Session 2.5
General Summary
Upon the request of Mayor Leury Goldemane, Rhorn stayed behind to discuss matters their goal of trying to establish their own faction, first asking about the validity of the group's endeavor to which Rhorn had genuinely answered. The mayor then related the situation to his experience of when he first took over as Mayor of Labrie which he then followed up with some words of wisdom. Also he stated that he was truly amazed and appreciative at the party's willingness to help him and the towns current situation without hesitation. At the conclusion, Mayor Goldemane said that he was open to a potential alliance once your relationship continued to progress.
Rhorn then went continued into the Draywood to meet back up with the party. On his travels through the Draywood he encountered multiple wisps of light calling out to him. Overwhelmed by the stimulus Rhorn falls unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness he was left with a simple message which was to "remember."
The following morning Rhorn rendezvoused with the rest of the group who was on their way back from the site of the most recent attack. The party shared that the source of the attacks was a teenager(Avery) using his family's deck of illusions, and a series of traps. After ironing out the story to relay to the mayor, everyone settled on saying it was a series of separate incidents by monsters including giant forest spiders. Upon returning to the Mayor and sharing the findings he reward the group with the two horses and cart(165GP), the 100GP reward, plus 40GP that was promised to the previous adventurers he sent out previously, as well as a rolled up piece of parchment that would let you speak with Lt Atticus Pawsright whom is currently stationed at the City of Hecht, a large city on the opposite side of the Forest of Secrets.
So now with this most vital of leads, the prospects of finding their friends and family never seemed so close. Thus the group decided to put the mission to retrieve the Baricon Ore on hold to rescue the villagers of Peche.
Prior to leaving the town of Labrie, the Mayor had one more request for the group. He asked for someone to stay behind and train his militia that he wanted to raise similar to that of Peche for protection when the Brisbanium concluded. Looking to oblige, the party had left Lowell, Maxine, and Weatherby to assist with the Mayor's endeavor. In return, each member was given a salary of 20GP a month and free lodging.
After stocking up, the trek to Hecht was finally underway. The first leg of your travels sent the group back through the Draywood and through the Carillon Isle countryside where during one of the days Fannti had spotted a Manticore carrying a cow off to the Hazy Hills to the north. Deciding not to chase the creature the trip progressed until the Mongave River crossing. A wide expanse of river that required a ferry to cross. Luckily Rhorn was able hail one, Nigel, who would ferry you for 15GP. To cut the travel expense, Rhorn had decided to prove a point and swim across which he was able to do with ease, also catching a prized catfish fish along the way.
Before continuing on Fannti had advertised the Amethyst Isle to the wayward fishermen. During the halfway point of the journey the group was halted by a Federation checkpoint which was informing travelers of a weapon tax. Deciding not to pay, the party split leaving Rhorn and Zhorn at the checkpoint with the weapons while Priestess Luna and Fannti went into town to conduct business.
Priestess Luna and Fannti made it to the city gates only to find out that there was not a Federation sanctioned checkpoint at the location described, and fearing for your allies safety Priestess Luna, and Fannti rushed back to the checkpoint.
