5e Grognard

Time to start the final chapter of the Saltmarsh series of adventures, U3 The Final Enemy.  With the knowledge that the sahuagin were gathering in force practically on their doorstep, the council in Saltmarsh has hired the party yet again, this time to do a reconnaissance in force to the sahuagin lair.   Previous sessions can be found here . Our party consists of 4 members.  Each of my sons is playing two characters, who are 4th level.  We've used some backgrounds and subclasses from around the blogosphere, and I'll be linking them...

Yes, I know, I haven't posted in awhile, but real life got a bit busier.  More importantly, though, I was prepping and getting ready to start a second group.  My "main" group is my three children.  14 year old daughter, and 9 year old twin boys.  My daughter lives with my ex, and is over every other weekend.  Other activities often coincide with her visits, so we don't always play as often as we like.  My boys have been wanting to do a group with just them for our other weekends. I had started checking out adventure paths, and narrowed it down to a handful.  Left it up to the boys to decide on our theme, and Skull and Shackles won.  In my readings of the AP and some reviews I decided I really didn't like the start of it, and instead decided to go classic and start with the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. Our party consists of 4 members.  Each boy is playing two characters, starting at 3rd level.  We've used some backgrounds and subcl...
