It was pretty dramatic actually. Things were looking pretty grim that first session. Derek was back the next week and he rallied the troops in a big way. John would be making a new character if the Cleric hadn't bludgeoned his way to his side and healed him.

End of the game, they managed to grab both objectives. All four services - Quartermaster, Marshal, Lorekeeper, and Spymaster - increased to 50% or more, and the survivors marched from the Western Bank to Plainsworth. There's still a long ways to go but they're one step closer to Skydagger Keep.

Here's the campaign map. The group starts in the lower left and must march to the upper right. They decide the route.

A visit to ancient ruins searching for relics and sacred artifacts.

Thanks. We're having fun.

And the Cleric is definitely going to the top of the Cinder King's hit list.

Excellent writ ups and great figures.  Looking forward to more!

Lazarus wading into the thick of it is a common sight - a bit too common for my liking. I'm trying to keep the pressure on but I gave the starting characters a step up right out of the gate (they're described as veteran mercenaries) and now they're a bit *too* powerful for the regular line baddies in this first arc.

We paused this week's session mid-battle against a mini-boss. Finish up next Tuesday, then Other Pat will run some RPG one-shots while I paint up/write up the next portion.

They look strong now but the Cinder King is coming.
