Play report from Monday night’s game: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/06/against-the-giants-session-fifteen/
Tested my alcoholic house-rules, which were ok, but the dwarf found a way around it, and could well avoid too many side effects; we’ll see how it goes next week.

Two PCs are now level 3 (Corvin the thief, Halmary the cleric), the rest are now all level 2.
Exciting stuff! I love gameplay at that level range. Not so fragile as level 1, not quite epic enough to be true heroes, but certainly tough and ready for action.

This session saw our first use of carousing rules 
Great fun! "“Drink of this to find peace” and when Idni recklessly drinks from him, a sense of peace and calm envelopes him." Ahhh, PCs. Delightful.
Can you reveal what Nightbane is?
Nightbane is a magic sword, just does double-damage against giants, and sheds light in a 30’ radius but only in darkness.

Wherein the party play ambushing goblins.

Also, here is a link to the pie-chart one of the players put together from their ‘Kill List’:

I don’t know about the rest of you, but my players are very competitive, and keep ‘kill stealing’ to leap ahead; all in a good natured way.
Great stuff!
Your pie-chart of "kills" is hilarious. My 3.5 group was the same way, but in ACKS their encounters are usually so deadly that the players cheer when ANYBODY gets a kill. It's a classic case of the need to work together or die...
My lot are quite good at killing, so long as it’s low level critters. Last night another character killed three in a row thanks to some cleaving, which Ungrid did last week; albeit against lowly goblins. It was a harder fight last night though, chopping down some exploding head goblins that sprayed confusion gas and had Ungrid attacking Idni for a round, almost downing him.
And here is last night’s session notes: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/08/against-the-giants-session-twenty-two/
Poor Corvin got struck down by a trap, but thanks to some healing and magic, he survived and is only suffering from shock.

Poor Corvin keeps going down, but good rolls and good healing have so far prevented his death.
I’m a report behind: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/08/against-the-giants-session-twenty-four/
Monday’s game (session 25) saw Idni finally fall to below 0 hit points, but some good rolling meant he survives to fight another day. They are now in the dungeon of an ancient dwarf ruin, fighting robots.
Monday’s play report: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/08/against-the-giants-session-twenty-five/
Yesterday’s session was all making plans, carousing, buying stuff, and debating taking on cloud giants…
http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/09/against-the-giants-session-twenty-seven/
Monday’s session saw the party of levels 3 & 4 characters take out three cloud giants, and escape with 37,000 gp worth of treasure: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/09/against-the-giants-session-twenty-eight/
Now thats a nice haul!
They were very happy with it
