Session 78 - Death Frost Descent

One minor bit of news - the game on Tuesday 16th is cancelled because I'm in Las Vegas. Such a difficult life!

Other than that, see you next week!


Session 78 - Death Frost Descent

- A talking skeletal head
Total: 10 exp

Exploration:

- Surprisingly little.
Total: 0 exp

Events:

- Meanwhile back at the black fortress... our intrepid party have spent the previous session off-screen escaping the fortress. As they pass the skinned corpses of some reindeer and reach the treeline they join up with a few others. (50 exp)
- Battered and bleeding, the decision is made to try and climb up the side of the mountain to the spooky cabin to try and get some sleep. (50 exp)
- Armed with crampons and Jane Doe's tentacle rope, Stabbington scales the mountain. He is loud and obvious and attracts the attention of a zombie at the top who's just sort of chilling. (50 exp)
- The zombie yells and Stabbington yells back before charging in and killing it. Meanwhile the rest of the party climb up behind. (50 exp)
- The black gates creak open and armies of the damned begin to pour out, supplemented by skin bags floating out of holes above. (50 exp)
- Despite fighting bravely, Zan using a tree limb to wrap skin bags like a horrible candy floss, and and the combat-testing of Jane Doe's new oil blasting flame sword contraption, there are too many of them and they keep coming. (50 exp)
- Jumurak eats a crit and has his clothes and armour torn off by a skin kite. Sparky trick-shots a snowball at the mountain's peak and starts an avalanche, it's time to go! (50 exp)
- Descent from the cliff is achieved via many means, including the normal climb-down-the-rope option but also by using grabbed skin kites as parachutes. Above, the avalanche crushes any undead outside the main doors. (50 exp)
- At ground level the party jog off the path to eat something and recuperate in the woods, hopefully out of sight. (50 exp)
- Grunting is heard from the road, a big bull of a man in necromancer robes is dragging himself up towards the black fortress. Sparky investigates and sees a strange crossbow bolt lodged in his spine, then gets stage fright and gets others to talk to him. (50 exp)
- The man gives some information about how the people guarding the mountain are being picked off, then breathes his last breath into a glass vial and stoppers it. This is immediately nicked. (50 exp)
- Continuing down the mountain path, the party comes across crude wooden cages which have been knocked over. The skin bags that were trapped within attack but are dispatched fairly easily. (50 exp)
- A weird crossbow bolt affixed with a message saying "Good luck, Sir Three-Eyes and friends" lands in the midst of the group. This is immediately nicked. (50 exp)
- Further down the path, the party is fired upon by a skeleton hanging in a tree. Sparky slices its legs off with a snowball trick shot and it is looted, including its brass-nostrilled head. (50 exp)
- Continuing on and hoping for a rest stop, another Necromancer is found leaning against a wooden cage. He gives some info about the people who killed him and points out his campsite, but laments his lack of glass vial to catch his last breath. (50 exp)
- Zan whips out the recently stolen skull and lets him breath his last breath into it, creating a talking skull with the guy's soul in it. He's very grateful and I enjoy this gimmick immensely. (50 exp)
- The necromancer campsite is reached and the party finally get a chance to rest. For now. (50 exp)
Total: 850 exp

- Antagonist Appeaser bonus (50 exp)
