OSE Campaign, first session

Had our first session of BX/OSE with my usual group. We all seemed to enjoy it. First session was effectively a tutorial dungeon. The dice were so gentle on the players that they didn't even have a wandering monster. I didn't like that much, but whatever. The rolls rule like that.

They're in Mint Hill, a frontier town where civilization is over a month east. They met some of the locals, and found places to stay. Then they were hired to go into a goblin cave and find the body of a little girl who was captured so she could get a proper burial. She was kept alive by the hobgoblin leader of the goblins. Something about hopefully ransoming her for livestock in the near future. Thanks to a neutral reaction roll the elf was able to talk him into letting her go.

The hobgoblin got the implication that if they didn't leave the area the players would report the goblins limited numbers and come back in full force, so they decided to leave. Alcar was like "lets run a heist and steal the treasure that was supposed to be our reward for fighting the hobgoblin". So that's happening next week.

Party:
Alcar, Elf 1
Domania. Cleric 1
Matthew, Thief 1
Crispin, Magic-User 1

 It had been a month since the last session because one of my players got into a fight with a surgeon and won, but was down for the count for weeks and with such a small tightly knit group we decided to wait for her to get back to play.  On tonight's session the followed through with their ambush on the goblins and kobolds as they tried to use the cover of night to flee, then afterwards built some rapport with the townsfolks, meeting some NPCs. The ambush was really good, Crispin the magic-user used his sleep spell to take out most of the hobgoblin's personal guard. The elf, thief and cleric used missile weapons to pick off the goblins carrying the chest, then the hobgoblin rushed the cleric who whacked him right good in the had knocking him from full to 1 hp in a single hit. I had him check morale right away and he decided to run for it cursing in goblin "fuck this, its not worth it". The treasure was nice. All of the coin and gems they'd stolen over the last cou

 Remember that Ultima game I made? https://stevemangames.blogspot.com/2023/01/i-made-game-in-48-hours.html I went back to it and filled in a lot of the gaps and made it into about as close to a complete game as I can (since I have no idea how to write a GM section and didn't want to sit down and fully detail the settong of Ultima 3 through 5). Here it is https://www.mediafire.com/file/om5y7gbaahzi1vs/Ultima_TRPG.pdf/file It's not the best thing since sliced milk, but it is a good game. More of a game than Mork Borg that for sure. also an art wip the blocking sketch of some fanart of the intro scene from U5
