And since I have nothing to do, I guess I will use this as a CO Diary...
The first session was 3 weeks ago (we play only once per month
), and aside from some "small" mistake from the rogue, it was a cakewalk...
Current party: Human Ranger (probably going for Swift Hunter), Human Rogue (aiming for Chameleon), human Crusader (planning to grab Paladin of Tyranny till 4, then going Crusader again) and Illumian Wizard (me).
Brief history: I have to go looking for some random component as my job. The ranger and the rogue fell in Ravenloft, while me and the Crusader are residents. Anyway, we suddenly got thrown together in a forest, then 4 skellies were attacking an old man and a little druid girl. It's rescue time!
This encounter was so easy it made me kinda sad... I Backbiter'ed one (the DM threw me a "you will suffer soon" look), while the crusader used Charging Minotaur and OHKO'ed another, then the last 2 got owned by the rogue and the ranger.
After that, the old man know someone that can help, then got us through a cave. Apparently, the whole cave was a trap and our Rogue triggered one. An iron golem came from the wall, OHKO'ed the rogue and started hunting us (hopefully the girly's wolf saved the rogue's ass).
I tried using Grease, but it seems that the DM rolled a 20 or something and the thing kept going. Then we got cornered, and the iron golem captured the old man. A exit appears for us (apparently it was supposed to the old man to be captured...).
After that, we arrive in Barovia. I start looking for the guy to help me, and then suddenly some random mook get the girl as hostage. End of session (and 1.2k xp).

Meh, a wizard's early career sure is hard...
