Session 12: The Open Road

General Summary

After stocking up on supplies in Oakhurst the party set North along the old road toward Blasingdell. Halfway through the day the group was greeted by a priest and monk belonging to the Brotherhood of the glorious sun, a wind of the church of Lathander. The priest explained they believed that Lathander had become one with the old god Amaunator and that they travel to convert followers. The monk challenged Thoril to a duel to see who's faith was strongest. In a tough battle with the nimble monk, and Thoril defeated him with a last minute riposte. After the priest healed both duelists and advised Thoril to reach out to the High Radiance Ghentilara at the Morning Spire temple in Waterdeep. He also told him that they follow the sermons of the leader of the Brotherhood of the glorious sun, Daelegoth Orndeir.

The next morning after being accosted by farm hands demanding payment for camping on their land the party killed 3 farmers before letting the last flee. Rowan saw a castle in the clouds in the distant Northeast as well. The group learned that giants had attacked a nearby town named Nightstone from a fleeing carriage. Some passing locals flirted with Hadden and Thoril, and the group arrived safely that night to a sight of Nightstone under attack by a blue dragon and cultists.

Fleeing villagers explained the cult of dragon was raiding the town for treasure and the party rushed in defeating several cultists and kobolds while saving a women named Linda Swift and her family. She explained that Governor Nighthall was mounting an offensive from the keep and it was the last safe space left in town. As the surrounding building continued to catch fire the group had to get past three groups of cultists between them and the closing keep gates.
