Session 35 - The Caverns of the Surprisingly Nice yet Shrewd Mold Men

A nice jaunt through the thankfully fairly friendly caverns of the mold men. There sure was a lot of money spent on bribes though.
The people down there seem to have a way to slow (but not cure) the mold disease, and Moldus Vane himself is a pretty reasonable guy as far as the group could tell.

Several mysteries were discovered, some friendly but weird ancient monks were met, and there was even a chance meeting with an honest-to-gods Drow.

Such strange things dwell beneath the earth.

Session 34 - Nothing but parasiiiiites

So we had a surprise player turn up last night! Welcome to Pawel who's playing a Dwarf with biceps the size of your thigh.

They managed to find the underground river entrance to Moldus Vane's bunker-dungeon by the end of the session, but not before Kronk fell prey to the horrid six-limbed leech creatures hanging out nearby.

To his credit, Kronk did manage to rip one of them in half before he bled out. Mist Urmun got covered in the gore downstream due to rune shenanigans.
Speaking of, Mist himself is slowly becoming a magic tattoo-covered rune mage... but with Kronk dead who's going to do his tats?

Mushroom Lover is barred from Woodsley nowadays after vomiting webs over everyone in the pub, so that's awkward.

I've been fiddling with rules oh no
I tried this out when I ran a game in Australia and it worked pretty well - your character gets a couple of skill points at first level based on their prior career.

This will be retroactive, naturally. So next time you're here you'll have two skill points to add to your character so long as you can justify your character using them in his old job. So if you used to be an Apothecary it'll likely be First Aid and if you were a Scholar it's probably Languages.

Another thing in a similar vein, I'm ditching Architecture (it never gets used) and replacing it with a limited Arcane skill that helps identify potions and lets non-wizards use scrolls. Thieves being able to use scrolls is a pretty standard thing in trad D&D, donchaknow.

Failure would mean misidentifying the item (cackle cackle) or the casting going Horribly Wrong.

Session 33 - Lichen Up

In an attempt to get to the bottom of the mold, the group attempted to get to the bottom of the dungeon beneath the cathedral.
They didn't find Moldus Vane down there yet but at least they found another way in so it's easier next time!

They even found the treasure I kind of put in there as a throwaway because I didn't think anyone would find it. Good work guys! Kronk's levelled up as a result, so enjoy your extra HP and smashing ability.

The consequences of your carousing will be felt next time, perhaps.

- A talking skeletal head

Total: 10 exp

Exploration:

Total: 0 exp

Events:
- Meanwhile back at the black fortress... our intrepid party have spent the previous session off-screen escaping the fortress. As they pass the skinned corpses of some reindeer and reach the treeline they join up with a few others. (50 exp)

- Battered and bleeding, the decision is made to try and climb up the side of the mountain to the spooky cabin to try and get some sleep. (50 exp)

- Armed with crampons and Jane Doe's tentacle rope, Stabbington scales the mountain. He is loud and obvious and attracts the attention of a zombie at the top who's just sort of chilling. (50 exp)
- The zombie yells and Stabbington yells back before charging in and killing it. Meanwhile the rest of the party climb up behind. (50 exp)

- The black gates creak open and armies of the damned begin to pour out, supplemented by skin bags floating out of holes above. (50 exp)
- Despite fighting bravely, Zan using a tree limb to wrap skin bags like a horrible candy floss, and and the combat-testing of Jane Doe's new oil blasting flame sword contraption, there are too many of them and they keep coming. (50 exp)

- Jumurak eats a crit and has his clothes and armour torn off by a skin kite. Sparky trick-shots a snowball at the mountain's peak and starts an avalanche, it's time to go! (50 exp)

- Descent from the cliff is achieved via many means, including the normal climb-down-the-rope option but also by using grabbed skin kites as parachutes. Above, the avalanche crushes any undead outside the main doors. (50 exp)

- At ground level the party jog off the path to eat something and recuperate in the woods, hopefully out of sight. (50 exp)

- Grunting is heard from the road, a big bull of a man in necromancer robes is dragging himself up towards the black fortress. Sparky investigates and sees a strange crossbow bolt lodged in his spine, then gets stage fright and gets others to talk to him. (50 exp)

- The man gives some information about how the people guarding the mountain are being picked off, then breathes his last breath into a glass vial and stoppers it. This is immediately nicked. (50 exp)

- Continuing down the mountain path, the party comes across crude wooden cages which have been knocked over. The skin bags that were trapped within attack but are dispatched fairly easily. (50 exp)

- A weird crossbow bolt affixed with a message saying "Good luck, Sir Three-Eyes and friends" lands in the midst of the group. This is immediately nicked. (50 exp)

- Further down the path, the party is fired upon by a skeleton hanging in a tree. Sparky slices its legs off with a snowball trick shot and it is looted, including its brass-nostrilled head. (50 exp)

- Continuing on and hoping for a rest stop, another Necromancer is found leaning against a wooden cage. He gives some info about the people who killed him and points out his campsite, but laments his lack of glass vial to catch his last breath. (50 exp)
- Zan whips out the recently stolen skull and lets him breath his last breath into it, creating a talking skull with the guy's soul in it. He's very grateful and I enjoy this gimmick immensely. (50 exp)

- The necromancer campsite is reached and the party finally get a chance to rest. For now. (50 exp)

Session 32 - Mold Growth Forest

So an unanticipated side effect of the bonus exp for amusing and/or noble deaths is that John's new character actually has more exp than his previous character.

I hereby declare this to be a feature, not a bug.

Welcome to Dominic who's playing a Barbarian named Kronk, and welcome back Tom after your infinite hiatus! The group's getting big again which is super great.

The mold plague has spread during the party's absence and taken over several villages, but luckily the surviving population is reasonably well informed about the threats they face.
The destruction of the giant amphibian in the lake means that Pillartown's defences are much more likely to hold. Hooray! There's always going to be a threat so long as the mold still exists, but thanks to your actions (and Arnold's sacrifice) they are much safer.

I'm pretty sure someone named your party at some point but I can't remember it (something about being dead men walking? There was definitely a "sponsored by Pie Mama's!" at the end), so if you guys want to call yourselves anything you should feel free to think up a good name!

Session 32 - Mold Growth Forest

Campaign date:
Saturday, July 15th 1549
Moon phase: New Moon
Zodiac: Gemini

New characters:

- Kronk the Barbarian, speaks in the third person and finds it difficult to resist levers.

- A three-dimensional sculpture-key given to you by the Wizard of Grafton

Quests and Rumours:

- The Mad Alchemist of Gwinear will pay good money for cysts from a Feathered Swine. He is currently hiring people to go collect them.
- The Dwarfs are retreating back into their mountain halls, hoping to wait out the demon armies that raze the surface world.
- Devils are among us, seeding strife in the vanguard of the demon armies.
- There is a mold cult centred in Moondin and they keep trying to infest other towns.

- Shut down the anti-magic field of the Wall and the Wizard of Grafton will be able to wipe out all the mold creatures forever! He swears! He has given you a key which will allow you to enter whatever the wall has as a control room.

- Children wander into the woods in Woodsley. Their parents fear for their very souls for elves are suspected.

Death Toll and Injuries:

- Arnold the Goblin, chomped into chunks by some sort of great and horrible amphibian that parroted the screams of the dying, but not before he could teach it to tell people "I'm a big scary monster, run away!"
