|
+ **Update 2024-01-27**: So I just realized a couple of things. 1) it's been almost 1.25 years since we started this campaign already!! and, 2) the way this gamelog---which, according to my git log, I've been keeping since 2021-12-23---is set up, I don't really have any way to keep track of individual sessions of an ongoing campaign in a meaningful way. Besides little updates to existing entries such as this one. That is, if I want to run the numbers and see how many individual sessions I have played over the course of a year, I don't really have any easy way to do that. I shall ponder this.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ Anyway, huge session last night. The culimation of our last year of playing. Let me catch you up:
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ The city-state of Thanalas is ruled by a cruel despot. Martok, a cannibal halfling with psionic powers in a world of little to no magic. And we're trying to overthrow him and give the city back to the people. So we rallied a bunch of townies to our cause. And we waited until the night of the Lunar Veil, this big parade + festival celebrating the rare full double eclipse of the sun by the planet's two moons, to stage the coup. BUT some terrorists, the Ghostflame Syndicate, planted a bunch of bombs in the parade floats to wreck the coup and damage the cause. But we found them and defused them. And meanwhile a couple of us got caught in Martok's private viewing box in the gladiatorial arena. (We had just executed on a plan to assassinate Martok by spiking his drink with the one half of the explosive components of the Ghostflame's bombs, and lacing his food with the other half. So after he eats and drinks them... BIO BOMB.) And the rest of us have just found out that our pal Valtor, the hugely popular and renowned gladiator, is in cahoots with the Ghostflames and got them access to the parade and the coliseum to plant all the bombs.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ And that's where we are now.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ A whole bunch of stuff happens in parallel. Dakka gets roped into working the announcer booth for the gladiatorial games, pulling off a bunch of Vicious Mockery and Bardic Inspiration through the giant announcer's horn. At one point, our man Henry shows up in the booth and is like, Hey boss what's this? And shows Dakka one of the bombs. Turns out there are dozens of them planted in the stands. Which are packed with people. Dakka announces a competition, tells everybody to look under their seats and if they find a little hourglass shaped thing, CAREFULLY bring it to the announcer's booth WITHOUT letting the sands in the two halves mix for the chance to win a Fabulous Prize! This is maybe the most dangerous thing Dakka has ever done.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ Meanwhile, Lucia is running around running all kinds of stuff behind the scenes. Kale, head of the Ghostflames, summons her for an audience and asks her to kill Martok. She's like, gosh that's TOTALLY not already part of our plans and is totally inconvenient, gosh. But she accepts. Then Zara---a old pal of Jolly's from the Veiled Alliance freedom fighter group---shows up in the crowd and approaches Lucia. She tells her the thri-kreen are IN the arena. (We have a kinship bond with the thri-kreen after rescuing their eggs from the ankheg.) They have buried themselves in the sand and will wait for our signal to leap out and attack. When she hears the "competition" announced over the horn, she runs up to the announcer's booth, teaches our man Henry how to disarm the bombs, and sends him out to find as many as possible. Eventually, he and his boys disarm about a dozen. And about a dozen more are turned into the booth for prizes.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ Meanwhile, Darragh, our champion, is prepping for the final event. It's her versus Valtor. She delivers a pep talk to some of the civilians who have been conscripted / forced into being gladiators. (After we ourselves escaped from the arena, Martok captured a bunch of commoners and forced them to fight in our place.) They are being forced to fight seasoned guards and gladiators in a re-enactment (to the death!) of the ancient battle at the temple, where the execution of Rajat shattered the sun and drained magic from the world, an event to which we are mystically bound and have had visions of. Darragh's pep talk, and her bribing one of the guards to join the commoner's side, lead to the commoners narrowly defeating the guards in a dramatic and very unlikely upset. Then it's finally time for the main event.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ Jolly and Diablo have been entertaining Martok, his personal bodyguard Grak, and a couple of guards this whole time in Martok's personal box. A lot of deception and sleight of hand and luck have made this go fairly well. He noshes on the laced grubs. And as the final event starts, he cracks open the bottle of his finest wine. Which is the drink spiked with the catalyst. He toasts, and downs the drink, and he fucking EXPLODES. Jolly and Diablo dive behind the thick oak bathroom door and avoid most of the blast. They're stuck in there now though, so they escape down the poop chute and end up outside the arena.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ Simultaneously, Darragh and Valtor square off out on the arena. A dozen guards encircle them, and behind each of them is chained a giant ten foot tall scorpion to force them into close quarters. Darragh immediately gives the signal, and the sands rumble, and over a dozen thri-kreen warriors emerge from the sand and start wrecking the gladiators. Darragh easily dispatches Valtor and when she grabs his scimitar it burns her hand and sears her mind.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ When Martok's booth explodes, Grak the half-giant (with whom we have a lot of personal beef) is thrown from the booth, through the air, and lands on the arena floor far below. He survives, but just barely. Only for Lucia in passing to magically catapult a small stone through his skull.
