'''Continued From [[Session 10: Bugs and Slugs, Oh My!]]'''

==[https://tao-dnd.blogspot.com/2026/06/session-11-death-in-family.html Original Page]==

This session began with the players retreating from the dungeon to heal their wounds and restock themselves. Lexent the cleric had reached 5th at the end of the [[Session 10: Bugs and Slugs, Oh My!|last session]] and so obtained his henchfolk Matyas, whom he'd rolled up for the first running of this campaign only to reveal later that he was wondering about his former cleric from the previous campaign I'd ended before Covid. We'd agreed then that when Lexent reached 5th, he could take Matyas into the party, and so that had come to pass.

Pandred lent a handaxe to Ti, who had broken just about all his weapons, and I believe it was on the 12th of June, two days after leaving the dungeon, that the party returned. Because a player could not make this running, Zoltan and Edvard sat this out, along with the two Croatians and a centaur named Xerxes, who is looking after the party on account of his tribe, so that should anything happen on the outside, the party would receive warning.

Because Ti is so short of weapons, specifically the scimitar that he broke, I suggested the party might take on a small Ottoman encampment of about twenty soldiers, which Xerxes identified as being about four miles away; there would be lots of scimitars there, the centaur said. The party declined, though I had designed the encampment for the running. I won't post it here, because the party didn't go, and I might yet use it. Alas, it is again a spider casting webs to the wind.

The whole running took place thereafter upon this one stretch of hall, so that the players didn't actually do that much exploring:

[https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqkmqVkwgTT1etW-K0u0XOtN2ZQB5fNn0ec8Ra9-_S08vn9RqrUT42aa_1qC8kucFUxeMogYqraEuM8YHs0xHtYm9RDVWGNCNVSXvXLpVqd-fTU9PeWw8sMyL4XEzMobwLKPkFUChxBz4St8ghAsOOIpoeHDbp6jKdGhL_fCUEQ1vyaMRgS_n4g10HnZId/s3703/Trog%20Lair.jpg Troglodyte Lair]

This is where things were at the end of the game, with the party in full flight from the troglodytes, except for Matyas, who was at -8 hit points, unconscious and effectively unreachable.

For reasons that passeth all understanding, the party decided to recheck the toilets on the left side of the map, specifically that round "urination hole," where again I rolled a wandering monster check, getting a "1," then rolling 1d4 carrion crawlers to emerge from there, as I had the first time in the last session. And like the first time, I got two. If I'd rolled three or four, several members of the party, including the 5th level fighter Pandred. If I had rolled that many, they'd have never reached the trogs.

Just as the carrion crawler fight began, Ti the 4th level fighter had to excuse himself for a family issue and thus the party lost one of their defensive pillars. Pandred and I believe Mikael were soon paralysed and the rest of the party struggled hard to kill one, then the other of the two creatures. Matyas proved to be a piledriver, though, so that the party managed to get out of that scrape. The paralysed players recovered, the party issued some healing and they went forward.

[https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4S1Tz5e74J5m3dtiiFyarEhNdTdxo15nXWbdGS3QTf5qgTlgLImM-Fo2pTod9msxR3NCN0PuMu7ViDv_SHlv-dBbeIcVZ_rX6x3vr55Y7FaFLUQBwt_XC-UfDsnemIYPK8V57ovH72s8T5TAQxFQS63u-FJMeNEo2QPEHFNhYowck-KBZ02Fokv9kwW6d/s689/Corner.jpg Held Troglodytes]

Then, I would say the party had some bad luck by having too much good luck right off. At this corner, behind 2712, the party encountered three waiting troglodytes, two of which were quickly "held" by the cleric for nine rounds. The purple fat number "1" shows how many rounds were left on the spell, before the spell would have worn off. With one trogloydyte left, another came out of the dark and the party easily managed them both. Another single one came the next round and again, the party managed it, moving forward as they did. It all looked so easy. Two more came after, and the party was fine, smacking one of them right off.

