Clinton's Core Classics

You've been butt-touched After defeating the Taiga Giant guarding the watchtower overlooking the entrance to the Valley of the Black Tower, the Warriors of Light find themselves with a prisoner of war to deal with.  Because that's always worked out so well for our heroes in the past...  Once that problem is properly dealt with, our heroes review the land and decide what steps they would like to take next.  Reetin demands Boops from the wand of invincibility.  Null's actually kinda cute.  Seres has no interest in hearing the evil monologue.  Harper can't even start playing.

The party has ambushed the outer defenses of the lookout tower, and now they need to play it cool or risk blowing their cover to the rest of the encampment.  Those who come to investigate end up being a much bigger threat than initially thought, which throws a wrench in the plans of our heroes.  Will they be able to adapt, or will our heroes be felled before they make it to the camp?  Seres takes a hit.  Reetin pulls aggro.  Harper heals Reetin, and not Seres.   The Curtain Rises Gloom Horizon Just As Soon Legend of One Hitman Rising Tide Clash Defiant Final Count See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TFrom atop the Iron Peaks, the warriors of light have finally spotted the Valley of the Black Tower: Jorgenfist.  The surrounding area is positively infested with giants of all different heritage - setting up camps around the central fortification.  After some scouting ahead, the party devises a plan - but will that plan survive contact?  Seres scouts ahead.  Harper bounces from cover-to-cover.  Reetin places all of his modifiers on the stack at once.  What even is Null?

Atop a narrow mountain path along the way to Jorgenfist, the Warriors of Light come across a scouts on patrol.  The threat of being knocked off the mountainside is present, and the giant forces of Mokmurian are hardly tolerant of intruders in their lands.  Will our heroes make it by unscathed, or will these foes teach them firsthand what happends to the little folk in giant land?  Null finishes downloading updates.  Mistress Harper dishes out the healing.  Reetin improvises.  Seres doesn't like Harper's tune.

We forgot to do the intro this week, so we are: Harper - Sabrina Reetin - Nathan Seres - Aidan Null - Connor We return to our heroes engaged in combat with the Hill Giants protecting the Storvald Stairs.  Seres contemplates whether or not she has actually stolen anything yet.  Harper buffs the team from relative safety.  Reetin hopes his party is doing alright, and can you smell what the robot is cooking?

The party travels through Ravenmoor continuing on the giant's trail, and they can't escape the rumors of giants roaming the Varisian countryside.  That must mean they are getting close.  The warriors of light can't decide whether it is best to keep or dispose of their looted liquor.  The entire party goes invisible.  The Robot flies ahead.  Reetin does all the damage.

The Warriors of Light trek through lycanthrope infested woods and across the plains of Varisia hot on the trail of the giant menace responsible for the raid on Sandpoint.  The party relies on Seres Mobile.  Harper cures serious wounds.  Null busts out the 45 sided dice.  Reetin should be making a new character.  Roll20 is good to all of us.

After failing to gather additional information from a captive giant, the team buries their dead and say their final goodbyes to the late hero.  The surviving members level up and investigate the giant raid and what their goals were.  Following some study, the gang gears up and gets ready to head out hot on the trail of their giant quarry.

A Mixed Success The raid on Sandpoint comes to an end and it is a mixed success for the attackers.  Although chaos and madness have been sewed, the Warriors of Light were able to retrieve the item being coveted by Teraktinus.  Null evaluates the situation, Reetin doesn't want to fight a fucking dragon, Seres helps the town and Harper inspiring courage echoes though the town remains.

The Giant Raid on Sandpoint progresses as buildings are burned and townsfolk are kidnapped.  Dire bears roam the streets while a dragon circles above.  Can the Warriors of Light topple these foes before the city is sacked?  Tune in to find out!

Just when things seem their darkest, a new ally appears from the shadows to assist our heroes in the defense of Sandpoint.  Teraktinus seems hellbent on reaching The Old Light, one of the ancient landmarks within the city - although for what nefarious purpose remains unknown.

This week on Rise of the Runelords, the Giant raid has started and Sandpoint is under siege!  Will our heroes be able to best these beasts?  And what else might they have to support them in their raid?  Seres is knocked below zero, Harper brings her back up above zero, Ullr is knocked below zero and Reetin knocks them below zero.

Welcome back to a brand new season of Clinton's Core Classics: Rise of the Runelords.  This week - our heroes trek back from Magnimar to the humble beginnings in Sandpoint and alert the town authorities that a Giant raid is incoming.  The team does what they can to prepare the town, and vigilantly stand guard against any threats that may be inbound.

The Hook Mountain Ogres have been defeated once and for all, but the dangers in Varisia are far from eliminated.  With evidence that the town of Sandpoint is about to fall victim to a Giant raid, the heroes scramble to turn in their quests, get paid, and head back to defend the town.  Harper identifies the loot, Reetin and Harper level up, Seres can't find anything and Ullr's mic is still malfunctioning.

This week - the fight against Barl Breakbones continues.  Will the giant live up to his name, or can our heroes fell their biggest foe yet?  Ullr gets his dagger back, Harper identifies the loot, Reetin runs out of things to throw, Seres lets arrows fly and Clinton skips turns.

Reetin rolls for PTSD, Harper inspires courage, Seres considers pythagorean range, and Ullr needs to fix his microphone.

The Warriors of light find themselves within Hook Mountain where they find three young ladies... except they aren't young ladies at all.  Ullr and Reetin deftly escape entrapment before an all-out brawl ensues.  Reetin disarms his foes, Harper inspires courage, Ullr climbs the cage and Seres may very well have never been here to begin with.

Our heroes have made easy work of the remaining Hook Mountain Ogre forces, and continue their quest to find Lamatar Bayden.  Seres regrets scouting ahead, Harper doesn't know what the party can do about the Undead, Ullr closes his eyes and Reetin practices his art.

We're back in the Hook Mountain Clanhold, where a dozen or so more ogres stands between the Warriors of light and a moments respite.  Ullr relishes in the brawl, Reetin follows the plan, Seres reintroduces the Z-axis and Harper breaks tradition.
