Kingmaker: Two Rangers, One Quiver

I know a lot of times I’ve droned on about some of the more banal moments of the game but this was fun filled session and like I promised before here are the juicy bits.
We talked about our plans and how we got our asses kicked last session. Basically, we decided to take on the Nymp Queen’s incursions on our turf first and then take the fight to her.
Frost Giants sound like a cross between the Swedish Chef and an extra from Deliverance. The combination of Draconic Reservoir, Detonate and Fireball seems to do a very good job of reinforcing that “Fire! BAD!”
We absolutely hate Mandragora’s. When a third of the party is incapacitated due to blood lose and confusion, well, things like that tend to make monsters a favorite target for player characters.
The best thing to take out a Ranger is another Ranger. It’s even more interesting when both of them are specialized in archery and don’t normally face that much direct damage. The reaction was much like that of Captain Hammer (“Oh, I’m in pain. I think this is what pain feels like”) or as was said around the table, “So that’s what it feels like when I fill something full of arrows? I’m a horrible person.” But our ranger did end up joining “So this is what dead feels like?” club.
And, of course, we did more talking about the up coming Classic Deadlands campaign. We got about two sessions left in Kingmaker, kids.