But then three more came and it all started to fall apart. The party's "line" had spread out too thin by that point, where the three corridors above formed a large open space. The very next round, five troglodytes came on and the party did not do well for two rounds... which was enough to turn the tide against them. Soon, they realised they'd have to run to preserve their lives... but the [https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Stun_Lock stun lock] rule seemed to imprison at least one of the party every round, so that if the others ran, the one left behind would certainly be mauled by as many as five or six troglodytes. Yet, they could not manage a round where no party member was stunned... and that when the time came to make a tough decision.

Matyas had been doing very well, but even so, he was getting hit way too much for a first level fighter. He was driven down to -4 hit points when his liege Lexent managed to give him [https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Aid_(spell) Aid], restoring 17 hit points. Alas, it wasn't enough. Matyas continued to get hit, while the overall strength of the party continued to dwindle as the intense odour of the Troglydytes sapped the party of their strength.

This part was particularly interesting. Every member of the party failed their saving throw against the noxious odour; Mikael managed to preserve Pandred, the party's lynchpin, by bestowing "[https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Freshen_(cantrip) Freshen]," upon him, taking advantage of my rewrite of that cantrip. It meant Pandred wasn't suffering from strength loss, but everyone else was.

And this was particularly fascinating, as my [https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Encumbrance encumbrance rules] are built in such a way that the amount a character can carry and how many [https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Action_Points actions] they can take in a round depend very much on strength. So as their strength dwindled, their encumbrance issues grew, as the stuff on the party's backs began to weigh them down more and more. The players were using, I believe (because I'm not using it) a system built by Maxwell, commentor on the blog here, to calculate their encumbrance in an ongoing fashion, so they could tell when they had lost a point of movement because of the strength loss. At the point when the party did have to run, lasting one more round for Pandred to escape being stunned and coming to terms with the reality that Matyas would have to be left, everyone was down in their movement. Thankfully, however, the [https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Movement_(stride) stride rules] enabled them to run fast enough, while the troglodytes themselves were all wounded.

All the orange numbers on the troglodytes, shown on the battle map? That's their present hit points. Every trog with a number has been hit at least once. The freeing of those two that were held would mean two more trogs that hadn't been hit yet, so things were looking awfully dire. Each trog here had 2 HD, but as they weighed more than 290 lbs. (trogs in my game are big and meaty), they had 2d4 [https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Hit_Points_per_Die per hit die]. With them having a minimum of 4 hit points, the party was beginning to feel how hard they were to kill, even for low-level humanoids.

So that was it. Lexent rolled up a new hench, managed to get another 1st level fighter, a dwarf now, again with an 18 strength, and will roll that character out with the next running. Hopefully, Ti and Zoltan will be back and the party will be more buff and ready to take those hobgoblins on again. Assuming they don't clear out and seek another lair, given that this one's been compromised. I tend to do that, because it punishes parties who don't hang in there and see the thing to the end before retreating. But, knowing what I know about these trogs, that's not all that unlikely. This was just the front group, and the party only killed about half a dozen of them. Hardly enough to think the trogs need to run away.

The above is the "troglodyte lair" that the party investigated last Friday, with dotted line beginning at the mid-left and moving around through numbers 1 through 7. White indicates traversable space, grey the walls that were identified and black equals unknown. Thus in the bottom right corner, where black cuts across the white space, that isn't a wall, that's just as far as the party's torches was able to reveal. The gray smattering about the area is "rubble." The party's last position is shown on the map; an enlarged version of that is given below.

The constructing occupants, orcs, abandoned this catacomb 400 years ago, due to dwindling population and, likely, genetic issues, not that a 13th century orc could have understood the latter as anything except a lot of stillbirths and monsters from inbred parents who can't seem to produce healthy children. Even orcs must obey the laws of DNA.

The party fought (1) two giant ticks [AC 4,1 HD,#AT 1,D 1-4] and [AC 3,2 HD,#AT 1,D 1-4, blood drain]; (2) three giant centipedes [AC 8,1/4 HD,#AT 1,D 1, poison]; (3) two giant cockroaches [AC 5,1 HD,#AT 1,D 1-6]; (4) two more centipedes; (5) eleven giant cockroaches; (6) one carrion crawler [AC 5,4+1 HD,#AT 8,D 1-3]; and then (7) two more carrion crawlers. I took a screenshot of that last before the combat started.

