Dear players,

The game page has been updated.
The calendar event is up for next week.

The Hook Mountains Adventure Park.

Are you in a band of mid-level heroes bored to kill rats for measly excepee in the cellar of the local "Welcoming Wench Inn"? Has the thought of putting Zombies risen from the village's graveyard out of their misery lost its appeal? Do you yawn when you hear the average unnamed NPC peasant commoner calling for adventurers to kill Goblins lairing in "...thar yonder Black Hills" to retrieve some crappy piece of jewelry not worth enough to buy you a flask of Alchemist Fire?

If you can say yes to any of these, please come to visit the Hook Mountain adventure park.
You will find masochistic Ogres ready to be sliced and diced for your amusement, play the banjo to ambush them, they will gladly offer their kidney for sneak-attack. No sweat, no fear, no danger, just guaranteed killing of good old Ogres as big wandering and easy to hit HP bags!

No seriously, I wonder why I bother even selecting monsters nowadays, where is the fun in doubling some base HP total then reaching zero by substracting the same HP in less than four rounds barely dishing out one hit in ten attacks from statistically half decent monsters?

I should bring back the GM screen and go back to "Does a 73 followed by a 68 hit you?"
Last encounter:

• Eight basic Ogres with a half decent +8 to attack.
• One Ogre Barbarian with an attack sequence of +18/+13

And still I only managed to drop Eigan!

Fort Rannick.

As mentioned to these players who are part of the furniture at "Vague Connections", there is no real timer to go against. There were no prisoners, and if they had been, they would have been eaten by now.
However, I would expect the party to set themselves a challenge of retaking the fort within two days.
If you take more than three, I will set-up the next event in the adventure, for which you will be likely out of spells. You are a big party, with a lot of spellcasting resources, so I guess it is possible for you to reclaim Fort Rannick pretty quickly. Remember though that those Lightning Bolts could be more efficient on mini-bosses than the CR3 Ogre rank and file.

See you on Wednesday,

Laurent,
