The latest D&D game.

[Legionnaire]

As suddenly half of our party vanished in an instant we brave adventurers sallied forth against the overwhelming Kobold forces! I (Tiefling Rogue), Joe (Eldarin Rogue), John (Dragonborn Paladin), Chris (Dwarven Fighter) and Steve (Dwarven Cleric) made a good battle out of it. The quite consistent themes during the session were: Steve hurting the enemies and in the process healing the party member in the worst state (usually me or Chris, Chris' character was knocked out once!), John challenging the enemies to mano-a-mano and beating them into submission. I was consistently cutting them up and killing off the most enemies (I think) but totally rubbish with anything having to do with ranged weapons. Joe always had the highest Initiative, but I believe out of 10 attack rolls he only hit with about 2!!! (A very bad day for Joe). Chris' Dwarf made pretty much mince-meat out of anything that was in reach of his Battle Axe.

In the entrance to the Keep, Joe and I scouted forward and Joe took out a Kobold on guard with two well-aimed Crossbow Bolts (totalling something in the region of 55 Damage on two shots!!!) I fell into a Rat Trap that no-one noticed before and got pretty badly (b)eaten, rounding a corner behind a curtain two lurking (or three) Kobolds were dealt with pretty quickly and harshly. I know I'm in a bit of a bad state, having spent almost all of my Healing Surges for the day already, mostly due to a dire miscalculation (thought a Kobold couldn't hit me at AC 18, and it was their best warrior armed with 2 swords, it hurt!!!).

Well, give us a few hours rest and we'll be as good as new again.

Nice roundup! It was all very good fun. I did have a disastrous first combat - i think I rolled three consecutive 6's on a D20. However, I think my stealthy dispatching of the guard-goblin, and my performance in the final combat almost made up for my initial ineptitude.

I wonder if some of our other party members will magically reappear next month.
