Session Recap: Chaos Scar and The Rejects
Remember what I said before about being ready to bring my A-game to the Chaos Scar?
Yeah. Anyways...
I seriously underestimated this adventure, and that's saying something. The Chaos Scar isn't just challenging, it occasionally borders on the ridiculous! I mean, yes, we did succeed, but it was pretty rough going.
The encounter begins as we scale down web-covered walls into the lair of the “ghost spiders”. Actually, we should have just used Benny's 100' of rope, but we failed to indicate our intentions clearly to Jeff.
(This isn't the first time something like this has happened; see my Scales of War report for details.)
Anyways, even as Jeff began to place the enemies, we ran into some trouble; a slime lurked among the webs, waiting to attack! It engulfed Sammo, Tim's Seeker, inflicting 9 acid damage, restraining him, and, of course, 5 ongoing acid.
Here we go again...
Return to the Chaos Scar: Adventure Recap and Lessons Learned
Finally, the second Chaos Scar adventure! Last time, we helped free a ruined temple of Erathis from a small horde of undead, which proved to be a very tough fight for my Avenger, with his only saving grace being his ridiculous AC.
This time, we found ourselves facing a truly bizarre menace; a shadowy cult of an unknown God, in league with creepy crawly arachnids and Ettercaps! Our foes would strike from the shadows, hiding in darkness and firing crossbows at us, only to vanish an instant later.
If you guess that our opponents were Drow...you'd be wrong! In an interesting twist, we were up against the new Duergar, a race of evil Dwarves who had defiled an old temple of Moradin (the major Dwarf deity) and filled it with eight-legged horrors.

Now I'm known as a Mechanics guy. What makes a game tick has always fascinated me; I've studied game design and philosophy for some time now. In the beginning, I was a role play over rules guy; my first few games were more 'rule of cool' than anything else. And they quickly spiralled out of control.
I usually give R.J. credit for making me into the gamer I am today; like me, he loves insane, off-the-wall builds. Unlike me, he seems to really enjoy making a DM's head explode (ok, I do too, but I try to harness my darker nature for good!). This usually involves some crazy half-baked plan that has as much to do with rolling a 20 on your 'Fast Talk DM' check as anything else.
Don't get me wrong though, this is your go-to guy if you ever want to kill your party off; he makes the guys at Flying Buffalo (of Grimtooth's Traps infamy) look like choirboys! In his opinion, S1 and S2 are "tame", and he could dream up better death traps in his sleep. I believe it!
