Session 15 Recap
Morning day of departure, every early before sun up. 2nd day of the 2 Month in 2372.
Tolvin wakes up with an even bushier beard than yesterday. It’s a cold morning; temperature around freezing. It has been 17 days since we all met for the first time and boy have we been through a lot.
We all meet in the dining hall for breakfast. We fill our stomachs because we know we have a long journey ahead of us. Remus joins us. Once everyone is done, we say our goodbyes and Remus takes us to the docks to catch the ferry.
Carl meets us at the dock and introduces us to Saevel, the ferry boat captain. Saevel looks elfish and is obviously more comfortable on the water than on dry land. There are some people from the town gathered to see us off and wish us luck on the journey to stop Foiliag. They are sorry to see us leave (especially Kai) but they are clearly proud of us for doing this. The people are; the King, his Wizard, Cleric Cryus, Lyons, Gaia, Thea, and the very sad Kai. Before we depart the Wizard walks over to Tolvin and gives him an amber jewel with feathers, teeth and claws. This is the Amulet of the Familiar.
We board the ship and depart. The ferry is really a mix between ferry and barge. On board, other than us are Saevel, the first mate (really the only mate), the horses and the cart. Tolvin cast Water Breathing on everyone including the horse. But come to find out the Captain doesn’t need it because he is a Sea Elf and can breathe underwater naturally. This also explains why he’s more comfortable on the water than land. It's a twelve hour ride to Madatricona. Azi gives one of his famous inspiring speeches and gives everyone extra hit points.
It's late afternoon, early evening. All of a sudden a flaming arrow flies across the front of the ferry. Archimedes flies up and does some recon. He sees a dwarf, 2 archers, a human guy, and a human pirate who appears to be in charge. They don't seem to realize they’ve been spot. Another flaming arrow comes our way and hits the back of the boat and catches fire. Saevel drops the anchor. He’ll take care of the fire and the horses if we take care of the baddies. Tolvin Cast Bless on Azi, Althena, Sorcha and Vistra. Azi Cast Bless on Althena, Sorcha and Vistra.
We get off the boat and move into position. Althena’s movement is spotted by the bandits and they know they’ve been spotted and ready to fight. Fighting Order Both Archers who can’t hit anything Sorcha - Creates wall of Thorns Dwarf Guy - now Direwolf Archimedes - hides in tree (typical coward) Althena Tolvin - lights the wolf on fire (still alive) Azi - attacks the wolf too Human Kid #1 - Fire bolts Vistra who is now pissed out because he made her spill her drink Human Kid #2 - Goes after Vistra, now really pissed. Vistra - Turns into Giant Elk named Sven and runs right through Human Kid #2 shredding him into several pieces. (Human Kid #1 now scared) Leader - Calls in reinforcements and attacks Althena.
Round Two - Two Veterans show up to join the baddies. Azi pushes one archer through the throne wall. Tolvin Casts Haste on Sven. Sven kills another one.
Round Three - Tolvin takes out Human boy. Veteran #1 runs away like the coward he is. Sven slaughters Veteran #2.
Round #4 - Sorcha kills the Captain after numerous times trying to make him talk. Sven kills the Dwarf and the remaining Archer.
Loot - 1,000 copper pieces, 50 gold pieces, belt bucket made of pewter and a spell Scroll of Blink
The party gets back on the boat but they make Sven take a bath in the river first, (he’s covered in lots of blood, guts, and even some brain matter). The ferry continues on the way to Madatricona.
Night Time - We arrive well after dark. Saevel says this is as far as he can take us as the open water is not safe for his ferry. We are at the Riverside Docks. He says the Harbor Master will be able to tell us about a ship north if that’s what we wanna do. It’s late so we decided to head to the Monkey’s Uncle and see Gene for rooms for the night. Gene has a stable for the horses and cart. We eat dinner and chat. Ask Jasmine about the nearby zoo.
Long Rest??
