Family Dnd Session 18, 19 20

 The party head further into the mine, they meet more cultists but also find traces of a recent battle. Dwarf and cultist bodies are strewn around. They locate cultists trying to break into the dwatf hold. They defeat the cultists and the dwarfs let them in to the hold. After speaking with the leader they know a demon stalks the halls between them and the surface. The adventurers agree to slay the demon and head off into the abandoned bits of the hold. Here they find a Glabrezus. A cracking fight occurred Ragnum the barbarian spent a lot of time being grappled and punched. Eventually the demon was slain and t he dwarves formed up and charged out into the cultist camp blocking the entrance. The cultists were defeated and the dwarves on suggestion of the party abandoned the  hold and headed towards dragons teeth castle. The party headed back to Queens Watch.

On arriving at Queens Watch paladin Dance met then and said the King wants to see them the next day. They party went shopping, avoided being mugged and stocked up in some potions.  The next day they made their way to the Palace. Ragnum got pickpocketed but the other members stopped the children before they could steal. Azorak punched a 6 year old child pick pocket. They met the King who informed them the wizard had landed at Queens Watch and came to the Palace spoke with the Kings uncles family but then disappeared. The king requested they investigate his uncles country estate. His uncle is only seen at night travelling in a black carriage. The king wants his name kept out of the investigation as his uncle has powerful friends at court and doesent want a civil war. The party agree. Before they leave Danse requests they also look at the village of  Puddlesworth. He sent to agents to investigate the cult there and they have disappeared.  The party agree and choose to head to the Kings uncles Country estate.

As they arrive Ianthe notices the gardeners all look a bit zombie like, slow shambling and a bit dumb. The house is a country house with all the windows covered up. They ask to speak to Cyrus (the Kings uncle) and are led inside. They meet Cyrus, a pale thin man as he talks Azorak, Downhead and Ragnum all feel sleepy and pass  out. Ianthe is struck from behind and is knocked out.

They awake in seperate cells with no equipment. Azorak tries to smash the door to no effect, Ianthe wild shapes into a lady bug and flies through the cell door window. She investigates ahead and finds a guard asleep. She heads back and returns to human form and let's the party out. They try and  sneak past the guard but Ragnum stubs his toe and wakes the guard up but with quick thinking dices over the table and knocks the guard out. They come to another room where 3 guards are on break. Azorak Ragnum and Downhead rush forward. Ianthe hangs back and flings fire but mostly misses. A brawl eruots and eventually the party overcome the guards. They discover a room with all their equipment but no gold. They eventually find a secret room packed with some nice treasure. Ianthe realises they are dealing with a vampire, they locate his coffin and open it carefully but it's empty. Ianthe instructs them to pour water into the coffin (Dnd vampire killing). They then move to a room emitting a blue glow. In it they find the ancient wizard cradling the chalice (One of the 4 artifacts the party need) and holding his staff out to create a force field. Also in the room is Cyrus gloating to the wizard about how no one in his family had the commitment to wait the wizard out but only he had chosen to be a vampire. He attacked the party, Ian the hit him with a moon beam and Azorak made the ground thorny around him but he still charged and took huge chunks out of Ragnum. When the battle started to swing the parties way the vampire stared intently at Downhead and convinced him to be on the vampires side. Ragnum ran and leapt at Donhead before the vampire could use him as food. The vampire was defeated and laughed as he turned to mist not realising the fate awaiting him at the coffin. The wizards shield fell and the party convinced him that they mean well and have a safe place for the chalice. They all head out of the estate where Paladin Danse arrives with a small army. Thankfully Dobbie had snuck away to get help. The party inform Paladin Danse of what's happened. Their path now leads them to Puddlesworth...... Ragnum might need a bit of a rest though! 

RCBBL Season 2 Week 9 and kinda 10

 

Week 9 

The penultimate week of action!

The Dog and Bones took on the mighty Rat Bastards! And in a shock result they won 2-1!! The Rat Bastards run of victories is brought crashing down!

The Gnoblar Gobblers defeated the Orcicidal Maniacs 2-0

The Puddings took on the Death Spectres with second place in the league on the line. The halflings struggled from terrible luck and failed to do most of the usual crazy halfling things and were dominated by t he dark elevs. This resulted in a 3 - 0 defeat. 

