As a quick rundown of them, I'd like to say that they have very little experience with rpgs and that they are very hip and stylish people.
We play in my Setting Dies Irae, I'd like them to explore the Observatory at some point.
Session one
Fuck, I really hate first sessions with noobs. Nobody knows what they're doing, you have to divide your attention between five people, some understand faster than others, aaaaghhghg.
Whatever. We did it, took an hour or so. That's why I love b/x. fuck rules. fuck wasting time with character creation. Julia (a player of mine) said she likes more detailed character creation, but nah.
The curtain rises for:
Nagga, the Kroakling Specialist, played by Till
Mei, the Woodelf Fighter, played by Julia
Gekko, the Lizardman Magic User played by Ceco
Eine Frau (ger. transl.: a Woman), the Tiefling Specialist, played by Alina
Okay. I hope you excuse that I maybe don't remember some things, because that session happed maybe three weeks ago. Whatever.
I started it off with them being drugged by Dickerle, a short, pignosed, blonde asshole who promised them some awesome loot.
Yes I forgot his name, I don't care, they sacrifized him to an evil fountain.
He dragged their asses into a wood with the help of Fink, some mercenary/adventurer dude with half his face missing. He had a lovely attitude.
Dickerle found a magical fountain in the woods, but couldn't determine what the fountain does. He only found out that sacrifising a person would trigger the magical effect.
Well, with the world ending in two years, he really didn't see anything wrong with just fucking finding out what happens.
So he drugged up some useless adventurer looking motherfuckers and paid another to drag their asses up there. They woke up and were hella pissed.
They negotiated, tried to find out what the fuck is happening, played cards with Fink and then fucking tackled the shit out of him. Some lucky dicerolls later they stole his sword, Gekko got blasted with a magic missile by Dickerle because he kicked his shin before, but the missile only did 2 damage.
two damage to a MU, though.
Alright, they found the ground plan of an old building made of stone, sitting near a river. Has been a fortress a long time ago, they think. in the middle of this ground plan sits a decorative fountain, spewing black, gooey water. Dickerle was ugly-crying, begging them to spare him. I gotta tell you, these dudes aren't nice people. I mean, shit, they loved Fink but still sacrifized both. Fucking assholes.
They put him into the fountain and slit his throat. He keeled over and lied there, while the fountain stopped spewing water. He started bubbling and dissolving, like a fizzy tablet filled with bones and guts. The well water thickened to a black, shiny resin and a minute later, a grimy creature pressed itself out of the fountain.
Mei killed Dickerle, so she made a save vs. magic and gained loyalty of the now newborn Orc. They were delighted and started eyeing Fink very jealously. Gekko took the opportunity and murdered him, spawning another Orc for himself. He saved against magic and like Mei he gained control over his new slimy boi. RIP Fink I really liked you as an NPC.
So now what? They got some Orcs, but what now? They remember meeting in a tavern, lol, but that's it. They know there's a city nearby and they see the mountains north-west, with the river leading into that direction. So they logically followed the river up the mountains, finding an old dwarven ruin. They decided against exploring it because a) they couldn't get inside because a massive metal gate was closed b) they needed to find civilisation first and c) I had nothing prepared for that ruin lol. They made a camp in the alcove before the gate to the dwarven ruin, saw a cyclops in the night and decided that the mountains are pretty dangerous. They looked around and saw that the river leads out of the forest below into some grasslands. There they saw a cute little village. So now they decided to go there.
They followed the river down and after some walking through the forest they found a cozy little Teapot sitting by a pond near the river.
Mei being very genre savy already knew that a nice, chill witch will live there and she was absolutely right. Chelestra the lazy witch welcomed them in their home, served them some biscuits and some tea and told them of her problem. She moved recently and forgot her favorite shoes in her old home and she can't be bothered to go there. They obliged, went to her old house, found the red leather boots and brought them to her. They stayed the night and Gekko saw his opportunity. You see he really, really wanted her spellbook. And with the liberating freedom of "shit son, you can do whatever you want", these fuckers decided that they want to see the world burn. Gekko woke up Eine Frau and asked if she would help him, which she declined because she really doesn't want to be killed by a random magic user. Pretty smart. So Gekko inquired about the layout of the Building and found out that the small latrine is across from Chelestras bedroom. So he picked his weapon and moved there stealthily. He opened the door really carefully, entered the bedroom and oh shit her coat started screaming. She had cast magic mouth on that thing and commanded it to start screaming if something enters the room. Gekko being quick on his feet told her that he wanted to use the latrine. She had no reason to suspect otherwise, because he was rather charming at day, so she left it at that.
They went back to bed and the next morning she told them of a street to the east. The street goes from north to south and splits at some point. There's a tavern called the Tuning Fork at that split and the adventurers decided to visit that place, travelling on the road will be surely easier. They bid goodbye and went to the east, going a bit off-course to the north. They found the route and some travellers and went with them south to the Tuning Fork, chilling there for the rest of the day.
And that's that for the first session.
Next session
