Recap to Current Situation

  • Group followed some veteran mercenaries out to the ruins north of the city of Raedan
  • While staking out the entrance, the group witnesses ~50 animated skeletons with fused weapons for arms rush out of the ruins heading toward Raedan

Session Notes

  •  The group decided to hop onto their horses and race back to Raedan ahead of the skeleton horde.
  • Nick fails at animal handling, so we don't make great time, only beating the horde by ~20 minutes
  • At the town, there is a contingent of guards assembled that are hastily building makeshift fortifications
  • The group approaches the Vicadium's chamber and tell him about the situation
  • The group agrees to help with the defense, but with the caveat that we aren't planning on dying, so if things go south, we will bounce
  • The group has been assigned to defend the East entrance to town
  • Because of the guards helping the group for this battle, we all get +1 AC for this battle
  • Jin decides to set up some trip wire booby traps real quick by the East gate
  • ROLL INITIATIVE as ~20 skeletons approach the gate
    • ~10 skeletons get caught by the snares set by Jin
    • After a round and a turn undead, down to ~6 skeletons left
  • The group wins the fight!
  • Walter tries and fails to find horses to make a getaway
  • Erica is looting the field and accidentally reanimates 8 skeletons
  • ROLL INITIATIVE
    • Nick cheated by using channel divinity more than once a day - just for the record
  • Fight ended. We figured out that you need to remove some magical bits from the skull after they have been killed or else they respawn
  • We dispatch a guardsmen to each of the other gates to spread the word about removing the bits from the skull
  • Short rest time!
    • Several party members decided to heal up
  • The sounds of battle have died down in the city
  • The group decides to head to the North gate to check on how things went
    • Overall, there was a fierce battle, but the skeletons have been slain
  • The group approaches the Vicadium, he appears weary and tired
  • He gives each member of the group 40 gold!
  • The Vicadium asks the group to stick around in Raedan to help with reconstruction
  • Long rest!

  • Rory the innkeeper passed away in the battle

  • Rizz is still alive after the battle and her inventory seems to have grown somewhat
  • We gear up with some stuff from Rizz
  • Walter wants to commemorate the loss of his friend Rory
    • Walter pours himself a tankard of Rory's ale and pours it out in remembrance for Rory
  • Afterwards, the group checks in with the Vicadium to see if there are any jobs that need done
    • He asks us to head West to Wudu to spread the word about what happened and ask them for support/to make preparations
  • The group decides to head to Wudu following the Vicadium's request
  • Day 1:
    • Pleasant day of travel, no events of note
  • Day 2:
    • We encounter a group of travelers in a Vardo wagon being pulled by a black horse
    • A halfling woman in the wagon flags down the group and asks for our attention
    • Erica talks with her
    • She wants to hire mercenaries to look for her boss that has been missing for a week
    • She is a collector named Anbryn Stillcloak
    • She starts traveling with the group
    • She steers her wagon off the road saying that this feels like the right way to go
    • She and Jin start communicating telepathically in Abyssal and she asks him who he works for
    • After an insight check, he determines she is a fellow warlock and she is in search of her patron that is missing
    • She comes clean with the group about the situation
    • Her patron just refers to himself as One and is interested in collecting magical items
    • The group agrees to help after the explanation is in the open
    • She stops the wagon after a couple hours of travel, she stops the wagon and points to other Vardo wagons gathered in the distance
    • At the spot, her stomach starts gurgling worse and worse, she seems like she is about to vomit
    • Instead of vomit, her eyes roll back in her head and an insect falls out of her mouth, she then collapses
    • Nick manages to leap onto and cover the insect to trap it
    • Jin can sense that the bug feels a need to be whole again
    • Erica infuses a bag into a bag of holding and the group manages to capture the insect inside the bag
