Session 13: Mysteries of Langbro

General Summary

There's a foul smell of fire and brimstone in the air. Before the population has time to react, Jon's chicken, which he stores in his bag, attempts to flee in terror.   The cloud, high up in the sky, travels fast, from the east, against the wind. This is clearly no normal cloud. Where does it come from?   The Giant Hills to the east? Or beyond?...

Everyone explores the city of Langbro. Smog and Desperasjon orders enchanted armor from a magical store run by a gnome. They notice the sign of the demon lord The Guardian is everywhere. Meanwhile, Jon's chicken starts panicking, it's sensing something. A huge cloud of gas is appearing on the sky, from the east, going west, against the wind. It seems like the population is also taking note of the cloud, resulting in people fleeing in terror. The group takes cover at the inn, and the innkeeper tells them this is very unusual, nothing quite like it has ever happened before. They have to decide if they want to go north with the letter, or check out the rumored cult in the city, but the choice is soon made for them. Outside the tavern, they meet "King" Gil and Enk, who have been sent by the king to check out something in the Giant Hills east of town.   The party follows Gil to the Giant Hills, and Gil, egging for a battle, can't just leave the giant population alone. After defeating three hill giants, the group searches for a cave. Gil reveals something with great value to the king has been left there, and he was sent to recover it. They find a hidden cave entrance in a "claw" in the terrain. The stench of brimstone is strong there, but the group doesn't have time to think much about that, as they walk into an owlbear lair.   Gil picks up a stack of cards next to the dead owlbears, and decides to leave the party as he believes he's found what the king wanted him to find. The party decides to stay behind to rest, but as they do, they notice the cave goes even deeper inside. They find an abandoned mine, where they fight off some skeletons and wights.   Before them is an underground river with a strong current, and an old moldy rope bridge...
