Hello, I wish to share my first experience in the GM in D&D with CoCT.
2 weeks ago, I masterised the 2 first chapters of CoCT and at my table there’s :
- 1 fighter dwarf,
- 1 sorcerer Halfling,
- 1 cheliax paladin,
- 1 cheliax paladin.
It was very interesting to make them play. All of them were contacted by Zellara, but no one knew each other. To be in this house together just with a card in commun, the discussion around the table was very funny for the GM, because a lot of mistrust existed, until Zelarra came. She just asked them to make justice against Gaedren and all of them decided to accept this mission. The rogue, in his past, was one of the Geadren’s thugs but after have been violently beaten by him, decided to flee this man (and so was the only of the PC to know who was Gaedren). The rogue came in the fishery in the room with Balko and after 2 words, draw against him in making a critic throw. So Balko ran in the room with Bloo, but the magic missiles o the sorcerer killed Balko. The paladin succeeds in calm Bloo. In the Upper Workfloor, the dwarf stuned 2 Lamm’s Lambs and the other PC killed Hookshanks Gruller. The last Lamb was an old friend of my rogue so he helps us in informing of the presence of Giggles and some other lambs. After a bulrush of the fighter and the rescue of the others lambs, the paladin felt Underpier. The PC came in his rescue and dodge the shark. In the Gaedren’s place, the dwarf didn’t let the time to Gaedren to move and killed him with another critical throw. Unfortunately for Gobblegut which was flanked, it died very quicklu ! When they discover the head of Zellara, it was very funny because of tue ununderstanding of the situation, they believed that they have benne the pieces of a chest game, but thanks to an image of Zellara, she explained the situation. When they wanted to leave, the city became mad and they decided to have some rest in the room of the dwarf, but they encountered the mad prophet who succeeded in his grapple to the paladin (so he’s ill but doesn’t still know), they met Grau and succeeded in making him coming back to the citadel. They save a noble girl who explained they the meaning of the brooch to finish by the meeting with the imps. When they understand that they have no chance to defeat them, (whereas they have manage all the situations relatively easily) they seemed to be afraid! To finish, they met Queen Ileosa and the sorcerer and the fighter decided to give the brooch to the queen with a mage hand (quiet good idea), and they reveal that the Halfling was a sorcerer and not a wizard. They accepted to become some new Korvosa guards and have spendt a night in the castle. Next chapter tonight, I wish it’s going to be as interesting as the first time (stopping the story just before Trinia!
