Tears of the Blade Session 6: Tears of Blood

So my friend Courtney M. showed up played her unnamed sorceress for this game, and it was kind of interesting. she didn't do much besides stand around and watch the other guys fight and use some minor spells, but the others became interested once her hands turned into demonic claws.

Maldrogan and Walgre killed off the dwarf party looking for them (the barbarian had to be raised in between) and then tracked down the bandit captain who killed their previous characters and finished him off as he went to sell the other people's loot in the market. After this, the mysterious sorcerous fled the scene and was not heard from again.

Once the two adventures realized that the dwarves had a huge store of gold underneath the castle, they immediately moved to take it. The remaining bandits rushed in and attacked them. There were 16 of them along with the bandit king, and they put up a good fight. While the minions did little besides slow down the group, the bandit king held his distance and did damage with his crossbow.

Eventually they lost track of the bandit king and mowed down his troops. However, the man himself was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, Maldrogan sees his friend get stabbed through the back with a rapier that appears out of nowhere. The magus charged, but the acrobatic man flipped over him and stabbed him several times as well. The bandit king made off with the loot, including:
-Maldrogan's Flaming Longsword
-Agile Breastplate (To replace Studded Leather)
-Belt of Giant Strength
-Maldrogan's and Zantas's Spellbooks
-Potion of Bear's Endurance
-Potion of Cat's Grace
-6 Potions of Cure Serious Wounds
-Masterwork Dwarven Battleaxe

From selling the rest of the gear, the bandit king also has war funds equal to about 4,000 gp personal cash + his treasures in the Castle.

But until they have to deal with him, we decided to switch to basic dnd (I've been wanting to play the B series for a while). The sad thing is that I could not get the players to agree to play dungeon world or burning wheel, so we had to agree to Basic. We already have the new characters gearing up for another adventure, so I hope it's still a fun time.

We delayed the game a week due to Family Weekend (both me and Courtney are visiting our parents), so the next game is November 2nd. Jared already made a thief, Courtney is keeping the same character, and jung is playing a cleric of some kind.
