Wednesday Night Game

Hello Listeners!

This week is Episode 50, Session 25 Side A, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 4 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 4 Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton is introducing Krask, a level 4 Lizardfolk Paladin. And Matt plays a level 4 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

In today’s episode, the players decide that it’s time to finish what they started with those ghouls they saw tear up their enemies a few episodes back after they defeated the Flame Skull. And by “finish what they started,” I mean “go in there for the very first time since they saw what happened with the Bugbears who went in there and Greg scouted it out for them.”

They head in there with a decent plan and a reckless attitude. Of course, Krask gets into trouble immediately.

What else would we expect from this group though, right?

Please, enjoy the show!

This week is Episode 48, Session 24 Side A, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 4 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 4 Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton is introducing Krask, a level 4 Lizardfolk Paladin. And Matt plays a level 4 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

In today’s adventure, the players rescue the last surviving Rockseeker!

Colin considered this a major accomplishment since he was pretty sure they were going to miss this tiny, locked, side room in the dungeon. Not enough of an accomplishment to let the players level-up of course, they still have a lot of this dungeon to clear after all. The deal they end up cutting with the dwarven entrepreneur was also a stroke of genius on their part, so we can chalk this social encounter up as a win for them.

Please, enjoy the show!

So there’s a fair amount of crosstalk in this episode. We’d been on hiatus for a while so we were excited to see each other and hang out again. I apologize for the sound quality and our lack of professionalism. But we did have a lot of fun, which I’ll never apologize for.

In this episode, the characters loot the bodies of their fallen foes and we have a lot of tangential thoughts and conversations. But there’s a little character building, a little investigation, and some discussion about the world as well.

Please, enjoy the show!

In this episode, the adventurers, less than stealthy due to a loudly whispered argument and an untimely sneeze, burst into a columned chamber with a giant dwarf statue and a couple bugbears. This generates a little confusion for the party as they were pretty sure that there was a drow in here at the end of last session. They rush in there and… the situation changes rapidly from there.

This week is Episode 41, Session 20 Side B, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

Remember how last week the players were on fire with jokes? This week the characters are just on fire.

Because Flame Skull.

This is their first major conflict with a spellcaster enemy. We’re not counting the joke of a slaughter that they committed against Glasstaff and the Maglubiyet goblin priest. Those guys were sub-level 3. Chump change. The Flame Skull counts as a 5th level spellcaster. That means 3rd levels spells; the unofficial non-“baby” spells. I’m talking about Fireball folks.

This might be the most tense fight they’ve had since the goblin ambush on the road all the way back in Episode 1 of this series… But not for the reason you’d think.

We discover, and are not surprised to find out, that Zombies are nothing to an Owlbear. We also discover that Uitzash is the true animal handler of the group.
