Dungeons & Well Run Team Meetings

I'm back on the blogging train thanks to #bernieblackfriday. A weird Steem event that was lots of fun and generated some hilarious content.

I'm not even sure where I last left off in my D&D session. It has been quite a while since I posted anything of note. So I think a quick summary is in order.

Stole a boat. Beached a boat. Boat blew up. Infiltrated a pirate town. Stole money from a fish. Killed a fish. The fishes brother got shot by a cannon. Stole another boat. Met a Gnome. Saw another boat blow up. Brotherhood got wrecked (not by us). Killed a bunch of shadows. Almost got killed by some golems. Wrecked another boat. Teleported everyone to who knows where.

There we go now that we are all up to date I can dive into possibly the least productive D&D session of all-time that climaxed in a very well run meeting that, like most well run meetings, accomplished absolutely nothing.

That one time when the Bard and Barbarian decided to play a game of pool via dice rolls, (it was actually a fairly epic duel)

So our last session ended with my character, Kuth the 12 year old Warlock with a ancient demon trapped inside his body, performing a ritual that he had no clue what it was going to do as the town they were in was crumbling around the party. And the session ended with everything going black.

We all awoke in small rooms and, being the highly intelligent individuals we are, assumed we were locked in some sort of prison. We weren't and all the doors to our rooms were unlocked. Our newest addition to the party got things rolling by getting run over by a naked Bard, who thought the wisest course of action when faced with adversity was to take all his clothes off and run around blindly. Oddly enough our beloved Bard did happen to locate the main hall of what we later learned to be a Brotherhood fortress hidden in the aether. (We are members of the Brotherhood so this is a good thing and the aether is all the goop that separates all the continents in the world we are playing in)

We quickly learned that our team was still widely hated by the rest of the Brotherhood. We are a band of misfits and have left a long trail of blunders in our wake, so you can't really blame them for disliking us. Eventually after some searching we located a commander who would talk to us so that we could report on all of the ongoings since we took our last mission. My demon Quip was acting as captain for our group temporarily and had no clue that the mission we had just completed that involved murdering a ruthless pirate lord, was not given to us by the Brotherhood. I also learned that the Brotherhood very much frowned on murder in general and they were not please to hear how much murdering I had been doing in there name. Thankfully an unknown party interjected on my behalf and got me out of what was quickly escalating into an awkward situation.

This unknown individual directed us to Rake, the big man behind everything Brotherhood and a whole lot more. After climbing an unreasonable number of stairs we came face to face with an enormous Blonde haired Black Elf. The party told our tale to Rake and reported on the happenings we had encountered in the world during our (unfortuantely) non Brotherhood sanctioned murder spree. After listening to us Rake had an offer for us to potentially begin working for his Hallowed Legion and gave us a new mission to unearth a deadly weapon he could use in the coming war that was brewing with dark evil forces throughout the realm.

After accepting Rake's request we got down to the real excitement of the session, the well run meeting. Since we were about to join a new group Rake thought it best that we choose a new name and new captain for our team (our old captain has missed the last few sessions so it seemed like a good idea). Coming into this meeting with Rake my demon Quip had been acting as captain of the group and our team name had been The Eyes of Aether. And after a 30 minute meeting our Captain remained Quip and our team name remained The Eyes of Aether.

Well hopefully next week offers up a bit more excitement and a few less team meetings. It was still a fun session but D&D is best with at least a little bit of murder. See you next week!

love,
