to recover and attempt to revive the dead characters. One will not be coming back as the player has decided to make up a new PC so I can introduce it next game session. Now I can lead the group around looking for clues before they have to deal with the resident dragon turtle before they can head underground looking for answers. The next couple of sessions should be interesting before we take our Christmas break.

When Pirates Attack part 2

Well this fight went on a lot longer than I figured tonight and the group still hasn't encountered the boss bad guy yet. He sent in three Vrock's (nasty demons) and they caused havoc and destruction in the middle of the village. Then the tidal wave that was caused by the evil druid didn't help matters when it came ashore. The only good thing is it killed some of the pirates that were trying to attack the village. Once the water receded the fight was on with the Vrock's using their teleport skill to jump in and out of combat. At least I killed off one of the party members and I can still hope to hurt a few more before the fight is over. I hope next session this will be done and I can start planning on the next Chapter.

The Pirates Attack part 1

Well the group surprised me with their planning and managed to scuttle two of the pirate ships before they could get close enough to attack the settlement. Now as the long-boats approach filled with pirates approach the group has backed away from the water to regroup. I have to laugh as the group's most powerful fighter is in the water playing with an aquatic druid and his pets in the water. They didn't like it when they launched some fireballs and someone in one of the pirate ships started launching them back at them. The Sea Wyvern has been hit twice and the crew is now busy trying to put the fires out before it burns to the water line. The group has abandoned the ship in order to attack the pirates landing on shore. Part two will be next Sunday and this fight should be over by then. This will finish Chapter Five of the Savage Tide and the next chapter will see the group heading into the Lightless Depths of the Isle of Dread. Boy am I going to have fun with this Chapter. More to come...
