WLD on OpenRPG - October 19, 2005
My World’s Largest Dungeon game via OpenRPG kicked off yesterday. I was pretty happy with the way it went. It took a while to get started as everybody picked out a mini for their character and played around with OpenRPG. Thus it was a very short session. Hopefully next week we can get things rolling more quickly.
The initial group consisted of:
Jamendithas: an elven rogue
Cimmer: a dwarven rogue
Marrec: a human paladin
Riamara: a loresong faen greenbond
*******************
I started them off in room A1. They examined the doors carefully and headed into A2. Cimmer and Jamendithas rolled some impressive sneak checks and jumped the orcs huddled in the NE corner of the room. Cimmer’s two crowbars were deadly and Marrec managed to get an attack in so that two of the orcs were knocked out before they could move. The third orc was lucky in that he kept evading the blows until Cimmer’s crowbar smashed his kneecaps. The party tried to intimidate the orc into telling them what lay ahead, but after some truly pitiful rolls the orc just kept wailing in despair without telling them much of anything. Tiring of this, Cimmer bashed the orc into a bloody pulp.
Marrec and Riamara were not too impressed by this attack, but they let it slide. The rogues wanted to torture the remaining orcs for information. Marrec was opposed to this, while Riamara was willing to let necessity guide her. Cimmer tied the orcs up and that where we ended the session.
******************
I liked the way everyone played their characters. Cimmer and Jamendithas seem extremely amoral. Marrec seems to be morally upright and yet willing to let others act according to their values. Riamara seems a bit distant and pragmatic. The group seems paranoid enough that they may well survive the World’s Largest Dungeon.

(After a number of pitiful intimidate rolls) Jamendithas: “I question our questioning skills”
