Borderlands Campaign Session Five

 In this session, campaign regulars Ashton Scholastic, the human magic-user and Delly Isshues the halfling were joined by Edric Valmont the human paladin. They returned to the Caves of Chaos to find that two Orogs had taken up residence in the cave where the Ogre had once inhabited. They dispatched the two without being harmed, mostly thanks to Edric's armor.

 They then visited the kobold caves to see if the kobolds would join them again on adventures. However, they quickly learned that something was wrong, as a smell of decay came from the cave. They discovered that the kobolds had been slain, or at least the males. I had actually played this battle out before hand. Shortly thereafter I had to bring the game to an abrupt end.

Borderlands Campaign Session Four

 In this session, the players were approached by two prospective retainers. They rejected one, at least for now, who was in training to be a cleric, but recruited one, Alvarus, as a bodyguard for the magic-user, Ashton. They also recruited Dania again. Then they headed to the Caves of Chaos once more.

 Once there they decided to take out the Ogre. They sent the halfling, Delly on ahead and then lured the Ogre into a trap. Despite a close call with the Barbarian, Marlow, they successful sprung their trap and after some bow fire, hits from the melee fighters and some burning oil, the players defeated the Ogre.

 However after looting the Ogre's treasure, they noticed that three hobgoblins where lured by the sounds of the battle. They attacked them, and after a quick battle they were victorious- but at the cost of their retainer's life. After this they decided to return to the Keep with Alvarus's body.
