The City of the Dead - It's a Wrap! Mostly.
Friday night we played session 8 of my City of the Dead D&D game. Eight sessions, on a plan of 5 originally, and finally we're done! ...Mostly. 😅
The group got to the penultimate challenge, the climax, of the story. They had to rescue deceased Father Baynor's body from the clutches of a powerful ancient undead evil so he could be brought back from the dead. ...Brought back as human again, not as a twisted, undead horror himself!
The group recovered his body, fought off but didn't manage to destroy two undead entities that were guarding it, and recovered most of his possessions, too. They still need to actually get him raised from the dead once back in the bigger city of Durendal, but that's something that can be meta-gamed. And coming back to destroy those last two undead powers? Well, that's potentially the story arc of an encore adventure!
