Shackled City in Grom
Chapter 1 : 6 deaths. 1 by inter party combat ( the rogue killed the
wizard after he shot the cleric) 3 by acid pool ( how many 1's can a
party roll on their climb checks before someone decides to take 10) 1
monk got impaled by the stone spike thing and the goliath barbarian
got killed by the skulk infected by the vanishing. The monk was almost
killed by the rest of the party after an argument/duel over the
clerics magic kama .
Chapter 2 : 3 deaths/ or MIA . 3 party members were infected by the
wererats. They were all locked up by Alek Tercival to be cured on the
full moon, but the ranger escaped. The rogue and the beguiler were
cured, but the ranger came back and abducted the rogue. The Goliath
dragon shaman smashed the infected rangers head in though.( what's non
lethal damage?) Later after entering Drakthar's way. They fought an
army of goblins , and eventually faced Drakthar who dominated the
above dragon shaman. The rest of the party ran for it as soon as the
dwarf fighter realized it was a vampire.
Chapter 3 . 3 deaths . The party thrashed the hillmen and alleybashers
with some well placed colour sprays. They sent a scout to recon the
rest of the inn. When they saw a pack of baboons and Tongueeater they
ran and hid in the stables till either The baboons left or Alek
Tercival arrived. =p Pretty cowardly in my opinion but it probably
saved them from a few more character deaths. The party seems to have
developed a healthy fear of were creatures and baboons (in previous
campaigns I used a creature called the rock baboon from the DD rule
cyclopedia which resulted in many player fatalities ) Lost the dwarf
fighter to the skulvyn water demon thing after he was dominated by the
kopru to fight it. Then lost the above dwarf's wyrmling pet white
dragon to the crazy goliath red dragon shaman (He's been itching to
kill that thing for awhile) . Lost the Goliath dragon shaman in the
battle with the red head chick (he was knocked into negs, she told the
party to back off or the goliath gets it..well you can guess the rest)
. Beguiler was killed by the dino after the orc fighter ( replacement
of the dwarf fighter ) used him as a human shield. Npc elven cleric
paragon went insane.
Chapter 4. 6 deaths 1 MIA. Beguiler charged the fiendish umberhulk so
he can color spray it , and was promptly confused and torn shreds.
Dwarven cleric tried to rescue beguiler but was confused and torn to
shreds.( he's been the longest lasting character so far.) Surprisingly
nobody died to gotrod, the cyro hydra, or ashuuna . The ashuuna fight
actually lasted the full 100 rounds then her time was up. But alot of
that was spent by the party recovering with the dragon shaman's
healing aura, and the use of a wand of cure light and 2 clerics
healing. The party's damage output is very poor but their general ac
and healing power is quite impressive. The 3rd lvl npc fighter and the
npc warmage both died though, but I'm not counting those guys heh.
Dhlort recruited the halforc fighter and the beguiler ( they both had
dragon blood ) and made them both fight for his favor. In the end ,
the half orc got lucky splattered the beguiler and then Dhlort took
off with the victor never to be seen again ( for now anyways.) The
weakened party lost the dragon shaman and the dwarven cleric to the
big fish cleric in a massive 4 hour brawl. Finnaly Zenith killed the
brand new rogue who just joined the party (welcome to the campaign!)
Chapter 5 . 4 deaths. Half the party seemed to want to incite a riot,
the other half wanted to calm down the mob. Some chaos ensued but no
one got hurt. When the half orc bar was burning down , most of them
just watched and then the spectators ran away as soon as the fire
elementals popped up. Amazingly they decided to go find their buddy
Alek Tercival , and through some stroke of luck they journeyed to Red
Gorge ( although there was some debate about searching the Lucky
monkey?!? ) They survived most of the encounters relatively unscathed
although the giant sloth almost squished the new cleric. They lost the
elven fighter and the halfling ranger in the fight against the 4
giants mainly due to the elven fighters refusual to retreat and get
healing, and really poor healing rolls by the clerics and the giants
last minute critical club strike on his face. Later on the dead forge
halflings next character was some elven , who foolishly tried to stand
up to the heavily muscular super giant ( or was he abandoned? same
difference heh). Later still , when the party had the show down with
the half fey green hags, the elven rogues next character, a bewitching
human woman warlock, was confused and started blasting the cleric.
The duegar psychic warrior would have none of that , and quickly put
his brand new magic lightning sword through her.
Current party composition . human dragon shaman ( drow was
reincarnated because they started to run out of cash) human cleric of
mirrodin , human sorcerer , assimar paladin , tiefling paladin ,
duegar psychic warrior
Cohorts include duegar cleric, human bard/cleric/marshall, baby red
dragon.
