GURPS DF Session 49 - Caves of Chaos, part 3
The game picked up where the previous week had ended, mid-fight with a group of hobgoblins that had ambushed the party. We had paused that session with 4 of the 9 hobgoblins having been defeated, and 2 more had just turned to flee...
Session Date: Thursday 21 November 2019
Party roster:
Miao Miao, cat-folk swashbuckler, 391 points (PC)
- Jenkins, human servant, 186 points (NPC Ally)
- Brother Warian, human monk (initiate), 177 points (NPC Ally)
Davin Emberwood, human wizard, 326 points (PC)
Llandor the Gray, wood-elf scout, 290 points (PC)
Sister Miriam Suntemple, human cleric, 297 points (PC)
Childebert "Bert" Ingoberger, halfling locksmith (thief), 251 points (PC)
Location: Edge of Umbradaan Forest, Borderlands between Ioscany and Pyrrhon
At the start of the session I offered the players the choice of hand-waving the fight and letting all the remaining hobgoblins escape, or playing out the fight to the end. Collectively they chose "fight", for a combination of IC and OOC reasons. What they perhaps didn't anticipate was that it turned out that the choice "fight" had the suffix of "to the bitter end".
Resolving the fight took the whole session, and ended with Jenkins and Miriam unconscious, and Davin reeling but still standing. I will leave the details to the players' in-character accounts, for which I will give my usual 1 CP experience bonus.
