Real Session 8. Journey to the Digs. Report

General Summary

After having spent the night at Beggar's Rest, Ernesto got up and met with the youngest of the lot. Adam, who was clearly far too young to be living that rough life. He was the cook for the camp, which saved him the trouble of going out and actually having to rob people, or so he said. Shortly after Gertrude and Bucklebee arrived and prepared to set off.   Bucklebee in the meantime managed to secure a short sword which Gertrude proceeded to spruce up for Ernesto to carry, much like the valiant hero which he portrays himself to be.   On their way back, they approached the statue which had previously stumped them and learned that it was the remnants of an old elven shrine which was maintained out of sentimentality by the elves of the bandit group. It was also a suitable place for dead drops, when required.

Eventually the conversation was cut short by a rustle of leaves and twigs. They stopped and prepared, waiting for someone to come out at them. However, the person who stepped forth soon succumbed to their injuries and unconsciousness after telling them that they were attacked in the mists. They decided to carry on the heavily wounded man and carry him to a safe location.   Eventually, they followed the road down to an old and dilapidated town, where the trio found an old wine cellar which after clearing, they decided to take refuge in. However, they found two mummified corpses within, laying next to a tunnel which seems to have been dug from within. Inside there were also several caskets, three of which still contained some wine. One was full of wine, the second was half full but had stronger wine and the third was a thick and immensely alcoholic Syrup which moved Ernesto to tears.   So they made a vow to one day return to this place to celebrate their findings and to tell no one. Ernesto even promised to take Bucklebee out on a date when all was said and done. Something which Bucklebee acquiesced, considering the fellow's charms.   The sweet moment was broken up by voices coming from the outside however as a group of lights came through, looking for the guy which they just rescued. And seemingly intent on finishing the job...
