Redemption! We ended up being short some players (Zyn and Shadowale couldn’t make it; it’d be a while before Shadowale returned as it turned out… work got very busy for him), but I decided to press on, and see how it went with a few absences. This session basically played in reverse of the previous one. The party started with the cultists, and ended up with the spiders.
But both parts were way more satisfying this time around.
The previously poorly presented cult stuff was spun into something unique and interesting. Much RP was done this second attempt, with even hand motions between Turnin and the Steves on the bucket line to help set the mood.
Then the previously (very) lame spider fight was transformed into something really memorable (at least to me). It was our most dynamic fight to date, and that’s something I really want to encourage going forward. I'll have another, lengthier post touching on my thoughts regarding what I feel makes a good fight/encounter in the near(ish) future.
Suffice it to say, I was really, really happy with how were were able to turn it around for this session.
