Two reports today going over four different game sessions.
In the unnamed campaign I play with some fans from the Loading Ready Run discord, we went to go negotiate with some goblins. The first group were nomadic and fine to move on, but first the chief wanted us to rescue his daughter who had been kidnapped by another clan further to the north.
One thing I’ve found about the format of Zihu’s hymns is that it’s harder to interject humor into those than it was the ballads in the Princes of the Apocalypse story. My party is a bit disturbed by the results of death by radiant damage (think Raiders of the Lost Ark) and are also inordinately concerned with the Create Bonfire cantrip. Though as it currently stands, I am the primary healer of the team.
I will note that the ballistae and troll were both legit scary to run into as 2nd level characters.
We’ve hit third level now, the barbarian chose to go with Storm Herald, Zihu is going pact of the chain so she can get a flying snek that can convey her heals via a boop on the snoot. The bard and rogue I don’t think have chosen their archetypes yet.

Meanwhile, we’ve had three sessions of the crossroads campaign but two of those were short sessions focused mostly on our team doing basic set-up of her stronghold and figuring out how to look for and recruit people as well as take on jobs for the center. My brother really likes to do management style games so he’s quite good at setting up this sort of thing. It does mean a bit of time getting set up though.
We’ve rescheduled our meeting time so that I’m more conscious for game and the most recent game went much better going 5 hours in total. Though we still spent most of that investigating and hanging out an open air cafe waiting for the cavalier we want to recruit before trying her house and having to go rescue her.
In any case, given Kanti is a bit more wordy in her journal than Zihu it’s easier to show the exact events, though I tend to have her skim over them a little bit.
