Pie Week, Day 2


I was thinking about breaking down Pie Week for the blog here.  I got just enough interest in it from here and from Google+ that I decided to go for it.

Day 2:
Morning: Most people will probably sleep in a bit, followed by the awakening of those who need to get ready for a busy day. Vendors will set up around the archery site and the arena, mostly selling food, but also other local trinkets.

Archery events commence again around 1 in the afternoon in a field. Everyone has the morning to themselves.

Event 1: Archery - The Wild Boar Shot: A life-sized wild boar target will be partially obscured by high grass. The archer has to shoot from behind a tree at long range. Six sharp arrows are allowed.  Points: Body - 3, Head - 2, anywhere else - 1

Event 2: Archery - The Distance Shoot: This was a distance shot at a human-sized target different colors. The target was across a stream at long range. Six sharp arrows are allowed. Points: Gold (head shot) - 5, Red (body shot) - 4, Blue (right arm) - 3, Black (left arm) - 2, White (leg) - 1

Event 3: Blueberry Pie Cookoff!: Townsfolk were allowed to prepare any type of pie they wanted, as long as they used blueberry. The types of pie I included were traditional, lattice top, pie with cinnamon and sugar topping, cream pie, and spiced crumble pie.

Arena: Some circus performers arrived in town. They set up stage in the arena during the archery contests. After the other contests, viewers were entertained by high-wire performers, contortionists, jugglers, and tumblers.

Evening: One inn had an elf troubadour.

Night 1: Also uneventful

[D&D 5e] Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden 17

The party left the ice fortress to check out the dead body we heard was frozen in the ice halfway up the island. The body was of Nas. It turned out she was still there in spirit, and she possessed Vael. In Vael’s body, she went after the Codicil that Ylenn had her face stuck in. When Vael couldn’t get to Ylenn, Nas possessed Prax instead. Prax also couldn’t get there, as Ylenn cast Hold Person on him, and the rest of the party dragged him away from Nas’ dead body. After he was far enough away, the spirit had to return to the dead body…which Morgan had burned to a crisp. We got the orb containing Professor Scant from Nas’ dead body. We circled the island, looking for the whale or another good way off. We couldn’t find one. Ylenn said she could summon the whale, if we could just last the night. We made a lean-to to sleep in and keep cover from the roc. As an octopus, Morgan was able to get some sail from a sunken ship to cover our lean-to. He also was able to find a huge treasure che

Thoughts on Stalwart Adventures 3

I think we were all done with fighting goblins. The DM had the pack leader in the next room. He gave himself up and assured us the goblins (and his ogre) would leave us alone. The rest of the night (until the end) was exploring. It’s really good to mix in the exploring after so much fighting. I still need to get better at Find/Remove Traps, as one blasted me pretty good.  I played the character a little more chaotic, and it was kind of fun. Probably not the type of fun that the other PCs feel they can rely on to watch their back, though. The fun thing about chaotic neutral is I can lean into it whenever I’m looking to spice things up. The rest of the time I can be more reasonable and reliable. The cleric held its own again. I really think he may be the best option for fighting the alpha werewolf. We’ll have to talk it over and see what the others think. I know Zak isn’t the best choice! If we can defeat the alpha wolf, it should wrap up this little adventure nicely.

Thoughts on Stalwart Adventures 2

I like to increase thieving skills as I practice them, unless I know for sure there is something else I want to improve during downtime. In the last sitting, I mostly used Hide in Shadows and Find/Remove Traps. Once I get high enough level, I’ll be using an Invisibility spell to hide. Until then, I need to keep using and increasing this skill. We should get enough XP for me to go up to wizard level 2. That will get me 1-2 HP, and every HP is precious for this character. Also, I get a second first level spell. Sleep is great, but I do look forward to a second utility spell I can use. I like the idea of Spider Climb, but my Climb Walls is already 70%. Maybe I can brainstorm some cool ways to use Phantasmal Force. I wasn’t as good with my attack rolls, which is really what I would expect over a larger number of tries. The group fighter got a lot better, also as expected. The cleric is a beast. He really optimized his character build and the benefits of a specialty priest. That’s defini
