Family Dnd Session 21

 The party took a bit of time to recover and headed for the village of Puddlesworth. They arrived at night and headed to the tavern. Inside were 4 gruff looking men who told Downhead and Azorak to go away. The barmen a tall dragon born was very nervous when speaking to the party. They eventually got out of him that "they" ran the village and were in control. A female and a male had arrived but soon disappeared after asking questions. The party head to bed resolves to investigate the village in the  morning.  During the night the party wake up to the smell of burning...... The tavern is on fire, after they burst out their rooms they spot a female tied up in the middle of the tavern. Downhead cuts the ropes and discovers Yolanda. The agent they are looking for  outside are 16 cultists chanting. Azorak doves out of t he window followed by Downhead both with bows drawn. Ragnum smashes the door down and ready his axe. Ianthe wold shapes into an Ape and swings out of the tavern. Battle erupts! The party is victorious and Yolanda reveals Crisxus was taken away in a black carriage and is dead. Everyone heads back to Queens Watch where the king awaits. He rewards the heroes with special rings that summon mounts. No more walking for these guys. Ianthe has a giant elk, Azorak a Boar, Downhead a large greyhound (we have a greyhound d and my 6 year old loves him so much so had to put him in) Ragnum gets a T Rex (because its cool and I'm the DM dammit). With them is the wizard they rescued from Cyrus's Estate. The wizard one of the original heroes holds the chalice and says he will go to Dragons Teeth castle to live out his remaining days. He pulls out a blue stone and it opens a portal. The party goes through and adds the chalice to the basin with the other 2 items in. After a relaxing evening in Iron Jaws Bane back at the Hairy Shack. The party notice an owl following them. Ianthe calls it down and finds a note tied to its leg. The note reads

Ianthe, Downhead our home has bee struck by some sickness and we need your help please come to the Misty Wood! 

RCBBL Week 2 and 3

 


We are back!!! Sorry its been a while real life keeps getting in the way of my gaming updates. We are a couple of couple of more  weeks in so let's get cracking


Week 2

Osiris Scales vs Death Spectres

A tough match for the Dark Elves taking on the liazards. I heard it was a bit of a punch up and the Osiris Scales took the win 1 - 0.


Fury Cutters vs Glade Runners

Father vs son for this match my Wood elves taking on my boys human team. The humans punched the hell out of the woodies. The journeymen I took for the match were all casualties by the end of the first half.  A close match ended 3 - 2 to the Glade Runners!


Gnoblar Gobblers vs Eaglettes

Husband vs wife in this match up! The ogres it seemed couldn't catch the elves (as an elf coach now I can't moan about elf tactics mwha ha ha), they did manage some quality runt punting but they were beaten 3 - 4


Week 3

On to the next week!!!


Death Spectres vs Fury Cutters 

The dark elves and most experienced team took on the humans. A battle was fought but in the end the Death Spectres took the win 4 - 0.

Osiris Scales vs Gnoblar Gobblers 

A close match but the ogres throwing and kicking of runts took the win 2 - 1

Glade Runners vs Eaglettes 

Elf vs elf action! Nuffle took a dislike to the Elven Union team and hampered their dice rolls. One elf catcher managed 5 dodges only to fall on a Rush for the end zone! The Glade Runners took the win 4 - 1.


That's another few weeks done. Starting to like the woodies. They are super brittle but their speed is impressive and my war dancer with strip ball is turning into an opponent annoying player

RCBBL Season 3 week 1

 


Here we go!! Season 3, new teams, old teams, new players and old players! The ogres are staying, the Dark Elves are staying but now we have Elven Union, a human team, a lizard team and a wood elf team! We welcome a couple of new players also! Here we go for week 1

Osiris Scales (Lizard) vs Eaglettes (Elven Union)  

2 of the new teams faced off against each other. The Eaglettes rookie coach lines up against last year's championship winning coach though minus his rats this year. The game ended 4 - 0 to the Eaglettes! The elves put on a display of speed and dodging. 

Gnoblar Gobblers (Ogre) vs Fury Cutters (Human) 

Another rookie coach (proud parent moment my 8 year old has joined the league) faces a veteran coach. In a thrilling game where my sons distinct lack of regard for any kind of looking at the odds and deciding on a sensible course of action ment crazy actions were attempted. The Fury Cutters took the win 4-2!

Death Spectres (Dark Elf) vs Glade runners (Wood Elf)

2 veteran RCBBL coaches face each other one with the highest TV team of the league. The other a brand new team who play a totally different style than the coach is used to (yeah that's me). A hard fought tactical match happened where my brain still hurts from working out tackle zones. The rookie woodies took the veteran Dark elves to 2-2 despite losing their thrower and 2 other players early on (one lineman dead already) but the Dark Elves scored on the last turn to take the win 3-2.

A good week but I'm still not sold on wood elves