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ An over-excited fan shakes her hourglass in the stands, and blows several rows of seats to kingdom come, and also blows a hole in the side of the arena. Disastrous. But also the only unintended explosion after recovering two dozen something bombs?
|
||||||
|
+
|
||||||
|
+ And that's where we ended. Now you're caught up on a little over a year of D&D.

|
<p>Tales of Athas is a game of D&D that I started playing 2022-11-17
|
||||||
|
as a Player. It is a in person Campaign and is currently Ongoing.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>an in person campaign with the old vulcamonos gang!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>can’t believe it. very excite.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>some real mad max / dune / acid death fantasy kind of world building
|
||||||
|
from Keegs, which is really cool. good for him. there’s a huge, cracked,
|
||||||
|
blistering sun; and two moons (they have names and everything but i
|
||||||
|
didn’t write them down). there are 9-ish ‘islands’ of earth in a ‘sea’
|
||||||
|
of loose sand, so despite being in an unforgiving desert, there’s lots
|
||||||
|
of nautical imagery. different crafts that can sail on the silt sea.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>we started out in prison with no items. as cliche as meeting in a
|
||||||
|
tavern, but fun. we felt underpowered and desperate.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i’m playing a lovable rogue based on dolly parton. her name is jolly
|
||||||
|
pardon. she grew up dirt poor in a one-room cabin in the (hills). one
|
||||||
|
day she was spotted by a traveling (prince) who was enchanted by her
|
||||||
|
singing. he whisked her off of to the court of the petty warlord, where
|
||||||
|
she grew very popular. her nemesis Dolene, however, grew jealous of her
|
||||||
|
and spread rumors to besmirch her reputation. Dolene was eventually
|
||||||
|
successful and the warlord tossed Jolly out of the court.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>In our session, we broke out of gladiator’s prison, crossed the city,
|
||||||
|
and made it to Shatterglass, an abandoned obsidian mine and outpost of
|
||||||
|
the Veiled Alliance, an organization dedicated to freeing the slave
|
||||||
|
cities of Athas.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>We found what was left of my crew there. Zax was a husk. his mind had
|
||||||
|
been wiped. And the others had been dragged deeper into the mines.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Following the trails, we found a strange tableau. Thri-keen eggs had
|
||||||
|
been arranged around the bodies of Verin and Zara. As we approached, a
|
||||||
|
horror burst from the ground and attacked us.</p>
|

|
<p>So yeah! Super excited! It’s been about 8 years we determined since
|
||||||
|
we’ve all played together. and Keegs is a super crafty dm. There are
|
||||||
|
battle maps and minis, and he gives everybody dossiers for character
|
||||||
|
sheets and notes, and sometimes he crafts huge stage pieces for the map.
|
||||||
|
it’s all really quite impressive.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Update 2024-01-27</strong>: So I just realized a couple of
|
||||||
|
things. 1) it’s been almost 1.25 years since we started this campaign
|
||||||
|
already!! and, 2) the way this gamelog—which, according to my git log,
|
||||||
|
I’ve been keeping since 2021-12-23—is set up, I don’t really have any
|
||||||
|
way to keep track of individual sessions of an ongoing campaign in a
|
||||||
|
meaningful way. Besides little updates to existing entries such as this
|
||||||
|
one. That is, if I want to run the numbers and see how many individual
|
||||||
|
sessions I have played over the course of a year, I don’t really have
|
||||||
|
any easy way to do that. I shall ponder this.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Anyway, huge session last night. The culimation of our last year of
|
||||||
|
playing. Let me catch you up:</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The city-state of Thanalas is ruled by a cruel despot. Martok, a
|
||||||
|
cannibal halfling with psionic powers in a world of little to no magic.
