Pizza and Root Beer (Session 1)

 

 
This is a rundown of my Advanced Labyrinth Lord Game this weekend.

The Party 

Tibar Oakenshield (Dwarf, Level 1 XP: 1035 HP: 10)
Guccio Alberighi (Fighter, Level 1 XP: 1035 HP:7)
Tieri Babbi (Cleric, Level 1 XP: 1035 HP: 5)
Louis Zem (Human Monk, Level 1 XP: 1035 HP: 11)
Valywen (Elven MU Level 1 XP: 1035 HP: 3 )
1x Magic Missile
Victor Vulcania (Elven Bard Level 1 XP: 0 HP 4)

The party first session was more of a get the rules down, I am running a house ruled version of Advanced Labyrinth Lord that gives humans and the race-class more HP, in return for eliminating level limits on Demihumans.   Unlike my B/X game which is gritty, this is a "Beer and Pretzel" game.  The Bard class is a playtest.

The game opening was moving it to a new location since the B/X game (which shares some players) was in the same setting.

----------

The party, newly enriched had spent some money upgrading armor and Valywen had written 2 scrolls of magic missile (I uses the Holmes rules in that regard)  Then they after some quick role playing, decided to take a job that required them to set sail, in the middle of the travels, the ship was wrecked on the shore.  The party survived, there equipment (along with odds and ends) recovered, but the party did not know where they where.  (A little GM railroading to start a campaign is sometimes needed).

The party took stock, and then heard the sound of battle in the distance.   They, being the adventuring type, followed the sounds and came across a cart, a man with a stick was fending off five goblins, and quite a few goblins and guards appears to be dead as the victims of the battle beforehand.   The party charged, and within a few rounds the goblins lay dead.  

The man was named Gershan, and while he spoke common, it was with a accent.  He told them he was the local sage, and was coming back to town with some various items, and offered to lead the party into town, which they agreed. 

Soon they came to a town called Robicheux, of about 4,000 souls, and quickly realized that none had ever heard of this town.   (Such is the life of forced transfers.)  Gershan agreed for saving his life that he would ID any items that the party found for free. 

The party began to ask around and found out about two leads, a chaotic temple of some sort, and a dungeon complex, all within "a day or so" of travel.

The party then decided to call it a day.

500 XP was granted (I give 500 xp for play a session)

The Party 

Tibar Oakenshield (Dwarf, Level 1 XP: 1535 HP: 10)

Valywen (Elven MU Level 1 XP: 1535 HP: 3 )

Much ribbing that Tieri Babbi missed leveling by about 30 XP.
