Return to Woodhelm

by Verna Appleblossom

Woodhelm Loves Us!

As we are heading to Woodhelm, we get ambushed by the town artificer. I don't remember his name, but he holds a grudge for a broken carpet and our failed raid on his home. I'm not sure what he means. I was never there!

Anyways, we fall into his trap. I wasn't expecting a trap, but I saw our barrel dwarf in a bind and ran to see if I could help him. Something tried to grab me as I was running buy I quickly dodged out of the way and made it to him. He informed me that it was a trap.

The artificer had two warforged titans, 1 retriever, and 2 trappers (one of the rug-like things that tried to grab me). The battle was quite a sight and we barely made it out alive. The retriever was particularly nasty. It had a way of paralyzing us at the wrong moment!

Just as we were getting ready to take out the retriever, the crazy artificer jumped on its back and rode away like some recurring villain in the storybooks. Oh, well. Gives me the chance to get the drop on him and stab him in the back at my earliest convenience. We got a ton of loot though: a set of fine clothes, 3 art objects (a brass mug, a gold birdcage with electrum filigree and a turquoise box each worth 250 Galifars! We also got 392 CP; 1,936 GP; 8,670 SP, and 31 PP. Poor fool looks like he had all of his wealth with him.

We decided to take a full rest and rebuild Atom Smasher as he got wasted again.

Stole Wabnuc's Diary again: [b]Present:[/b] Tim(DM), Jim, Rob(Skype), Phil, Dan, Dave working, John in hospital (took an arrow to his knee) (4 PCs present) 2-11-23 On the way to the fairy dragon's lair we came upon a field where a farmer had been killed. He has scratches on him Verna sees and collects some mushrooms, and then trips over the tail of a vine blight—encounter: 4 Vine blights (2 g.p. worth of fey stones. Pedro: -5 HP We arrive at Nahanial's zone and he says that the damaged shard at the obelisk is likely and imperfect copy of The Stone that belongs there. Through insight, Wabnuc finds that the original can't be more than a couple of miles away, or much worse effects would be apparent in the area On the way back to town we are stopped by City Watch and detained for not reporting the scarecrow encounter we had. Donaar plays his royalty card and gets luxury service and accommodation along with Verna, his "attendant." The sorcerer and Wabnuc are left in the general holding cell. Rex antagonizes the guards with his [i]message[/i] ability. Wabnuc plays the "guild member" card and gets bailed out for 5 s.p. by the Artisan's guild. Rex continues to antagonize the guards and is eventually fined 50 g.p. He gets out, claiming that Donaar will take care of the fine. Next, we go hunting for Wil-O'-the-Wisps. Wabnuc is working on carving a dragonshard into a convincing replica of The Stone. Encounter: 2 will-o-the-wisps and many fireflies.

08:32 pm - 12.02.2023

[p]So I see Wabnuc constantly writing in a diary. Last night, I decided to "borrow" it and see what all he's writing about. Sneaky gnomes and their schemes! Here is the latest entry:[/p] [h1]January 14, 2023[/h1] [p][b]Present:[/b] Tim (DM), Rob, Jim, Dan, Phil, John (Skype)[/p] [p][b]Absent:[/b] Dave "watching over a slumber party"[/p] [p][b]Number of PCs Present:[/b] 5[/p] [p]We had not rested at the end of the last session, and now are resting in a ruined tower.[/p] [p]On second shift (Verna), some dogs are seen (Shadow Mastiffs). Vorg checks out the outside of our tower (specifically Adam), and moves on. Verna follows him and sees Vorg's footprints end near a rock face.[/p] [p]Verna returns and tells Donaar, who's shift is up next. We go to the tower in the morning and enter the cloaked door. Wabnuc disables the ward and Verna picks the lock.[/p] [p]There are 2 4 gazers in the chamber (baby beholders).[/p] [p]Wabnuc harvests 4 gazer eyestalks, which could be used to create a weapon (3 fear, 1 telekenetics).[/p] [p]1 Construct Heart (Core) ([strike]minor damage[/strike], mostly depleted charge).[/p] [p][strike]We head off towards Klaus' camp, on our way to the Faerie Dragon's to look for dragonshards.[/strike][/p] [p]We successfully rest at Klaus' camp, which had been ransacked by Grungs. While we rest, on Wabnuc's shift, two soldiers approach, investigating reports of a construct moving around. They check out Adam, but leave convinced that he's still inert. We plan to head out to the faerie dragon area next.[/p]