[https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjukcyePwDlq1oxXWoPzDGS4LHZSMMn5CqDhRRLTAdqwfJGlGCIZ7nfx6JcMFSfoniXbPU_HV6hyphenhyphen-Kr9Bl0wRdsAOBaF96Foqzx-jXAVI3AHpfSawnLT9lBEqdfM6esdZSU5J5tqRxfaPcSJtbq2vCFUAu6e-7__82FlLMFucl7DMhq_-rYh5cpGutVpdZ0/s1077/Crawlers.jpg Crawlers]

The party had been game to fight everything up to this point, but their hit points were being winnowed down and at the sight of the two crawlers, they decided, after a lot of resistance, to give it up and withdraw. Pandred did not withdraw far enough, however, and got caught in an attack; worse, he was paralysed by that attack. So the party changed their minds and rushed forward to save him.

[https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIF6n8Z_cz7oMkL5VF3lpNfrj_gXMIF86a6uMA1cDNLBGNN-f0V6lHVJAqOhbg15kGXt7gnU8PjKgZX0s6jj4SQi-W2dWZDl4bprBv_L0Nf3S9liQpC9eo9ZVL9MmC8eP5JGHK8LaZiJ37w3G1l97aiF2pcfnwQs4KQPSWntfx4IWNYGvH5gl-kOVlV1N0/s1182/Last%20Position.jpg Fleeing]

Before the battle was over, Pandred had been dragged by Edvard down from 1417, where he was stunned, to his position after. Zoltan had been paralysed also. Arduin the druid had succeeded in lighting up the two crawlers with faerie fire and Ti had drunk a super-heroism potion that elevated him to 8th level. He was able to clock the one crawler but he has been repeatedly dropping and breaking weapons since they left Budapest, so that he was fighting hand to hand with a javelin at the end here (rolling to see if it would break after every attack). It did break before the other crawler was killed, but Arduin and Lexent, with help from Mikael's good dart throwing, were able to succeed in ridding the world of that one also.
The words "3 load" refers to three rounds loading a heavy crossbow, which Oddsdrakken could do but he could not fire it; Edvard took a shot but missed with it. A hit might have done the crawler in, as heavy crossbows in my game do 2d6+1 damage (3-13).

Earlier, when fighting the 11 cockroaches, five of them had swarmed onto Pandred (I allow up to eight attacks on a hex by small swarming creatures, and giant cockroaches are just 40 lbs.), causing 26 damage including one crit that did 12. This was enough to cause even the rollicking 5th level to slow down... but I think the two carrion crawlers at last taught the party a little humility. Either run away clean or get on with it. They dithered trying to decide and it almost got Pandred killed.

I think, except for that one cockroach hit, that it was one of my worst nights for die rolling, ever. I rolled only one critical the whole night, through all the fights, while with the first carrion crawler I managed to hit only twice in 13 rolls. Egregious!

Zoltan, after all the experience from the different creatures — there was no treasure for the night — went up a level to fourth. He'd missed a running so it took him, again, eight runnings to climb from 1st to 4th. That even though he needed less than Ti the running before (Ti is a fighter), the experience system awards fighting... so fighters usually just make more experience during combats.

Lexent went up to fifth level and got the henchman that he had rolled initially when he joined the game in the 1st session, back in February. That was from the player not realizing that he could import his character from the old Juvenis campaign where he had run Lexent in Norway. I had not realising the two were the same player... the internet, nyet?

Anyway, I let the player put Matyas down until Lexent got to 5th, and then he could have Matyas as his henchfolk. The rest of the party all got a lot closer to their next level, doing pretty well. And even though it was just little fights, they declared the game to be very successful because it just felt like the fights folded one onto the other in a rational, reasonable way, so that it wasn't, "Oh my God, we have to fight another group of bugs!" It was more along the lines of searching the well and finding that it had centipedes in it, and searching the bench and finding there were cockroaches under it, in the manner of one long fight. The party was also impressed at the size of the dungeon as they roamed through it; they have not explored it all, as the map above shows.

The game is supposed to end at 11 p.m. Eastern. We ran 40 minutes overtime to finish off the two carrion crawler attack.

