Session 012: Great Games & Freed Slaves Report
General Summary
Session 12
Olliidak took the Cerberus puppy as a pet. He named it.....
The sacrifice to Kyrah worked, Kyrah glowed in a copper light.
Hulgnir received a Few gifts from Volkan, including a Silvery Dragon Egg. Kyrah gave Hulgnir an Arrow +2. Hulgnir hatched the egg using the spell, Bond of the Dragonlords. He named it Jormungandr. Upon hatching the egg, Hulgnir knew that he'd need to attune to his Dragon on 10 long rests in 14 to finalize the connection to be able to communicate over a mile telepathically with his Dragon.
The chosen of the Oracle then travelled to Mytros where the Great Games was underway.
The torch was being passed along.
A meeting with the Lady of Coins & Euadne & Oren. A deal was struck the Lady of Coins would assist with the distribution if the Chosen helped her reclaim her throne.
The Games started with Minotaur Sacrifices, a tradition brought in by the Cult of Sydon.
The games involved Jumping
John got second place
Ollidak won running.
Oren won Javeling & Discus throwing.
Hulgnir won the wrestling.
John won the boxing event.
The Chosen of the Oracle entered the Relay race:
Kyrah ran the beach section. Veronica swam the underwater leg. Oren flew up the cliff. John won the fire dash. Hulgnir ran the Harpy leg.
The Chosen of the Oracle won the Great Games & were allowed to challenge last year's winner, Maximus Dikkus. He was cocky & allowed both Ollidak & John to fight him. This proved his doom. With Maximus dead the Minotaur's were freed.
Hulgnir kissed Vallus when she gave him his reward for winning.
The Chosen celebrated their victory with free wine in the Satyr's Tail, having now agreed to sponsor the inn (only stay there & promote it as the best in Mytros) they agreed for 2000 GP, wine for life, & because it was a front for the Cult of the Snake.
Euadne won the Great Debate. So she was awarded with 4 signed books & told of the Legendary Tower of Magius, hidden deep in the Oldwoods.
The 4 books, signed by author's. Can be read in any order. Each takes one day to read, including a long rest. They can be shared & read by anyone that wants to. Reading all 4 grants Arcana skill proficiency.
The Ultros was ready to be launched.
Oren, the Captain of the Ultros, was given a compass.
Queen Vallus pulled the Chosen aside & spoke of the missing gear she suspects was stolen by Gaius.
The Chosen were deciding which island to go to, as well as restocking. Prior to the launching of the Ultros.
The end of the Great Games places the Chosen of the Oracle at the next Chapter. The Ultros can hold 150 tons. The Ultros has a ghost crew that rows, helps with chores aboard ship, though they won't take the wheel.
When using the Ballistas the ghostly crew get +5 to attack, living crewmembers +6, & heroes +7.
Thus the Chosen has gained a new level (7) & a new fame point.

NPCs on the boat with the Chosen:
01. The Lady of Coins, she's going by Moxena. Euadne made a deal to help her reclaim her throne on Themis.
02. Versi, child of Sydon. The Oracle. (Mother to the spirit of Hulgnir's ancestor thats in the locket he was given.)
03. Pythor, alcoholic Womanizing Leonin God of Battle.
04. Kyrah, Goddess of Music. (She's become family to most of the Chosen of the Oracle.)

06. Aurak (Quartermaster of the Ultros. Dragonborn.)
07. Jason (Clerk of the Ultros, Human.)
08. Bastion (Navigator of the Ultros, Triton.)
I assume that Oren uses the Captain's quarters to rest, & Bullbug the one right below Oren's (the new deck is right below the lower deck & above the storage deck.) or the one under the Wheel.
Which of the rooms does the Junior Captain's of the Chosen use?
What oath did Hulgnir swear to his Dragon upon fully bonding it?
Ex 1, The Oath of the Dragonlord.
"I can't possess you, for you belong to yourself.
I cannot command you, for you are a free creature.
We shall serve each other, in the ways we both require.
We will increase our wealth, by righteous means.
We will achieve happiness, & harmony through knowledge.
We will aid those of our blood, Who have done harm.
I am blood of your blood, & bone of your bone - forever. "
Ex 2, Dragonheart, though more for knights than Dragonlords.
"A knight is sworn to valour
His heart knows only virtue
His blade defends the helpless
His might upholds the weak
His word speaks only truth
His wrath undoes the wicked."
You can make your own up, just remember that bound Dragons could abandon their oathsworn if the oath is ever broken. Or if they are mistreated.
