‘Critical Role’ Takes Over MCM London

D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 74
Gimble Timbers ran towards Strahd, Sun-Sword raised. He struck the vampire. Strahd let out a mighty howl and, seeing that the tide had turned against him, his ghouls defeated, he began to sink silently through the floor. Gimble struck out again only for his blade to cut through the air above the ground where Strahd had just stood. Strahd had been swallowed by the castle and escaped to lick his wounds. Read More
D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 73
In the depths of Castle Ravenloft Rahadin looked up at Baräsh. His stare was painful. With it came the sounds of a thousand desperate screams. A cacophony of yells, screeches and pleading filled the paladin’s mind as the dusk elf smiled and leaned forward… Read More
D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 72
The skeletons dealt with, calm descended on the barracks. A subterranean mist hugged the ground, making the rough stone slabs treacherous as the Associates composed themselves following the fray. A quick search of the rooms turned up nothing of interest and so the heroes left, scorching the area behind them. Read More

D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 71
The rain hammered down on the Associates until they were wet to their souls. The high walls that encircled the keep leered down at them, silently mocking their futile efforts to find a secret way in. They tried circling the keep only to be stopped half way by an impossible portcullis. Through the gaps between its imposing iron bars they could see a chapel on the edge of the grounds. There was no way to it. Eventually, soaked, they gave in. They trudged silently toward the dark wooden doors at the front of the keep. This was the only way in to Castle Ravenloft, and their last chance to turn back. Read More

Curse of Strahd: Session 69
As they reached the bridge at the far side of the crossroads, the Associates felt the ground rumble and shake. They turned to see the Abbot, still kneeling, slamming his fat fists into the dirt. Each strike sent tremors through the earth until it started to crack and rend. Read More

Our heroes have been stuck in Barovia, desperately trying to escape whilst dogged by vampires, zombies, witches, and everything else that goes bump in the night.

Gimble Timbers gladly accepted the sword from Kosef. He still harbored a grudge, but the Sun Sword was a good start towards bridging the divide. Read More
D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 66
Victor’s body crumpled on the ground. We hadn’t encountered Geas before, and are in no hurry to do so again. It’s a spell that compels you to follow instructions which, if you refuse, causes massive psychic damage, as Victor found out. Read More

D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 64
Session 64 in our online Curse of Strahd Dungeons and Dragons campaign took place last night via Skype and it started with an encounter with angry revenants. To avoid a fight, we decided to try something new: diplomacy. We have been playing online once a week since April 2017 and never before has this approach worked. Read More
D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 63
With the two skeletal revenant guards dealt with, the party had to figure out their next move. Victor and Brundle collected Gimble and Ireena between them and the six heroes stood in the battlements surveying Argynvostholt mansion below. It must have been pretty impressive in its prime. Now it just looked worn out and full of holes. Deciding luck was on their side, and without plan or judgement, they all leapt down the 10-foot drop landing on a pile of rubble in the center of the open-topped room.

D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 62
Seeing the seven earthbound, undead revenants tumbling from the third-story window, Victor acted quickly, summoning an invisible wall of force between them and the party.

D&D curse of Strahd: Session 60
Suddenly the clouds parted above her and she caught a glimpse of the full moon. Another howl went up, followed by many more. A crash of thunder. A flash of lightning. Engong picked up the child. She gently folded her robes around the babe and swung her round onto her back. She raised her fists and waited for the onslaught as it started to rain. Read More
D&D Curse of Strahd: Session 59
Last night was the 59th session in our ongoing, online Curse of Strahd D&D campaign. Only two of our party could play, which is the fewest we have had so far, but we still managed to explore a new area and almost die in the ruins of Argon Vost mansion. Read More
