[WFRP 2e] Morrslieb's Shadow 16

Last Thursday we played the sixteenth sitting of our WarHammer 2e online campaign. Here's a relatively quick rundown.

My PC
Mordrin Skorkinson, Giant Slayer. He is still looking for a giant to slay, as he doesn't feel the last giant was quite giant enough. He has also slain some daemons, though none of note.

He is the bemoaner of the doom that got away.

His chosen weapon is a magical two handed war-hammer taken from a slain priest of Sigmar, its once faded runes now burn bright due to Mordrin's great deeds.

My companions:
Tibalt - A Brettonian Knight
Udrin - A High Elf Scholar
Gustav - A Human Initiate of Verena (Mostly absent due to technical problems)
Ato - A Wood Elf Wizard Apprentice (Absent)

Mordrin's Experiences
From last time:  Mordrin was covered in daemonette goo, as they inconveniently explode when slain. The party was heading to the academy or the tower, wherever they could get to most conveniently. 

As it stands now: The academy was full of elves using some kind of magical gate to flee Cairnmere/Tor Taiga for the isle of Ulthuan. Most all of the elves were echoes, or memories, of the past event and not really there. We couldn't touch them without them disappearing. When they reappeared, they seemed to forget any previous interaction we had with them. There was one druchii, however, that wasn't a memory. We dispatched him but never really figured out why he was in the academy.

Also in the academy was an ancient version of the dark orb that brought us to this past place. It was smaller and more...solid.  Mordrin thought to destroy it with a mighty blow from his warhammer. It turned out the orb was indestructible, and all Mordrin got for his troubles was a horrible ache and tingling feeling up his arms. Also, the orb was too big and too heavy for him to pick up, though he tried.

Personally, Mordrin was getting pretty sick of all this stuff that couldn't be killed or destroyed.

With nothing more interesting at the academy, the party headed to the tower, which they realized should have been the goal from the get-go. It turns out the tower was shaded in illusion to make a castle-shaped structure appear more circular/towerish. The druchii guarding the outside and inner entry room of the tower were killed relatively easily. 

Going through the rooms of the castle one-by-one, Mordrin opened a door to reveal a large room containing one of the druchii's pet wyvern. Both Mordrin and the creature let out ear-piercing battle roars and charged each other.

And that was where we had to end due to time constraints.

[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
