Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything due to the whole photobucket debacle. I’m giving imgur a try so let’s hope all goes well. As you will see I’m a die hard paper terrain user and won’t be making the transition to 3D terrain. I’ve spoken about my reasons why in previous post so I won’t go into detail on them. I’m not knocking 3D terrain in any way, it looks great. For me paper is the way to go. For others 3D is the way to go. To each their own.
Recently I have started the Curse of Strahd story line however as is common amongst adults it is tough to get everyone together to play with any regularity. If we were lucky we meet twice a month but usually we only meet once every 4 or 5 weeks. Well that’s not enough for me to get my RP fix so I decided to augment our campaign with one shots on the days we could not all make it.
I took the 4E Dungeon Delves book and did my best to convert it to 5E. What follows below are pictures from the first of these encounters. Each delve is three encounters and each subsequent delve the PC’s would increase in level (delve 1 = level 1, delve 2 = level 2 and so on).
The first delve was to an excavation site and mine built by some newly settled dwarves. The characters were asked to investigate the disappearance of the dwarves from the area. They approached the site on top of a hill and were attacked by kobold slingers and fighters. They broke through the fence and took a little damage while dispatching the kobolds.
They went down the mine shaft and entered a room with a kobold shaman and body guards. The shaman used flame sphere and singed a few characters. After making quick work of them they headed down the hall without checking for traps (um hello, kobold lair ahead). When they got to the center of the hall spinning blades rose up through the floor on both ends of the hallway and started to move toward the center of the hall with some of the players trapped in between.
After getting past the blades they entered the last chamber only to find it occupied by prisoners, kobolds and a young white dragon. They were pretty beat up by the time this encounter came to an end and the dragon told them it would let them live if they left immediately and spread the word of the all mighty dragon that has take up residence here and all should avoid it or face a terrible death. They took the hint and ran away with their tails between their legs.
I apologize for the poor quality of these pictures but I didn’t think I would be posting them. I will endeavor to take better pictures in the future.
Now let’s see how to post the images.