'''Continued From [[Session 8: "I Love More"]]'''

==[https://tao-dnd.blogspot.com/2026/06/session-9-slaughter-room.html Original Page]==

I find these posts hard to write, which is why it's five days since our last running and I'm only detailing it now.

Our [[Session 8: "I Love More"|previous]] session left the party in the wilderness, running short on food, puzzling out how to cross the border into Hungary, having learned they'd been betrayed by someone, not knowing who. This session began with the party being caught off guard by a group of centaur archers, partisans protecting the local Hungarian peasantry from the Ottomans, acting as nomads throughout the Balaton Hills. After learning of the party's wishes to escape, the centaurs agreed to help feed and get them out of Bakony... but the centaurs could not help noticing the armoured members of the party and the presence of their gnome cleric Lexent.

They asked if the party wouldn't mind dealing with a nuisance that has plagued them for some time. A group of troglodytes, operating from an underground lair, inaccessible to their hoofed bodies. This "lair" was once built by orcish Huns who found themselves dwelling in the wilderness after the retreat of Attila (also an orc in my campaign). Thus, the orcs tunnelled, fashioning an underground dungeon that they occupied for 800 years... until 400 years ago, after some left to join the Mongols in the 1240s (again, an orcish people, though larger than orcs), the overall social system collapsed. It had been abandoned, until troglodytes either came up from below or entered from above. Either way, the trogs have been raiding and when the centaurs have tracked them back to their origin, they've found the trogs delving down into a place they can't follow.

The party agreed. I'd set up the first encounter expecting only three players, as Mikael the mage and Zoltan the cleric had both excused themselves from the session. Yet then Mikael showed up for the first two hours of the session, so we had a good number of combatants at the ready. This was the basic scene of the first occupied room the party entered:

[https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqHMYvzfk4xktbJbgNj2di7zJXC9SCtGArx_hjuN7qGUTy1wInDfy0fIVm1xIzXfXxvhKmD5y2ekiEqfJGqjGWhlaOghg65Kr-WXmIpGaE3GSjUuEBzfXTzCMW40-Bdngr5K9Q69kRdVvJynv9d0P8ZIKLaKw1Q_mG-QBF4zmdKQrksLBzbtzDPsyYRqM/s1448/Slaughter%20Room.png Slaughter Room]

This, once upon a time a place where the orc hunting parties would bring in scores of deer and other beasts for slaughter, consisted of drains, tubs, rings for hanging the animals up and so on. Obviously, the blood stains had long turned to dust in 400 years but the players figured out the purpose.

As they entered, they found one huge spider in the large centre room. This they killed in short order. Examining the room on the upper right, they found eight giant bats asleep. They moved down through the other rooms toward the exit at the bottom of the map, where they found a shrieker... which promptly began to scream, waking up the bats. A round later, three more spiders entered the room. One landed a solid bite upon Ti, the fighter, who began to suffer poison damage to the tune of 16 points, 2 per round over the next eight rounds. While fighting the bats and spiders (the former were not very dangerous), a carrion crawler entered from the bottom, passing the shrieker... and caught the Lexent's non-levelled soldier at arms as the first victim inside the door. The crawler attacked eight times... and missed every time. I mean, damn. If you can't kill a non-level, why even play?

Fenwick failed his morale check and fled. Outside, he failed his rally check and decided to stay outside. He'd managed to get 160 experience, however, putting him halfway to being able to start his 1st level fighter training, if the party should so desire.

Well, Ti came up, waded in, took two hits, did a little damage (I think, not sure if I remember that rightly) failed his save and was paralysed. But then Mikael unloaded Melf's acid arrow and the carrion crawler died. I should have made it two, but meh, it was what it was. I didn't know Mikael was going to play.

The spiders, bats and shrieker was mopped up and the party given experience. Arduin the first level druid, henchfolk of Pandred the 5th level fighter, finally reached second level. Mikael excused himself and the party was down to three players.

