Le Roi est Mort. Vive le Roi!

Well, the kickoff of the Godzwar campaign 2010 was last Wednesday... and what a great time! In addition to our usual crew of 7 (Including myself) we had three visitors, two of which will be joining us with their own characters next week. Sooo, this week and up to Wednesday of next week will be spent in preparation of that. Interestingly enough, the two newbies are both female, which brings our total feminine count to 3 (four if you count my love for Enya and romance movies)... worthy of note only because this is the first campaign I've run (and I've run quite a few!) that had ANY females in them. And now, we'll have three! If Baelle is any indication of what is possible, this is going to be a very, very fun campaign!

"What do you mean, no damage??"

Well, the intrepid heroes managed to get out of Goodhaven safely, albeit without Roland's head. However, they *did* manage to get an entire group of people mad at them. Mattias decided to confront one of them in the local tavern... It didn't end well! Tanundur discovered that charming an NPC doesn't always guarantee a positive turnout, as the one he charmed happily did what he asked him to do (meet him in 2 hours in front of the library), but he came with ALL his buddies! Ouch. Poison blades, anyone?

Once escaping, the crew decided to forego Roland for the time being, and made their way instead towards the fabled mage tower. The travel there was mostly uneventful, until they got close to the "blast zone." Garkor did the usual trick of placing an invisibility field around them as they slept... but this time, they were attacked... by skeletons! Undead? Here?? It was then they discovered that non-magic weaponry (including Mattias' "fists of death and great pain") don't cause damage to the undead. Even still, they were able to vanquish the skellies, and as a bit of desperation the melee folk grabbed a femur from the skellies to use as a magical bludgeoning weapon. It worked, but it only did a small amount of damage, and the spellcasters were running out of spells fast! Something would have to be done, but what? We'll find out next session, I suppose...
