The Grimy Jewel Campaign: Session 3 Report

Kevin and I met up last week to play the "Swordfight" scenario from Hour 11's book of Song of Blades and Heroes scenarios as part of our ongoing campaign.


Our warbands met while exploring some long-forgotten ruins and barrows now overgrown by forest.  The photos here are from early in the game, as our warriors race to explore six burial mounds.

Each warband suffered a few turnovers early in the game, but later got to encounter the mounds -- and each other. Over the course of the game, about 25 spirits of this fallen chaotic community were awoken, attacking the explorers and generally detaining them with grasping claws.


Eventually, my elven priest of autumn was able to avoid the dead things to get away with a magical artifact.



Rolling on Mattias's Arcane and Deadly Objects table, I found my artifact to be a Twisted Circlet -- a chaotic crown that may inspire or ruin one member of my warband. After the escaping the undead, Kevin's warband found a keg of ale mysteriously preserved in the ruins. My warband then encountered another spirit, this one of a hero who fought against the disturbed chaotic entities when they were all alive. As an atonement for enraging the otherwise contained chaos, my warband pledged to take on a mission on behalf of the fallen hero.
