Caverns of Thracia Session 2: Unexpected Challenges and Roster Shifts
The Caverns of Thracia mini-campaign continued with the second session, following the success of the first. The party, led by an elderly knight named Thaxter, faced unexpected challenges and changes in their roster.
The session began with a shuffled player roster. One player was absent, while two new adventurers joined the party. The group, now consisting of Herbert the Elf, Thalmain, Trust, Warrain, Dominic, and Thaxter, ventured deeper into the dungeon complex.
Thaxter, presenting himself as an experienced knight, initially seemed confident. However, when a giant bat appeared, he panicked, dropping his torch and screaming in terror. The torch started a fire on the rope bridge, which the players quickly extinguished in an unconventional but effective manner.
Navigating the complex rooms proved challenging. Describing the layout verbally was confusing, and even sketching the shape of the room didn't help. Players were encouraged to keep a map and have pen and parchment for their characters to record their journey.
After the session, Quinton, Thaxter's son, arrived and criticized his father's actions. A hypothetical question exchange followed, highlighting the impact of the session on the campaign's story progression.
The Caverns of Thracia mini-campaign's second session ended with the party facing unexpected challenges and roster changes. Thaxter's panic and the players' innovative problem-solving set the stage for future adventures. The campaign continues to engage players and evolve, with Quinton's arrival adding a new layer to the story.
