(Previous Notes)

(Session 54 happened without me.)

Vaervenshyael excused herself to head for the manor. Ludo followed, inviting her up to the turret. The elf sarcastically agreed to visit.

She was heading into the manor's small garden when an ogre walking up the main road caught her attention. She stopped to assess the situation and saw Tankred leading a handful of people behind the beast. She quickly headed into the manor to cut the creature off from the front door.

Vaervenshyael ran through the manor, warning those she saw of an impending attack. Maximillian tried to say something to her and catch her cloak's hem on the way by, but she didn't hear him. There was an elf standing outside the front door, and he was casting a spell toward her comrades.

The fiend within took over, and she attempted to tackle the casting elf. He dissipated as she lunged, and Vaervenshyael ended up landing on her face in the dirt. The fiend raged. The elf tried to touch Vaervenshyael, and she kicked his hand violently away from her. This enraged the ogre, who swung mightily at her. She dodged. She drew her weapons.

Suddenly, Vaervenshyael had no idea why she was standing in front of an ogre with her weapons drawn. (The elf had touched her with a spell causing her to forget the last few minutes.) Someone used the name Udrin, and someone else mentioned the name Tegort. Vaervenshyael knew these names from traveling with Maximillian and Ludovic. "Oh.We have visitors."

Vaervenshyael was extremely relieved to have another elf in the town, especially one as distinguished as Udrin. It was about time someone civilized showed up to lend a hand. Udrin spun a tale of how Maximillian and Ludovic had been sent to Padua in search of the talismans on Udrin's behalf. If Maximillian had secretly been the brains behind Ludovic's reign, Udrin had been the power behind Maximillian.

Of note, Johann was quite sarcastic toward the elf lord, and Vaervenshyael strongly suggested, nay threatened, that he should moderate his tone. However, Udrin treated all the party, including the elf, as barely worthy of his time.

Plans were afoot for a foray for the two remaining talismans in Ubain.

[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
