Char idea - island - startplaying

 Met tree spirits (fey or fairy?) young age. Interested in magic now. Went in search of learning more as he saw good people having bad things happen to them. 

~went wherever to find more magic. 

(DM says less magic on these islands).

Module: Against the Cult of the Crimson Hand

  • Shadowdark. 
  • 2 players, 4 char.s.
  • I had a fighter and wizard. 
  • He had a seawolf and witch. 
  • Melee guys did big dmg, lotsa crits.
  • Wizard was solid, 
    • ... nuked 3 guys at once with flaming palm i mean Burning Hands, set room ablaze b/c hay... actually i dont know if any others died from the fire i think they got out. 
    • later used Sleep spell to knock 3 guys out. Dude ran up and woke one. Recast, knocked 4 of them out. LOL. 
      • Against SLEEPERS - I think the DM said "roll to hit..." roll with adv or something probably. Maybe auto crit, cant recall how he did it. 
        • in B/X, auto kill, definitely. 
        • in D&D 5e, auto crit i think... or was it auto hit? I forget. 
Spoilers below. 


RECAP

  • We went in front. Killed 2 guardsmen. 
  • Saw weird skull at entry with blood on it. 
  • Every direction had lots of bad guys and we felt stuck. 
  • Talked to innocent NPC, gave some info. Still felt kinda stuck, But then something gave the signal to go for it, so we went north and ... snuck in. Flaming ... i mean Burning Hands, nuked 3 of 8. 1 ran. We kicked the others' butts. 
  • Disguised half our party, then later 3 of 4 of the party. Wearing their robes. 
  • We Charm spelled a dude, and with him and our 2 casters, we snuck around and kinda scouted stuff out. 
  • Meanwhile, the 2 fighter types went north again after fire out, found more guys to fight, found an ally to help. 
  • My party member realized we could gear up the prisoners/slaves from the town. That worked great, we had a tiny army and went and nuked the bad guys. 
  • Final area, drow bad lady, etc. Crits basically nuked her, while SLEEP spells nuked 4 out of 7 of the threats.
