Hot Vegan Orcs | B/X D&D Actual Play
Summary
The hosts play a multi-module BX Basic D&D game, exploring a dungeon with retainers and mapping rooms. They encounter and defeat a giant worm-like creature using a sleep spell before investigating dusty chambers. The party attempts to force open stuck doors, with Callista succeeding after Barth fails. Their rest is interrupted by the sound of approaching enemies speaking Goblin, ending the session on a cliffhanger.
