Against the Giants: campaign using ACKS

Ouch - bad way to go, bad way to go...

It’s their own fault for picking a fight :wink:

Proof that zombies can still be a valid monster when in a forsaken sinkhole of evil and with no clerics in tow :slight_smile:

Also: The more the merrier! :slight_smile:

Yay for Forsaken Sinkholes of Evil!

Smee got blasted by a lightning bolt: rolling his Mortal Wounds next Monday. Looks like he will become Halmary’s henchman.

I still find it amusing that in 48 sessions no one has ever wanted to hire help or get some henchmen; they all hate the idea of sharing their XP :slight_smile:

Another play session: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/?p=2743

This time with multiple giants being slain by a party of level 5-6 characters.

Sounds like a series of really exciting sessions!

They’ve been tense, epic, and the players seem to have really enjoyed them.

Session 55: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2013/04/against-the-giants-session-fifty-five/

The cleave mechanic is brutal when a dwarf under a Growth potion hacks away at low HD monsters with a magic sword that has the added benefit of a Striking spell.

Session 56: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2013/05/against-the-giants-session-fifty-six/

The party escaped the giant’s Steading, managing to slay even more giants as they fought their way out.

First fight against a juvenile dragon: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2013/05/against-the-giants-session-fifty-seven/

In the latest few sessions the party have slaughtered giants in an ambush, entered a dimensionally shifting tower for the elves, and are next planning on liberating some of the occupied towns of Geoff on their own, because they can.

Last Monday’s game notes: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2013/07/against-the-giants-session-sixty-five/

They are now in the thick of killing giants, having wiped out two supply caravans, ‘liberated’ a village, and are currently fighting off an ambush. They are levels 6 to 8 now, and proving more than capable of dealing with anything I am throwing at them, giants, dragons, all slaughtered!

Been a while since my last update: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/against-the-giants-session-seventy-seven/

Now on our 77th session, and the party are now fighting dark elves, and are at levels 6-8.

I’m surprised things turned out as well for them as it did!

They’ve been lucky. Almost killed three off a couple of sessions ago, and if they didn’t have access to Restore Life & Limb spells, they’d have some seriously crippled PCs (as it is, one has both night-terrors and constantly mumbles himself, another is now turned as a Wight; only the cleric has avoided any side-effects).
