The Whale-Road (5e Beowulf: Age of Heroes)

Hwaet!! Embark on the whale-road and become a giver of rings with great spear-fame. I am looking to run a game of Beowulf: Age of Heroes. From Handiwork games, 5e, designed for duet play, 1 player and 1 DM. I am open to extending it up to three players at most. I have one, so room for two more. More...

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)

Empire of the East is a series of short novels by Fred Saberhagen, collected into an anthology titled EotE. It is mostly fantasy, wizards, demons, magic, swords, etc, but set in a world with a few science fiction elements in it. The titular Empire is the antagonist of the setting. A massive empire t...

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)

Tossing out a couple of possibilities of games I would be interested in running. I generally run fairly rules light. If any of these are of enough interest I'll post a recruitment thread. Beyond the Wall and Other Adventures. My all time favorite D&D and I really like the collaborative world bui...

Re: Player seeks game (PbP or VTT), RQ, EPT, T&T, Metamorphosis Alpha, T&T

Hey Mike, I like the looks of your game list. Especially Metamorphosis Alpha. I have thought about running that one using the Mutant Future rules from Goblinoid Games because MF is 1 Free!, 2 straight forward B/X based mechanics.

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)

I have a serious itch to run Beyond the Wall and Other Adventures, a D&D variant, but no current local group. I am looking for 3-5 players for a campaign with a setting and tone similar to Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles. Lots of player input in shaping things, I want to try out the campaig...

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

RL is going to have swamped until next weekend. So it is unlikely Hengist will see an update before then.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

Hengist is happy with this division of magic and will donate the mace to the temple of Baudh unless there is a new PC cleric of Baudh who would benefit. Yes, it's a bit metagamey, but I like to support my fellow PCs when I can.

Let's do the ID. Hengist has no preference as to shares.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

A return visit with a wizard bearing knock spells seems in order. I'm afraid there's not much we can do to keep the gargoyles from reoccupying the cleared roofs With any luck they will just spread out, not bring in more. Let us regroup and resupply then come back, says Hengist.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

I vote for ground level. Does anybody have the Knock spell? Otherwise we may be down to "Hulk Smash!" and the accompanying noise.

I will pray for invocations of healing and can detect traps three times each day, with the favor of Baudh

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

Hengist stands guard by the side door with Fingers and Sprinkles, using his shield to cover them from above. He figures the melee on the stairs has enough bodies in it.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

Henist will attempt to block the door with whatever at hand is best suited to the task. Rubble and stone the gargoyles my have tossed in, assorted detritus, his own body at a pinch if needed.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

That plan sounds good, Fingers. says Hengist.

Shield raised and mace in hand he will join the group in making their way to the gargoyle tower.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

The invisible sneak attack might work once. But as soon as we attack we're visible with no way to become invisible again. The gargoyles don't seem to pay much attention to what's going on, but that could change. If they are keeping watch, they saw what just happened here. Maybe they will oblige by ...

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

Sounds like as good a plan as we've got.

Hengist readies mace and shield for gargoyles coming down the ladder and goes over healing prayers to Baudh, he has a feeling they will be needed.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

Hengist's mace is now imbued, so that counts as a magic weapon and should hurt the gargoyles if it comes to it. Mostly I see myself providing CLW to out frontline fighters if needed.

Get them to fly away, steal their stuff, retreat to a choke point. Sounds like a plan to me.

Re: Expedition: Fingers/Treasure of Yoldessi Plains- 30 Aug

I like Option C. Half experience is preferable to all the experience but dead.
Starting at the top of the keep sounds like a good plan to me.
