The Lost City session 1 and 2 recaps
It's been a few weeks and the party has managed to expand as they explore the (still first level) of the Lost City (module B4). These are recaps of session one and two.
- I put the setting in a more great plains/American southwest inspired area. As such, the party were caught in an arroyo and washed out before they found the lost city. The pyramid is a giant tumulus/barrow
Session one: We have Locke the Elf Tumnus the Thief, Plover the armorer, Bruster the corn farmer, Swift the cheese maker, Rusty the Halfling trader, and a cow.
The party left the cow outside the barrow, though not on purpose. Soon after, Bruster the farmer fell to his death in a trap in the entrance area. He couldn't stick the landing
The party ended up going down a ladder and encountered some fire beetles who provided some warmth and light but didn't pay anymind to the party. Plover fed them and now the party had a mobile torch. Soon after, the group encountered a few Cynidicians of the brotherhood of Gorm, who shared some gila monster steak and water with the group. Since several of the party members were Lawful they were able to communicate. Rusty joined the brotherhood while the rest committed to exploring. The party knows of Zargon and a few of the troubles.
Session Two: The party is joined by Travis Scott the Weaver, Michael the Indentured Servant, Donald Glover the Halfling glovemaker, and Will Smith the Blacksmith. Plover is now a level 1 Priest.
The party encountered a band of twelve prairiegoblins (think humanoid prairiedogs with mange), who had managed to tunnel into the barrow. After a brief scuffle, four of the goblins were dead, while Michael the Indentured Servant was shanked by a goblin and Travis the Weaver was thwacked in the head by an errant chain being swung by Michael. The goblins ran away because Donald Glover the Halfling scared them off, also several died.
After further exploration, the group encountered a room of stirges, which they fed a fire beetle to and attempted to feed a dead goblin to; however, the stirges got angry over the dead body. The party didn't bother the stirges anymore.
After even more exploration, the party came upon a room of faeries having a tea party. Turns out the goblins that ran away got turned into lightning bugs. The faeries gave the group some old fireworks.
