Session 2 - New Companions, Thurmaster, Hog Brook

Players Attending:

Aaron - Abraxa - Priestess of Baba Yaga + Casimir

Rachel - Ra-Shon the Ranger

Tim - Zastrasz - Gnome - Cleric/Illusionist + Michah - Dwarf Fighter

Chris - Anton - Half Elf - Transmuter

During the session, the initial 4 couriers found and rescued 2 new party members, a gnomish cleric/illusionist, and a half-elf mage. Then traveled together to Thurmaster. On the way, they met Andren, and learned of Jenneleth's dissapearance. In Thurmaster, the party delivered their payload, and spoke with Tausta. Tausta enlisted their aid in finding Jenneleth, which sent them to meet with Kuiper the Ranger, and Oleane the Druid. While Searching Hog Brook, the party was attacked by a group of Blood Skull orcs. They defeated the orcs through strength of arms and the power of magic.

Timeframe: Brezen 10 to Brezen 14

Campaign Choices: Spheres for Baba Yaga - Protection, Chaos, Necromantic, All Volos - similar, but elemental as a major Sphere

Things Learned in Play:

There is a little gnome community near the New Mire

The old Temple at Parlfray's Keep attracts pilgrims

Met Andren - a young inkeeper's son whose fiance Jenneleth is missing

Jenneleth is an apprentic evoker, having studied with Tausta

The local squire is aware of the bandit problem, but doesn't have the resources to deal with it aside from raising the local milita to directly defend the walls of Thurmaster

There's been some economic decline - a mine closed, and some farms have failed.

The brigands may be casually murderous, but they did treat Zastrasz's pony well

Broken Spire Keep Part 1

In game dates: Brezen 19 and Brezen 20 (Spring Equinox) Gist: Party had Kuiper reach out to Oleanne to find a cure for the rotting illness, then set out to Broken Spire Keep. Part 1: Resting overnight at Kuiper's cabin (Ranger). Kuiper was hospitable, and sent birds to track Oleane for a cure. Oleanne is the druid the party has worked w/before. Kuiper expects her to come to the cabin by the 22nd. Part 2: Approaching Broken Spire Keep The trip itself was fairly quiet - and the party pushed hard to get there before nightfall on the 20th. From there, the part observed Broken Spire Keep from a distance for some time. They learned of a sentry in a watch tower, and saw scouts return to the keep who took a strange path in. Based on the odd path, the party surmised traps were likely. Part 3: Assaulting the keep The group approached under nightfall, using the silence spell and find traps to hide the approach. Then, the group belly crawled across the roof, charmed ...

Recent recap

In general, the group has continued building a name for themselves in the region, and learned of a wave of kidnappings and it's origin in a ruined keep deep in the woods. In the most recent session, the party finished leading a caravan to Parlfray's Keep, taking their earnings for caravan duty.   At the Keep, the party met Parlfray, informed him of some recent goings-on, found him to be a bit shifty, and met his son - Lyntern, an eager 18 year old lad looking for adventure. Lyntern suggested that he could show the group the way to the keep, so long as the party gives him soem adventure. The group decided to not take Lyntern directly to the keep in the woods, instead, taking him on a lesser (but still paid) adventure to seek pilgrims lost on the moors.   On the way out to the Moors, the group encountered and defeated some ogres, before finding the slain pilgrims.   The pilgrims appeared to have fallen prey to terrifying, two headed dogs - who descended on...
