Session 37: Blazes & Backwoods
General Summary
The Dragon Punchers made their way into the forests outside
Kinallen Glen. Jinn trailed behind the party to ensure they weren’t followed, while
Whistler, their kenku guide, led them towards Eabhen Keep. This journey would also serve as Micah’s trial for membership into the
Steel Fist.
Deep in the forest the party came across a swarm of ettercaps. Dispatching them proved a simple task, but Whistler indicated the creatures’ presence was an omen of greater danger. During the night the party was attacked by a terrifying, ancient entity of the forest. In the heat of combat Micah inadvertently sparked a forest fire which quickly grew out of control, and the group was forced to flee with the ballista. They could only hope that their warning to Jinn would allow him to avoid the danger.
Emerging from boggy marshland to the edges of the tidelands, the Dragon Punchers got their first view of Eabhen Keep. The imposing structure stood alone in the midst of the Widow’s Flats, accessible by foot only at low water. The party made camp to await Jinn’s arrival and plan their next move.
