Explore Verdant Expanse - HH44

General Summary

Meeting at the Flame of the Forest Inn, our adventurers made introductions and set off to explore the land to the Northwest of Xiomara, hoping to claim the reward offered by Raffyr the Just.

As they began to explore the unknown wilds, they came across a pair of wolves on their guard. Approaching them, Bullgup stumbled onto a trap covered in the snow. Now on guard themselves, the party approached the wolves, and using their close bonds with nature made friends with them. Working together to care for the infant they were guarding next to it’s slain mother. After a bit of arguing about what to do with the wolves and the baby, half of the party returned to Xiomara to drop the baby off at the orphanage while two remained behind, digging a shallow grave for the fallen woman. Spending the night in the pack’s cave, Bullgup talked to the wolves the next morning- learning more of the hunters that were killing and capturing animals, magic beasts, and anyone that would stand up to them. Getting a direction from the grief stricken wolves, the party set up to find these hunters. Unfortunately, the delay caused by caring for the infant gave the hunters a big enough head start to leave the area by creative use of Pixie Circles.

The party, learning of these parasites through their new acquaintance, Luvaris, a treant guarding the area. After a debate about man versus nature, Covak convinced the Treant to allow them passage by offering a meeting with Raffyr.

Setting on their way to rid the area of these plants that pose a danger to both nature and passersby they came across two of them in one area. Clearly the way the hunters escaped, a fight ensued. The plants used their abilities to rid the area of Meako before the rest of the party was able to dispose of them. Meako, finding himself alone next to another parasite, quickly made his way out of its territory, using his survival skills to find the nearest town.

The party did not come across any more of the parasitic plants, Meako, or the hunters in the rest of the area explored.
