Sneaking back into town...

by LightFace

We go down to the water, and get ahold of a fisherman. Bogdan gets his attention, and we ask for passage into town.
His name is Hallen and we're going to smuggle our way into town with him on his boat....in a few hours.
We head up to the road, and see if farmers are going in and out.
Festival of Life is tomorrow. Today is January 14th.
Bring offerings for the poor, play games, and win prizes.
We look for a sewer, or a way tall ladder to climb over the wall.
We pay Hallen 5 gold and we ride in....in a barrel on the boat.
We climb under the docs, and we go into the sewers under the docks.
We find ourselves behind a building.
We sneak around and try to find a sneaky guy who can tell us where secret tunnels are.
We get a room and a rope entrance at the inn next to the place where the goblins might be being held.
We plot and scheme about getting the goblins out of the prison.
We peak in a window, and talk to goblins.
They were looking for us specifically.
They know it's us. they suspect Enog told us their secret.
Enog is going to be executed, and he got us all in trouble.
We prep and get ready for the army to give us a distraction.
A day after the festival, there's a commotion that wakes us up....
Orcs are burning the farms on the way into town.
We get our boats and take them outside, to let the orcs inside.
We meet up with the orcs, and they're pissed about the attack. We let them know what happened, and we get orcs to go on the boat to attack the baron.
We sneak back to the boats.
We get up to the orcs, and they're fighting a griffin squadron.
They're fighting valiantly enough, but not doing well.
We use our boats to shuttle orcs into the city, and they fight bravely.
We use the boats to shuttle jailed goblins out of the city, and they flee to Halmir.
We use our remaining boats to get back to shore, and we start to head out to Halmir as well.
We then realize that Orla's not here. Derp.
She hid in a tent way back when. She heads to Halmir.
We all go to Halmir, and find a sneaky way in.
We enter into the Halmir. and we rest.
We go to the blacksmith, and he says there's a price on our heads in the kingdom of styxx. 1000 each.
We clean up, and get back out on the road to try to find the refugees and guide them back to Halmir.
We head two days to Deedre Bay, and don't meet the refugees. We hang out at see if they meet up with us.
50 left the trail, 2 women and 3 children are left. They fled into the middle of the battle, and got mostly slaughtered. It was horrible.
We learn that Black Orcs and Styxx have been at war for nearly a hundred years. No peace was possible.
Enog told Yopo to get the ore, the royalty knew orc spies were in the town.
So effectively, we re-ignited a long standing blood war that had been at peace for twenty or so years.
We lead the 5 survivors back to Halmir (going in from the south directly to the goblin center)
 
We travel to Zeif.
Church of Andor, and the House of Aberon.
Ton of new Construction. Lots of wagons going in, and going out.
