The Dungeon-in-a-Box adventure “All Souls Night” D&D 5e adventure featuring Sid Onoso continues.
I hope you and your family, like mine and my players’, really, REALLY like making goat noises. Why? Because if you like goat noises, we sure do have a treat for you!
Our intrepid party, consisting of Min Dalrin (the wizard farmer), Dyrah Tanner (the story-collector bard), Gulan Navluv (the dwarf cleric skeptical of everything supernatural), and their leader, Sid Onoso (the Greenwold’s Greatest Detective), have been on the case of the Missing Cheeseman, Piotr Fremanchen, finding clues and pursuing leads throughout the Muttonwood. At the close of last episode, they had just found the cheeseman shackled in a clearing, surrounded by a bunch of hobgoblins riding giant rams. When the hobgoblins started talking to the investigators, the “mildly” pyromaniacal Min immediately responded with FIRE. As we begin this episode, the party is continuing to beat up the kidnappers while trying to free Piotr.
What is your favorite breed of goat, and what sounds does that type make? One of the wonderful things about this one-shot (which started in Episode 34) is that every single player has a completely different goat impression…and they’re all correct, because goats make such a huge variety of weird and fun sounds!
We continue the D&D 5e one-shot adventure from Dungeon in a Box, “All Souls Night.”
It’s taking a long time, but we are posting more of the “All Souls Night” one-shot D&D 5e adventure from Dungeon in a Box, which we recorded in November 2019.
The characters are:
Sid Onoso, the Greenwold’s Greatest Detective (the party leader, an elven rogue)
and her companions: Gulan Navluv (the dwarven cleric of Valor Bane), Min Dalrin (the wizard farmer with a chicken familiar), and Dyrah Tanner (the tall human bard). All the characters are 5th level.
Our story so far: the Greenwold’s Greatest Detective, Sid Onoso, arrived at a country inn with her entourage in tow. There, she was hired to solve a case: find the missing cheesemaker, Piotr Fromanchen, who has not been seen for weeks and is presumed lost in the Muttonwoods. Some goblinoids mistook the party as members of the Black Ram Gang, then after dealing with that interruption, the party continued on to investigate Piotr’s dairy farm. There they found Piotr gone, valuables untouched (including a magic holly-handled sword), footprints everywhere, signs that the cheeseman’s livestock had been massacred and eaten by a mob armed with swords and axes, and bloody clawed handprints around the well. They were attacked by swarming rats, which the party slaughtered. Then they followed the trail of the attackers, and stumbled across some drunken goats. After fighting them, they were confronted by hobgoblins riding giant rams painted black. The hobgoblins demanded a toll of 500 Advantages as recompense for the party’s trespass of the “Bray Glade.” Rather than discuss their options, Min cut off their threats with fire, and the battle began.
Jumping around in time is always interesting, whether you are watching actors perform in films at different periods of their lives, listening to music by a prolific musician out of chronological order, or hearing RPG sessions that refer to games in the speakers’ past which haven’t been released to the public yet. So far in this “All Souls Night” game, the players have referenced the Dungeon-in-a-Box D&D 5e campaign (run by Blake), the Taint game (everyone playing deep sea mining robots), and other science fiction games (which could be either Dread or The Expanse). All of these games were played and recorded before we played this Halloween game in 2019; we’re just very slow at editing and posting more episodes. It’s why we always make sure to mention when each episode was recorded, so that, if you care to, you can piece together the chronological order of our game sessions.
