The party decided to deal with the threat to the gnome thief illusionist, and wait for one of the magic users to get his intellect restored before heading towards Cliffcrest.
I also present the world premiere of the new theme song for my blog, by TJ Drennon of Occult Orifice Outrage. Be sure to check out his Patreon.
Here are the lyrics:
Knows how to wield a sword,
Spells arcane and divine
Upon his shield's a wolf
And if you have the time
He's got a mean sales pitch
He even makes it rhyme
And if you need a job
This is his go to line:
Some people wanna die poor,
I can't imagine why,
They say 'once you've bought the farm, There's nothing left to buy.'
But if you want to die rich,
gold coins upon both eyes
Then raise up you long sword,
Follow me, and die.
Yeah, raise up your longsword, follow me, and die.

Yesterday was the restart my AD&D game after a two year hiatus.
8 players/characters, 3 of them new players/characters.
We got the three new characters into the party and they investigated stories of a two headed giant and found one.
They had a plan, but one spell choice changed that plan.
But they managed to snag victory from the jaws of defeat.

My granddaughter is fascinated with magic as portrayed in cartoons, like Disney's Frozen. Lately, she is hooked on magic wands. Her grandmother got her a tablet and her parents got her a dozen styluses, just in case. Today, one such stylus is her wand.
I think this is a great example of role play, she is all in when it comes to being who she says she is. She likes rolling dice, but she's not quite ready for sitting still to play an RPG. She just turned four last Sunday.
