Pathfinder

So yesterday (that would be Thursday the 30th of December)  Three of my friends came over to my place and we had a Pathfinder game session.  And if you don't know what Pathfinder is, it's D&D 3.5 done RIGHT!  I know some of you may be D&D 4th edition fans, but I personally don't like it.  I really liked 3.5, but I knew that it had it's problems, and Pathfinder fixed most of them.

A little background to our Campaign.  It started out with just two players and my friend "Big Game" as Dungeon Master.  As such both me and my other friend "Full Time" had to play two characters.  Not a big deal, we've done that a lot in our gaming group.Our "primary character" was supposed to be us, transported into a different world by a freak accident.  Over three years (game time) we trained and learned the arts of our chosen class.  I chose tho train to be a Wizard (despite wizards being hunted down) and Mike chose to be a Fighter trained specifically in the Long Bow.  Now, wizards in Pathfinder may choose to dispense with a familiar and choose a bonded Item instead.  This bonded Item gives you special powers and abilities to enhance the spell casting.  Since I was supposed to be playing myself, I chose as my Bonded Item, my Wedding Ring.  Cool eh?  Our other characters were a Dwarven Paladin named Uthor played my me, and a Cleric played by "Full Time."  Later on, "Full Time's" nephew James decided he wanted to play and he created a character.

So, on to the events of last night.  After finishing exploring a wizards tower began in the previous session, we decided to take a shot at the "cave of many wonder"  Which sparked several "Aladdin" references beginning with Full time calling out "TOUCH NOTHING BUT THE LAMP" and ended with my breaking out in song "YOU AINT NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE ME."  Turns out the cave isn't quit as wondrous as it sounds as much as it is a breading ground for Dragons and Wyverns.  After barley defeating two Wyverns (hey we're level 4!) we decided to go back to town before trying to get through the rest. We go back to town and my character decided to go back to the wizards tower where he and Full time's character were presented an opportunity to go back to our world, which we took much to the surprise of Big Game.

Not to worry though, both me and Full time are experts at creating characters and we both had new ones to play in 15 min.  I had a new Swashbuckler (my second favorite class). After greetings, during which Full Times new nameless Rogue lied point blank to the Dwarven paladin that he only reason he was in the stockade (and was escaping at the time)  was because he was hungry and stole some food, claimed he was a homeless orphan child (he was in fact a halfling of 17).  The dwarf took mercy upon him (after failing his attempt at reading his bluff) and took him to the inn to buy him food and took him on as his squire.  My swashbuckler was introduced to the group by a bard he had been telling the tale of his thrilling and and embellished fight with bandits on the highway.


We all ended up back in the wizards tower trying to find the two characters that had gone home.  We met the wizard who sent them home and he decided that he would grant each of us a wish.  Now, anyone familiar with D&D knows that a wish spell is very dangerous.  If you aren't specific enough on what you want, the DM might take this opportunity to screw you over.  You could wish for a +5 vorpal longsword , and he'll say "ok, you get a +5 Vorpal Long Sword that is made out of wood."  Nasty, nasty DMs.  Oh well my swashbuckler wished for an opportunity to showcase his skill, Which he got!

he was transported to the top of a tower where lightning was striking all around an d down three vicious monster all by him self felling the final foe, a Troll, by tripping hm and watching him fall over the edge of the tower with only 5 HP left. 

All in all, a fun night!
