Thoughts on Stalwart Adventures 1

I didn’t want my thief/wizard to be a melee character. Neither one of those classes have armor at low levels. But things don't always go as planned when there are only 3 players, with 1 PC each.

So I used all my extra character points to make sure I could use at least 1 weapon semi-proficiently. That kept me from some nonweapon proficiencies that may have fit my character, but I can work on those as we adventure. I’ll find out what my character is interested in and what the party needs for skills. So far that may include Riding - Land Based and maybe Rope Use.


Rolling two natural 20s in our first night’s combats may give me an unrealistic view of what this character can do with a bow. I still need to make sure I’m staying on the periphery of action, and that I’m keeping spells to protect myself. The fighter and the cleric can hopefully take care of themselves.


My last concern is that my thief skills are a bit watered down, as I wanted some ability in each one. Tips I’ve read suggest specializing. We’ll see how these play out when I finally need them. I have some reconnaissance coming up in the next sitting, so those skills may be needed sooner rather than later.

[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

The Gathering Storm Complete Play Report

 (I have merged all my Gathering Storm posts into this one for easy access) [WFRP 1e] The Gathering Storm 1   A Quest from A Merchant   Kraft was contacted by a local member of the Merchant’s Guild. He was given the party’s name by one of his financers, von Bruner. It seems a member of the guild traveled to Stormdorf to sell a few loads of coal. The merchant should have returned by now, and the guild is getting worried. They would like to know the whereabouts of the merchant, Florian Wechsler, and the return of his guild ring if he is no longer alive.   They party accepted the quest without hesitation. The merchant felt compelled to inform them that things are very wet in Stormdorf, as it rains a lot. He suggested making sure they had hooded cloaks and/or wide brimmed hats.   The group returned to the dwarves, hoping against hope that they could find some rain gear on the cheap. The dwarves were planning to go to Stormdorf themselves to sell some coal after visiting Grunwald Lodge. The
