I'm now fully caught up on all the backstory, and boy could I not have come up with a more different rogue than Merri. Apologies for the extensive creative energy you will need in retconning.

No worries at all. You can just step right in. :)

FYI everyone, first time we tangled with 2 robots, Hraefn and Merri went to sleep, and the remaining 4 didn't manage to do enough damage to destroy even one of them. So welcome to lala land, new additions! We need to puzzle this one out! I swear there's bound to be gas masks somewhere, it's just we haven't found them.

Hmmm

There's the strange potion bottle that Einar found in the cell. Didn't have much time to investigate it before the robot came in though.

We also have two alien weapons, Hraefn is holding some kind of blaster, and I can't remember who's holding the other one.

Bram, I think, held onto the coin and the strange glass bulb thing you all found at the fort....

@Ferdy, we all have bardic inspiration. That might prevent Gothred from being knocked out.

The others rolled too low I think

Thank you for saying so! At 8th level it should be a d8, I'd need at least a 4 to make that save, wish me luck!

You only needed a 1. DC14, and you rolled a 13. :D

Yeah but I added 3 more to the modifier than I should have.

The artwork and the spacer theme reminds me of one of the earliest d&d games. This is the case right?

Those early games could be really unfair in their there-is-only-one-solution or guess-what-GM-is-thinking

Yes, but this is all a 5E conversion.. and I’ve never ever presented a party with a situation that only has one solution or way out. The case here was that the party had some bad rolls and wound up giving in to the golems, thus winding up in jail... now y’all gotta jail break. 😁

oops @runekyndig i hope i didn't imply that we were stuck looking for the one and only solution. we had a bad first battle is all.

I want to match my expectations with the game that is all :)

My group and I have played some different games to see what was typical for the 80'es, 90'es, and 00'es. A very interesting play through of different thoughts of gameplay.

I agree with your observations, you can tell the 'era' of a game from its design and focus

Don't care who you are or what era.... this adventure ROCKS... and the maps are pretty cool, too... :D

@runekyndig Sonja has proficiency in DEX saving throws, no? (He says having forgotten to apply the aura of protection to Grax's)

(Not saying to go back and fix, just checking for next time)

No, we will go back and fix it. I have no issue re-working something if it is the right thing.
