NDT session 3: Release the bats, the vampire bats

Thaumont 8th evening, Sukiskyn, The Dymrak forest

Aimiir had been struck by sling-stone from the north but could not spot the attackers in the dark.

Pyotr’s mother Kuzma and his Daughter Irina overheard the party bemoaning the lack of light spells they had. Kuzma cast Light on the a sling stone which Irina launched towards the wood.

Aiamiir, Rurik and Glimmer were then able to kill the goblin snipers with the assistance of a lucky shot from Taras.


Under siege

Pyotr, kuzma and the party discussed where to place light spells to help spot goblins but none were spotted. However, some large bats were spotted flying towards the house.

Rurik lit them up with a moonbeam but they still managed to reach the top of the tower to surround Aiamiir, paralysing him.

Rurik and Glimmer moved to assist him. One bat flew in through a broken window in the house and badly wounded the elderly servant Stellios. The bats were tough but were soon defeated before they could cause more significant damage. Rurik repositioned his moonbeam in the woods and luckily managed to catch a couple of goblins.

More time passed while the defenders waited for the goblins next move.

To be continued…

DM notes: there were only 3 players this session so if you are familiar with scenario you will have noticed I have shifted some of the events around a bit.

I had the map printed out as a PVC poster - my original paper version has been held together by sellotape since the 80s. I still have the original tokens somewhere as well.
