Fat Rat Games

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. 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.

Yikes! Session 25 already. If Google’s AI Overview can be trusted, the average TTPRG campaign is 10-20 sessions. Woohoo! We’re above average. Or we’re just slow and don’t get through as much stuff in a session as others do. Hmm…if you’ve been reading the recaps, you can make up your own mind on that. So, last session, there was some resolution to the Shiver Killings…at least in a sense. The party also laid low and also learned a bit more about some of the potential politics going on at the moment after meeting with Captain Vindo of the Sable Company. Darcy and Isabella were heading back to the Old Fishery to the rest of the group as we ended the session. We’ll pick up there after 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.

Things got crazy in the last session. After learning more information from Suria about her past with wild magic and Volshyenek, the party set off to intercept the next Shiver monster. They arrived at the correct location and the victim arrived. A new monster emerged and grew and grew and grew into a giant, Godzilla like creature with a crocodilian head and breathing streams of acid. Panic quickly set in and the creature, which was dubbed Croczilla, began destroying areas of Old Korvosa. The party fled in the panic and did their best to also lure Croczilla away from people. The Sable Company showed up and eventually the Acadamae joined the fight. At that point, all of the characters started to make their way back to the Old Fishery to regroup and join back up with Suria and Elda. We pick up with that below the break.

Although I do not think there are any 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. There are also references to sexual assault and abuse and mistreatment of Suria. As usual, my GM comments are in italics.

In our last session, the party started to discover what has been causing the Shiver Killings and associated monsters to appear. They were led by the Green Lady to her creator, to her mother and grandmother, a young girl and her mother, Elda and Suria respectively. Various information is shared before Suria feels that they need to flee their home as all that she has shared could have easily been overheard by nearby neighbors. Homes in the Shingles do not prioritize privacy in their construction. Meanwhile, Pop was having issues of his own. He had attracted the attention of the Queen’s Guard by mistakenly magically messaging one who was following him. Then he was swept up with Tarquin before being fished out of the Jeggare River by a salvage guy.

The bulk of the party and guests made their way to their current hideout, the Old Fishery. Pop returned to Korvosa from wherever he had been and was fetched by the Green Lady to join the others. We pick up the session from there.

Everyone was in attendance for this session. Although I do not know if there are any 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. There are also references to sexual assault and more general abuse and mistreatment of Suria by yet to be named parties. As usual, my GM comments are in italics.
