Session 1: Apocalypse Training Report

General Summary

ithout hesitation. The goblins seemed intimidated by Shroombo's presence for some reason. The group were asked to dinner where one of the humans that were tied up was placed on the table and his throat gashed open where four goblins began eating him in front of them. After they declined, they advised that Balazar was sick (hence the mask) and Shroombo was able to bring the human back as a zombie where they proclaimed it was because of his sickness spreading. The group were immediately sent away and the remaining humans and four goblins were killed. Regrouping and resting in the woods, a sprite found the party and decided to play a few tricks. Balazar was turned into a badger, but Gunthar with his hatred towards all things fey was able to see through the illusion and spear the sprite ending the spell on Balazar. The group made their way back to the goblin camp early in the morning to try and take it down; however, everything they tried didn't work. Gomm walked in and attempted to trade and talk, now noticing a small band of Orcs there making trade. Buying some crude arrows, the wedding rings of the humans that had just died, and "fresh meat" (the inner thigh of the little girl) he makes his way back to the party to show off his prizes. Gunthar nearly goes into a rage as images of his past begin flooding back into his PTSD riddled brain and Shroombo decided to unleash an attack on the encampment. A large battle ensued where all the orcs and nearly all of the goblins were destroyed. Gomm took this advantage to escape for his life into the woods while the party finished off the remainder of the encampment. Now, bloody and slightly beaten the group now stand in the middle of a desolated village of creatures as the sun begins to brightly shine to the start of a new day. Dazed and confused at the events that had taken place, the party slowly come to and try to gather themselves. Abnor is approached by a member of the order and gave him the rundown about the state of affairs in the lands around them. He explained that the order had been mostly wiped out and what was left had been taken prisoner in order to keep Tiamat's trophies pristine. It was explained that humans in this area of the land were considered as cattle: labor or food and the further out you went the more the races mingled together, but within the 200 miles or so it's an evil escapade of monsters. The groups name the "Fun guys" was coined at this time. During this time, Shroombo made his way outside to look out across the lands to notice that in the past 100 years the vast desert had turned into a giant forest with mushrooms growing from it. He also was able to pin point another creature just like him. Exiting and walking through the forest now riddled with giant mushrooms, the party comes across a large, mushroom-like creature promptly named the "Shent" or a mushroom Ent. Shroombo gathered the events that had passed through the large gardener's eyes and fixed where bark had grown up around his face. The two took off and went to the large area where the colony was growing and Shroombo thanked Grover for doing his work and asked him to continue to do so. The only real advice that the gentle giant had to give was "Coexistence". The large giant nodded and began making his way off into the distance where the rest of the group began moving towards a small plume of smoke off in the distance. As the party continued on their path, they came upon a swamp where Gomm poked his sword into the water only to find it sticking into the head of an adult black dragon. As they discussed the dragon explained that Grover would send him meals and then use his fecal matter to continue growth and they coexisted together. Slowly sinking back into the swamp, the party attempted to go by but the young dragon leapt forward and attacked. After the battle carried on, the dragon fell and Shroombo was able to help Abnor harvest many parts of it and infuse his body with the scales. Soon after, they came upon a small settlement of goblins.   The party began surveying the area; however, a bat rider spotted them and sounded the alert. Abnor, Shroombo, and Balazar (wearing a plague doctor's mask) were brought before the goblin king. After some dialogue, Shroombo advised them to turn the forge off of their smithy...and they complied nearly w
