Adventures

The Second Four go at it again some time later, in a nearby village… “well, that was a bit of a waste of time. sure, we now we have a bit more experience with this exploring thing, but we didn’t find any indication of where Pettic’s party could be, what happened to them and… well, there are no two ways about it, we got our asses handed to us by some magical beings, or invisible ones, whatever it was that happened there. we were very lucky by being immediately by the entrance, otherwise I doubt we would have survived without weapons or potions”, says Julienne [you can read more in the previous adventure ]. ...

The Second Four first, a look back… after the previous adventure I got some time to think about what I learned (or could have learned). there are some rules that I definitely didn’t follow (and knew about, but decided to continue ignoring for consistency) both in the RAW (rule as written) and RAI (rule as intended) sense. at least as far as I know. one of those was using the Protect spell for save checks, and another was regarding considering a Boss as outnumbered to apply benefits to the rogue (Pettic). in the end it didn’t matter because the fight ended horribly, from a win/loss point of vieve (I was actually very pleased with the outcome). ...

The First Four intro I’ve been wanting to play some solo RPGs for a while now, and I’ve been doing it in some fashion by playing around with game books, fantasy based 1 player tabletop (or traytop) games, and some scripted solo adventures (like Obvious Mimic or Archmage Press 5e solo adventures). some of those plays are more thorough than others, while some are more paused, depending on the time I have. ...

Langston This is my attempt to chronicle the adventures of Blovo during his brief time in Langston (“The wolves of Langston”), based on some notes taken at that time. this chronicle contains a combination of short notes with names, impressions and actions, as well as portions of a bit more elaborate retelling which I, as chronicler, put together trying to compose some sort of narrative. in time, everything might be rearranged in this last format, but for now some parts would appear as written by Blovo (his thoughts or what he said), while some might be written by me, the chronicler. ...

Blovo Allow me to introduce you to Blovo, and all that is known about his past. this is just part of the story, put together after some investigation and time spent talking to Blovo and the Ephenbald, his adopted human family, during my travels around the realms. the Ephenbald “Blovo” is a Hill Dwarf. he has been raised by a farming human couple (Krogg and Portclia Ephenbald), living quite far away from other towns or settlements. the couple lived in a long and narrow glen, a dead-end valley surrounded by tall mountains, about a 4 hour walk through hard terrain from the end of the valley. life was hard there and the weather extreme at times, but for some reason they decided to settle there and were usually left alone. they were not unfriendly but were mostly self-sufficient and didn’t visit the closest village (really just a sparse group of farmhouses) often, perhaps 4 times a year. the visits where mostly just Krogg meeting other farmers to barter and keep in touch. ...
