Although the rescue mission ultimately failed, the upswing was that the PCs got to loot the bodies of the missing party, thereby obtaining a shiny new +1 longsword. Also, Sathera was not among the bodies of her comrades, and evidence suggests that she was dragged off, so hope remains of her survival.
The session ended, again, in a fight with the black-robed, pale-skinned zealots who were gambling on a fight between a borer beetle and a giant spider when the party came upon them. Just as the previous session ended with these albinos killing Thorsten the sorcerer, this time they killed that same player's new character. The turnover rate of characters is such that players are refraining from naming them. Aside from the two longest running characters, Thomas and Ebin, the characters are referred to as The Thief, The Warrior, etc., and the most recent new character is called New Guy.

ReplyDeleteThat's the quintessential D&D "glass half-full" statement. :)
In this case it was probably a "glass three-quarters-full" situation since I'm fairly certain that the players would rather have a magic sword than a successful rescue.

ReplyDeleteYou forgot about my lantern carrier Link. Him and Seeker Tohm (my monk) are the only 2 characters left from the first session.
ReplyDeleteNot bad for someone with no stats.
His name was Farrukh... and he apparently had no friends to save him.
