Diabolical Mutterings
Dec. 31st, 2018 02:03 pmI was so nervous about last night's D&D session – as much as I enjoy DMing, I really look forward to being a player again, prep is so stressful every time. Fortunately one of our group is already planning the next campaign. I might cut out an entire sidequest from mine, not sure yet, I'll see how I feel in January. Or after the next session...
I was so nervous about preparing the interior of the temple and then they didn't even enter the temple, the druid just turned into a Giant Raven and kidnapped a cultist from the courtyard. Tactics! Then they interrogated him and almost missed all the relevant information, if I hadn't given them a hint after one of them made an Int check. But all is well that ends well. (Memory being fallible is a problem. For example they were told that the cult is responsible for the kidnapping, but they remembered being told that the kidnapper is a member of the cult, which is different, but when I remind them it's a hint.)
Anyway, now they know that it's most likely ex-cultists behind the kidnapping, because they were unsatisfied that the cult is just passively worshipping and awaiting the apocalypse instead of trying to expedite its arrival. "Weirdest hippie death cult" was my players' final judgment but they liked it xD
The past few Critical Role episodes were fun :) ( episode notes e43-46 )
Guten Rutsch!
