Savage Korvosa Session 35

Posted on by daHeadRat / 0 Comment

Lamm escapes, Lamm plays innocent, Lamm proves again how horrible he can be. Introductions are made and Dr. Kasensius shares his love of Osirion, Korvosa, and the Queen. Illegal dumping in the bay. Suicide and a planned victory parade. All these things and more came up during this session. This session was almost three weeks ago (as I write this) so details might be a bit hazy. Hazy details below the break.

Everyone was in attendance. Although I do not think there are any specific spoilers for elements of the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path, there are potential spoilers regarding some of the movers and shakers of Korvosa. As usual, my GM comments are in italics.

Ugh…wet dreams, a rejuvenating harpy, kid goats, a nasty dwarf, and black goo all take center stage at one point or another during this session. The party continues their exploration of the Bleak Mountains and climb up Mount Mourn to try to learn more about the happenings in the area. Are they successful? I guess we’ll find out below the break. Markus, of course, continues with his NSFW behaviors.

Everyone was in attendance. There will, obviously, be spoilers for Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow from The Merry Mushmen along with our mangling of this very fine adventure. My GM comments, as always, are in italics.

Still beneath the Hospice of the Divine Matron, the party continues their attack, achieve a great prize (at least for Pop), speak with the dead, rescue some prisoners, and receive some GM mercy whether they realized or not. A little confusion about the goal of the attack popped up and it looks like we’ll be back to talky talky discussions in the next session. Details below the break as we pick up with the party having come upon three women sleeping in coffins in a crypt…ones who seemed quite keen on killing, eating, or converting various members of the group.

Everyone was in attendance, although Adam had to depart early for work.

Demolition, shoe sizing, sleet storms, a pig indirectly threatened, a mother, and bears (sort of)..oh my! The group finished up their exploration Windler House this session. They then decided to head out and explore the Bleak Mountains a bit, specifically taking the Perilous Path. A deal was made, a proposition refused, and some barter conducted. Details below the break.

Lights! Camera! Action! Yes, there was some action in this session after a string of mostly discussion sessions. There was still discussion, but the group did start to take the fight to the Gray Maidens by accessing the area below the Hospice of the Divine Matron. But, before that happened, they also had to divvy up loot and do some more planning. After multiple sessions taking place on the same day, time advanced a good bit more quickly in this session.

Jen had to miss this session so Isabella spent much of the time keeping guard on Rolth Lamm.

Cookies! Cookies are turning into quite the commodity in the campaign. Markus was actually relatively well-behaved this session…at least he didn’t pull the party into yet another side quest related to his libido. The Windler House was explored a bit more and a new ally finally showed up. Ansel showed up. He’s another resident of Ragged Hollow and was on Halloo with the others. He wasn’t able to return with the others because his wizard mentor wanted a little more time to teach Ansel another spell.

Yes, we have a new player joining us in this session. Pete is playing Ansel, a wizard. On his way back to Ragged Hollow, he heard a good bit about Markus and his, um, exploits. Getting to Ragged Hollow, it was quickly apparent that something was terribly wrong and Ansel was quickly directed to catch up with Dieter, Liesl, and Marlena as they were looking into what was going on. Since one of Ansel’s talents was an extra spell and he was joining mid-campaign, having Ansel delayed in returning from Halloo kind of worked. Plus, it got him up to speed on that ne’er-do-well Markus!

Jackpot! The party discovered a cache of treasure left behind by the smuggler who once resided in Rose Point Manor. Additionally, they took some time to learn about the items found in the Shoanti tomb prior to the near TPK a few sessions ago and those taken from Lamm. Oh, and talk planning on what to do next continued (and continued) and a good bit of discussion on how to divvy up the loot. As a result, this is going to be a rather short journal since I’m not going to go into detail regarding all of the magic items the party has found.

Everyone was in attendance, but Jen had to bow out early AND before the loot was divvied up.

The questioning of Rolth Lamm continues and he continues to be cooperative…in a somewhat disturbing fashion. Additional players in the Queen’s “coup” are identified. Plans are discussed for drawing the Queen out of Castle Korvosa. Gray Maidens under the control of the party are created!!! Lieutenant Divo is informed of new information and plans. Details below the break.

Markus learns of his doom (again). The night sky is lit up by a meteor shower. Radomir summarizes. A new friend who loves to clean is gained. Infidelity leads to a new “enemy” and a loss of a boat. A return to the Windler House and laughing children. All this and (a bit) more happened in our most recent session. Oh, and of course, time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’…into the future, Details below the break.

Rolth Lamm caught! That is the big event of this last session. The party also acquired some new items, learned quite a bit about the Gray Maidens and their construction, and got to interrogate a psychopath in the sewers of Korvosa. They established a number of goals for how they want to proceed and started to formulate a plan for what comes next. They are starting to take the reins of proactivity rather than letting the Queen and the Gray Maidens dictate where things are going. But it all seems to hinge on trusting the psychopath to do his part. Details below the break.

Everyone was in attendance, but Adam had to hop off a bit early.
