Session 18: Death Dogs Report
General Summary
Astara and Nina make it back to town with Trajan and speak with Keeper Aman. The injured but otherwise ok wolves are sent to the healing tent. Keeper Aman gives a speech of necessary tragedy, but the need to take accountability in such situations, given them shovels and the tasks to bury the dead wolves. The agree, but ask for time to help their group. The Keeper agrees and they set off, taking one of the horses to save time. Deeper in the woods, Twig and Astara are fighting the death dog head on, while Eavaan assists from the treetops, granting them the view to alert the fighting duo to a pincer tactic. Able to withstand the disease and impact during bites that damages both in the duo, they come out unscathed of lasting damages, but pretty hurt. The tactic of the duo tanking / dps'ing and Eavaan supporting and inspiring prevails. The other wolves in the area retreat. Inside, they find there is a second entrance to the dwelling, but more gruesome, two wolves are in the process of turning. Unable to do much, the wolves pose little threat at this point, and are both put down out of mercy. All are in conversation over the sending stones, and it is about then that the rest rejoins and they reunited to search and salvage the scene. A dead druid, identified as Fernand, is found inside. They take his things and proceed to a burning to return some of him, with the intent to possibly inform his family later. The wolves corpses are placed on the horse and they return to the settlement, to bury all that needs burying, as promised. Keeper Aman gives more details on Fernand and gives a group a bank note as payment. Everyone levels and they return to Wolfpaw's. They discuss wanting to tackle the Owlbear job next, but arriving, they find 2 male dwarves taking the job slip; Burnhild and Korbir. These are also Novice members of the Foundation. A conversation is add and a challenge of arm wrestling is agreed on. Burhild, being a paladin of Dol Darn is the contender against Trajan. Eavaan grants bardic inspiration, and everyone cheers (or jeers the opposition, in the case of the Youka/Burnhilde mini paladin-off) and Trajan wins! Pouting, the both storm off, but honor the bet and give up the job. That night, Twig and Nina discover a connection to their respective mark, gaining the ability to cast minor illusion and gust at will (cantrips). Trajan has another dream, a short sentence that makes little sense. "And the mist was then unleashed" GAME END
