Saturday's party was more entertaining than expected, but I still left relatively early as planned.

Sunday was mostly spent trying to get tv/video capture cards to work. My new one causes a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bluescreen whenever a program tries to use it. Windows being windows I can't manually change the IRQ assignment (although I have learnt how to enable that feature - during the next reinstall). Latest drivers don't help. I'm at a bit of a loss, particularly given that according to the box this card was "designed for Windows XP".

Sunday gaming we were down a player which was a bit unfortunate. The PCs charged into a situation which might be a bit much for them. I got to have fun with a spellcaster, a couple of heavy hitters and lots of mooks. We had to break the session mid-combat, and we're now on a two-week break for the Xmas/NY period.

It's windows... of course it's not going to work. Nothing ever works.

So what did happen Sunday? What are we facing?

Umm. Descended into the crater. Visited a friendly native village. Found out about the taboo (to them) island in the lake with the ruined city, and mention of the renegade/heretic tribe that lives there. Canoes out to the island. Looked around a bit. Took the obvious entrance into the dungeon. Ambushed by some sentries, chased them back into the middle of the main living area. Tribe congregates to beat on intruders.

So far the party has identified 1 cleric capable of casting 3rd level spells and a fighter with spring attack and 1-handed bastard-swordsness, some tough fighters and about 2 dozen mook fighters including archers. A well placed web and wall of stone have evened things up a bit for the moment, but the party is falling back. No count has been taken of the non-combatants.

Your character has cast shield, mage armor (dispelled) and scorching ray. Hasted. Raging. Taken 15 points of damage.
