Session 28 Recap

We start off by dividing the loot from the mage tower amongst ourselves.

We camp for the night and long rest. In the morning we make breakfast, pack up camp and set out eastward towards Verul’s.

The road is now much easier to follow. Nalagon starts acting a little strange like she wants to say something but isn't sure how to start the conversation. Highlights: She’s not sure if Verul will trade Dileus. After the military they became wayward soldiers then mercenaries. A wealthy merchant hired them to find his daughter. They located her with Verul but the girl was happy and didn’t want to return to her father. One member of the group tried to take Verul on head on and the rest of the group did not and left the forest. Told the merchant what happened. Nalagon settled down and opened her shop, the Fair Scale, in Kazimr. Dileus and Rina kept doing the mercenary thing. Nalagon believes they did something they shouldn’t have. She hopes Verul will trade but has no idea what she would ask for. Nalagon doesn’t expect us to fight for her but will of course take the assistance.

We continue on floating along. It starts to get cloudy again. Then it starts to hail. The hail intensifies and we start getting hurt. Nalagon mentions a cave up ahead we can seek shelter in. She’s been there before and it’s not that deep inside. Against Vistra’s protest about trusting Nalagon with shelter ideas, we go into the cave. Being a cave it’s completely dark inside so Tolvin lights his sword to provide some light. We walk through the cave and see dull purple crystals, red mushrooms, blue mushrooms, a pool of water, fire pit, leather cloaks, bedrolls, oh and two dead bodies. (Sure let’s go into the creepy cave, what's the worst that could be in there).

All of a sudden a tentacle tries to grab Tolvin (yep typed that too soon). Then a roper appears and then another one appears. (That’s it, Vistra is putting her foot down; we are not taking shelter advice from Nalagon anymore).

We start combat. Fighting Two Ropers and several Duegars. We go four rounds(Archimedes does nothing helpful as usual) and PAUSE the session.
