Session 2: Ambush of the Monkey Goblins
General Summary
Lucky, Vidrohi, Kairon , and Soleil arive at their secret, hidden resitance hidout to the dismay of Sarasi. Sarasi expresses her exasperation at Lucky for revealing their resistance association without her permission for what seems multiple times. Soleil and Kai introduce themselves and reveal that they actually have prior ties to the organization, so Sarasi shouldn't be too upset with Lucky. Sarasi, now calmed, recognizes Kai as her blacksmith contact and welcomes him into their hideout and although she is not familiar with Soleil's work she beleives her honesty.
Sarasi asks what happened to have brought both newcomers to the hideout to which Vidrohi answers. Vidrohi tells Sarasi a different series of events than what actually happened at the forge in order to protect his and Lucky's involvment with picking a fight with the cultists. Rather that the whole truth, Vidrohi shares that the cultists and Nerel were already assaulting the forge as he and Lucky arrived. Lucky backs up the story and explains Soleil and Kai's proficiency in battle.
Sarasi takes in the story and compliments the group on their actions. She welcomes the newcomers and offers them a role in their enclave, but expands that while she would love for them to become permanent members she does not currently have room for them to stay. Sarasi mentions that there is a room Kai and Soleil could share if only she could move the supplies currently taking up the room. Soleil is smitten with Sarasi's beauty and quickly volunteers to help in order to get closer to Sarasi. While the two work on the new room Lucky and Vidrohi relax with Kai in the commonroom.
Kai expresses his misgivings about leaving the forge behind and how important his work is to his life. Lucky attempts to sooth Kai, but Vidrohi bluntly puts that there may not be a good outcome for their recent activity. Kai agrees and decides that it would be best if he stays in the resistance hideout for a while to avoid retribution from the nobleman or cultists.
Sarasi and Soleil reunite with group and proposes an easy mission for the group to accomplish while they settle in. Two of the enclave's members have traveled to a nearby village to collect some materials for a larger, upcoming mission, but are a day late coming back. She gives details to the party on the route the others took and asks if they could try and catch them along the way.
Lucky quickly accepts for Sarasi's approval and Soleil also jumps on the opprotunity to impress the elven woman. The four soon set out into the jungle on a hidden path north east of Bhalrooz. Following the instuctions from Sarasi, the party continues along until they hear some nearby rustling in the brush. Lucky investigates the noise when the source is suddenly revealed as a troop of Monkey Goblins. Six monkey goblins unfurl from the lush jungle flora and attack the party. Startled and struggling to adapt to the jungle terrain, the party slowly takes out the goblins one at a time.
Taking a moment to catch their breath, the group notices that there is a reason for the goblins precesnce. Cart tracks are found leading off of the trail and into the brush. Following the clues, the party comes accross the dead bodies of the two missing resitance members, Nitin and Puresh. Their bodies have been disfugired by the monkey goblins so badly that it is unclear if they were killed by the goblins or some other force.
The party argues breifly on whether they should try and bring the bodies with them to the hidehout for a proper burial, but it is agreed that would bring too much unfortunate attention. Toghether they bury them in unmarked graves in the forest and collect the cart and its contents to return to Bhalrooz. Arriving back at the hideout the let Sarasi know the events of the day and while she is upset at the loss of friends and trusted allies, she congradulates the party on their job.
Sarasi informs the party that they will soon be enacting a new mission with the materials they recovered, but information has not been finalized as of yet. She asks the group to be on standby and be ready in the coming week. As payment, Sarasi allows the party to distribute the money and magical items they recovered amongst themselves while the rest of the materials are taken away.
