S10 - Breaker of Chains Pt.2

The battle continues, Aldo takes out an enemy, another runs away after being hit and falls unconscious. Eidrick takes a hit, and Malek takes a nasty one as well but hurts an enemy badly along the way. Koa drops his sword, pulling out a spear and shield, charging toward the ranged attackers while taking a hit himself. The fight goes on and Eidrick takes the last assailant down in the main room while falling unconscious himself. The group splits with Eidrick's two men going left and the party going right after the leader. Koa takes more hits but ultimately they get one of the slavers to flip and take down the Captain Torr, but not before he kills 3 innocents and stabs Cullen Gemsmith. Koa uses blood block to save him, and in the meantime Aldo discovers one more of Eidrick's men decided to betray them, looting and running. Aldo takes the other man and Nightstorm and beats the man, tying him up and the party regroups. They praise Eidrick's good man and admonish Malek for leaving them which may have aided in three innocents dying. As the session ends, the group frees the prisoners, finds that a lordling man escaped through some secret means, and checks the loot left behind in the wake. Questioning the captured slavers and guards, they confirm Captain Torr, actually named Walter, is dead and was the one executing prisoners during the fight. That said, the guy who got away was the real leader. Torr worked for him. Ashtara is responsible for finding buyers. Continuing their search, they finally find the path the lordling took to escape, finding sigils marking Luthar's home, Uub, and planes of slime, water, ice, steam, and salt. A fountain on the back has the symbol for plane of water on repeat mixed in with other symbols. The liquid in the water has a syrupy thickness to it. Another door leads to the main entrance where the party first entered.

S9 - Breaker of Chains Pt.1

Koa and Malek ride ahead, manage to find the cave mouth. Koa notices the types of shrubs at the cave entrance were planted to obscure the view of the entrance, giving credence that this is the entrance. Koa notices tracks belonging to an owlbear, though Koa thinks they are fake. The group has to tie up two of the hired mercenaries when they seem ready to turn on the group, and Aldo, Mikhail, and Koa scout out a second entrance to the cave. The party goes to the second entrance while the remaining four NPC's head to the cave. Edrick gives Koa his club to use for taking enemies alive. Koa tries to assure Mikhail and Aldo that what they are doing is worth the risk, and they move in. The crew takes their time and lures various guards into quick knockouts, ultimately luring 3 guards into Mikhail's sleep. By the end of the session, at least 5 guards and a poor puppy are taken out of the fight. Entering the cavern, Koa yells for Eidrick as a couple archers miss their shots at him and Aldo. The culimation of the fight is where we will be next.

As he leaves to masked people hurry in wearing white gowns/robes: Chantry workers there to get pre-expected supplies. Mikhail goes into a bar heavily enchanted with magic and meets the owner Bhaltair while looking for the white-haired man. Malek finally is found and eventually is persuaded into helping stop the slavers. Casper leads the group to Edrick, a mercenary, who also agrees to help, for a price. The party gets a cart, 4 total horses, and 9 members and heads off to where the people are being kept with the goal of saving them and stopping the slave trade.

Session 2: Lost in the Woods

We're off to kill some bandits, some wonderful bandits of Oz. Reviewing the notes in the case the captain gave Koa, the crew finds out that the case is probably waterproof for one, but also that Malik (koa's first kill is in there along with four other names: Jasir, Samir, Zahra, Layla. None of these 4 are native to Loshev. Samir looks like he could be the archer, but not 100% sure. Samir and Zahra are hunters/trappers, Jasir is a tradesman, Layla profession unknown. Aldo remembers Layla, who was sitting on Dan's (guardsman) lap when he was in jail. Moving into the woods close to Loshev, the journey does not start well with Aldo putting on an awful disguise and Koa not navigating very well... Mikhail and aldo put on a good show and the next day wet weather seems to be on the horizon. Koa leads the group southeast after a rough first day of travel, hoping to find the bandits even today. Ground is wet, moldy, etc and the group hurries to escape the wetness. Koa and Aldo seem to be worse for wear after passing through the wet part. Aldo kills a deer so the guys have meat. Eventually they come across the trail of the bandits and move slowly down the trail trying to find them. The group comes upon the bandits' old camp, where they find a trap and evidence the bandits were here last night. The group moves out after them at a quick pace and finds them while Koa and Aldo deal with fatigue. A battle ensues, with Aldo killing Zahra and wounding Jasir, with Koa killing Samir and avenging Phil. Aldo yells out for Layla to surrender, and she steps out unarmed agreeing to do so. Jasir is also revealed to be the man who robbed Mikhail during his ep 0

Session 1: Awakening in Loshev

Phil still dead. Boooo. Council chambers stone, but look like they have a metallic shimmer to them. Koa waits hours for his chance to speak to the council. hears a drunk grandstand the council and try to convince them of corruption in the guard (aldo). Koa tries to refuse payment from phil's family, goes to council meeting where he hears about the bandits and possible corruption in the guard, a council members son has been kidnapped, etc. Ultimately meets mikhail and aldo and agrees to paid job to track down bandit remnants of the group who had attacked him. Koa is skeptical of both mikhail and aldo, but especially aldo's ability and willingness to go on the mission. Philipa gives Koa silvery potion of magic weapon and another healing weapon. also gives box with compass inside.

Here we go for real
