Here is the write-up from our eighth session with our Beginner Box Hack (from Todd).

Spoiler Alert: Even though the party has largely finished the module and we’ve gone off the rails, there are still spoilers for Fangs from the Past, published by 0one Games, below. My GM comments, as always, are in [italics and brackets] as usual.

[When we last left the party, they had just fought a tough battle with a group of kobolds and a rather young black dragon named Syphilaxisisss. The kobold chief, in fact, was responsible for dropping the dragon by dropping one of the many kobold hanging traps upon it. With his victory, the kobold hissed at the party but none were sure if this was just to celebrate his victory over Syphilaxisisss or intended as aggression towards the party (or maybe both).]

Here is the write-up from our seventh session with our Beginner Box Hack (from RJ).

Spoiler Alert: Even though the party has largely finished the module, they are still wrapping up some loose threads from Fangs from the Past published by 0one Games. My GM comments, as always, are in [italics and brackets] as usual.

[When we last left the party, they had been woken by some attacking goblins. After dispatching all but one of the raiding goblins, they were able to learn a bit more about why the goblins had been more active in the area. The prisoner, however, seemed pretty fixated on getting his next meal…be it a bite out of Lemer, Dent, or even the body of one if its fallen companions…and they killed the vermin.]

Here is the write-up from our sixth session with our Beginner Box Hack (from Bridgett).

Spoiler Alert: Even though the party is heading back to town following their recent adventures, there are still spoilers for the adventure Fangs from the Past published by 0one Games. My GM comments, as always, are in [italics and brackets] as usual.

[When we last left the party, they had been woken a bit early from their night’s rest by Aaron. He had heard a scream, relatively faint and high-pitched, and everyone had rushed to investigate. Shadow was in the lead with Aurora and Lemer just behind her and Aaron (in his armor since he was on watch) and Dent lagging farther behind. Shadow had found a camp with about a dozen loggers. They had a goblin tied up and hanging from some trees and one of the loggers was in the process of torturing the little nasty. The screams were from the goblin.]

Here is the write-up from our fifth session with our Beginner Box Hack (from Rachel). Austin is not going to be able to play for awhile due to family and work commitments so Remel has been replaced with Lemer (still an elven wizard but, as Todd put it, with a little more backbone). Lemer is going to basically be a “group character” and played by whoever wants to in any given session.

Here is the write-up from our fourth session with our Beginner Box Hack (from Austin). We finally had a full compliment of players as both Bridgett and RJ joined us for the first time, I think, in at least a month. Bridgett rolled up Shadow, a female elven ranger (it is soooo unlike her to play a ranger). RJ rolled up Dent, a male dwarven fighter.

We had a bit of a snafu with our campaign journal after the last session…as in no one did it. It was well over a week later when RJ took it on to make sure we’d have one. Got to give him kudos for this…particularly since he was playing Todd’s character, Aaron, since Todd was missing AND RJ hadn’t been around for the prior two sessions of this adventure. So, everyone (except me, of course) should cut him some slack for this entry.

Spoiler Alert: There are spoilers for the adventure Fangs from the Past published by 0one Games. As is our typical pattern, the module is not getting run quite as written but there are still big spoilers for it below the break. My GM comments, as always, are in [italics and brackets] as usual.

[When we last left the party, they had recently arrived at a cave on the outskirts of an old ruined village. Partially filled with water from the nearby swamp, the cave contained a lone skeleton against the back wall. As Aaron carefully and cautiously approached it, Theoden slung a bullet at it and knocked it over…]

Here is the writeup (from Todd) of our second session in our Pathfinder Beginner Box Hack mini-campaign. Spoiler Alert: There are spoilers for the adventure Fangs from the Past published by 0one Games. As is our typical pattern, the module is not getting run quite as written but there are still big spoilers for it below the break. My GM comments, as always, are in [italics and brackets] as usual.

[When we last left the party, they had recently arrived in the frontier village of Willoweed after having discovered the body of one of the local loggers about an hour out of the village. They learned from some other loggers that other attacks had happened over the last few weeks. When we ended, Aurora had just spotted her mother in the growing crowd of locals descending upon the village center. She was in tears and someone whispered to Aurora that her father had been the first victim killed two weeks earlier…]
