Fat Rat Games

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. 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.

And the saga continues…

In this session, the party makes good on their escape from the attack on the Gray Maidens, actually take some time to discuss some of the rather obvious changes to their companions, have a prayer answered, sell a soul, and take the attack to–they hope–Rolth Lamm and a potential source of Gray Maiden production. Near the end, things got a bit chaotic and items and/or information of interest was overlooked and Pop was provided a new piercing through his chest and out his back!!! Details below the break.

Having been on the defensive for a number of days (and sessions), the party decides to take the fight to the Gray Maidens in this session. The group decided that they need to find where the Gray Maidens are being “produced” and try to stop it. Unless this can be done, it sounds like the numbers will just continue to increase…not good as the Guard and Sable Company are already losing the civil war in Korvosa. Some scouting and other activities were first and then the party got some first hand experience of the chaos in the streets of Korvosa. Details below the break.

Unlike the last couple of sessions, this session was anything but combat heavy. Instead, we dive into the consequences of the near TPK that we had at the end of the last session. There are some definite Phantom of the Opera vibes, some significant changes for a couple of characters, and some significant changes for Korvosa itself. Many days pass, new friends are made, and old friends (or at least allies) are contacted again. Details are all below the break.

At the start of the session, I did take some time to ask the players how “big” did they want the consequences to be following their near TPK…both for their individual characters and for the campaign as a whole. Overall, the group felt like there should be some significant changes but nothing so dramatic that it would completely change the campaign…at most, a 7 out of 10 on scale of change. The players did not want their characters to be changed too significantly by their near death experience with a couple of exceptions. Both John and RJ plan on having their characters “transformed” by the recent events. Everyone else will likely have their characters look at the world a bit differently.

Everyone was in attendance and every character was either unconscious or had gone missing in the prior session.

The more combat heavy set of sessions continues in this session. After facing off against some Red Mantis assassins on the streets of Korvosa and at the Old Fishery, the group found a new hideout in a nearby abandoned warehouse. Pop nearly killed himself by trying on one of the Red Mantis helmets…narrowly spared by Aimar’s healing. And then a rather large undead creature came crashing through the roof of the new hideout seeking revenge! This last combat took longer than anticipated so we stopped the session right after a round where Darcy got a joker for initiative. We pick up with the fight after the break.

Adam had to miss this session and so Aimar had to suddenly “disappear” from the combat.
