Lost Mines of Phandelver – Session 17 Side A

Posted on by gmcolin

Hello Listeners!

This week is Episode 34, Session 17 Side A, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 3 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 3 Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton is playing Olo, a level 3 Tortle Barbarian. And Matt plays a level 3 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

In today’s episode you’ll hear the encounter that the party had with Olo’s monstrous duck form! It was tense to say the least, but we handled it like we usually do; with humor!

We do manage to get a good pun in there this week, but since it’s only one, the Pun-O-Meter will have to stay at 1.

Please, enjoy the show!

Hello Listeners!

This week is Episode 32, Session 16 Side A, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 3 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 3 Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton is playing Olo, a level 3 Tortle Barbarian. And Matt plays a level 3 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

Today you’ll hear the players save Gebbin from a Grick. Maybe that doesn’t sound like the most dramatic experience in D&D history but considering how low they characters are on class features and resources, it wasn’t the easiest task for them. It was also the source of a good amount of amusement for us a group and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we did. It also gave them an excuse to keep working on taming their new pet Owlbear!

*Disclaimer* Colin did forget the accent he established for the owlbear when we had started this recording session, so you will notice that he struggles to hold onto that voice during the course of the recording.

Rwrarp goes on a dungeon delve with a couple Goblins and they investigate a shrine hidden deep within Cragmaw Castle. And Olo goes to talk with the Owlbear! Turns out he can do that… cuz weird homebrew barbarian classes are weird. Cool… but weird.

Hello Listeners!

This week is Episode 30, Session 15 Side A, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 3 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 3 Warlock in service to a dark patron. Kolton is playing Olo, a level 3 Tortle Barbarian. And Matt plays a level 3 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

In this week’s adventure the characters manage to save Gundren Rockseeker from Cragmaw Castle! Then they interrogate a Doppleganger and get a surprisingly small amount of information out of him, mostly due to their own unfocused conversational tactics. … On second thought, it’s not that surprising after all.
