Session 22
Session 22 – Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian & Elik'r Stormswallow – Executed devastating Captain America-style combo where Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian slammed his hammer on Elik'r Stormswallow's shield, creating a shockwave that killed all surrounding enemies and dealt 9 damage to Elik'r Stormswallow himself.
Session 22 – Elvva Beltavar – Died heroically in town square after being fully healed with a Greater Healing Potion, only to be stabbed unconscious moments later and fail all three death saves with her last words being "I can take it."
Session 22 – Elik'r Stormswallow – Strangled an assassin, lifted him up to stare into his eyes and watch the fear occur, then breathed fire directly into his face while holding him aloft before dropping the burning corpse.
Session 22 – ToooAh – Changed her magical armour into a random summery dress with individually colored flowers (green, purple, gold, blue) before meeting the Crown Princess Eilrora Everglade, explaining "You can't have the same outfit twice when meeting the Princess."
Session 22 – Mysterious Cloaked Man – Addressed Elincia Flowers as "My Queen" before disappearing into the crowd using unknown magic that even Elvva Beltavar couldn't identify as any known spell.
Session 22 – Crown Princess Eilrora Everglade – Casually executed a captured assassin by picking him up and drowning him in the town square fountain after the battle.
Session 22 – Guy (Elik'r's squire) – Proved his worth by spotting an assassin in the crowd, "lamping him down," then stomping on the attacker's head/neck to finish him before being fatally stabbed himself.
Session 22 – Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian – Knocked Elik'r Stormswallow unconscious from behind and carried him away fireman-style to prevent him from staying to mourn Guy (Elik'r's Squire) and Elvva Beltavar, prioritizing his survival over his feelings.
Session 21
Session 21 – Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian – Wore actual clothes for the first time (white ruffled shirt that looked like Austin Powers), challenged Ser Tessell Highfrost to "2 tilts then a FIGHT," then carried him off the field after winning: "I was hoping you'd last more than 2 rounds!"
Session 21 – Ser Tessell Highfrost – Unhorsed the Dragon Emperor (Emperor Vladier Drakonhart) in a single tilt when the Emperor rolled triple 1s (1-1-1 on accuracy-power-speed) and completely failed at everything. The crowd was shocked at the Empire's instant defeat.
Session 21 – Lady Odonia of Galantri – Defeated Crown Princess Eilrora Everglade in jousting after the Princess publicly revealed her identity as the Eagle Knight to the shocked crowd. Lady Odonia of Galantri immediately dismounted to help the Princess up and they walked off together holding both horses.
Session 21 – ToooAh – Dominated the entire first day of jousting, unhorsing her first opponent instantly and winning every match to advance to the semi-finals where she faces Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian.
Session 21 – Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian vs Duke Vallandor Firebloom – After the Duke led 4-0 by hitting Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian in the head twice, Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian removed his helmet for the final tilt and rolled two natural 20s to absolutely demolish the high-ranking Duke. The crowd went wild.
Session 21 – Ali (former bandit leader) – Cryptically warned Lady Odonia of Galantri his new gang has "very powerful people who can keep people alive" with apparent resurrection capabilities, but refused to elaborate: "You're too young... things you're not grown up enough yet for."
Session 21 – Elvva Beltavar – Received free basic jousting armour from Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian's blacksmith as a blessing, though it's functionally sound but aesthetically terrible ("crap, it's not good"). Can improve appearance with magic later.
Session 19
Session 19 – Elik'r Stormswallow – Rolled natural 1 trying to convince Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian he'd drunk all the ale. Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian looked at the full, untouched tankards and immediately called him out, roaring with laughter.
Session 19 – Elik'r Stormswallow – Completed Tournament of Wits and Wisdom second overall (first among party). Portal opened and Ser Alvar Flowers emerged, saying "I knew you would succeed" and "This is only the beginning."
Session 19 – Ser Tessell Highfrost – Struggled catastrophically with Tournament of Wits and Wisdom riddles, taking heavy damage in every room. Session ended with fate unknown, still trapped inside taking damage.
Session 19 – ToooAh – Overthought the village riddle, calculating hundreds of people (wives × kids × cats × kittens) before realizing only one person was actually going to the village. Took fire damage for wrong answer.
Session 19 – Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian – After exposing Elik'r Stormswallow's lie, actually drank numerous tankards and was thoroughly drunk by the time other party members returned, celebrating his third-place Tournament finish.
Session 19 – Party (All) – All tournament competitors, including Crown Princess Eilrora Everglade, mysteriously drugged at royal feast and fell unconscious simultaneously. High perception rolls noticed even the Crown Princess passed out.
Session 18
Session 18 – ToooAh – Proudly declared increased Intelligence stat, then immediately failed the Intelligence (Religion) check to remember Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian's bet, rolling only a 7 total. Party laughed at the ironic timing.
Session 18 – Elik'r Stormswallow – Rolled a natural 20 on Constitution save for dragon blood ritual, survived easily, but then slept for 20 hours while rest of party woke up. Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian drew tic-tac-toe on his face and called him "the little girl."
Session 18 – Elvva Beltavar – Discovered Balthazar's diary containing death certificates for all current party members (dates blank) and Ser Pas Rata's death certificate dated one month ago, confirming their former companion's death.
Session 18 – Lady Odonia of Galantri – Saw through River the dog's eyes in shared vision and spotted Barry/Larry (the gnome she shot in the eye during early tournament melee) leading a gnome army watching the party from the woods. The gnomes have not forgotten.
Session 18 – Elik'r Stormswallow – Petrified purple dragonborn statue from ancient times called out his name specifically: "RELEASE ME, RELEASE ME, ELIK'R STORMSWALLOW!" No one knows why this ancient being knows him.
Session 18 – Party (All) – Survived Bane Watcher initiation ritual with Constitution saves ranging from 13-20, drinking dragon blood mixed with other substances that tasted "like shit" according to Co'narr 'Banewatcher' Hyborian. All collapsed simultaneously.
Session 18 – Elvva Beltavar – Shared vision revealed her backstory: young girl (her) crying over father's lifeless body during a raid, with a Black Knight wielding hammer walking away in the background.
Session 18 – Party (All) – Experienced shared prophetic vision showing ancient war against The Bane, purple dragonborn's petrification, party backstories, gnome army, and mysterious child turning pursuing ship to stone.