|
||||||
|
And we’re trying to overthrow him and give the city back to the people.
|
||||||
|
So we rallied a bunch of townies to our cause. And we waited until the
|
||||||
|
night of the Lunar Veil, this big parade + festival celebrating the rare
|
||||||
|
full double eclipse of the sun by the planet’s two moons, to stage the
|
||||||
|
coup. BUT some terrorists, the Ghostflame Syndicate, planted a bunch of
|
||||||
|
bombs in the parade floats to wreck the coup and damage the cause. But
|
||||||
|
we found them and defused them. And meanwhile a couple of us got caught
|
||||||
|
in Martok’s private viewing box in the gladiatorial arena. (We had just
|
||||||
|
executed on a plan to assassinate Martok by spiking his drink with the
|
||||||
|
one half of the explosive components of the Ghostflame’s bombs, and
|
||||||
|
lacing his food with the other half. So after he eats and drinks them…
|
||||||
|
BIO BOMB.) And the rest of us have just found out that our pal Valtor,
|
||||||
|
the hugely popular and renowned gladiator, is in cahoots with the
|
||||||
|
Ghostflames and got them access to the parade and the coliseum to plant
|
||||||
|
all the bombs.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>And that’s where we are now.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>A whole bunch of stuff happens in parallel. Dakka gets roped into
|
||||||
|
working the announcer booth for the gladiatorial games, pulling off a
|
||||||
|
bunch of Vicious Mockery and Bardic Inspiration through the giant
|
||||||
|
announcer’s horn. At one point, our man Henry shows up in the booth and
|
||||||
|
is like, Hey boss what’s this? And shows Dakka one of the bombs. Turns
|
||||||
|
out there are dozens of them planted in the stands. Which are packed
|
||||||
|
with people. Dakka announces a competition, tells everybody to look
|
||||||
|
under their seats and if they find a little hourglass shaped thing,
|
||||||
|
CAREFULLY bring it to the announcer’s booth WITHOUT letting the sands in
|
||||||
|
the two halves mix for the chance to win a Fabulous Prize! This is maybe
|
||||||
|
the most dangerous thing Dakka has ever done.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Meanwhile, Lucia is running around running all kinds of stuff behind
|
||||||
|
the scenes. Kale, head of the Ghostflames, summons her for an audience
|
||||||
|
and asks her to kill Martok. She’s like, gosh that’s TOTALLY not already
|
||||||
|
part of our plans and is totally inconvenient, gosh. But she accepts.
|
||||||
|
Then Zara—a old pal of Jolly’s from the Veiled Alliance freedom fighter
|
||||||
|
group—shows up in the crowd and approaches Lucia. She tells her the
|
||||||
|
thri-kreen are IN the arena. (We have a kinship bond with the thri-kreen
|
||||||
|
after rescuing their eggs from the ankheg.) They have buried themselves
|
||||||
|
in the sand and will wait for our signal to leap out and attack. When
|
||||||
|
she hears the “competition” announced over the horn, she runs up to the
|
||||||
|
announcer’s booth, teaches our man Henry how to disarm the bombs, and
|
||||||
|
sends him out to find as many as possible. Eventually, he and his boys
|
||||||
|
disarm about a dozen. And about a dozen more are turned into the booth
|
||||||
|
for prizes.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Meanwhile, Darragh, our champion, is prepping for the final event.
