Session 009: It was a Mindflayer, all along Report
General Summary
Redfall 06, 2020KC
Widow's Peak, Outding Refuge.
The Ice Mephit are down, and so the party has decided to risk a short rest. They then headed Northwest, where they began to hear a soft cracking of ice crystals. The SE narrow passageway bent to the south.
Then from the ceiling came a large Ice Spider, and it began to attack
During the fight, a second one came from the tunnels to the North. After the fight, the party went E/SE, and then they began to hear some movement and activity going on in the East.
Lars Heyton: That is a Mindflayer and the church groundskeeper Jacoby Drexelhand.The party decides to loop around and see if the tunnels come back around back by the Spiders. It worked.
Mindflayer (Got Away) Jacoby Drexelhand (Got Away) 2 Cultists (Gorvenal Boulderdown, Doran Morningfall -- never really brought up, but possible they overheard at some point...)
The Battle:
t Combat Experience: 50 (12 each) | Total: 2052 tt Encounter Experience: 3000 (750 each) | Total: 2802 t
Canthenth : When the great Dragon awoke last, it freed many dragons from the earth. He was one of them. He was sent here to destroy the Arcane Forge. He gave some lore to the story of the gods of Dierde. What he spoke of was how the gods of this realm are the "Forgotten Gods" and the "Dragon That Slumbers" is fine with them; however -- there are the "Outsider Gods," and it seemed they are responsible for awakening the Dragon. After the Dragon cracked the earth and began to come alive, there was a sacrifice of gods and heroes unlike anything before. They were able to pull the Dragon back down and put him back to sleep… But it seems that the time may soon be upon us for the actual awakening and the Outsider Gods are not likely powerful enough to handle it.The party rescued two villagers and found an exit. They went through the dark, and as morning crept across the land, the party returned to town. As they left Widow's Peak, the effects of the snow and cold began to wane. The winter is now centered on just the mountain, the lair of the White Dragon.
**The party rested at the Wavecrest Tavern**
