Session 6 - Who Let the Dogs Out
General Summary
After completing their business at the Emporium, the heroes braved the late hour and hit the road, heading straight for Vaz'non's home. Once there, they laid out their plan, explaining the plan to head to the Whispering Cairn the very next day. Vaz’non, without much fuss, decided to join them in the morning. But the moment the heroes stepped out of Vaz’non’s, trouble awaited. Three aberrant enforcers from the cult of the Ebon Triad, with nothing but bad intentions, were there to pick a bone with Cal for poking his nose where it didn’t belong. A fight broke out, fierce and fast, and in the end, the Ebon Shroud Adepts were laid low. Cal took a robe and the holy symbol from one of the adepts for safekeeping. At sunrise, Alfie Bud was back at the Emporium, ready to pick up their guide, Clover Brightfoot. Only, Zalamandra, Clover’s boss, was not too keen on letting her star performer ditch work for what she called “grave robbing.” But a few puppy eyes and sincere words later, she gave in. Clover was theirs for the taking. Clover, eyes aglow, led the heroes straight to the tomb. There was a moment, a pause, where the party had to decide—should Clover go back to Ravengro alone, or stick it out with them? She wanted in. So, they all stepped into the cairn together, ready for whatever awaited. Dav took the lead, his eyes sharp, and it paid off. He sniffed out an ambush, a pack of wolves ready to tear them apart. And those wolves put up a fight defending their home. They were fierce, working like a well-oiled machine. But the heroes, they were fiercer. It was brutal, no holds barred, but in the end, they stood tall, wolves at their feet, ready to push on, deeper into the Whispering Cairn.
