Session 2: Chosen of Talos
General Summary
Still battling against the Anchorites of Talos, Nissany healed her downed partymember, Jensen Astria-Wagner, whilst Dymera ensured that Droop is stable, before returning to the fight. Both she and Boston were cought in a cultist's thunderwave, which Dymera responded to by stabbing the half-orc.
The rest of the party continued to fight, Anydemus finally obeying Elarnya's orders as he joined the fray whilst Jensen retreated with a tactical shocking grasp. The friendly anchorite traded blows with the others, blasting each other with storm magic. Nissany finally healed Droop as Boston dueled one of the cultists. A thunderous shatter from the party's unlikely ally finished off most of the anchorites, leaving only the strongest still standing. Elarnya emerged from the trees, focusing her attacks on the last remaining anchorite. After Boston goaded him into a duel, it was Anydemus who landed the killing blow, trampling him before tearing his head of using his jaws, a sight which most of the Hat Gang wish they hadn't seen.
Believing the threat was over, the party began to relax, although the mysterious stranger they had just met seemed unsure. He exploded a nearby tree, causing a boar to fly out, transforming into a half-orc after it hit the ground dead. The stranger introduced himself as Thokk Verantor, and he complimented the party on their combat skills. Thokk explained that the Anchorites of Talos had lost their way, that they no longer worshipped the Storm Lord correctly, and he had been tasked with destroying them. He offered to join them on their quest if they would help him to achieve his goals. Considering the anchorites had caused significant trouble for the party recently, they agreed.
Now with a new sixth member, the Hat Gang continue towards the Mountain's Toe Gold Mine, hoping to find Greta's mysterious assailant and retrieve her stolen property.
