Ostian Grand Hall Razed!

The Grand Hall of the Ostian Court sacked and razed! A select few of the King's elite court managed to escape with Princess Lilina in tow to a secret sewer outlet. After trekking through the southern Ostia forest for a few hours the Court Crew and the newly "crowned" Queen Lilina, they came upon a group of castle foes. They were cut off from foraging by the assault of the enemy dogs, both canines and thugs alike. They were also visited by a briefly glowing orc (who turned out to be a future-friend). Once the battle was concluded, coins and weapons were salvaged, and the orc introduced himself as Gru. The princess woke after some deliberation and valiantly assisted in the negotiation to bring Gru to the aide our humble heroes. After resting for the night, the band of brave countrymen and women decide to head to Carmichael to seek aquatic transportation north. Right now, our heroes' only hope is distance between the tracking villians and time to plan the next move...
