Storming the Castle

Date: June 20, 2014
Characters in attendance: Hex, Lady Paladin, 99, Quantum, Shimmer
Experience awarded: ?

The group meets the five mysterious strangers, who turn out to be fantasy analogs of themselves: * Dame Champion, an older paladin who can still take care of herself * Hauberk, a mysterious man in head-to-toe magical armor * Shade, a handsome rogue who can disappear when he needs to * Chaos, a robed and hooded man who controls the mystical arts * Thrall, a long-lived dark elf who comes from a life of imprisonment and pain

This group leads them to the city of Port Landing, a peaceful city until the throne and the castle were seized by The Ursurper, who made himself ruler with the aid of two powerful mages. He and his army of orcs have enslaved the populace, and having recently discovered the portal to our world, had made plans to extend their power there. The fantasy analogs were adventurers who were leading a rebellion against the new king. With our heroes, they had a chance of winning.

In the local tavern (McMinamins), while the groups are being served by Olaf and his wife Stella, they reveal their plans. While the fantasy group leads a frontal assault on the castle, Olaf will lead our heroes through hidden passages into the castle, where they will attempt to take out the powerful wizards.

The group make it into the castle, defeat several groups of guards, and make their way to the throne room, where they engage the wizards. Lord and Lady Malach are extremely powerful mages and have been the power behind the throne.

Our heroes are just barely holding their own against the numerous guards, orcs, and the Malachs, and have taken a lot of damage, when the wizards' reinforcements show up, and everybody learns that the frontal assault against the castle was a failure, and the other group was defeated. All seems lost…

GM's Notes:

This was supposed to be a really tough fight. All of the enemies were made as Champions characters, not Fantasy Hero, and very powerful. The orcs either had tough maces that could knock you down in a single blow, or huge bows that could shoot an arrow through almost anything. Lots of body damage was done.

I had a lot of fun creating the fantasy analogs of the characters.
