HORROR ON THE HILL - A 5E RE-IMAGINING OF A 80'S CLASSIC TSR MODULE

Game Master Helaman

'The Fort' is a gathering point for settlers, reckless traders and devil may care explorers who do business in the lands outside those covered by the dubious protection of the Emperor. Not surprisingly it is also a gathering place for mercenaries and ne'er do wells... as well as self styled warriors of fortune called 'Adventurers'.

Overshadowing 'The Fort' is 'The Hill'. This mysterious mountain has long been rumored to shelter bands of vicious monsters. It is said that only the turbid waters of the River has formed the boundary that prevented monsters from invading the undergarrisoned fort over the years... but now it may not be enough.

That 13 is a 14... read my initial post. D8 is roll under 3? take 3 HP.

And might as well make all wounds go away unless you want to chase them over the water... at night... with no skill in boats.

I don't want to complain, and I will take the 14 if you want.

But I started with 9 HP then add dice roll (2) that turns into a 3 and add Con of 1 so: 9+3+1=13 not 14 but I will take the 14 if you want me too.

I came up with 13 too... but didn't want to say anything. :p Figured if the DM came up with the number best go with that one!

Lol... in that case keep the 14, bugger it.

14 it is, Thank you.

Seeing others turning into a savage loot fest. Antal jump up on a wooden box with the word soap on it and yells out.
"What are you doing! These are you neighbors, Your friends, if you collect things it need to go back to the family members of the dead so stop what you are doing. You all should be ashamed of your selves! So leave the items on the bodies and if you don't know who to leave them with, give me the items to be returned."

Now I know that I should have rolled for slight of hand, darn it.
So much for being a hypocrite

I laughed when I read that!

Awesome. I am gonna let the party act and see what happens.

And now I've set the stage? Let's move onto the actual module :)

Kalia be FIERCE

This is an opportunity to see if you can put some of the pieces together...

4 x holy water at 25 gold a pop. If they are available!

Otherwise, a silvered version of his current weapon.

I'm good. I don't think I need anything right now.

Sure - they don't really have a lot of uses for the stuff.

You can buy the last 4 vials.

Done. Iocundius is keen to show these undead who the law is around here!

Edit:

Now I see that is 100 gold total.

Does anyone have objections to four holy water vials? I think most other stuff we could salvage from looting, and I believe we're getting rations anyway.

Have we looted any ranged weapons? I prefer to use one of those, as not to get to close to combat. :) Else I can buy a crossbow for 25g, has anyone been tracking what we would have in total?

@Varis: I think we had sold off our loot. However, the quality of that stuff wasn't great. You could likely buy better in town.

@All: I may not be able to post again until Saturday. Just a heads up.

1 person marked this as a favorite.

All good. That's roughly when I'll get this show back on the road and we can get back to the Grimdark.
M Half Elf Sorcerer level 1

We got 50gp but that was split wth 10 gp to each long ago, and the 100 gp went to holy waters. If you want we can reduce the amount of holy water and get some coins that way.

Think we are finally back on track for tone and tempo... thanks for being patient guys.

Oh, that you are, Helaman. I suspect we all are keen to see the back of this island already!

Might be of interest. Frog God Games are having a sale the moment. Vouchers on their social media (e.g Twitter).

FGG sales page for said sales.

I want to get the new edition castle amber due out Sept iirc

This adventure is not as written FYI... just having fun with a great foundation.

I'll move things along later.

Just wait when you find all the little problems that come with a new house......Now what does this light switch do?

We’re going to be moving into our new home at the end of August. I’d bet money that the wife will expect me to transform into a handyman...
