Session 2: Only Half a Heart

General Summary

Previous Session: Session 1: Another Day in Belsnik   The next day starts as the Lads awaken to a slow morning and realizes there are no jobs on the board. The Lads talk about whether or not to leave Belsnik due to the recent lack of good jobs. Shortly after, a man enters the tavern by the name of Terran Halfheart. He asks the Lads to save his wife from a loan shark’s goons who had taken her hostage. The Lads decide to take the job, even though the man cannot pay since he is broke. The Lads prepare for departure as Terran had said the loan shark would kill his wife in 7 days if he didn’t give him 100 GP, which he did not have.   The Lads look to rent a horse and cart from Horace Grimm but soon realize the price is too much for it to be worth renting. Instead of paying the offered 35 GP to rent, they spent a total of 67 GP and 5 SP to purchase it all. Krosk buys the horse and cart for 65 GP, Shyu buys the bit and brittle for 2 GP, and Hettle buys feed for 10 days for the remaining 5 SP. Glen makes a charitable donation to the now-poor Krosk, as well. Krosk names the horse Honey and the Lads set out to the neighbouring town of Krong with Terran.   At the end of their first day of travel, the Lads sleep, except for Hettle. Hettle is shot in the neck with a crossbow bolt by a group of bandits. Hettle wakes the Lads, and combat starts. The Lads easily handle the bandits, and Hettle puts the last one to sleep to interrogate him as Krosk eats the corpse of another in view. The bandit held no useful info, so Krosk killed him, and the Lads looted their bodies. Krosk takes a light crossbow from one of the bandits and calls it his Kroskbow. 7 SP was looted from the total bodies.   The Lads reach Krong the next day and are taken to the tavern, Dockmans Dropoff. Terran tells the Lads about the loan shark Byron Goldhand and that this location is his normal meeting place for his clients. While most of the Lads investigate around the tavern outside, Hettle tries to sell a fake necklace he had conjured worth 80 GP that would disappear in 2 hours. He managed to sell it for the full 80 GP to an old lady in the town, saying he didn't know what it does. He tries convincing the woman to sell it as soon as possible, but she says she will try to use it for other jewelry. Krosk pays 3 SP for the day at the stables to keep Honey and the cart while they're in Krong.   At the tavern, Willow finds a symbol on a wall of a red hand in a circle pointing southeast. Not knowing what it means, he asks the other Lads to help determine what it is. None of them recognize the symbol but determine that it is pointing them in a direction to follow. The group looks for more symbols on the walls in the direction the hand pointed to. They continue this until they reach the docks of Krong and determine the loan shark's hideout to be a warehouse.   Next Session: Session 3: Warehouse Woes
