Rangers of Frostgrave - Perilous Dark - Dog Days Part 2

Carov rallied his team once again, and recruited a new Man-At-Arms, Kolli, an archer, Orsino, and, since Sutton had recovered from his previous injuries, brought him back.
They once again headed for the Reaver's treasure, with a better plan to delay the Chronohounds.

At first, things went well.  Kolli and Sutton brought down three hounds right away, and  Victor and Gorbin destroyed two of the Time Crystals.

But then, things started to go wrong.  Sutton and Kolli went down, and Yvanne's fireball failed to injure any hounds.

Victor and Gorbin went down trying to destroy the third crystal, with Orsino and Revna also going down.  Carov, supported by Yvanne, destroyed the fourth crystal, but as they went to destroy the third, Yvanne fell, and Carov was overwhelmed.

Sadly, Carov did not survive his injures.  He and Orsino join the Hall of Memories.
Victor, Yvanne, Revna, Kolli and Sutton survive without any ill effects.  Gorbin, however, received a permanent injury to his left arm, weakening his ability to fight.


Crawling back to the inn, Victor decides to stop any adventuring, and just bide his time until the ship to Alladore.  So, he bid his companions farewell.

And thus ends the tales of the Rangers of Frostgrave.

Campaign Turn 13 - Hesione - Nervous Tapping of Fingers

Image
 After a long hiatus, I am back (hopefully).  Documenting the last turn I played before shutting down for a while. Celebrations over, the crew of the Renegade Pigeon prepared to finally discover the mystery they had been tracking down since they first banded together.  The two artifacts that they had - one given to Kazi by her mother, and one in the possession of the alien treasure-hunter, Vonthos, led to Hesione. There were many challenges along the way.  And today was no different. "She went where?" Jaxx asked.  "Out to explore", Selene responded.  "She and Miak went out together." "Hey boss - don't look at me like that" Miak responded.  "She has a mind of her own, you know." Jaxx sighed.  They had made sure their many rivals were distracted, but Hesione was getting too hot.  "Boss - while we're waiting for Kazi, I got us a job.  Simple in-and-out, taking out some mercs who captured a corporate outpost.  Good pay." &

Bug Hunt - Kethira Station, Actogor System

Image
I didn't want to 3d print 20 or so "Slithering Horrors", so I decided to try this turn in Roll 20.  Created some quick macros to help, uploaded some tokens, and went at it.  Based on the results, I should have stuck with dice and minis.... "Ok, Team - Listen Up", Dude said, her voice shaky, "We have our next mission.  Kethira station in the Actogor system has been infested by some kind of alien goop-creatures.  We go in, burn them, get out." "Dude, calm down.  I know Gunny left, but it's just us." Kevin said. "Quiet down, Kevin.  Here's the layout of the station.  We hit these three spots, kill as many things as we can, and call for evac.  We're bringing my incinerator, Flamey, and grenades.  Now suit up, and move out." The team moved in, securing  the entrance.  Blips all over.  The team advanced, getting through the main doorway, burning and shooting their way through many of the Slithering Horrors.  Dude and Vile stay

House Rule - Leveling up

In order to make the game a bit more fun and easy, I'm going to make an alteration in the training rules for going up levels. The training time will be a flat week - I forgot if I was having you spend two before, but in the future, it will be 1.  If I was already having you spend 1 week, you will still be spending 1 week :) The cost will be 500gp/level, so to get to 5th level, the training cost will be 2500gp.  And don't forget that Toko and Johnny Longbow will need 1000gp each to get to 2nd level, once they get enough XP.  This is down from 1500gp per level per week. Non-humans have level limits per the "rules as written".  As I've mentioned before, I'm removing that for single-classed characters.  However, there will be a penalty.  Once you exceed the by-the-book limit (i.e. a half-elf fighter's max level is 8th by the book, so for Dylan to get above 8th level), the time to train doubles to 2 weeks - so it's basically 1000gp/level after that. It is s
