Ironguard Summer 2022: Notes

The first session ended with a small mystery, both for the players and myself.  Namely, what exactly is the 'other thing' that the Druid-in-wolf-form smelled.

I've decided what it is.  This lets me decide where its going and what its up to.

That said, given that this is the B5 portion of my B2-B5 mashup, readers might guess where it's headed (no, not to the Dungeon of Signs, although I may have adopted some of the suggestions to make these adventures better).

Jim Roslof.  Cover Art B5 Horror on the Hill.  B5 is criminally underrated.

Here are some details on the meatshields I rolled up using Meatshields (a great resource); each random person has the chance for Equipment, Background, Possessions and Knowledge, and Notable Features.  Sometimes these extras are blank, other times they are incredibly useful.  

Mordox the man-at-arms: Hand Axe, Dagger, Leather & Shield  Town Liar

Bron the man-at-arms: Hand Axe, Dagger, Leather & Shield   Tanner; Small book with pressed flowers

Galrik the Dwarf: Warhammer, Chainmail & Shield  Vendetta: Kill All Goblins! Pouch of jerked beef; Hates wizards

Halla the woman-at-arms: Hand Axe, Dagger, Leather & Shield Failed Tradeswoman

Boltag the man-at-arms: Light Crossbow, Dagger Leather Aspires to Godhood  Chain (10')

Norwyn the Torch-Bearer: Dagger   Escaped convict; Can outrun a bear

Some of the extra information is fun and lends itself to play, both in session and my planning for later sessions.  Give Meatshields a try, but maybe before session, so you can use better names.

In other news, I found a third player, one of the Ohio gang.  We had a class on Discord use and I should get his PC via email this week.  He's only free on weekends, though.

We meet Wednesday evening, so there should be another session log later this week.
