Goonalan, :shock: What Fosco said. (Aside: these sorts of posts just demonstrate that DMs & players always bring more to the table than any writer or designer.) //H Although without the writer or designer DMs & players wouldn't have have such excellent stages on which to enact their stories...

More! more! Blimey, okay then- a day or two ahead of schedule... The Friday Knights in Sellswords of Fallcrest Part 4: A Dark Cloud gathers. Cathal chews at his beard, Ignaran keeps quiet, a confrontation lies ahead it seems- something the Druid knows very little about, leave it to the experts he t...

The Friday Knights in Sellswords of Fallcrest Part 3: Nature comes to Town. “What we need is a plan.” Ignaran, the Druid, whispers back and clings to the slick tile roof. He’s a little out of his element, although in the elements, he’s soaked to the skin. “We need someone to go take a look.” Cathal ...

The Friday Knights in Sellswords of Fallcrest Chapter 2: Getting wet. Suddenly there’s a hand on his shoulder, Kullervo spins around and straight into the bearded and bristling face of Cathal. “Well, Thief?” Cathal growls and sucks on a tuft of beard. Kullervo shakes his head- he can't do it, doesn'...

The Friday Knights in Sellswords of Fallcrest Chapter 1: At the gate. Kullervo stared at the lock on the gate, then the alley beyond, then eventually behind him, at his two companions, and finally through the mists and rain of the night to the mostly sleeping city that formed the backdrop, all this....

Turn 22. “The stars are beautiful.” A moment away from the narrative to introduce Fandango, for your delectation and gaming pleasure- The stars glitter, she’d never felt so… so… alive. Safe in his arms, twenty-one and in love, beyond love… already. She’d found her soul mate- the man that she would ...

Turn 21. “Shining example of he-Dwarf.” The Sinister Secret of Whiterock. Twiglet returns, with Gina in tow, the golden portals are proving to be quite a conundrum, not the opening as much as to the what happens next, after they’ve been opened- they seem to be trapped, or else something happens- th...

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 36: Just Rewards. The Drow Wizard shimmers for a second and is gone.

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 35: This is the End, My Friend. FWONG A second arrow hurtles past Bec’s left ear. The Fiendish Wolf snarls and leaps at the Barbarian, he leaps aside, reacts quickly, swings and slices, cuts a ugly gash in the creature, i...

Turn 19. “Clear up your mess.” The Sinister Secret of Whiterock. An hour passes, mostly in enforced isolation, then they’re back. “So what qualifications did you say you had?” Fandango, all tight leather armour and Half-Elven Rogue, just delivered from the Drake, “I thought…” She looks at Gina, the...

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 34: Like a Dragon. And ten minutes later, via another dark tunnel, the Goodman Gang emerge into yet another cavern, which appears to be… empty. The floor is dusty, covered with fine rock debris, the west wall glints, more...

Turn 18. “Nothing better than a good old sausage in you.” The Sinister Secret of Whiterock. Everybody, suddenly, takes the strain. The bewildered Paladin is eventually hauled up, back into the waiting arms of Grungarak, who is hanging onto the end of the chain with one hand- like he was born to it....

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 33: Choker in the pack. FWUNG x lots. “Let them have it.” Cas announces. A wave of arrows and bolts smashes into the lead Beetle, and then another. It has a slightly scratched carapace, and that’s your lot, they’ve not go...

Turn 17. “Suckers.” The Sinister Secret of Whiterock. “What is it you spy yonder stout Orc.” Cestode starts up, and is hissed into silence. “Not that.” Gina snaps, thankfully Grungarak hasn’t heard. “Not what- stout? Does he have issues with his size? Some sort of regime may be in order, I try to e...

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 32: The Road is Long. Newt scrambles over to Ala, in a rush, eager to obey the fallen Paladin, checks her pulse “She’s alright, just out-for-the-count.” Cas stands up, an almighty effort, he’s a mess, covered in his own b...

Turn 16. “Dwarves were never meant to dabble in the athletic arts.” The Sinister Secret of Whiterock. “What is it?” Twiglet is quickly to the Gnome. “They… It’s… I mean, who…”, Gina wipes her eyes, sits up, then shuffles over to poke through the rags of one of the dead- the hands warped, fingers tw...

The lights, the noise- blinded, deafened. Eventually the crowd subsides, stop cheering, hollering, screaming. The lights dim, flash bulbs pop but not so frequent. The Professor snakes an arm around Auntie’s shoulders, she’s crying, head down, the emotion has got the better of her. Bertie Bom-Bom str...

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 31: The Diddymen. “Where now?” Newt squeaks and grins. Anya stares at the map; she points the way- “there”, she squeaks back. The adventures head off down the tunnel. Bec is the largest of the Diddymen, or rather people, ...

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 30: Where Badger? Anya screams, “Get out of the way, FIRE.” Cas struggles backwards rats all over him, more bites, he never knew he had so much blood. FWUNG An arrow thumps into his right thigh, he falls to his knees. New...

Turn 15: His beard’s lovely. The Sinister Secret of Whiterock “Helloooo. Helloooo.” Twiglet runs after Cestode, Grungarak and Gina a little behind, they share a look, Gina shrugs up at the Half-Orc. Twiglet’s skipping. Cestode spins around, “I am Cestode…” “I know.” Twiglet slurs, which stops Cesto...

CREEEEEEK The door opens onto their final destination. A haunting sound of a single flute ceases as they enter, the echo of its tune fills the huge chamber beyond- a sorrowful dirge. A series of wooden benches, like in chapel, before a raised dais, atop of which is a comfortable looking throne. Gann...

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 29: Lucky Newt. “Right then we need to look out for the traps.” Newt states the obvious. “So it’s Malchor.” Ala says. “It’s not yet certain.” Cas counters. “What?” “There may be some other explanation- let’s not jump to c...

Dungeon Crawl Classics #11 The Dragonfiend Pact For 2nd Level Characters Turn 28: Well… Well. And so two days later, fully equipped, the adventurers huddle around the Well, looking down. “Dark.” Jim’s on fine form. “Come on then.” Cas proclaims, grabs a rope and ties it around Newt’s waist. The pai...
