![]() Only one ballista, so the chances of success weren’t great, but Kroft was going to man it and do the best she could to take out Zareem’s wings so he would be forced to land. Taking the party up to the roof of the militia barracks, Kroft revealed that the town’s defenses had a ballista. That required getting Zareem to land where the mostly melee party could engage him though, but even here Kroft had a plan. Mainly, she wanted the party to deal with the dragon, as Zareem was going to be a serious threat to the low-level warriors of the miltia who would pretty much just piss themselves and run away for 5d4 rounds after he showed his face. ![]() The party actually helped with that last bit a little, as Rholand did his usual “yell at the stubborn NPCs until they behave themselves out of shame” diplomacy with Vaz’em snarking from the sidelines (I guess being dead, and soon to be dead again, Cid wasn’t feeling up to joining in the snark fest at that moment).ĭespite the relatively meager defenses (compared to an army of ogres, owlbears, and manticores anyway) Kroft seemed confident that they could hold the town with the party’s help. Which admittedly wasn’t very much, about thirty low-level warriors, the Horsemen of Harse, and a dozen Grey Maidens that wanted to leave rather than stay and defend the town. Apparently Kroft had gotten her drunk head out of her self-hating ass long enough to rally what defenses the town had available. They returned to find the town militia manning the walls and prepared for war. ![]() So the party got back to Harse to find that they had managed to get ahead of Zareem’s army and beat it back to town – barely, but a small party weaving through the woods would certainly make better time than an army plowing its own path. I considered having the devil army attacking poor Harse at the same time as Zareem’s new raiding band for maximum chaos, but I was still struggling to put together the Battle of Harse anyway, so that idea got tabled in favor of a lingering threat. So Eurydice’s interference and Cid’s temporary resurrection thanks to Hazmarduk bought them a little breathing room. And since the devils could just teleport back to Korvosa and chat with their bosses, Cid dying and coming back to life only bought them a little bit of time as the army started heading back to Korvosa before they were alerted that Cid’s souls was not safely imprisoned in their little demi-plane Belzeragna. But Cid was being hunted by an army of devils, which they caught a couple glimpses of now and again, which was being led by a Retriever named Zarix (so they could run but couldn’t hide). UnArcaneElection – There wasn’t really a time limit on Eurydice’s (her name I picked partially be accident, but heh, it turned out to be extremely appropriate given who Eurydice is in mythology) offer. Okiba – Perhaps you should have hired those adventurers to keep me here, hahaha! Sounds like you had at least some fun with the Wrath of the Righteous AP, which is more than a lot of DMs can say. In addition, hopefully I will have more time to divert to writing up session logs, so we can start closing that gap which is roughly a full year (50+) of sessions! Even more importantly, with most of the secrets and mysteries of the campaign laid bare (except for what’s waiting for them in Scarwall – shhh, don’t spoil the surprise!), I have decided to allow my players access to this forum thread! So now, with any luck, you will get to hear directly from them how I made them scream (probably in frustration for the most part > ![]() It’s been a very convoluted, meandering road to get here, but I’ll have finally done it!Īs a result of reaching book five, I will be taking another break while Oliver’s player runs us through a second 4E game – and this time it’s actually a planned break! That should allow me plenty of free time to prepare the dark dungeon citadel of Scarwall in preparation for our poor bastards, er, intrepid heroes. :p But I *do* have something very good to report! Next session will mark the very last session of Book Four, after something like two years running it (which includes the several month hiatus I took). Good news everyone! I’m back, and I’m back with some very exciting updates! No, no promises that I won’t up and disappear for months at a time again – I know better than to not promise that. ![]()
