Group finds their spine!

 

Getting back on track this week, missing players returned and we had a full house! 

All nine players present. 

The usual suspects:

Lily Tigress: Fairy Illusionist (aka Tiger lily) Has wand will travel

Fiona (and cake) Halfling Warlock (with fairy cat familiar) (bestie of Vellyn) (foreshadowing tears to come)

Vellyn, Dwarf Fighter (bestie of Fiona) 

Pais, Halfling thief and Monarch of the Witchlight

Delphine, Even Cleric of Demeter. (cant heal dead)

Rosetta, Dryad Druid and Juniper(awakened sapling- her tree)

Rod, Human Duelist (carpet inspector)

Babs, Harengon monk 

Harry Cottontail, Harengon Wizard  aka Hare-trigger

After reviewing and discussing options, they returned to Loomlurch to get the painting by any means! (oh also they were gonna try to free the children too)

A quick stop to visit Chucklehead and sample more goblin candy. They barged into the tea room and then into the workshop. 

Confronted by Pincushion and Cradlefall a fight ensued. Tin soldiers summoned and joined the fight. 

Review of the product: absolutely the worst laid out adventure i have EVER SEEN. combat stats are either scattered or missing. Important details like villain's list of items are in room descriptions not the characters description. I know this is supposed to be an adventure that can be beat sans combat, but even the best RPer will resort to the blade occasionally! (side note wyrmling dragons are still nasty) Asside from the fact this "campaign" is really just a module thats been bulked to milk cash. The official minis are a rip off as they are nearly all of non combat people. The stuff your group will fight are not included, premium or rare.. if you intent to run this: look up 3 d prints of the figs and save your wallet. 

The fight was fast and brutal. The wyrmling fled badly injured, Pinchusion torn to bits and the tin soldiers smashed. and Bestie died. Vellyn took an 18 point green dragon breath to the face while at 2 hitpoints.

A quick search of the building and freeing of the kids,

 and other prisoners (Elkhorn the dwarf of Valors Call) they fled the scene before Granny Nightshade appeared.

returned to Little Oak and met Will of the Feywild and the Get away gang for a celebration, tinged with loss. The session wrapped with Elfhorn joining the party (Kenneth is playing the freed dwarf to replace Vellyn)
