Session Recap: 1-9
General Summary
We've made it to Session 10! So here's a recap of the events that have occurred so far.
Zin'fir and Adresin Sanveen met as guards for a caravan under Yerso Brenkar .
When they stopped for the night, three more travelers joined their camp for the evening: Kavoth, Betz, and Gonrey .
The camp was attacked by Displacer Beasts, which the group fended off.
The party demanded to know what was in the cart, but Yerso insisted that bad things would happen if he opened it.
On the road, the party stopped at a small ruined tower. Inside was a coded book.
They accompanied the cart back to the city of Raven's Beak.
While taking a break in The Bird's Nest, a trio of bounty hunters from the Erias Accord (led by Behned Jastam) entered and apprehended a suspect, Kaludar, who would later be hanged.
The party followed Yerso to the home of Moris Mooney , the sponsor for this particular escort job.
Yerso's cargo turned out to be empty and Mooney said he was now free to go. His wife and child would be returned safely
Mooney hired the party to break into the home of the recently arrested mage and bring him a letter that would tie him to the case.
Adresin and Betz both asked Mooney for information regarding people of interest.
The party split into two groups to break into Kaludar's house. Gonrey and Betz broke into the office on the second floor, finding a list of names.
Adresin and Kavoth entered the lower level while Zin'fir kept watch
Guards approached the house as the party made their escape into the night.
Kaludar was hanged.
Mooney awarded the party for their efforts and would offer them work again in the future.
The party took a quest with the town under Captain Kalnirith Bluehold.
They began to follow clues in search of The Wallower, a murderous being of local legend.
The connected the string of killings to a secretive organization called The Dragonfly Society.
Clues led the party to the basement of a tailor's shop. Inside, they were attacked by the vicious Wallower himself.
Adresin revealed his Lycan form.
The party cornered the Wallower and killed him. As the shadows melted away, the town historian was revealed beneath.
They alerted Kalnirith Bluehold and she allowed them to leave and told them to not speak of this.
While looting the Dragonfly Society, they discovered an oversized key and a map to the town graveyard.
While following the map, the party noticed two individuals leaving a mausoleum. They also discovered a grave site that contained the symbol of The Visitors.
Mooney gave the party a quest to head to Worgin'toll and find out why his contact there wasn't responding.
Betz eliminated his target: Thurmar Brawntale.
The party headed out of Raven's Beak towards Worgin'toll.
On the way, they stopped at a cottage at Kavoth's request. Inside, he found the missing woman the church had sent him after. She and her lover were frozen in stone.
Another stop along the road led to a homestead that Mooney had told Adresin about. There they found 5 bodies. Three seemed to belong to a family, the other two were seemingly intruders. After investigating the scene, they discovered a letter from Grey Shepard.
Zin'fir found a red rose growing from a corpse on the side of the road. Betz plucked it, sending a beam of light into the air.
The party arrived in the town of Worgin'toll. The target, Parch, claimed to have never been contacted.
The entire town had lapses in memory.
Kavoth headed directly for the island in the lake, where the townsfolk had said to stay away from. After trying to break in to the house there, Ulazana cast a spell on him, knocking him unconscious. She took him into the dungeon below.
The party explored the dungeon. Kavoth noticed a growing black spot on his hand.
Inside, they found several undead Sea Elves and some Kuo Toa, one of which was crafting a statue of a strange, dark entity.
They cleared the dungeon, freeing Kavoth. They decided to continue deeper inside.
They encountered a heavily armored Sea Elf, who quickly pursued them back through the caves. They barely managed to defeat it.
Gonrey and Adresin found the source of the barrier that kept monsters from the town and destroyed it, but the mystery of the lost memory remains.
As the party emerged from the lake, they heard a wolf pack approaching. They took shelter and waited. Betz spotted a wolf-like creature in the night, but it ran off.
With a full moon near, the party travelled as far as they could before seeking refuge in an old cabin.
The night brought some strange happenings:
A new spot appeared on the map
A vision of a graverobber
Betz disappeared
The following morning, Betz emerged from the forest covered in blood. Adresin noticed the signs immediately: he had lycanthropy and had turned.
The party trekked towards an old friend of Zin'Fir's.
They located the Voidsoul within the orc territories. He cured Kavoth's curse, but needed more incentive to cure Betz.
The Voidsoul sent them on a quest to recover his captured rock golem from Bol'drugg and bring diamond dust back for the cure spell.
In the wilds of Bol'drugg, a small orc scouting party attacked the party.
In the night, Betz noticed a lone half-elven figure fleeing from Bol'drugg.
The party located the city and sent Betz and Zin'fir inside. They took to the rooftops and found the golem.
Adresin, Gonrey and Kavoth entered the goblin caves.
A mysterious half-orc rogue offered to help Betz if he gave him a cut of the loot. They agreed to work together and made their way to the battle pits.
Adresin, Kavoth and Gonrey tossed some gold to the goblins, who were easily swayed and took them to a cave exit near the battle pit.
The party regrouped and formulated a plan. After looting the treasure chamber, they waited for the golem to be moved back to his cave. Betz crafted a small explosive device and placed it on a weak wall. When the time was right, they blew it open and fled with the golem.
The Voidsoul awarded the party for their efforts and cured Betz curse, but warned him that he would always attract the eyes of other lycanthropes.
Betz and the Voidsoul came to an agreement that wouldn't force Betz to try and kill him in accordance with his duty to the Raven Queen.
The party headed back to Raven's Beak. A woman approached them in the Bird's Nest and asked them to betray Mooney in exchange for gold. They told her they would, but later decided not to.
Mooney offered another quest.