Week 10

Due to the league being mathematically set we all chose to concede our next games and cracking on season 3!!! Here is the final standings 

Season 3 will be starting soon. The Puddings, Dog and Bone, Orcidiak Maniacs and Rat Bastards are all retiring and new teams are arriving.  So keep an eye out!! 

CONGRATULATIONS to Dean and the Rat Bastards on the RCBBL title win! 

RCBBL Season 2 Week 6 and 7 and 8!

 

Week 6 and 7 done!! 

Week 6 saw the ever dominant Rat Bastards( Skaven) beat the Gnoblar Gobblers (Ogre) 4 - 1. Can anyone stop these rats?

The Orcicidal Maniacs (Black Orc) lost 3 nil to the Death Spectres (Dark Elves) . A black Orc though has the honour of taking the RCBBLs first intercept stopping the Death Spectres getting a fourth touchdown. 

The brave and Daring halfling team the  Portland Puddings (yeah their my team so I'll big them up all I want mwha ha ha) took on the Dog and Bone (Necromantic). The Dog and Bone team were really hampered by the lack of re rolls. Custard the Portland Pudding Treeman was on fire this game causing 3 casualties (I think) and the Puddings took the win 1- 0. Custard spent some. SPP and got block. 

Week 7

The  Death Spectres took on the Dog and Bone this week. In what all reports say was a brutal match. The Spectres won 3 - 1 but lost 3 players who are all missing next game.

The Puddings faced off against the Gnoblar Gobblers in a stuntie war and the puddings being in the unusual position of having the higher TV. The ogres did a great job of holding up my trees and it was a close swingy game. A. Very timely fireball from the Gnoblar hired wizard stopped the gathering halfling attack cold in their own half. Thanks to some fortunate bone head rolls and a completed pass. The halflings managed to get the ball away leaving most of the ogre team stuck on the other side of the field. The puddings win 1 - 0. Though they took a beating 3 badly hurt and several knock outs. Custard the tree again proved invaluable and spent more Spp after the match and got the randomly picked Brawler skill. 

The dominant Rat bastards took on the black Orc team Orcicidal Maniacs. A tough fight but the Rat Bastards won the match 2 - 1

Week 8

Another week you lucky people!!! The Gnoblar Gobblers took on the Dog and Bones. A wraith was released to the afterlife by an ogre and the Gnoblars took the win by 2 TDs to 0.

The Death Spectres took on the Rat Bastards missing 3 players. The skaven took the win 2 - 1.

The hugely popular (hey its my team I can be biased!!) Portland Puddings went the black Orc Orcicidal Maniacs on the pitch. A crazy match filled with failed catches (6 I believe as the ball bounced around the scrimmage line), elf like dodging from black orcs and some really unlucky rolls. The Portland Puddings took the win scoring 3 TDs to the Maniacs 1.  Again Custard the treeman using his block skill to great effect causing a couple of casualties. 

Phew I'm tired after all that action! Only 2 weeks left of the season. The Rat Bastards have sown the league up with theur undefeated run. Looks like no one can catch them. The Portland Puddings and Death Spectres are battling for second place! 

RCBBL Season 2 Week 5

 

We are at the halfway point in the league! 5 games in, numerous deaths, many casualties and plenty of action!! The Necromantic team Dog and Bone beat the Black Orc team the Orcicidal Maniacs 3 nil. The Maniacs Troll managed to vomit all over itself taking it out of the game.

The Death Spectres (Dark Elves) took on the Gnoblar Gobblers (Ogres).the ogre kicker booted a Gnoblar down field but the Gnoblar crashed I to the ground injuring himself. The elves running game was to much for the ogres and the Spectres won 3 nil.

The last match saw my very own Portland Puddings (Halflings) take on the undefeated Rat Bastards (Skaven). The puddings were granted a generous amount of inducements and they hired the legend Deep Root Strong Branch and a Master Chef. This game was a frustrating one for me, not for the usual halfling chaos.. That I can live with but my bleeding players could not pick up the ball ha ha! Deep root ploughed through the skaven team killing one and injuring a couple more but wasn't enough to stop the skaven speed. The puddings went down 2 nil. 

RCBBL 2 Week 4!!

 

Another week done in the RCBBL! The Rat Bastards keep their  dominant form up and take a 3 - 1 win against Dog and Bone

The Gnoblar Gobblers beat the Orcicidal Maniacs. The highlights being an Ogre one turn touch down and the black Orc troll munching on a goblin instead of throwing him!!

