Against the Giants: campaign using ACKS

I do this as well, depending on the circumstances. The permanent wounds are brutal enough that nobody  is complaining that I'm a big softie!

This Monday’s session: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/11/against-the-giants-session-thirty-seven/

No kills this time, just a couple of held guards; and we ended with them jumping through the portal to… well, we’ll find out where on Monday.

Looks like I forgot I’d already posted that session :wink: Oops.

Last Monday’s session: http://www.theskyfullofdust.co.uk/2012/11/against-the-giants-session-thirty-eight/

In this session, Corvin got turned into a young red dragon; what consequences this will have is anyone’s guess.

How are you handling Corvin's new "draconic" mentality and personality?

At the moment I’m letting him play it as he wishes, although he can’t speak. I’m waiting for an opportunity to tempt him with something edible or gold that will kindle his dragon-lust.

Skipped a week. Played again tonight, notes to follow sometime between now and New Year.

Last night’s session beautifully showcased the power of the cleave ability, especially when it comes to fighters:

Holy Corvin-saves-the-day, Batman!

Nice carnage :slight_smile:

It was a bloodbath. Now they are off to track down the Hill Giant Chief (the old G1 module): let’s see how a party of level 5/6 characters deal with a bunch of giants :slight_smile:

Last session saw the first deaths of the game, PC ones that is: Zarkov and Halmary petrified by basilisk.

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:
