Lost Mines of Phandelver – Session 09 Side A

Today we discuss hallways, combat, and the intricacies of opening and closing doors as a game mechanic! Oh, and there's a frog puppet.

Hello Listeners!

We are back this week with Episode 18, Session 09, Side A of the Lost Mines of Phandelver series! Which is the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

In this series you’ll hear Alex play a character named Hal, who is a level 2 Bard when we meet him. Kaetlyn plays the enigmatic Uitzash, a level 2 Warlock in service to a dark patron. Kolton decided to play Olo, a level 2 Tortle Barbarian. While Matt plays a level 2 Grung Wizard. Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure, so the players are completely free to find paths to victory and resolution options outside of combat and murder to solve their problems.

We start this session, as always, with a recap. We then quickly move into discussing the intricacies of hallway construction and combat! Glorious combat! This time with bugbears with exotic and interesting accessories.

Additionally, Matt made this:

Wrarp the Grung hand puppet!

We talk about this in the intro of this episode! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did at the table.

Please, enjoy the show!
