Great googily moogily, what the bloody hell have I walked in on?!?

Got back from DnD, had some dinner, come to report back and here there’s some raucous going on! Yikes!!

 

Anyway, we welcomed a new player to the group this evening. A co-worker of Damian’s who hasn’t played DnD before, but watched Critical Roll.

I will refer to this person from here-on in as K. K did well for a first timer, really got into the game, was an enthusiastic participant.

We had good fun as a somewhat mixed band of miscreants, who worked to rescued a young stable-hand, Larch, from a group of brothers. It just so happened that Larch’s brother was a powerful member of a local magical order, somewhat feared by the local oppressed populace.

The party consisted of my Not-Twilight Knight fighter, a Tiefling Warlock Hex-Blade, a Cleric Of Asmodeus and a Blue Dragonborn bard.

Not exactly “shining heroes all”…

We were quite successful. We arrived in time to rescue the lad before he was killed. We overpowered the four angry siblings. They were following the instruction of some blustery, wind-magic loving acolyte. I managed to one-shot an angry, glowing eyed, magic falcon summoned from the elemental plain of air with a thrown hand-axe.

Steve’s evil cleric sniped the air acolyte’s magic balloon as he tried to make his escape, he plummeted to his squishy death.

I should add that my dice rolls most of the night were abysmal, I actually only rolled one result that was double digits. Every other roll was lower than 9. It was a little embarrassing, especially for a fighter that didn’t actually hit anybody in combat (until I hit a bird in mid-flight). It wasn’t that my character wasn’t hitting, it was just that he was studying his opponents tactics, learning his methods and patterns before he struck. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it! ?

Now Damian has to work K into our regular story, though he has plans on how. This should be interesting!
