Mid-April 2022 gaming update
Sunday’s Greyhawk game (AD&D module A2) went well, and despite a one-month hiatus (I had to cancel our previous session at the last minute), we were straight back into the action with the party having to fight a cloaker. Despite taking great precautions due to the strange droning sound and stunned slaves in the great chamber they’d arrived at, they didn’t plug up their ears and decided to don the conspicuous black cloaks at the end of the chamber – one of which was the cloaker! This adventure was the first appearance of that weird monster in D&D, and it’s sonic attacks (causing Fear, Hold Person) – as well as consistently unlucky roles – really made for a tough and memorable encounter. This was our sixth session of the current module, and we’re about halfway through (no spoilers, please, as players may be looking).
