May 9th, 2009: Black Pass Skullstompas at Hobbly's Heroes

Well, Blood Bowl fans, it has taken me a long time to return to report on this game. You wouldn't believe the chaos-ridden lands I had to traverse to cover this matchup.

Twenty two thousand bloodthirsty fans were in attendance on this perfect day for football.

First Half:

On the very first kickoff, a crazy fan threw a rock and stunned Varg Facepuller of the Skullstompas.

Turn 1: Brakk Badgerbreath (H) gets a casualty on Rok Ogrebiter (S). It seems Brakk was doing the biting this time as Rok received a groin strain which will force him to miss his next game.

Also, Paris the Sassy (H) got a casualty on Don Ratgnawer (S). Don was out for the game, but will suffer no long term effects.

Turn 5: Ort Groinsmasher of the Skullstompas scored the first touchdown!

Turn 6: Jorje Farmer (H) took the kickoff and completed a pass to Frederick Trapper (H).

Turn 7: Frederick Trapper (H) tied the game, scoring a touchdown!

Second Half:

Turn 1: York Surestrike (H) gets a casualty on Vik Ogretripper (S). Vik, too, strained his groin, and will miss the next game.

Turn 2: Grendle Ironbar (H) gets a casualty on Varg Facepuller (S). Varg was out for the game, but will suffer no long term effects.

Also, Jorje Farmer (H) threw another completion to Frederick Trapper (H).

Turn 3: Frederick Trapper pulls Hobbly ahead with his second touchdown!

Turn 6: Lewis Foolsgold (H) gets a casualty on Ort Groinsmasher (S), killing the Orc Blitzer. Today was just not a good day for groins on the gridiron.

Turn 7: Paris the Sassy (H) finally managed to pick the ball up off the ground and threw a completion to Joe Ratcatcher (H).

Also, Joe Ratcatcher ran the completion in for Hobbly's third touchdown of the day!

All groins aside, this was a beautiful, bloody game, making fans everywhere proud of their Hobbly and Skullstompa heroes. This is Johann the Mad reporting.

[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
