Game summary for February 22, 2022, Classic Quest campaign, Dungeons & Dragons BECMI / RC Edition, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Arminious Ironkeep (Human Cleric played by Chris Harmon), Garadal Davster (Halfling played by Parker Harmon), Katarina Magdanov (Human Magic-User played by Casey Scruggs), Koehan Rumisar (Elf played by Peyton Harmon), and Valor Eagleclaw (Human Fighter played by Preston Harmon). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team discussed options with the Hutaakans and amongst themselves. The priestess allowed them to examine the key to the tomb of the elders, and Koehan was able to determine it is merely a fancy metal scroll with the spells knock and continual light. They realized Katarina already has the means to enter the tomb without the key but they still likely need the priestess to perform a holy ritual to Pflarr, so there is little to gain by getting the Knowledge of the Elders without her. They debated the Traldar’s theory of needing the water from the Singing Pool, but they decided to believe the Hutaakans’ claim that it would not work. They also considered if they can access the elders’ vault without the key using their arcane magic, so too could Golthar. After much debate and discussion, they decided it is in the best interest of everyone to work with the Hutaakans and retrieve the book.
The group burned the bodies of the dead to prevent them from rising up again (all but the Traldar slain by the Hutaakan whom they instead buried). The team set out across the valley and narrowly avoided a Traldar patrol. They crossed the road leading to Ronkan, the city currently occupied by the Traldar and hid themselves in the tall grass to await evening. They plan to approach the tomb under the cover of darkness so as to avoid the Traldar, even though there is increased risk of running into the undead.
