Session 2 Summary

by Ludwig Caesin

In the last three days I've been able to gather my things. My brother didn't want to see me, whether that it is on duty or on avoidance I do not know, but it certainly feels like the latter. There's two goals, either I return with information about the blue herd of deer, or I return with the head of the druid.

Near coin square, I meet a lizardfolk that looks like the druid from the blue herd. My heartbeat rises drastically, I can feel the heat under my armour as I step towards her. We stare at each other for what feels like forever, as I finally speak up I ask her; "What were those blue deers?", she tells me she has nothing to do with it. "Were you not that druid?" She tells me that she has no clue what I am talking about, seemingly unbothered by this interaction.

Erm..Maybe this was the wrong person...I feel like an asshole.
 
In the distance there's some rustling. I'm still a little too much in thoughts to notice much.
 
Turns out that the Lizard hit a Dwarf on the head, a little hard. On the other side there's an half-orc, violently slashing through the foliage in the distance. An Elf has shown as well, she is crying hysterically.

My first thought is that we are being ambushed, making me pull my sword.

The Lizard shouts for us to stop, talking about a misunderstanding. The half-orc gets closer, putting her weapons away and showing her hands while trying to soothe the elf. It's odd that these species are here in this forest. They're not dressed like druids. I ask them why they are here. The lizard got a bit explosive, so I tried to stop her by putting my hand on her head.

The dwarf introduced himself as Thorgott, the Lizard as Folium. I ask if they have seen the blue glowing deer. No one seems quite aware of them. Are they even from around here? I decide to introduce myself as Ludwig. Afterwards the half-orc is introduced as RuHa and the Elf as Juniper. Thorgott wants to stick together. I agree, with numbers having a higher survival rate. Juniper also seems to agree, but phases it as us being her escort. I do not know how to feel about this.
 
In coin square, found some books including money for 4 barracks, including one not in use, for the ivory order. This is from long ago, but it shows possible history for my family.

We also went into the tavern, Juniper found a phamplet here that seemed to be from an organisation that helps people I need. She mentions this could help RuHa, who apparently needs to take care of some baby that isn't her own?

We narrowly escape being attacked by a weird plant creature that Folium discovered and Thorgrot barred up. Outside we do find another creature like that, we aren't lucky enough and it sees us. We engage in combat, before we know two others show up. We managed to kill them all.
