Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Bizenghast stands and performs a series of secret motions and utters arcan words taught to her by the master wizard, Quexel Mitrix. No sooner than the words leave her lips, than the hobgoblins fall down around the campsite. Since no targets are standing, I'm assuming arrows do not fly? Otis may stil...

Moonglimmer does indeed recognize them as hobgoblins, but something is a bit off about them.

Bizenghast knows that her sleep spell can reach them. They are about 200 yards away.

At this distance, it would be a long bow shot...at least -1 penalty to the shot.

Actions?

Bizenghast waits at her post while the others regroup with her. In the distance, the humanoids are setting down to eat the roast possum. One is on guard watching for intruders.

You have about 4 hours till sundown.

Actions?

Bizenghast keeps watch on the humanoids while Fungo scrambles back to inform the rest of the party what they've encountered.

Actions?

Fungo and Bizenghast move through the forest towards the large earthen embankment of the ring fort. Approaching from the south, they spy 6 armed humanoids. Their features are goblin like but they are taller and heavier built. Each has leather armor, a bow, and a bronze tipped spear. They camp outsid...

Now that the party has been to the ringfort, it is no great problem to find the place once again. Having a wood elf and a cleric of nature as your guides is an advantage. About a half day's travel and you find yourselves at the ringfort once again. Do you proceed through the north gate (the same you...

I agree with you. Very rarely have I been in a game where MUs choose a starting spell other than Sleep or Charm Person. As you said, Sleep is a nuke in the game for low levels. Having no saving throw makes it really effective. So, let us say all spells aren't equal. Good adventure writing can get sp...

The group settles down, making camp and breaking out a bit of rations. The cares of the day fade as companions, old and new, sit in the warm glow of the fire. The morning comes. No sign of bandit or beast in the night, the party makes a quick breakfast and then breaks camp. Travelling through the da...

Fungo also checks to see if the leather could be made to fit him Fungo takes a sniff of the stained leathers. He figures that they smell even worse than when the original owner had worn it. in fact, when Fungo gets closer to the dead men, he is sure that the cow must've smelled better! Fungo could ...

As expected by the ragged conditions of these men, they are penniless. They do wear leather armor...not great, but serviceable...and Fungo also finds one dagger, a quarterstaff, and a oaken club. The Garwood Forest lies to the south about a day's travel. To the east lies Barlow County. The day is ne...
