Dungeons and Drogans

"Destiny brought together a group of unlikely heroes who became intermingled in a plot by a dubious villain with no real goal other than villainy itself."

—The Dungeon Master C.J. summarizing the first adventure

Dungeons and Drogans is a group of gamers who record their intrepid and often humorous adventures in Dungeons and Dragons. The group started over a year ago with the official module: Keep on the Shadowfell and is currently playing through the Thunderspire Labyrinth adventure. The series has gradually improved in quality and grown to include several players.

The players and their characters are as follows:

• Thomas - Jacques the wizard (retired)
• Nick - Coltaine the warlord
• Dave - Rekoj the warden (deceased) and Rhekd the cleric
• Stephen - Autumn the rogue (deceased) Morgan the paladin (deceased)
• John - Zacsarrd the cleric (deceased) Zaxzarrd the cleric (brother of Zacsarrd)(deceased) Zook the druid (deceased) Sorrow the wizard
• Doug - Win'Tyr the ranger

Dungeons and Drogans provides examples of the following tropes:

• An Axe to Grind: Rekoj wielded a battleaxe and Coltaine carries a halbred
• Axe Crazy: Rekoj, to the point where he quite literally stomped several kobolds to a pulp
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Zook being drowned and battered to death by the cherub statue trap
• Deadpan Snarker: Coltaine
  • Coltaine: "Oh, I've a great idea, let's throw his body into the sort of magical circle and see if he turns into some kind of undead abomination."
  • Rekoj: "That's actually a good idea."
  • Coltaine: "It's a terrible idea."
• Elaborate Underground Base: Shadowfell Keep and Thunderspire Labyrinth
• Funny Background Event: When Rhekd and Coltaine are going over the plans, Win'Tyr begins to attack their hostage.
• Kill It with Fire: Sorrow's preferred method
• Knight in Sour Armor: Coltaine and Win'Tyr
• Loveable Rogue: Splug and Rusk
• Only Sane Man: Coltaine, especially in the earlier sessions
• Suicidal Overconfidence: Zacsarrd and his brother both had a penchant for charging while wearing cloth armor
• Tempting Fate: The way the Drogans buried Zaxzarrd
  • Coltaine: "So you want to bury him underneath some magic circle they used to reanimate corpses?"
• You All Meet in An Inn: How the Drogans form