My plucky halflings took on the Death Spectres, the dark elves not used to halfling shenanigans took a while to get started but have the halflings a plummeling reducing me down to 7 players at one point. The dark elves took the lead but a cheeky fireball from a wizard and a well aimed thrown halfling ment a cheeky against the run of play halfling touch down!

Notice the cheeky halfling on his own in the back field with the ball! 

But then the dark elves reasserted their dominance and formed a cage to plough forward. My only defensice tactic I had left was to throw a halfling at the cage!! Much hilarity occurred as my halfling bounced of many a dark elf!! He finally landed and KO'd himself but had knocked down most of the cage even KO'd someone. The dark elves reformed and powered forward scoring a second touch down. The gane ended 2 - 1. My catcher broke his arm so loses a passing point (not a massive worry as he's a catcher) and one of the Death Spectres line men was badly hurt. 

Next up I have the Rat Bastards! Top of the league and undefeated. Can my little guys do it??? 

RCBBL 2 Week 3!

 

Week 3 is done and dusted! The Ogre team the Gnoblar Gobblers defeated the Necromantic team Dog and Bone 2 - 1. The Rat Bastards continued their winning run by defeating the Death Spectres. The Death Spectres lost a witch elf in the match. My team the Portland Puddings, a bunch of plucky halflings faced off against the Orcicidal Maniacs a black Orc team.  Getting a pile of inducements I took Halfling Masterchef and a wizard. In the early on on the match my treeman Custard made himself known by making a black Orc a casualty. From then on the halflings got extremely lucky, the black Orc team were frustrated with the block dice giving out push after push after push. They did manage to KO a treeman, a halfling injured himself trying to dodge away from the opposing team. The halflings tried their best having to pick there tackles but being able to go one on one with goblins helped. One Halfing was flung into a goblin KO'ing him and bowling over a troll but not breaking his armour. A Halfing catcher made hie was through the carnage to score the games only touchdown. A halfling vs goblin fight ended with both down but the goblin was killed!!! Nuffle was not having the black orcs at all, goblin using a rush (Going for it in old terms) to enter the touchdown zone failed and collaspes to the floor (Thanks to my master chef for tski g all of their re rolls) and it the last turn the Troll managed to throw a goblin who landed despite a terrible throw, the goblin landed and dodged but failed to pick up the ball one square away a from the touchdown zone! 1- 0 to the Portland Puddings. My catcher levelled up and I chose Divng Catch for him. 

Another great week! Bring on the next week of chaos! 

Family DnD Session 16. Back to Queens Watch

 The adventurers returned to Queens Watch. Paladin Danse met them at the docks saying they should get settled into a tavern for the night and then they can start Investigating where the wizard went with the chalice in Queens Watch. As they entered the town they noticed a large notice board. Azorak spotted a notice addressed to him??

The party headed to the Salted Pig to look for the mysterious D.  When they arrive and settle down a voice calls to Azorak. Another dwarf comes up to the table and introduces himself. Davarack is his name and he is Azoracks cousin. He explains Azoracks home and clan has been overun by an enemy and they have lost any kind of communication. He is leading a caravan of medical supplies but needs help to get to the clan survivors and he has heard about Azorak and his deeds. The party agree and the next day they set off. Davorak explains the enemy has blocked the main entrance with a camp so he will drop them at an abandoned mine which connects to their home.

They arrive and head in. An old mine awaits them, the first room used to be some kind of kitchen but has been turned into a grizzly trophy room. Skulls everywhere. A hell hound is guarding them and unleashes a gout of flame at the party who eventually vanquish it. Trey move on finding 2 dire wolves (1 injured) hiding from the hell hound. Ian the the druid explains he's gone and the wolves bound out of the mine. The party presses on, Downhead narrowly escapes an acid trap. They eventually find a large cavern where several what appears to be cultists chanting. One tells them that the party will never stop the black skull being summoned then suddenly he's possessed and the black skull speaks through him. He tells Azorak that his clan will be ground into dust, Ian the and Downhead their family will burn and Ragnum his tribe will be destroyed. The party charges into battle, Ragnum throws a cultist off a cliff and the cultists are vanquished under a hail of arrows and weapon strokes . The party discover stairs leading deeper into the mine. What will they find?
