Travel Log: Day 3

Day 3:
 
We awoke to a violent thunderstorm that nearly tore down our tent. We hurried and packed up camp, and tried to take cover from the rain using our tent cloth. It took a good part of the day to calm down, so we ended up leaving around dusk. Luckily, it wasn't long until we reached civilisation. There was a small village called Aldin, which had only recently been reclaimed by the families that lived there. The village had been taken by orc and goblin raiders, and had been ransacked. The village had no people able to fight, so they had to abandon their homes. A few months ago, they were able to raise enough money to hire some mercenaries to take back their home, and the mercenaries were successful. They were still in the process of rebuilding, but they seemed to be doing well, for the most part. We were able to sell off the treasures we had found throughout our journey so far, and find an inn to rest at. However, as we went to go to our rooms, we were attacked and knocked unconscious by a group of cultists who brought us to their hideout, planning to use us as sacrifices. I was able to break out of my bindings and engage the cultists. As Talia tried to escape her bindings, I fought the cultists. The first two charged me, and I was able to hold them off.Then, the third cultist pulled out a crossbow and went to fire at me. As he did, Talia was able to free herself and stab the cultist through the back. We finished dispatching the cultists, and, seeing that their hideout was empty at the moment, began to search for valuables. We found 2 silver on the cultist's bodies, as well as a leather cap and a crossbow. In the hideout, we found an idol made of precious materials, and a ritual chalice, both of which were worth 18 silver. Finally, we found a broadsword, that seemed to be made of a mithril alloy of sorts. Finding all we could, we made our way back to the village, sold our treasures, and rested.
