Session #4 OOC

Taxidermists -

OOC Time!

Behind the Screens –

• In case you wanted to know, the goblin that was so well armored had a bit of a story.  His name is Tukil, and much of what he carried, including the armor, was stolen from the castle armory.  However, he was one of the few who knew that, and he wore it to make his comrades envious of his feigned wealth.  He was particularly haughty whilst fighting, laughing frequently and cajoling Seyer in his own tongue.
• The boat that was hastily commandeered belonged to the goblin magician who was slain immediately upon encountering the party.  It was his most prized possession, and it was recently obtained at that.  If someone were to handle or damage it, the magician would order his teammates to attack the vandal; similarly, if it was damaged (as Seyer might have done on another night), he would rush to cast “mend´ on it.
• The party that originally hid in the bushes was farther downriver at the beginning of the above encounter, but the party created enough noise, they were alerted to the battle and came anyway.  I had to ad-lib the majority of that fight.  XD

I’d also like to announce a DM’s Player of the Session, starting with Session 1:

Session 1 – Raina

           

            Raina’s precision and reliability helped her put down rat after rat.  Also, her Potato Water theft made her a criminal, and who doesn’t like a criminal on your side?

Session 2 – Kalecgos

            After wandering through town and lusting for the out-of-reach staff of frost, Kale was frustrated.  However, he took it out on the worg they encountered, dazing it mercilessly, allowing his surefooted party the chances they needed.

Session 3 – Seyer

           

            The convicting swings of his sword and bravery in fording the river for nothing more than the wealth of his friends was admirable.

Session 4 – Naya

           

            Naya and her owl proved essential in spotting party after party of goblins.  Her visual and aural clarity allowed the party to make successful and well-organized attacks.  She also sustained significant injury in battle but brought Kale to full health, putting him before herself.

           

Quote of the Week:  (after Seyer rolled a 20 on a Listen check) “You critically hear.” - Kale

Next week: The final assault towards the castle…who knows what the party will encounter?  Who was responsible for this heartless attack?  What sinister plan do they have in store?  All this and more…come back and find out!

Once you all have completed your character’s background, etc., I will post them here if you like.  I look forward to seeing them!  Again, you only have to write a backstory if you want to…

Also, in the good news department, I've officially updated to 3.5e!  This means some (slight) changes to your characters, but more importantly, it means a lot more options both in feats, classes and customization.  Kale can get an Improved Familiar now, Naya hits harder with her sling, and her owl can do more, Raina gets a boost to her stats and can select a combat style, and Seyer...well, Seyer gets a pat on the back.  =)  No, he gets access to a lot more fighter feats.

Out next session is currently scheduled for Sunday, July 10th, 2011 at 5:00 PM.  We look forward to seeing you, and a happy Fourth!

Until our next session, happy gaming!
