Looking for Trouble

DM: Everllot

Party: Traains Weck, Galdric Manuel, Kaecil Kayessan, Delnis Ahlorsath, Jack Tillerman
 
Jack sits down with his younger brother Liam to tell him the tale of his latest adventure
 
Aye Liam, ‘twas an adventure indeed. We run into three giant spiders not far from here. They tried to restrain Traains Weck wit their sticky webbing but nobody can restrain Traains. Once he got free of those webs he shot two of em right between the eyes wit deadly aim.
 
Not too long after that we went to the pearl beds near the family farm. We found a good bit a pearls but we also run into some nasty Sahuagin at the edge of the water. Lucky fer us, we had warnin’ from the alarm that Galdric setup. When you git old enough to travel on yer own, make sure you’re always alert fer danger. Idriell may have a lot of adventure but tis also full o’ danger. Delnis and Traains took the brunt o’ the attack n’ we managed to get rid of em awful quick. Shoulda seen Traains kill three of em’ in six seconds. Never seen anyone so quick wit’ a crossbow. We made a mistake though n’ decided to rest near the water. Five more of the beasts showed up n’ attacked at night. I fought beside the others, swattin’ at em wit’ me staff before we took em all down.

Remember what I said ‘bout bein alert for danger. If you need to rest, make sure yer in a safe place first.
 
We kept travellin’ till we come upon a lake. At the edge of the water there was an orc who was hurt mighty bad. He couldn’ talk and was raspin’ for air so I did what I could to stabilize his wounds. While I was kneelin’ down next to ‘im a woman rose up out o’ the water carryin’ a sword. She was the most beautiful woman I ever seen, well ‘cept for your mother and yer sister n’law o’course. Her voice sounded like chimes an’ she spoke in a strange language but I knew everythin’ she was sayin.’ If only you coulda heard it. She gave me this sword for havin’ a pure heart and helpin’ an enemy.
 
Jack sets down the sword and Liam pulls on the handle trying to lift it
 
Remember that Liam, sometimes we have to do things that don’ make sense cause they’re the right thing to do.
 
When we crossed the river we found an ancient ruin. Everythin’ was crumbled ‘cept for four statues that were used for some sorta ritual. Galdric thought they was…
 
He cuts off as he remembers who he’s talking to
 
Well, that’s not important. While we was at the ruins we got attacked by some angry orcs and had no choice but to fight ‘em. I entangled a couple of ‘em in some vines and Galdric kept ‘em slippin’ and slidin’ in puddles of grease while Kaecil threw a giant fireball that killed three of ‘em. Everyone else kept fightin’ em and I changed into a wolf to help out with some vicious bites until we killed ‘em all.
 
On the way home we was attacked by some trees that was affected by the blight. They had us completely surrounded an’ things was startin’ to feel hopeless but we managed to run out of the way while Kaecil lit them all up wit’ another giant fireball. Never seen such a big bonfire in me life.
 
We went back by the same route n’ despite me tracking skills we never found that lake. I suspect it was some sorta magic. Idriell is full o’ strange magic indeed. Sometimes it can be beautiful but you always got to be weary of dangerous magic as well. Aye well, guess it’s past time you got yerself into bed.
