The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh: A D&D Adventure (Session 5)

Ambush in the woods! Our intrepid group leaves Saltmarsh to venture back
to the alchemist’s mansion to complete their task. However they 
encounter a group of archers who attack them from the cover of the trees
and bushes on either side of the path. A lengthy and almost costly 
fight ensues, with several member of the quartet becoming severely 
injured. It is a struggle as the girls are seemingly outmatched at every
turn. Their arrows, swords and spells missing their opponents again and
again, but eventually our adventurers emerge victorious. They’re 
battered and bruised, some of them unconscious. But all is not lost due 
an exciting realization, they’ve leveled up! That means new skills, new 
tools, and even a new companion.

The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh: A D&D Adventure (Session 3)

When we last saw our group of adventurers, they had entered the alchemist’s mansion. After searching most of the rooms on the ground floor and an uncomfortable encounter with a swarm of spiders, the foursome found themselves in the basement via a trap door, hidden from view in the dark and dust. Unfortunately, they quickly found out they were not alone in the house. A group of bandits, likely smugglers, had taken up residence and were quick to take up a fight. Quite the scuffle ensued, but our adventurers eventually emerged the winners, albeit a bit worse for wear.

After examining their fallen foes for clues to their identities, and any possible loot, further examination of the basement was required. A smaller yet more opulent room was discovered, likely belonging to the ringleader of this group of thugs, full of more clues and loot for the picking. It appeared that the leader, while appearing to be a somewhat skilled mariner, also dabbled in magic.

The more they explored the basement, the more secrets it seemed to reveal, this time a hidden door in the wall opposite the beds presumably used by the gang. The door lead to the wine cellar, which included a set of stairs that would lead to the landing the group originally found themselves in upon first entering the house. 

They didn’t have time to contemplate the seemingly strange layout of the house, as the cellar, while lacking in bottles of wine, did contain a body lying on the stone floor. Unsure if the person was dead or just unconscious, the group received their answer when a large mass of maggots emerged from the body and headed for our heroes. Another fight, thankfully once again emerging victorious but no closer to finding the alchemist’s lab or spell book, the team finds themselves with a decision.

The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh: A D&D Adventure (Session 2)

Several miles away from the seaside town of Saltmarsh sits an abandoned mansion, fallen into disrepair after the owner's presumed death. Most of the town's residents presume it haunted, but there are a few who are curious of the treasures the alchemist who lived there might have left behind. The newest arrivals to Saltmarsh, a group of four castaways from a recent lost ship, are hired to check the house for any spooks or riches. Will they find their fortune or their demise?

Join the Five(ish) Fangirls in a new series, where we dive into the world of playing Dungeons and Dragons. Our DM (Jared) and Chrissy are seasoned D&D players, however the rest of us are brand new, so it'll be even more adventurous as we learn along the way.

*Note: Yes this is our second session, we did record the first one but unfortunately the audio did not turn out. We're still playing with finding the best setup that works for all of us so there will be some growing pains at least in the short term. We hope you stick with us and enjoy the adventure!
