Clueless Delver

A quick report on the adventures of the Mount Chanticleer party. This time we have a mock death and a real death. From the last session, the party rested for a week with Edric sending word of recruiting someone to replace the deceased Milvaeus. Taking her place was... Olynthi the Spellthief - an Elf, multiclassed as Magic User and Thief. She learned the spell Magic Missile and had her shortbow.  With her help, the party managed to make their way to the ruined castle, successfully ambushing a squad of orcs, from which they discovered the location of the the Chaotic Caves. As they were unscathed, they decided to continue their exploration, making their way directly to the indicated site of the Chaotic Caves. They were jumped by one of the patrols while exploring, causing Caladac the Cleric to fall from battle. Though actually she didn't die because I accidentally did not record her AC as 18 due to her shield (more on that later).  There they managed to break into an Orc Lair, b...

During the past few months, I had been extremely busy with work, but I finally had some time to sit down and do some solo gaming. I've been trying out Basic Fantasy 4e , and its been a blast. The speed at which things can be resolved is sweet, and the opportunities for high level play seem endless. For the adventure I used a combination of  AA1 - Adventure Anthology One , and JN1 - Chaotic Caves modules found completely free on the Basic Fantasy website. This is a quick summary of a solo session of a party of 8 adventurers who banded together out of the blue in search for fame and fortune.  I won't go too much into detail of each character, but may do so in future blog posts.

And yes, unfortunately 1 character died, but goes to show how gloriously lethal the game is which resonates with my principle - losing is fun.   The party - Mount Chanticleer The party is formed by Edric the Fighter a fighting man who bands with fe...

Tul-Anesh walked to Tul-Mitush's side and sat next to her, and asked with a tone of suppressed excitement. "So... How was the tribulation...? Did you see anyone... You know... famous there?" Hearing this, Tul-Mitush felt like rolling her eyes.

On his face was a gentle smile which always felt somewhat infectious to her, but she suppressed the ticklish feeling in her and tried to keep a straight face, though traces of a smile crept onto her lips.

As she turned to face behind her, Tul-Mitush saw her cousin Tul-Anesh who was slightly taller than herself, and bore a lithe frame. Dressed in simple white linen robes, he wore is glossy black hair in a ponytail which rested on his left shoulder.

"Anesh... Aren't you a little too old for pranks...?" "Hehe... I couldn't help it. I called out your name several times but you didn't reply..."

But her movement was quickly stopped as the back of her head struck against firm flesh. "Yowch!" A familiar boyish voice came from behind Tul-Mitush. At that moment her fright turned into slight annoyance.
