Session 061 - Plots, Mines and Fighting Dirty

General Summary

9^th to 15^th Larane (5) (Summer) 721TR

The story so far

Avon is a member of the Elite Red Guard, who specializes in interrogation and intelligence gathering. He is often used to evaluate potential threats to the Thardic Republic.

He has been ordered to investigate The Company of Dead Men, a large mercenary band closely associated with the Church of Morgath, who are acting suspiciously. Avon, aided by his friends, has infiltrated the Company as posing recruits.

The Company, aided by a small band of Dwarven criminals, is mounting an expedition into the wilderness to recover some powerful and evil artifact hidden in the distant Izora Mines.

The heroes are also made contacts with an Elven warrior Eldashara, who is also planning to stop this expedition.

Part 1 - Sabretooth the Groin Buster

Sabretooth has a plan to teach the sadistic Sergeant Argonery a painful lesson. When scouting, he gathers a few bushels of the Dragonhead Plant. This brightly flowered herb is easy to find in Summer, and he carefully rubs its sharp leaves over his groin area, and it quickly goes numb.

Next, he bets two months pay with the Quartermaster Mauger that he can convince Sergeant Argoney to let him kick him in the balls. Then he challenges the Sergeant to such a contest. Each would take turns to kick each other in the groin until the other passes out or surrenderers. Helped by the Anesthetic herbs, Sabretooth narrowly wins, much to the amusement of the rest of the Company. Yet again, the Sergeant has been successfully undermined, this time in front of the Company Leadership.

Part 2 - The Barbarians

The next day the party is instructed to kill or get rid of a band of Kabloqui Barbarians who are lurking nearby. This group of ten warriors is talking around a campfire among various piles of Animal, Orc and Human skulls.

Sabretooth sends his Ivashu Ivashu Companion Smeg forward to distract them or maybe divert some away. Unfortunately, the barbarians are not hostile and are in a particularly good mood. Seeing the ugly Smeg only causes amusement and curiosity. Eventually, Smeg acts so obnoxious one of the Barbarians takes a swipe at him. Badly injured, Smeg plays dead.
