• Reinhardt, a human fighter who likes fighting with a large hammer. 🐔

Today’s adventure

Our adventurers awake in their tents next to a stone structure. Oblivious to an obvious trap, Apollo finds his knee impaled on a spike. Ouch. On the plus side, the crew is now aware of the trap. Delta, Reinhardt, and Blaze easily avoid the danger.

But there’s a new danger: a werebat.

Delta inflicts some substantial wounds and the werebat responds in kind. Apollo slashes with his sideways scythe, but misses. Reinhardt connects his hammer to the werebat’s face. Blaze curses the werebat with Hexblade’s curse and swings his great sword. Critical hit! Delta does a spin attack with excalibur and persuades the werebat to transform into a bat and flee. As it flies away, it lets out a painful screech.

Our adventures enter a new room and find themselves mysteriously invigorated. They continue exploring until they find a large cavern. From the middle of the room they hear a voice, “I want to suck your blood!” It’s another werebat; bigger and stronger 😱.

It might be their imagination: the room begins to rumble with thunderous sound. Delta starts things off with a critical hit. The werebat returns the favor by making a critical slash with his claws. Delta collapses. Apollo successfully strikes with his sideways scythe. Reinhardt swings his hammer…but misses. Blaze connects with his great sword and the werebat explodes. The crew heals Delta and Reinhardt recovers a cloak…a bat cloak.

Until next time…