I should have had more prepared but, well, I let myself indulge in too many of my own projects, so I didn't. I had the party descend twenty feet of stair (finding a dead centaur's body along the way), to find more stairs, some going left, some going right. The cleric smelled both and declared that the left hand side smelled worse than the right, so expecting to find the troglodytes, they descended another 20 feet of stairs to find themselves at an unimaginably large underground temple, too large to reveal with their torchlight. Following the right hand wall, they found one shrine in the room's corner, then followed the wall to the left to find another shrine. They were attacked by three ghasts (which some of the party had fought before in Norway) and dispatched them easily. The next four were a little harder... Ti was paralysed again, Arduin was very lucky, but this second fight was a harder deal. Finally, the ghasts were overcome, experience rewarded, Ti went up to 4th level and the party gave ground. We ended the game with them stumbling outside.

I'll need to better prep my dungeon for the next session.

Skipping over the first session, in which the two did not take part, Pandred at 5th and Lexent at 4th have failed to level... though they're both much closer. Ti began at 1st nine sessions ago and has gone up 3 levels in nine runnings. If Zoltan had come, no doubt he'd have gotten to 4th as well. Mikael, who isn't getting hit very much (because although he's killing key monsters with his magic, if he doesn't actually engage in melee, he hasn't much chance of learning anything), is still 3rd, though he started at 2nd. Arduin has waded into many combats, but strangely, has usually avoided getting hit. Nice to see him finally climb from 1st to 2nd.

The benefit of Fenwick getting to be a 1st level fighter (though it will take plenty of training time) is that, if the party subsidises his training, he'll progress from "hireling" to "follower." Not a henchfolk, so not a fanatic member of the party that the players run, but someone who will come along, receive half as share of the bonus, ask for a share of the treasure and eventually rise, most likely, to act as a steward or someone the party can trust with their property someday, without worrying about being betrayed. He might even one day be counted as one of the party's "retainers," at which point he would become a fanatic joiner of the party, to be run by whomever his liege came to be, either Lexent or perhaps Pandred, as the party decides someday.

Well, that seems to be it. Glad to have this done.

 Zoltan, after all the experience from the different creatures — there was no treasure for the night — went up a level to fourth. He'd missed a running so it took him, again, eight runnings to climb from 1st to 4th. That even though he needed less than Ti the running before (Ti is a fighter), the experience system awards fighting... so fighters usually just make more experience during combats.
-Lexent went up to fifth level and got the henchman that he had rolled initially when he joined the game in the 1st session, back in February.

I had not realising the two were the same player... the internet, nyet?
 Anyway, I let the player put Matyas down until Lexent got to 5th, and then he could have Matyas as his henchfolk. The rest of the party all got a lot closer to their next level, doing pretty well. And even though it was just little fights, they declared the game to be very successful because it just felt like the fights folded one onto the other in a rational, reasonable way, so that it wasn't, "Oh my God, we have to fight another group of bugs!" It was more along the lines of searching the well and finding that it had centipedes in it, and searching the bench and finding there were cockroaches under it, in the manner of one long fight. The party was also impressed at the size of the dungeon as they roamed through it; they have not explored it all, as the map above shows.

 I find these posts hard to write, which is why it's five days since our last running and I'm only detailing it now.
-Our [[Session 8: "I Love More"|previous]] session left the party in the wilderness, running short on food, puzzling out how to cross the border into Hungary, having learned they'd been betrayed by someone, not knowing who. This session began with the party being caught off guard by a group of centaur archers, partisans protecting the local Hungarian peasantry from the Ottomans, acting as nomads throughout the Balaton Hills. After learning of the party's wishes to escape, the centaurs agreed to help feed and get them out of Bakony... but the centaurs could not help noticing the armoured members of the party and the presence of their gnome cleric Lexent.

 They asked if the party wouldn't mind dealing with a nuisance that has plagued them for some time. A group of troglodytes, operating from an underground lair, inaccessible to their hoofed bodies. This "lair" was once built by orcish Huns who found themselves dwelling in the wilderness after the retreat of Attila (also an orc in my campaign). Thus, the orcs tunnelled, fashioning an underground dungeon that they occupied for 800 years... until 400 years ago, after some left to join the Mongols in the 1240s (again, an orcish people, though larger than orcs), the overall social system collapsed. It had been abandoned, until troglodytes either came up from below or entered from above. Either way, the trogs have been raiding and when the centaurs have tracked them back to their origin, they've found the trogs delving down into a place they can't follow.
