“Damn, While you were out hunting, the boss’s son got snatched straight out the saddle by the Hideous Sisters. Took Tergon too when he tried to stop them flying off. The Boss thought it be a good idea to bring the him with us on this caravan and along the Old Trade Route to show him the ropes. How was I to know the Hideous Sisters would be in season and looking for a mate. Good job we know where they went. Yeah Red Mesa over yonder. Yes I know that’s in Bandit country, but you and your mates are hard enough to go get the lad. Quick too before the boss gets word and decimates us all. Well if you don’t want to go I’ll make you are all standing in that every tenth position looking all pretty and happy about it.”
Its Saturday night and I continue the tradition of the last three years by running an old-school dungeon crawl using the Crypts & Things system – OD&D tweaked for Swords and Sorcery. For 6 players 3rd level characters.
