The Chateau of Doom, Part 2 – A War in Scarlet: Chapter 22

The Heroes subdue an old man and surround a surrendering dragonborn with swords at the ready. What will the dragon hating paladin do?

This adventure was great for me because it really got us back into the role-playing of our characters. While we spent months chasing around a stupid map-making kit, none of us were doing anything remotely related to our characters and the larger story. And then we found Lasarker.

Now we’re robbing an evil man with a penchant for sorcery while fighting a dragonborn, forcing Cendia to face some of her innate prejudices. Not only that, by the end of the episode, Claire and Taruil learn a shocking secret that sets them back on their paths. It’s been great fun getting to dig deep into the role-playing aspect of our characters and seeing the story move forward in some interesting and unexpected ways.

What would you do in Cendia’s shoes? How would you handle someone who couldn’t be killed? Let us know in the comments.
