MBATF: The Fiend Hunts

General Summary

The Hags Champion

Out of the flames, a large ogre looking creature emerges out of the flames. It has a similar build as an ogre but it is definitely not one. It has large tusks jutting from the bottom of the jawline. A skeletal face with the muscular of the oculist visible. The fiendish creature taunts the party. Probing the party for weakness. Almost like it is studying the tactics of the party. Marrlow took a devastating hit from the fiend. Angry and sadden, Tryael hits the fiend with a critical hit. The creature grins to Tryael. Promising that he will return. The fiend explodes doing damage to both Tryael and Marrlow. A portal emerges after the thunderous fiery explosion settles. Disregarding his companion, Raxinar, concerns. Marrlow enters the portal. Not caring where it would take him. All he wanted was to leave this foggy darkness. Raxinar implores the others to not to go. One by one they all hopelessly enter the portal. Winning the battle but defeated emotionally. Raxinar was the last to leave as the portal begins to lose its energy. Marrlow is the first person waking up from the dreamscape. His head throbbing from the encounter. He quickly jumps out of his room and checks up on everybody. Making sure that everybody is alive and well. They all are back at the Johass Bar'n Grill. Still in their sweat-soaked beds and head ringing. Ahchi fingers are bleeding because of Whobird attempts to wake Ahchi. Marrlow goes downstairs. Bursting in on Xalvador as he's eating breakfast. Informs him in a babbling nonsense about his dream. And then runs off. Xalvador dismissing and goes back eating his breakfast.

The Old and New Comrades

Entering the Johass Bar'n Grill are two unusual people. One a tall silver-haired half-elf in elegant clothing and an even taller elephant man cupping something tiny in his giant hands. Before Bifar Bottlehelm could greet them. They headed left to the smell of smoked meats and hoppy ginger drinks. After a long rest and the head throbbing has subsided. The party eventually went downstairs to talk business. Astrid follows the others into the restaurant section. She is greeted by two familiar voices. She draws her eyes up and away from the floor. She sees the faces that go with those voices, Serenity and Baruuta. These two were traveling companions of hers. They did odd jobs together. Astrid eventually traveled north following her visions. They have now reunited again. They took some time to get antiquated again. As well, getting to know the other people that Astrid has been traveling with.

Lets Go Shopping

Raxinar and Astrid headed back to Lady Wasserwalker. They asked several questions. Raxinar then decided to sign the contract before asking the group. Ahchi and Tyrael stayed behind. They stayed there to contemplate the night before and the contract on their lives. The rest of the party went to visit Inal at "Let's Drink Potions!". He mentioned that he is all out of potions. His supplier for a key ingredient has been late with his delivery. The main ingredient is troll blood. If they could help then there would be a discount. Inal also mentioned that he is working on something new. Tunnder volunteered to be a test subject for a discount. Inal will consider that proposal. Marrlow decided to get something off his chest. He stood up for Tyrael. Inal wasn't having any of it. He explained the Tyrael ghosted him afterward. Came to the date in dirty blood dried armor. A friend of his ruined the evening for everybody. He still hasn't received a proper apology from Tyrael.
Later that evening, Marrlow and Tunnder went out at night. They went out searching for this mysterious creature in the shadows. They didn't notice anything. Marrlow went to the guards in the main square. Asked questions about the creature in the shadows, but there have been no reports of any such creature. Marrlow then inquired about the urchins. The guard mentioned that there is no orphanage. A new religious group has been taking care of the children for the city. The group called themselves the Bladed Serpents. Marrlow expressions grow to one of concern.

Boat Trip

The group had decided to go into the water and search for this undersea city of sea elves. Ahchi did not like the idea of this. Every time that they suggested doing it. Ahchi coward under the table. But, Raxinar went ahead and signed the contract. After hearing this Ahchi had a panic attack. Tyrael suggested getting something to calm his nerves. So, Tyrael and Marrlow went to the other potion shop into. Tyrael wanting to avoid Inal at Lets Drink Potions. The shopkeeper at the Studdering Bugbear sold Tyrael and Marrlow a few potions. One of the potions is to calm down the nerves, but taking too much will kill. They also got three healing potions. They both got back to the Johass Bar'n Grill. Tyrael went to the bar to get some water for Ahchi. He then slipped in the drug into the drink. Ahchi being unnerved noticed that Tyrael is being extra nice. He refused to drink the water. Others tried to convince Ahchi, but they fail. Until Baruuta cast the spell Command on Ahchi. The command was for him to drink. So Ahchi drank. Tyrael glared at Baruuta for casting a spell on a comrade.
