The Chronicle of Thraxx – Episode 6 – The Candyland Chronicles 3
Recap: We pick up this week, continuing our journey to track the Arch-Hag (Granny Nut?)
This week we began our journey approaching a ziggurat with some sort of meat grinder at the top. A slew of Frost Giants, accompanied by 3 Abominable Yetis, were feeding people into the grinder to press them into blood wine for some sort of statue “god”.
The party deliberated for a moment on how to best cast dishonorable spells at the enemies. Thraxx grew tired of their dishonorable ways, charging headfirst into the fray. Getting a great roll on initiative, Thraxx sprinted and screamed towards his enemies. Unfortunately, they surrounded him, 3 Frost Giants and 2 Yetis, and paralyzed him for a few rounds. They tried and tried to whittle Thraxx down, mostly succeeding, but Thraxx’s will, or posture, could not be broken.
After a few rounds of being paralyzed, and the surrounding enemies being unable to break, or move, Thraxx, he broke his paralysis, only for one giant to decide to throw him into the meat grinder. Thraxx obliged, allowing the foolish giant to give him a free ride. While approaching, Thraxx persuaded the giant to “allow him to throw himself into the grinder”. The giant obliged, releasing Thraxx.
Thraxx climbed the rest of the ziggurat, looked back at the giant while at the top (and near their idol), and called out “This is how you swing a club!” before clubbing the statue. Thraxx batted and rode the statue down the ziggurat while the rest of the party picked away at the weak giants.
Thraxx shattered the idol, stole its ruby eyes, and proceeded to slay the final giant by jumping upon its face, knocking it down the ziggurat, and breaking its neck.
Beaten and bloodied, but victorious, the party rested for a time before proceeding on their hunt. At the end of their rest, they continued onwards, coming across a chocolate lake with a dock and some cultists.
Before Thraxx could charge across the docks, the party’s warlock summoned a fireball upon the cultists, slaying them and enraging their kraken “god”. Thraxx, using his boots of water walking, charged across the chocolate pond to grapple the kraken and drag it from the muck… he failed against a foe far larger than himself, being grappled and thrown. As he rose and went for a second round, the kraken grabbed him and swallowed him… Just where Thraxx wanted him!
From within, Thraxx ignited his Chime of Opening (Flametongue Greatsword) and slashed it from within, forcing it to vomit him up. Having taken substantial damage, and being hit point blank with a lightning bolt, Thraxx stealthily walked across the chocolate pond behind the kraken and slashed at it.
The cowardly creature retreated beneath the muck, emerged a distance away to swallow two other party members, and then allowed the dishonorable mages to kill it from within. Thraxx would be disappointed he could not claim a trophy from the kraken, but this hunt had proven to be quite successful thus far.
Retrospective: This was another fun game, albeit, quite difficult. I spent much of this game stunned or paralyzed, but Keith is a versatile GM that allows us to play other NPCs in cases like this. As always, his game running and terrain are on point and I look forward to next week’s game.
