On Thursday, I played Well of Woe with my CoL human paladin,
Stannis Strongheart, who worships the Silver Flame. I was one of
the lucky ones who didn't have a group the devolved into PvP
at the end, because we had 5 CoL and 1 Blackwheel member. It
was a blast, although around 4 pm I looked around the table and
3 of the guys who had come together were looking kinda sleepy.
After we took a break we got back on track. The mod had some
great memorable moments, good combats, and a decent puzzle.

On Friday I played the two Covenant mods. The first one started off
really well and got me into the story pretty quickly. However,
there was a pretty big logical flaw, as it asked the group to let an
NPC leave their presence after he had ask for them to guard him.
No reasonable party would let that happen - since it looks either
really stupid or really suspicious or both. The DM stopped the game
to look for the mod's author, but came back and we worked around
it and let the module continue. Later on, after a big fight, we were
out of spells, and down some hp, so decided to take a rest - we are
25 point buy level 1 characters after all! However, this basically
ended the module because our characters "lost the trail". This all
happened two hours after we had started playing - AFTER we had
to wait for an hour for two guys to make new characters instead of
choosing fastplays. I don't think there should be any way for a module
to just end 2 hours in if all of the characters are still alive. I can't
wait to see/hear about all of the stuff in the mod that we didn't get
to. I wish the DM had imparted more of a sense of urgency, he didn't
make that obvious at all.

Anyway, this was somewhat made up for by getting August as my
DM for Crisis of Faith, and he did a great job. The story was good, the
investigation was good, his NPCs were alive and interesting, and the
final battle was very memorable.

I also got August as DM for Crisis of Faith.


He was awesome. I had a druid and a lot of bad rolls.
