Session 13 Phandelver Tabletop Campaign

25 April 2024 (6:30-9:00 CST) 2.5 hr session; cumulative: 38.5 hrs

The party began the session in Shallowtown, maintaining their alliance with Dwargon, who is enriching himself at the expense of innocent lives by aiding the slavers who have been kidnapping individuals from the Surface.

The group began searching for kidnappers deeper in the Underdark, and encountered a pair of purple worms of great size and girth. Though ineffectually aided by Kevin the Cave Lizard, the party emerged victorious, not least due to Feyre's use of her Death Word heroic deed.

The PCs tracked down and attacked a large party of slavers a few miles from Shallowtown, decimating them and sparing nobody for later questioning. Rescuing another dozen victims, they returned them to the surface by a circuitous route that didn't go through Shallowtown, for the party doesn't want the kidnappers learning that they may be receiving aid from someone in Shallowtown.

This was the second group of kidnap victims the party has rescued (the first included the powerful young sorceress Cerinna — who has also been investigating these kidnappings). The Phandalin Four's notoriety on the surface is growing. They're heroes who rescue the innocent!

The group attained level 10 as the session ended. The Dungeon Master released a survey to the players. Survey responses from two of the three players show they enjoy being formidable in combat, roleplaying, and socializing during the game sessions.
