Session 4 notes

Down time:
Lakry the teifling is cooking a hot pot
I help him and use a portion of my rations for the Hotpot
 
Fracelupe wants to talk:
She hoping to head to Prysula to make a fortune.
She asked about what we were doing- I didn’t have an answer, partly because I (Liz) couldn’t remember and partly because of how shook Morningstar was after her vision.
 
Motias, caravan head wants to talk to us:
There is a crossroads
Usually take the eastern turn through ruined town. Though there’s been some sights of bandits in the area as of recent.
Terrain of the western swamp turn have its own unique challenges.
Enshaa might know about these bandits knowing he’s a local to this area.
Turns out, he’s dealt with them once in the past.
Had a run in over a month ago. They’re a spultet faction who needed weapons and he ran a few up to them.
Leader was bald and had many piercings.
About 40 of them in total. He didn’t know they were attacking traders.
 
Chirthise thesis continues:
He aims to prove my father’s life work
His wizard dad’s work was stolen
His thesis is based around the level of spells: he’s trying to prove it exists with concrete numbers.
 
The journey through bandit’s lair:
We make a plan for handling the bandits:
Morningstar Francis and Tesse in the front
Nickton Levi and Chirthise in Kart 2
Paelat, Fracellopie, Vermorat and Gunter
The other bois in 4
Enchaa, Byrod and Lakry in the back
Travel for a day without interruption before being stopped by a voice on the road.
 
The interruption:
A man steps into the clear who matches Enchaa’s description.
He says we will run into something we’ll regret
The entirety of the blank pathway is coated with traps.
Numerous caravans have headed this way. Few made it through.
He seems to believe what he’s saying.
Our sorcerer friend appears to have made it through.
“Have you seen any orcs, half orcs or Goliaths?”- Come to think of it, no.
Lonvani- hires a bunch of mercenaries to act as a secret government.
This bandit captain let us pass safely after we promised we’d kill this Lovani.
 
The abandoned town:
This entire town has been consumed by fog.
Something destroyed this town long ago. No one knows what or where it came from.
There is a few undead that run through the city.
 
The bridge:
 
Some real shit went down when we were going to cross this bridge.
There are about 5 bodies and a broken kart on the other side of the bridge.
They are dressed like military regulars. Much armour has been scavenged. The bodies are 4 days old. They wear the same Red and Green gamberson.
Then we heard the sound of chewing. We noticed it was coming from a green tent and approached it stealthily.
It’s hungry, starving even. We prepared to take it out as quickly as possible without it making too much of a mess of us.
 
The creature:
Stringy, just shy of 11ft tall. Branch like arms, skin is jaundice. It’s a troll that has shrapnel and stone and orc tusks ingrained into its body.
 
Combat starts next session.
