Minor Scroll of Sylvan Whispers:
Description: This scroll is made of aged parchment, bound with a silver ribbon adorned with elven runes and nature motifs.
Effect: When read aloud in a forested area, the scroll releases a gentle whispering sound in Sylvan, the language of the fey and nature spirits. This sound attracts nearby woodland creatures and grants advantage on Charisma (Animal Handling) checks when interacting with them for the next hour.
Usage: Once the scroll is read, it crumbles into fine dust, releasing a faint scent of wildflowers.
Found carved Elven steps up to an arch, but nothing there.
Goblin encounter
Found a group of goblins killed dthem
Ird the goblin diary about his family and children
Send Jonah back to the farm, maybe he is a little racist to goblins
A stranger
Arthur Grimwold a historian in an etherial suit was waiting at the mountain pass, expected the group who hired him to tour.
Works at the university in west harbour and spends most of his time in the great library.
Talks about the battle from 100 y ago between the dwarves kingdom and Eberfell before the peace and dwarves integrated into society.
There are caves in the pass but he knows little of any goblins.
Goblin Lair
Found the path to the goblin lair,
AIden used auger to judge how things would go for the group
The plan was for him to turn Valen invisible and Poppy become a rat and sneak past the goblins
Aidens ritual said it would work
Once they were in place Finn persuaded the Goblins to let them have an audience with Bree Mark
Bree Mark told them of why they were in their new lair and did not trust them, left them to the shaman to work out if they were innocent or not.
Fought the goblins in the camp and killed the one that would not back down, before the shaman agreed to take them to speak further to Bree
When Valen and Poppy tried to follow they set of a trap and fell into the catacombs below.
They did not have to wait long, the bridge the others were on collapsed, killing the shaman and breaking his staff, Though they collect the aether crystal from it.
Once back together the order come across 2 goblins on patrol, kill one and threaten the other into leading them through the caves
In the next cave a Spider King bursts from its lair and eats the goblin, before fighting with the group
Once defeated the group snaeak into Bree Yards throne chamber.
Poppy and Valen hide in the shadows, Finn and Whistle do most of the talking
--They come to an agreement that the goblins will help take back the mines the dy after poppy signals them with the fireworks.
Agree that they will stop hunting people on the roads or in the towns, but people must stay out of the woods and the guild must take down their wanted posters
Return boley to the group, she is battered and bruised.
As they head out they struggle to get across the bone bridges, Valen slips on a log, straddles it and takes bludgeoning damage to his bollocks
Saved Gniax the goblin using feather fall
He is indebted to the order.
Cockatrice
Once out of the valley, they decide to head south to the twin towns, but take a detour to collect the bounty for the cockatrice, after all they wont get any for the goblins
Cockotrice turns out to only be 3ft tall, the group are not sure if it is a baby or adult one.
Poppy casts speak with animals to confirm whilst the others kill it
Instead Poppy goes through the psychological torture of hearing the animal scream out about its unhatched baby and calling them murderers.
Poppy is taken out after 2 natural ones lead to friendly fire
As the cockatrice dies it screams out for someone to save its children
The group wrap up the eggs.
Poppy is incredibly saddened
The sun has fallen, the group had forgotten there is a werewolf in this forest.
It appears and chases the group as they attempt to flee.
It catches up with Poppy and Boley, so the group fight
Poppy is bitten, but her armour means the beats teeth never pierced her flesh
Boley on the other hand feels a power hit her as the beasts jaws clamped through her armour.
She flees into the woods
When the werewolf collapses they drag it south onto the road and the beast turns back into a man, it is father jessop.
Whisltestick uses his tarot power to revivify Jessop.
Silverbrook
They take him back to Silverbook temple and chain him up.
He was not aware he was a werewolf and knows he was not bitten, but had found himself blacking out.
He is curtain he is cursed.
