Session 4: Seeds of Chaos

General Summary

After acquainting themselves with their new member, the pseudodragon named Bert, who did not like Kleech very much, the group packed up and continued on their new quest. They soon stumbled upon the clearing of Aunty Ingerwald, who had originally sent them to retrieve the amulet. But now, with Aurora's curse potentially cured, there was no reason to give it to her. Thus they attempted to sneak around her clearing. Halfway Trinky managed to spot a familiar crow, that she recognized as one of Ingerwalds. But with a clever spell from Kleech, which made them practically pass through the forest untraceable. And so they made it back to the path and out of the Autumn Woods. At the gate where they had entered and originally been stopped by two satyrs, they now found their post empty. Trinky tried to loot the place for valuables, but instead almost lost her thief's tools instead. Kleech on the other hand managed to find 15 silver coins. After leaving the woods behind they now had to choose between going back north to Wanwish to retrieve their reward from Cameron Fogstrider, or head south to start their quest. in the end they decided to send Kleech to Wanwish in their stead since he could much faster than they could walk. The rest camped out by the road in the meantime. By flying both day and night Kleech managed to reach the village, enter the folksguard's headquarters, get the rewards from the confused guards, and then leave. Although he flew a bit off track due to the darkness, with the aid of Bert he still managed to find his way back with all the gold they were promised, to everyone's surprise. He then promptly fell asleep due to exhaustion. The rest, thankful for his efforts, decided to let him sleep. In the meantime, Quinumo and Aurora set out to hunt for breakfast. Whilst they were stalking the forest edge, they somehow managed to see a caravan passing by and approached it. There they met the sly tiefling Salakor, who offered them payment of 10 gold per day in exchange for protection and a ride to the capital. After bringing the question back to the group they decided to accept. Thus they joined the two carriages-long caravan under the team name Triple Q, Quinnie's Questionable Qrew. Along for the ride were three other people, a dwarf named Joltan and two humans who were twin brothers. They spent the first hours getting to know Salakor, who just recently decided to become a merchant after a life as a drug dealer. After a few hours, Kleech woke up as the group was discussing the trustworthiness of Salakor. Then Trinky tried to pickpocket the sleeping dwarf, who woke up and got angry with her. A few hours later an arrow with a message was shot into the carriage next to Aurora, but she didn't notice. Instead, Trinky did, and jumped over and grabbed it. She then gave it to Quinumo to read. It read:

Your time is running out half-blood, you have five days. Then we act

This caused some serious suspicions and questioning from the rest of the party. She denied that she knew anything about it, but Trinky managed to see through her lie. Trinky asked Salakor to stop the caravan for a poop break. She then took Quinumo and started to plan how they were gonna make her admit to lying. Her final plan consisted of making Kleech carry her high up into the air and make her admit or he would let her fall. She ran this plan through the oblivious Kleech who agreed to partake. They then approached Aurora who was talking to Ravojhan and Bert. Kleech asked her if she was afraid of heights. When she said no, he gave up on the plan. Trinky then burst into accusation and asked her why she had lied. Aurora, overcome with stress broke down and pulled her weapons on her target, Quinumo. She jumped on top of him and put her blades to his throat. But could not bring herself to kill him, and dropped her weapons. She was then put in a headlock by Trinky. Confused by the conflicting actions and complexities of this social situation, the nervous Kleech could think of no better action than to dropkick the half-elf. With his talons tearing holes in her waist, Aurora fell to the ground and Trinky lost her hold of her. Ravojhan ran to restrict the aarakocra, as Bert began to nibble at the bird's feet. Quinumo, shocked at the chaos that broke out in front of him, pulled out his bow and threatened his party members, whilst urging them to calm down. Things seemed like they couldn't get more chaotic when Quinny was suddenly hit in the shoulder by an arrow.
