Castles & Cruasades Codex Germania - The Witch & the Aftermath - Session One Report- Session Six

  We moved the party of adventurers onto the castle's siege weapons and moved into position to level the weapons at the German two headed infernal dragon. The cult was following the dragon and we poured pit and hot tar onto the cult killing six of the idiots. This action picks right up from the last session from November 7th. We then saw the Orcs from behind the cult and the cry went up! Arrows lobbed into the their ranks from our archers 

The Orcs brought up a huge door breaker and siege engine! Then the ice and fire came in from the dragon! We had a shield wall with fire resistant materials built in and the breath weapon came onto our forces! There was three men lost to the dragon's breath weapon! 
Our wizard brought forth a siege golem that was sleeping under the former temple of Apollo.  This construct came forth with solar like fist screens and punched into the dragon's hide. Our cleric attended to the broken and injured deep in the castle's interior. We sacrificed two of our healing scrolls and four healing potions that we'd found deep in the dungeons. 

 Our lord let loose a magic sword from Roman times called 'light bringer' that shines with Apollo's light and the dragon sensed the blade's release from it's vault. There was a prophecy regarding the dragon's demise at the lord's hand. 
Our fighters and rangers covered our lord Dumunt as the dragon's hell fire rained down on us. Fortunately, our wizard had a magic shield scroll that shielded our fighters and rangers. The dragon froze our fighter mid stride and he died instantly. We ended here! 

Castles & Cruasades Codex Germania - The Witch & the Aftermath - Session One Report- Session Five

 Under a hail of dragon's fire and worse we were pinned down! This action picks right up from the last session on October 31!  We retreated and picked off cultists as we went with arrows and short bows! That dragon wanted us dead and fortunately we had a scroll with a shield spell on it or our goose was cooked literally. 

German dragons are nothing to mess with! And this one had centuries of bones under our feet to prove it! 
The past sacrifices of the cult crunched under our feet as we passed through the tunnel slaying several Orc generators that had been set up by the cult as we went! 
The tunnels smelled of suffering and sulfur in equal measure. We finally broke daylight after our wizard cast fire ball to collapse the tunnel behind us!! 
The infernal dragon's breath of fire and ice nearly cooked and froze us in equal measure. We were highly understaffed to take on a dragon of that age! Not to mention that our witch didn't know about the infernal nature of the beast. Now we've got a very pissed off dragon on our rears! As we were exiting the tunnel a band of goblin like creatures attacked. 
Darrin The Great wasn't having it and used a ring of meteors to take on the German goblin like monsters we weren't taking any chances at this point. And that's when the werewolf like humanoids attacked! Screw this and the druid gave a strange cry that seemed to echo across the forrest surrounding us! Then hundreds of pixie like Fey attacked the were wolves! They fled as Hell fire rained down on them. We were determined to get back too our lord's castle before the dragon and cult attacked! 
We needed too get to the castle fast! And so we sacrificed the scroll of teleportation to instantly find ourselves back on castle grounds with some very surprised German warriors and knights looking at us! 

We were able too warn about the impending dragon attack in less then two hours! We were able to prepare the seige engines and castle defenses then waited! We didn't have long to wait as the two headed infernal dragon appeared on the horizon with his cult in tow! We ended here! 

Castles & Cruasades Codex Germania - The Witch & the Aftermath - Session One Report- Four

 The candy is passed out, the kids in costumes have come, and the dice were rattling tonight! Tonight's game came into it's own with our adventurers coming face to face with dragonic cultists. This week's session picks right up from October 18th's session. 

There were lots and lots of cultists whose eyes were glowing red and there was dead silence staring at the adventurers. Then there was growling as the double headed infernal dragon came around the corner. The party's mage threw up a shield and blocked the incoming fire and ice breath weapons! Thus saving the adventurers even though they took out a fair bit of the cultists. In the background the hag/witch queen commanded her minions. The double headed dragon is a scion of Tiamat or Tiamats Tochter! 

We were pinned down as the dragon rained down ruin on us. The cultists were up to something but we couldn't act on this! The dragons were waiting for our mage's spell to run out. We had our cleric smite the dragon because of it's infernal nature! The cleric succeeded backing off the horrors for a bit and giving them minor damage. We pressed the attack with a volley of arrows and sling stones! We ended here! 

Castles & Cruasades Codex Germania - The Witch & the Aftermath - Session One Report Three

 We ventured deeper into the winding labynth of twisting tunnels and underground passages below the castle. This session picks right up from our last game October 4th & the steamy air clung to our weapons, armor, and our clothes. Something seemed off though. Then the darkness came alive with voices, and red glowing eyes! 

That's when we saw them climbing down the sheer faces of the rocks corrupted goblins! The dark lord's power had seeped from the dragon into it's servants! Their eyes lit the darkness and we were back to back as they slashed at our party with short swords. We saw them wearing pieced together armor including bits of Roman centurion and back up garrison armor. Ancient pieces belonging to the guardians of the tombs buried down here. They screeched at us and attacked. We fended them off with steel and flame! Setting the bodies on fire after they'd been killed. We dived down a series of side passages and almost came face to face with dragon worshiping cultists! 

Castles & Cruasades Codex Germania - The Witch & the Aftermath - Session One Report Two

 Someone or something killed one of our party's shieldmaidens and it was ugly. We picked up our session from September 24 on the blog.  We found Helga flash frozen on the side of a hill just outside of the largest village in the area. We're on the tip of Germany and we've fought off some sorta of Trow near a smattering of forested area. 
The ground here seems almost cursed and we're coming to believe it might be a dragon in the area whose cursed the land like an ancient hate of old. 

We feel this events might be connected to the witch from last session. Local chieftens are being manipulated by the dragon and it's hench monsters. The angle warlords are being put at one another's throats as food stock for the Winter is disappearing. We've located at least two tunnels coming from the Von Horst castle deep into the wilderness. This has all of the hallmarks of inhuman raiders but not a single sign of a wyrm or dragon?! 

We also ran into a local druid whose extremely concerned about the dragon that's been seen in the area. We've broken out the smallter weapons and not the dragon slaying weapons yet. The party is looking for Kobolds or other servants of a dragon. The tunnels below the castle are humid, warm, and damp making the party very nervous. We've come upon seven tombs from the time of the Roman empire and there's definitely been signs of dragon worship in the past as there's paleolithic artwork depicting dragons and humanoid sacrifice in the past. We want to penetrate deeper into the dungeons and tunnels below the castle.
