Session 2: Apocalypse Training Report

General Summary

After cleaning up their mess, the Funguise decided to make their way back to the temple from which they came from where Abnor was in a battle of ethics with himself. Upon their journey back, they ran across a group of gnolls chasing after a female human who took immediately to Gunthar's arms for protection. Right as soon as the battle was over, a war forged approached the group having just come from the template attempting to find itself in this changed world. The group came across a flyer on their way as well that the gnolls had dropped offering good gold for humans, half breeds, and forsaken to be delivered to the Rat King. Escorting the woman back to the temple, Abnor sought council with some of his brethren while the young woman they had rescued charmed Gunthar and attempted to have him take down Balazar who was the biggest looking threat within the group. Unfortunately, Gunthar failed to take down Balazar and the charm soon wore off and the young woman disappeared. With a direction in hand, the group set out towards a small town past remains of the previous town. Entering the town, they ran across a group of Kobolds and when to the Shinn. (The Shop and Inn). Gunthar befriended a goat that Shroombo decided to make compost out of later. Getting food and rooms for the night, Abnor found a very stout half orc woman in the back with a halfling in disguise that he spoke to, but she didn't seem to show any interest in him. The next morning Abnor explained that they were about to have to pay reparations for the goblin village when in the middle a large, fiendish looking orc burst through the door. After introducing himself Bojak Bloodletter commended the group for the destruction and death they caused, but also explained to them that they took down an important trading post as they marched to the temple. He also introduced his daughter Amanda and Gomm :) who explained everything to them as he'd ran into some of the scouting parties while running away from the goblin village fight. Abnor requested that the ones in the temple be spared and left to their own accord. Bajok agreed...but did "offer" them a job since they were so good at taking down towns to go take down a small village of dwarves that had moved in and named Gutithorp. Smaller bands had attempted, but the dwarves had fought them off and there was no time to deal with them when going for full conquest. Bajok taunted Balazar, but then offered him a ring when he wouldn't fight that was then bound by an incantation so he'd know where Balazar is and if he took it off he'd get a surprise. With more taunting from Gomm, he left with Bajok leaving Amanda with the group to head to Gutithorp to earn their freedom. Shroombo did send a bird with a message to the ones at the temple to evacuate immediately as there was a large war party headed towards them.   Arriving in Gutithorp, the group found themselves entering a small, quaint town powered by the feywild's magic running converters through the rivers into crystals. Touring the town, the ran across various shops and keeps and even a blacksmith with had an automated hammer that was pounding away at steel. Abnor shot his first cannister gun and the group began trying to understand everything that they had come upon. After getting a lay of the town, they spoke to one of the elders to see if Windbury would assist. They advised that they would speak with them and see what came of it and awaiting around town dusk began to slowly settle against the small town and the lights strung around town began to slowly glow.
