"Darastrix Session, Go!"
Sundays are usually the only days I go out of the house, to hang around places. Usually those times are with the RPGaming group right after Ngo Cho.
Not a bad day really, finally learned some fundamentals on proper application of "sinking" when sparring. Heck, I even learned to do an armlock that utilizes that parries and the sinking we've been doing with the kata.
Well then, we move to the highlight of yesterday: the Darastrix Campaign.
We finally got to start the first session, which was mostly an enemy encounter to see how our characters would work in battle. Pretty good I must say, even though the session was more or less still a test, since its a good way to get a good feel of the campaign as a whole with the first party interaction as well as the first battle... even if they're just puny humans, orcs, and minotaurs.
Hmm... Lemme see...
Finally got a feel as my character in a battle, and even though he wasn't able to do much I am very satisfied with his Defense Rolls, and without even needing to go on Defensive or use AC boosting spells or effects.
Jed had a lot of fun with his Monk-like PrC, doing roundhouse kick on practically every enemy. @_@;;
Martin's character seemed pretty non-combative but really seemed to be able to do good with support, especially since his character is a Bard type PrC.
Carlo definitely was happy, especially when he dealt over 200+ damage with a single attack.
Dino also tested out his character's equipment, save for the gun. I wanted to see if his character would do that Bravestar thing with the gun (forgot the werehorse partner's name).
Mitch's Corgi Swarm was cool and weird, which the latter part made the former even cooler... and weirder.
Now its pretty much just some last ironing-out of the creases and updating our character sheets for a final and definite decision.
Sure, epic campaigns might not have so much history compared to those that actually started from single-digit levels, but it somehow still feels like it, but instead of facing squads of enemies, we now face armies of them. I'm just hoping we don't get to face something so direly epic immediately this early.
