Session 6: Journey to Zarastil
General Summary
Dawn broke on Amarley and the party awoke. Frances, who had been awake for well over an hour woke Dormaruk and Nakor one by one and brought them down for breakfast. Kazagal awoke in the smithy Klaras bed. He then rolled over and went back to sleep. After breakfast, Dormaruk decided to question the elf Deorgria some more about the ship she had been talking about in her sleep. Frances and Nakor on the other hand went to get Kazagal from his nightly visit. Back at the herbalist hut, Dormaruk didn't manage to find out anything about the ship as she didn't seem to remember. But she did show signs of some strange behaviours that reminded him of the bugbear back in the forest. He told the herbalist about this and asked him to keep an eye on her. He then walked over to the smithy.
There the party was reunited outside Klaras Smithy when the newly awoken Kazagal came out and met up with the rest. After a short shopping trip in the general store called The Travelers Friend, the group left Amarley and headed for Zarastil. On the road, they were met by a strange figure who gave them a note written in Deep Speech, before he just vanished into thin air. Later that night they finally made it to the inn known as The Empty Cauldron.
There they met two other companies. Nakor and Kazagal sat down with a monk who was travelling with a monkey, a turtle and a pig. He was travelling west with his strange party. Frances and Dormaruk sat down with a old halfling pirate named Wilace Bromboulder and his mute friend Bigrim Mursk, who he constantly mocked especially from, . Wilace told them a lot about what had been happening in the capital. He had seen some members of Frances company heading to the castle. The party spent the night in the inn and in the morning they continued their trip. But not after Kazagal shared his secret with Dormaruk, that he knew who Nakor was and was actually just after his gold.
They walked for almost the entire day until they heard a cry for help. They found a cart being attacked by a strange draconic beast without wings. The Rage Drake turned its attention to them as they approached it. When Nakor tried to talk to it telepathically it got mad and attacked. The party quickly surrounded it. The reckless rage drake got angrier and angrier, spreading heat and fire around it, but never managed to kill anyone. Nakor managed to blast it with two quick ice orbs that cooled the drake down. As the beast tried to escape Dormaruk managed to grab hold of it and kill it with his horns.
When he dismembered it Frances managed to spot something in its mouth. She found that the beast had killed at least five of her former comrades. The merchant Quinton Tarant thanked them and after they helped him out. The party decided to help him and pull his cart to the capital. When they arrived they made it through the slums of Gorums Hollow and went through the wall and into the capital of Zarastil.