|
||||||
|
It’s her versus Valtor. She delivers a pep talk to some of the civilians
|
||||||
|
who have been conscripted / forced into being gladiators. (After we
|
||||||
|
ourselves escaped from the arena, Martok captured a bunch of commoners
|
||||||
|
and forced them to fight in our place.) They are being forced to fight
|
||||||
|
seasoned guards and gladiators in a re-enactment (to the death!) of the
|
||||||
|
ancient battle at the temple, where the execution of Rajat shattered the
|
||||||
|
sun and drained magic from the world, an event to which we are
|
||||||
|
mystically bound and have had visions of. Darragh’s pep talk, and her
|
||||||
|
bribing one of the guards to join the commoner’s side, lead to the
|
||||||
|
commoners narrowly defeating the guards in a dramatic and very unlikely
|
||||||
|
upset. Then it’s finally time for the main event.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Jolly and Diablo have been entertaining Martok, his personal
|
||||||
|
bodyguard Grak, and a couple of guards this whole time in Martok’s
|
||||||
|
personal box. A lot of deception and sleight of hand and luck have made
|
||||||
|
this go fairly well. He noshes on the laced grubs. And as the final
|
||||||
|
event starts, he cracks open the bottle of his finest wine. Which is the
|
||||||
|
drink spiked with the catalyst. He toasts, and downs the drink, and he
|
||||||
|
fucking EXPLODES. Jolly and Diablo dive behind the thick oak bathroom
|
||||||
|
door and avoid most of the blast. They’re stuck in there now though, so
|
||||||
|
they escape down the poop chute and end up outside the arena.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Simultaneously, Darragh and Valtor square off out on the arena. A
|
||||||
|
dozen guards encircle them, and behind each of them is chained a giant
|
||||||
|
ten foot tall scorpion to force them into close quarters. Darragh
|
||||||
|
immediately gives the signal, and the sands rumble, and over a dozen
|
||||||
|
thri-kreen warriors emerge from the sand and start wrecking the
|
||||||
|
gladiators. Darragh easily dispatches Valtor and when she grabs his
|
||||||
|
scimitar it burns her hand and sears her mind.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>When Martok’s booth explodes, Grak the half-giant (with whom we have
|
||||||
|
a lot of personal beef) is thrown from the booth, through the air, and
|
||||||
|
lands on the arena floor far below. He survives, but just barely. Only
|
||||||
|
for Lucia in passing to magically catapult a small stone through his
|
||||||
|
skull.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>An over-excited fan shakes her hourglass in the stands, and blows
|
||||||
|
several rows of seats to kingdom come, and also blows a hole in the side
|
||||||
|
of the arena. Disastrous. But also the only unintended explosion after
|
||||||
|
recovering two dozen something bombs?</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>And that’s where we ended. Now you’re caught up on a little over a
|
||||||
|
year of D&D.</p>

<p>Tales of Athas is a game of D&D that I started playing 2022-11-17
|
|
||||||
as a Player. It is a in person Campaign and is currently Ongoing.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>an in person campaign with the old vulcamonos gang!</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>can’t believe it. very excite.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>some real mad max / dune / acid death fantasy kind of world building
|
|
||||||
from Keegs, which is really cool. good for him. there’s a huge, cracked,
|
|
||||||
blistering sun; and two moons (they have names and everything but i
|
|
||||||
didn’t write them down). there are 9-ish ‘islands’ of earth in a ‘sea’
|
|
||||||
of loose sand, so despite being in an unforgiving desert, there’s lots
|
|
||||||
of nautical imagery. different crafts that can sail on the silt sea.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>we started out in prison with no items. as cliche as meeting in a
|
|
||||||
tavern, but fun. we felt underpowered and desperate.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>i’m playing a lovable rogue based on dolly parton. her name is jolly
|
|
||||||
pardon. she grew up dirt poor in a one-room cabin in the (hills). one
|
|
||||||
day she was spotted by a traveling (prince) who was enchanted by her
|
|
||||||
singing. he whisked her off of to the court of the petty warlord, where
|
|
||||||
she grew very popular. her nemesis Dolene, however, grew jealous of her
|
|
||||||
and spread rumors to besmirch her reputation. Dolene was eventually
|
|
||||||
successful and the warlord tossed Jolly out of the court.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>In our session, we broke out of gladiator’s prison, crossed the city,
|
|
||||||
and made it to Shatterglass, an abandoned obsidian mine and outpost of
|
|
||||||
the Veiled Alliance, an organization dedicated to freeing the slave
|
|
||||||
cities of Athas.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>We found what was left of my crew there. Zax was a husk. his mind had
|
|
||||||
been wiped. And the others had been dragged deeper into the mines.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>Following the trails, we found a strange tableau. Thri-keen eggs had
|
|
||||||
been arranged around the bodies of Verin and Zara. As we approached, a
|
|
||||||
horror burst from the ground and attacked us.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>So yeah! Super excited! It’s been about 8 years we determined since
|
|
||||||
we’ve all played together. and Keegs is a super crafty dm. There are
|
|
||||||
battle maps and minis, and he gives everybody dossiers for character
|
|
||||||
sheets and notes, and sometimes he crafts huge stage pieces for the map.
|

it’s all really quite impressive.</p>
