Cornpop and the masters of the universe (Halforums 5e adventure)

I am Cornpop, halfling of Neverwind. Fatatastic powers were revealed to me when I drank a gallon of ale and killed a bugbear with my bear hands singlehandedly.

Only seven people know my secret; Toarent a giant lizard, Sildar's a naked guy from a cave and Silver who stabs things.

Together we defend Fandallin front the evil forces of Flagstaff!

It's funny how much is "accurate" here versus not. A surprisingly high percentage!


@HCGLNS said he'd be starting a thread to share out "adventures" with the rest of the board, so this is it. I'm DM'ing a D&D5E adventure with @HCGLNS, @Squidleybits, and @Dirona as players. Enjoy the "reports" of our adventures here!

I'm guessing the "bear hands" were, in fact, bear paws.

I spent a lot of time putting together a detailed backstory for my character. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what I'm doing :)

Aha you wish to here about my battle with the Bugbear Lkargg?

I started off by stealing his wolf from under his nose and riding it down the chimney like like a wolF!

Then after butchering his goblin archers I pummeled him with their ripped off limbs and he cowered in fear until he died.

Then I cut off his ears to make this necklace!

Ah Toarent my lizard friend you exaggerate your size again, you are only four times my size. Perhaps your height is while you keep falling down things, why just recently I rescued you after you fell off a bridge!

Fell through a bridge, thanks to my giant dragon-y sized butt.

Yes. Last session we learned how to make bacon wrapped tater tots and that Danish Blue Cheese is the best blue cheese.

Yes and possibly, but is being the best of an evil cadre of cheeses really something to crow about?

So strating next session Cornpop will be doing more advanced tactics, primarily knocling people to the ground using the shove attack. That's my Athletics check versus an opposed Atletics or Acrobatics. Purpose being to grant Silver advantage on her attacks.

And with the combat manouvers from the Battlemaster Archetype it could get hairy.

One conceivable event is Menacing Attack; Shove (with a disadvantaged save) + Action Surge: Commanders Strike.

The monk is going Open Hand almost certainly (still waffling a bit). Which means knockdown or shove on successful attack as well.

I can confirm that the roll pictured both
  1. Happened
  2. Affected the behavior of most of the participants of the game
He out-persuaded @Squidleybits and thus some (former) prisoners started tagging along with their group, rather than staying were it was safe(ish).

Fun times.

My plan was far better! He won the roll and then left me in charge of protecting them while we went through the dungeon!

Eventually he will appear as tall as Torinn.

Hello again, gather round and listen to my new tales of awesome adventures and drinking.

Having saved the town of Fan Delar from a horde of evil, I celebrated with the townsfolk and drank a giants weight in ale. The lizard and elf chose to feed the cat all night.

Then some boring people paid us to rescue them from the evil to the East.

So off to the East I led the lizard lady, the elf with the pointy stick and the dude who likes to kick things; Solder.

Using my quick wits I easily dispatched eight goblins singlehandedly with my incredible sword Chop Chop!

Such work deserves a good night's sleep, but the elfs cat attracted some hungry wolves, so I had to kill like a pack of three or so to get pack to sleep.

Then the next day we found a ghost or something and talked to it about hair care products. It did not have any beer.

Then off to find out about the Well of Elderly Owls and it's viscious creward of vampires. We found a nice man with a cool tent, he was being attacked by zombies, I tried to save him, but Torring the lizard attacked with bloodless and bile.

The lizard ended up setting everyone on fire and Silver the cat lady accidently killed the strange man.

But he had a nice tent.

'Alo again! Back for more tales of Cornpop and his mighty blade Chop-Chop! Easy enough, so after the dragon lady killed some zombies I led us south and then I killed an entire cave of orcs and ogres. For sum reason the dragon lady keeps turning into a spider, hopefully it's not contagious. Having finished our business in the North, I led us back to town, and for some reason some hobgoblins attacked us. It must be the lady elfs fault, they know by now that attacking me is certain death. It goes without saying what happened next.

So back at the town of Fendallar, I took charge and got us all prepared for our next trip East, while the others seemed to want to complain to various people around town. A few days ride and here we are, on our way to Thundurtree.

I think there will be a number of interesting possibilities when we finish our current module (which should be before that comes out). That's all I'll say.

Our first campaign finally finished with their Monk stun-locking the dragon.

Poor dragon. Without legendary resistances, it didn't stand a chance.



Given that Cornpop's player is going to be the next DM, we'll see where this goes...

HCGLNS

HCGLNS

And now a new DM...

You set out to explore the recent stirrings in the fallen castle of Bowstrunkt. From you history your remember that hundreds of years ago a gnoll army raged across the Forgotten Realms only to meet their demise at a final battle based around Bowstrunkt Castle. The inhabitants of the castle are rumoured to have crafterd fierce warriors known as War-Forged. Made of wood and metal and imbued with some form of a soul they proved to be significant response to the gnoll threat. The gnolls defeated and dissappeared the castle never heard from again.

XP for the evening: 5300 each.

Treasure totals:

200 gp
2 x Healing Potion
4 Diamonds worth 100 gp each
Chain Shirt +1
Longsword +1
50 diamonds worth 15 gp each
1 amethyst worth 400 gp
2 arrows of undead slaying

Choker of Tiamat

This is a dazzlying jewled chocker filled with many gems that represent the chromatic dragons, culminating with a large ruby in the centre. A DC 15 history check will reveal that this choker is highly prized by members of the dragonborn race. An arcana check DC 22 will reveal it's true nature.

Curse: this item can not be removed once worn and only a Remove Curse spell can remove it.

Should any race other than a dragon born wear this choker, they gain a breathweapon as per the dragonborn race statistics.

Should a dragonborn wear the choker, their breath weapon gains a recharge value of 5-6/6

After every 10 recharges, the damage of their breathweapon doubles and the character suffers an alignment shift to CE.

No diagonals allowed.

As far as I'm concerned, the goat and Cornpop went floating off down the river, and we'll find them washed up on the bank somewhere as we're leaving. Both drunk as skunks, of course.
