Chapter V: Escape from Averlund

The Tyranny of Tok

General Summary



You hear the sounds of a bell in the distance as a crier announces news from the local area. You hear the alarming news that Averlund is now under Martial Law due to the events at Mystvale Manor. You wait until the cover of night as the mist creeps from the seashore to make your move. It's time to be rid of this city and let the MANTICORE take care of the rest.

Returning to the Timid Tortle Tavern, our adventurers tell the leaders of MANTICORE of their exploits in Mystvale Manor. Handing over enough evidence to take the Mayor from his seat of power, Bimpkin, Kovash, and Ash are inducted as full-fledged members of the illicit organization. Resting their eyes in the Cozy Nook, they are finally able to get their long-overdue night of sleep.

Rousing from his trance, Bimpkin is met by one of his monk teachers, Brother Mathias, and is given a scroll of the Open Hand with several training techniques outlined ontop of it. After a brief bout of training, Mathias award Bimpkin his own Gnome Hooked-Hammer fitted specifically for his stature. Parting ways, Mathias leaves the drow who then returns to his friends.

Awakening to the sound of bells in the distance, our three allies hear the troubling news from the Crier of Averlund that the city has been locked down due to the events that unfolded in Mystvale Manor. Seeking guidance from Ophie, they are advised to make their leave of the city and decide to do so under the cloak of night.

Waiting until the wee hours of the morning, they make their move. With the combined efforts of the stealthy Ash, the dextrous Bimpkin, and the intimidating Kovash, they are able to slip out of the city, but not without detection. Fleeing into the cover of a nearby wooded area, they travel deep into the treeline and make camp without the heat of a campfire. Upon waking, they continue onward, they stay off the beaten path, avoiding detection.

Later that day, they are spotted by a young adventurer from Tok Proper that identified himself as Darwillian, a novice adventurer looking to make a name for himself and traveling to the city in order to book a ship to the northern coastline. He bids the adventurers a farewell before continuing on his way. Deciding to avoid any further suspicion, our heroes decide it is safe to travel the roads, setting up camp every night a bit off the tracks before continuing their trek and finally arriving at the farming community of Bilchmarch.
