Session 3 "He's as cold as ice" Report

General Summary

....the party stays the night in Drafalls with Slinger exploring the desolated village. Isaac sets Rockwell to watch as the other members retire to the chambers offered to them by Brother Gundar and the remaining council members. During the night Isaac's dreams are restless...is it a message to clarify or an omen of things to come? Lilyanna restless visits the libraries of the cathedral discovering much of the books are of regional history and of other learned topics. However her eyes catches a unique book and retires back to her chambers, to find much to her surprise, it's of a rather bawdy nature. Tempted to toss it into the fire she resists and retires for some rest. Slinger returns in the night and sneaks into Lilyanna's chambers and finds sleep on the lone couch in the room. When rest finds him he is visited and reassured he is not alone in these times. Lilyanna waked to find Slinger sleeping and she wakes him and speak through the early morning. Meanwhile Gunther, Rowan, and Isaac make their way to the kitchens to find breakfast where a dispute over food begins. Lilyanna and Slinger soon enter finding Gunther and Isaac wrestling over bacon while Rowan spectates. Lilyanna takes matters into her own hands and makes the party breakfast when Brother Gundar enters alerting to their departure. After ensuring the party is supplied for the journey they say their goodbyes and the party departs. Through several attempts Lilyanna discovers that Rowan, who has been leading them, has been going the wrong way. With a bit of instruction and guiding the party gets back on track and after sometime comes to the outskirts of a forest. Hearing singing, Slinger moves forward to investigate. It's here that he discovers a pair of harpies and quickly turns and runs. As Slinger breaks through the tree line screaming about "ladybirds" the party readies for the attack. Rowan is charmed by the harpies' song and moves toward them with Gunther hot on his heels and he strikes true. With the help of Isaac causing it to flee Gunther strikes it down and attacks the second calling upon Bahamut his glaive radiates and cleaves it in two. Later that night during camp Lilyanna catches movement and discovers one of the faerie dragons they saw previously. Waking Slinger the creature crawls into his lap and tells them of her tale. Her name is Maiwinia and she has been seeing the party for safety after her and her child were attacked. She asks Slinger for protection and he happily agrees. In the morning and after a short "pissing" contest between Gunther and Isaac the party returns to the road again getting lost due to Rowan's tracking. Once back on the correct course and after a couple of days they reach the grasslands. The party continues to follow the trail of what they believe to be the kidnappers. Slinger and Lilyanna go hunting one night as the party strikes camp. After a fair bit of tracking they find a herd of antelope and take two down with the help of Maiwinia.
