Really quick summary of this session because not a great deal happened over a long period of time. I'm not feeling this game as much - I love using Manu, and the module is fun, but I don't know if it's the different DM or just the encounters we've found ourselves in. It just doesn't capture me the way the regular game does (sorry, DM, if you're reading).
So it took us forever to get through the battle at the gate, mainly because we could knock the creatures down but only kill them with fire, and I made a couple of errors that meant we didn't get a fire spell going until after M's Dragonborn wizard was dead. He spent the next hour or so making a new character while we levelled up and got new magic items and RPed a bit.
M's new character rocked up and asked us to go and help him with a quest - which we said "sure!" to, simply because we were getting nowhere with what we were supposed to be doing, so maybe if we tried something else?? This new character is a paladin based off a Southern preacher, and B switched from his bard to another paladin because the bard wasn't great in combat.
We ended up going back to the airship that brought us here, and discovered the captain had been kidnapped by these giant things. Using my awesome dire wolf senses, we tracked the beasts and found the captain, being held captive (hehe captive captain) by giant apes. The tabaxi attacked, but while the two paladins were being pounded into the ground, I tried to talk the giant apes around, because apparently they speak Primordial, which only me and the tabaxi took. And again, we had to stop mid combat, so I suspect that next session we'll either be wiped across the floor or have an entire session of battle.
