Fourteenth Session – We set up a hasty ambush for the Hound of Hirot and then track it back to its “Yoda hole.”
Well, we figure it should be easy to free the hapless butcher’s son, pretend Podrick is strapped to the feast-stone, and ambush the fabled black dog, easy greasy. Well, it works, though it kicks our asses up and down the standing stones. Nobody told us it could fly!!!
Anyway, we kinda kill it, but it goes gaseous and billows out to the swamp vampire style. Hemp knows that it is retreating to its lair from his shadow demon’s counsel, and tells the rest of the party we have to hustle to track it to its “Yoda hole.” This excites a bunch of comment. You know! The hole! In the swamp! Like Yoda sends Luke into! A Yoda hole!
Well apparently the Mr. Fancy Pants who wrote the adventure calls it the Heart of the Foul Fens instead. I prefer “Yoda hole.” Anyway, we find the hole and loot it but then have to wait till sunset for the Hound to reform and kill it on its turf.
Meanwhile, Gallfred Weasel finds the Cloak of Cheret the Lost. It makes him ultra at hiding in shadows. It makes people forget they saw him. It also makes him forget himself. As DCC is all about mutating yourself in ultimately unfortunate ways to get superpowers, he is very jazzed, and use of this cloak will become a recurring theme in the rest of the campaign.
Anyway, the fight goes a lot better this time – Ned gets a super duper magic missile roll and then Podrick stabs it to death with the wolf-spear! Victory! And I go to third level (we’re not all leveling at the same time; I’m not in the lead but not in the rear either.)
