17th Session

And so comes the end of the first chapter of the game.  Our battle with the earth elementals and the badger continued into the night but strategy, skill and team work won out over conjured elementals and a shape-changed druid.   Everybody leveled and we marched back to Oleg's in triumph, but not before dumping the stag lord's corpse into a river, checking on our miners and checking out the temple.

Thus ends chapter one of Kingmaker, next week prepare for chapter two!

11th session

Finally back to the game after weeks and half the players don't show up.
It was the ranger, the pally, the inquisitor and me exploring hexes and it was pretty eventful. First we found a collapsed river structure that housed two Tatzlewyrms (basically snake like proto-dragons) who attacked us on sight. We killed them and collected their heads for a quest and skinned them for their armor quality hides. Then we found the ruins of two buildings inhabited by two frog like humanoids that told us to leave, they looked desperate and so we fed them before moving on. Then we found the lair of the legendary boar Tusk Gutter and managed to slay him without difficulty, completing another quest.
All told it was a lot of activity collected into three hexes, we collected some nice treasure and completed two quests. I also leveled.


Session 4:

Session 4:
The Paladin and the Sorcerer did not make it to the game and we found a bandit camp, this was the camp of one of the bandit camp's lieutenants (the evil chick with the two axes) and 12 of her meanest friends. We accidentally stumble into the edges of their camp because we don't have much in the way of stealth and immediately get shot at by archers. In the opening volley I am reduced to 0 hit points and think I'm going to sit this one out, but our Magus surrounds us in a mist and another player feeds me a potion and I get back into the fight.
What then proceeds is 11 rounds of the most nail biting, edge clinging exciting battle I have ever been a part of. I am tossing buffs and grease and just being as effective as possible every round, the ranger despite an obvious mutual animosity with the die roller is just kicking ass and the Magus is just shockingly good at filling the air with crossbow bolts and changing the terms of the engagement to our favor. The only sour point of the night is that the lieutenant managed to kill our Inquisitor.
Fortunately for us our GM decided to not penalize us for missing two players and allowed us to raise the inquisitor from the dead by tossing his hacked up corpse into the holy pool at the temple. Erastil be praised!
We leveled and I picked up my first level in Shelyn's faith but I will always have a soft spot for Erastil and his followers.
