Last Saturday (June 12), was the debut of my goliath barbarian, Irusk. For those who don't know what a goliath is, they are about 7'2"-7'8" (2.18m-2.34m) tall, and weigh between 280-340 lbs (127-154 kg). Their skin tends to be light brown to gray with markings of a darker color. Male goliaths are bald and female goliaths grow their hair long and braid it. Goliaths tend to live on top of the mountains (unlike dwarves who live inside mountains), and as a result they tend to be rather athletic, particularly when it comes to jumping.
The group as a whole hasn't changed; we still have Jam, the eladrin avenger, and Lynette's still playing a ranger (elf this time), and Scott's character is named Arbek, a dragonborn warlord (who grew up with dwarves).
We drove the cart we found in the previous session back to town, sold what we could and negotiated a deal with the mayor. He'd register the house as belonging to us, if we found out what was going on with a lighthouse nearby. After that we talked to Kate, who has been our primary employer, into keeping an eye on the cabin when we can't and to hire some people to take care of it for us.
On the way to the lighthouse we had a small encounter with an owlbear which we dispatched pretty easily. At the lighthouse we found a couple tents inhabited by orcs and ogres. Jam and the ranger stayed out of range while Arbek and Irusk walked up to the tents and opened up with some aggressive negotiations. The first battle went pretty well. The second, ehh, the dice gods temporarily left us. Irusk even came close to dieing, but the warlord used his martial skills to bring the barbarian back to fighting form.
Mostly we just found gold and a few gems. I think the only magic item we found was a Vicious Falchion (two-handed scimitar).
Next session: Into the lighthouse!
