Playing with Goblins

Well the last session was interesting as I quickly had the group on the ropes as they investigated the lower level of the abandoned keep. The group walked down the stairs and while the rogue skipped around looking down the corridors. Kara the large dragon-born managed to fall down the pit at the base of the stairs and was swarmed by a pack of ravenous rats. Then the goblin snipers started firing at the group from the shadows and they were forced to flee back to the surface with their tails between their legs as they agreed to retreat and try again the next day.

This was much easier than I thought as the group has been easy to distract and once they are separated a little bit easy to gang up on and knock down. Now to see if the group can learn to work together to at least survive.

Switching games for the season

Well the time has come to return to the summer game which is now 4th Edition. After a false start from not playing these rules for 7 months we managed to get through two combat situations in one session and now the group is going to try and spend some of the loot they acquired with only a small settlement to spend it in. Now its time to explore the abandoned keep where a major battle was fought only two decades before. 

The Assault of Gaping Maw

Well the group just spent the last five sessions of the season opening a beach-head on the shores of Gaping Maw. The group was assisted by a squad of Eladrin who helped in the attack. The fight lasted just over two minutes of game time and the group managed to either kill or drive off the demons guarding the site. But not before the two party mages were feeble-minded by the flying demon above them. The serious fight was with the three six armed Marilith demons that were a handful. Now thankfully we switch to 4th Edition for the rest of the summer and we will return to the Savage Tide Adventure Path will return with the finale in the fall.
