General Summary

Date: September 3, 2018 - 8 hours Players: Ryan, Darryl, Matt Fights:

Rot Troll vs. Celder, Phayrun, Sheppard, Doggo, Willow

Wozlathe Guard vs. Celder

To pass the time, Wren sends PH, CE, and SH to the eastern riverbanks to meet with the patron coming from the Tok'Saari Fields. Passing over the Four Corners, they proceed east until Doggo senses trouble southward. The group finds an entire worg family killed by a rot troll, surrounded by its own mire. Barely holding on nearby is Willow - the group slays the rot troll but not before Willow sustains serious damage.
Phayrun prays over the desecrated land and summons a celestial spirit in the form of the deceased worgs, named Teva. As Sheppard stays by a tired worg Celder and Phayrun continue East, meeting the patron as he crosses the large river. They return to Brimshire - the patron Lao informs the group that he escaped from the Wozlathe stronghold, where King Marduke is holding a number of Tok'Saari families hostage. Lao says King Marduke's forces have ransacked the western portion of the Tok'Saari fields and taken over the city of Wozlathe, driving out most of its civilians. The Protectors, guardians of the Tok'Saari, are under his control. The mission is to rescue as many captives as possible to allow the Protectors to fight back freely. Bix and Mellow decide to leave early, right after the conversation.
The trio make use of the net few hours - Phayrun practices with the Crusader's Pallium, Icedawn Armguards, and Rolling Thunder. Sheppard receives his Black Rock Scythe and tries using Cloven Heart. Celder sorts out his debt with Wren. Medan leads them to the teleportation circle where they are transported to the Starfeld residence.
The guards are wary; it seems Bix and Mellow travelled through leaving nothing more than a letter. Mr. Starfeld welcomes the visitors and offers them a carriage driven by his servant Joris.
Traveling to Wozlathe, the trio encounters a pair of tabaxi watching them through the trees and choose not to pursue. When they arrive at Wozlathe's gates, the guards are giving them a hard time before Commander Filis lets them through, charmed by Mellow. Celder takes this opportunity to retrieve a signed paper from the commander.
As they explore the town with Mellow, they briefly meet Brogga, who sells them a thunderbrand. Celder causes a ruckus at the stronghold archway by knocking one of the guards off the bridge. They all choose to take refuge in the forestry around the stronghold.
