In this session, the party unlocks two NPCs’ appearances in the tavern and defeat the secret boss. They’ve gotten more pieces of the puzzle, now they just have to fit them together.

In these posts, I discuss my roguelike-inspired D&D sessions.

In this session…

The party successfully made it all the way to the end of the temple! Instead of fighting the boss of the temple, they fought the secret boss—the shopkeeper—and thus ensured his appearance in the tavern. They also ensured that the second threshold guardian would appear in the tavern.

Once they got back, they celebrated their victories and got a few more hints about the nature of the two beings responsible for this situation. They also got to level 10!

For next time

I need to make sure the third threshold guardian fight is ready to go! That’s the main thing.

I’ve been slowly adding items to the shop and to the list of random rewards they can get, so I’ll keep expanding that as well.
