Thoughts on Stalwart Adventures 4

There is a noticeable lack of leadership on this small team. Zak is intended to be a happy-go-lucky support character, but not the face of the team. The dwarf cleric seems like a good choice for a leader, but his player seems to have decided the dwarf is also a support character. And what a support character he is! Our characters have history together, so perhaps the fighter doesn’t think she should be the party leader.

A couple more wolves joined the fight from the stair above, but the party survived to fight another day. The cleric had his hands full with healing spells. The well turned out to be sentient, at least the water therein, holding the personality of a bard from long, long ago. The bard had served in the keep under Lord Crest. The bard also never shut up. Zak learned many things from the talking water bar
