Session 1
General Summary
Fortuna was knighted by the king in Littlebrook and was presented with a suit of full plate armour
and her magical war horse. She was now titled Lady Fortuna. During the ceremony the king
stopped to tell his assembled Knights that he had a vision from Pelor that the kingdom was in
danger and that he was to search for The Map of Titus. The party returned to Mount Macarack with
Sir Caelon and his companions. Flek headed off to Eldaran to pursue the study of the arcane arts.
At the library the group researched The Map of Titus and found a poem by an ancient elven sage
which referred to such a Map. After reading it for some time they began to suspect that the
magical map they had found in the depths of the Sunless Citadel could in fact be the very map
they were looking for. They also began to suspect that the very group they were making up was
the perfect group to decode the mystical runes on the map itself. They decided to head to Eldaran
to try to read the first rune.
Before they had a chance to leave the monastery the place was surrounded by hundreds of orcs.
All 5 tribes of the local area were united under one banner - that of The Demon Prince! They were
led by a black robed human who called himself Goroth the Chosen One. He had a large giant as
some sort of a body guard. He demanded the Knights surrender the Abbey but obviously Sir
Alfred refused. So the orcs attacked. Their numbers were such it was going to be impossible to
stop them and sure enough before long the orcs were scaling the walls and getting onto the
battlements. A running battle ensued during which the defenders were forced slowly back to the
courtyard in the centre of the Abbey. Tor encountered his father and watched as his father killed
Sir Mades, Tor's sparring partner. Tor then engaged his father in a battle to the death, finally
killing him and taking his magical greatsword. Things were looking desperate when the battle
reached the courtyard. Then the portcullis started to open up and Kai rushed off to find out who
was there. It was Father Willen, the librarian. He had an unholy symbol of The Demon Prince in
his hands and tried to cause Kai to flee in panic but Kai's resolve was strong. Kai stopped the
priest from running and brought his treachery to an end. Then the orcs were in the courtyard.
Things were looking desperate when the Tree of Health suddenly animated and started laying into
the orcs. Before long there was a great banging on the castle doors. Kai went and opened them and
in strolled two more trees, although slightly smaller than the Tree of Health. The entrance of the
trees into the battle swung the outcome and the orcs were routed!
Sir Alfred asked the party if they would mind travelling to Thistledelve with news that the orcs
were uniting. They said they would do that and headed off. There they spoke to Prince Jarrad with
the news. The prince was thankful for the information and concerned about the situation. The
party headed on towards Eldaran.
Entering the woods they were once again stopped by the elves, blindfolded and taken to the elven
home. Here they met Flek and Shilana. The two seemed to be getting on very well. It just so
happened to be the night of the new moon that night and Traubon took out the map and looked at
it. Sure enough there were letters only he could read. As he read them out loud they burned into
the map itself.
Shilana asked if they would do her a favour. She was bound not to leave Eldaran by the Queen,
but she believed it was time for a prophesy to be fulfilled. She told them that her unicorn's father
had given up his horn to help a brave warrior of the north, but that warrior had been killed and the
spear that was made from the unicorns horn was lost. She asked the party if they would travel into
the north east and try and recover the spear for her. They agreed.
